Took my husband here for our anniversary. Sat on the Al Fresco Terrace, ordered the Capriciano Graze Platter and the Sicilian Sea Bass, and somehow stretched dinner into a four-hour evening. Could not have asked for a better night in wine country.

The handmade pasta is the real deal. I’ve been to Italy a few times, and the Ravioli al Limone at Capriciano took me straight back to a little spot we found outside Florence. Service was warm, the wine list goes deep, and the room felt like it had been there for years.

Best wood-fired pizza in Sonoma County, full stop. The Margherita is what a Margherita should be — three ingredients, perfect dough, lightly charred. The Pizza Capriciano is more adventurous and worth the order. Crust comes out of the firewood oven in under three minutes.

Walked in not knowing what to expect, walked out understanding what people mean by “real Italian hospitality.” Our server walked us through the wine list, recommended the Rigatoni Mezzi with Wagyu Bolognese, and never made us feel rushed. Capriciano is going to be a regular.

We booked the Long Table for my mother’s 70th — 18 guests, family-style menu coordinated in advance. Capriciano walked us through every course and wine pairing, and on the night, everything flowed. Multiple guests asked us for the contact afterward.

The Sicilian Sea Bass alone is worth the drive. Olive oil poached over Yukon Gold potatoes, fennel, San Marzano — every component made sense together. Paired it with a Pietradolce Etna Bianco from their list and I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it.

I’m from Brooklyn, and I’ve been chasing the right Italian dinner since I moved to California. Finally found it. The Lasagna is layered the way my grandmother layered it, the Bolognese tastes like Sunday, and the bread is actually warm. Take that as the highest praise I can give.

As someone who works in the local wine industry, I’m picky about lists. Capriciano’s is one of the most thoughtfully built I’ve seen in Santa Rosa — Sicilian whites you can’t find everywhere, a beautiful Etna Bianco, a proper Vin Santo flight. Our server paired every single course.

You can taste the difference handmade pasta makes from the first bite. We shared the Penne al Pomodoro and the Spaghetti con Gamberi e Vongole, and both arrived perfectly al dente with sauces that clearly weren’t out of a jar. Already booked the next visit before we left.

Started with a Cocchi Americano on the terrace and the Capriciano Graze Platter — felt like Italy in the best way. Stayed three hours, never felt rushed, and the bill at the end somehow felt fair. The aperitivo hour at Capriciano is the move in Santa Rosa.

Hosted a closing dinner for visiting clients. Private space, set menu, professional service from start to finish — and the food gave us something to talk about that wasn’t business. The team at Capriciano made it look effortless. Definitely returning.

Came for Sunday lunch with my parents and my brother’s family — eight of us, kids included. The kitchen accommodated dietary restrictions without making a thing of it, the Lasagna was a hit with the kids, and the wine kept flowing for the grown-ups. The kind of place you tell friends about.
