Authentic Italian Restaurant in Newtown
A little taste of the Amalfi Coast, where handmade dishes, generous pours, and warm Italian hospitality come together beautifully.
Welcome to Capriccio Osteria Newtown
Since 2015, Capriccio Osteria has been serving authentic Italian food inspired by generations of family tradition and genuine hospitality. Founded by restaurateur Michele Rispoli, our restaurant was created to bring the flavours, warmth, and spirit of Southern Italy into Sydney’s Inner West.
You’ll find handmade pasta rolled fresh daily, wood-fired pizza cooked to perfection, and seasonal dishes influenced by the coastal flavours of the Amalfi Coast, all reimagined with a subtle modern Australian influence.
