The Italian art of celebrating — birthdays and milestones at Capriciano, in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country.
In Italy, a birthday or a milestone is not marked with a quick toast and a slice of cake — it is honored with a long table, a flowing wine list, and a meal that everyone remembers. At Capriciano, we bring this same Italian sensibility to celebrations at our Santa Rosa osteria. Whether you are turning forty, fifty, eighty, or simply marking a year you want to remember, we will help you plan an evening of handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, Italian and California wine, and the unhurried hospitality that turns dinner into a memory.
What Makes a Celebration at Capriciano Special?
Italian Hospitality, Sonoma Setting
A celebration deserves more than a reservation. It deserves a setting, a menu, and a team that understand that this night is different from the others. Our osteria sits in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country, with private and semi-private spaces, a wine list that spans Italian classics and Sonoma County standouts, and a kitchen built to feed a table of two — or thirty — beautifully. From the first toast to the last espresso, we take care of the details so you can take care of your guests.

Celebrations at our Santa Rosa osteria arrive the way they should — with calm, warmth, and a sense that everything has been thought through. We coordinate the menu in advance with you, walk you through the wine pairings, and reserve the right space for your party size, from intimate tables for two to full buyouts for 89. On the evening of, our team is there from the first guest to the last toast — pouring, plating, recommending, and quietly handling anything that comes up. No rush, no stress — just an Italian celebration done right.
Why Choose Capriciano for Your Celebration?
Built to Host the Table
Our osteria was designed with the long Italian table in mind — private dining for intimate parties, a full Al Fresco Terrace for warmer evenings, and the option of a full restaurant buyout for the largest celebrations. We host birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, and family gatherings of every size, and we make every one of them feel personal.
A Menu Worth the Occasion
Every Capriciano celebration is built around food and wine. Hand-cut pasta, wood-fired pizza, San Marzano sauces, Sicilian sea bass, slow-braised lamb shank, and a wine list that runs from Valdobbiadene Prosecco to a Vietti Barolo Castiglione. Tell us what you love — we will build the menu around it.
