Capriccio Osteria, Bringing Authentic Italian to Rodd Point

Capriccio Osteria didn’t just open its doors in 2015, it brought an entire Italian legacy with it. Founded by Michele Rispoli, the restaurant was built on three generations of Italian hospitality and one unshakeable belief: that food made with passion is food worth gathering for.
Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and a kitchen that blends old-world tradition with a distinctly Australian heart. This is Italian dining as it was always meant to be, shared, celebrated, and full of life.

Buon Appetito!

From the Amalfi

Coast to Your Table

Every dish begins with intention and ends with something worth sharing. Hand-rolled pasta, blistered wood-fired pizza and a kitchen inspired by the flavours of the Amalfi Coast, brought fresh to every table in Rodd Point.

Guest Experiences at Capriccio

At Capriccio Osteria, every meal is made to be shared and remembered. Hear from the guests who have experienced our warm Italian hospitality, authentic flavours, and welcoming atmosphere in the heart of Sydney’s Inner West.

We had an outstanding meal at Capriccio Osteria in Leichhardt. The House-Made Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia was warm and fragrant, a simple start done very well. The Saffron Fettuccine with slow-cooked lamb ragu, green olive and pistachio was rich and beautifully balanced. The Roasted Chicken with ajo bianco, roasted pumpkin, salmoriglio and almonds was tender and full of flavour.

I went to this Italian restaurant with some friends and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything we ordered was spot on. The carpaccio as an entrée was easily the highlight, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The octopus was also incredible, tender, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. We also shared a couple of pizzas, and they were excellent, thin, crispy base with just the right amount of toppings.

Lovely food. Really liked the bread and Italian sausage pizza. The sausage is very chonky. Refreshing herbal dressing on the tomato salad really elevated the taste. Ink pasta is ok. Tasted better crab sauce nearby. Interior is way too dark. I need to see the colors of my food!

Had the pizza here 3 times the past month. Been fantastic each time considering it was takeout. Nice and fluffy wood fired pizza – perfect for the kids. Vodka pizza with the pepperoni is a little on the spicy side, but overall quite delish. Probably on the pricey side for takeaway, but worth it. Will have to go back and try the pasta.

Marc Menz

Awesome food, especially the Pesto pizza – the potato went so well with the pistachio and pesto! Fantastic pasta as well, my favourite is the squid pasta. Desserts are super filling and delicious too. Definitely coming back!🥰

Nicole Wong

Came here for dinner with some friends on Friday night. The restaurant was packed, so recommend to make a booking to avoid disappointment. Service was quick, but most importantly everything was tasty. The highlight of our feast were the Octopus with Nduja Butter, the Beef Carpaccio, Carbonara Pizza and Saffron Fettuccine. We will come back again for sure.

Capriccio Osteria delivered an amazing dining experience. The squid ink pasta was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, while the Amalfi pizza was outstanding with its light, crisp base and fresh toppings. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that feels both lively and cozy, making it a great place for a night out. To top it off, the staff were warm and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian with excellent service

Delicious food and drinks, amazing pizza. Lovely live music. Had a few hiccups with our order and our hostess dealt with it so well, and discounted our meal without asking. That is what 5 star service is.
