The Long Table at Capriciano — one table, one party, one Italian evening, in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country.
The long table is the oldest Italian dining tradition. One table. One party. One evening, shared from end to end. At Capriciano, our Long Table is a dedicated private dining space designed exactly for this — a single grand table where your whole group sits together, course after course, glass after glass, until the espresso comes. It is the perfect setting for milestone celebrations, family gatherings, corporate dinners, and any evening worth lingering over in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country.
What Makes The Long Table Special?
One Table, One Evening
Italian dining is built around the long table — a single, generous surface where food is passed, wine is poured, and conversation flows from one end to the other. Our Long Table at Capriciano takes this tradition seriously. The room is private, the lighting is warm, and the seating is designed for the entire party to share one evening together rather than splintering into smaller tables. The food comes family-style — antipasti to start, handmade pasta to share, mains plated to be passed — and the wine is poured generously. It is dining the way Italians have always understood it: communal, unhurried, and built around the table.

What to Expect at Your Table
An evening at The Long Table arrives the way an Italian evening should — with a beautifully set table, a glass of something to start, and a server who knows every course before it lands. We coordinate the menu and wine selections in advance and confirm dietary needs with you, so the meal flows without questions or interruptions. Courses come family-style, the wine is poured generously, and the table is yours for the duration. No rush, no shortcuts — just the slow pleasure of one long Italian evening.
Why Choose The Long Table?
The Italian Way of Dining
Italians have been eating around long tables for centuries — at weddings, at festivals, at Sunday dinners. The Long Table at Capriciano keeps this tradition alive in the heart of Santa Rosa. One table, one party, one evening of antipasti, pasta, wine, and conversation that does not end with the dessert plates.
Private, Personal, and Yours for the Evening
When you book The Long Table, the room is yours. There is no other party at the next table, no time pressure, no interruption. We design the menu around your group, walk you through the wine pairings, and stay close enough to pour but never close enough to interrupt. It is private dining the way it should feel — like being a guest in a great Italian friend’s home.
