Café Capriccio

"Everything was fantastic with the exception of being put in a back room alone. I was dining by myself and was seated in a back room where another single diner was just finishing his meal. It was later in the evening & other tables were available in the main dining areas. There was no atmosphere to review."

"Very double minded writing this review as it was a very weird experience... I'll start with the good, the food taste was great. The appetizers, my entrée and desserts were amazing! BUT there was a huge issue... While sitting in one of the booths, we were also sharing the table with a mouse. This mouse decided to show up at my shoulder level just after our appetizers had been served. I quickly jumped out of the booth and alerted the staff who were quick to react. They captured and disposed of the mouse and informed us that they were going to comp our whole meal. So while the food was great, the atmosphere was far from it. So take that into consideration when visiting. Photo of said mouse is attached due to the quick thinking and photography of my coworker."

"The food and ambience was good. Food tasted authentic. We ordered mushroom meatballs which was quite delicious and sauce was really fresh and the hero ingredient was basil. The pesto shrimp pasta was okay. Tomato garlic cream pasta was good in taste and had nice thick and creamy sauce. What was strange about this place is we saw two rats playing in a table near by which freaked us out initially and it also looked like they definitely have more. Last but not the list our experience was good until we left the place and suddenly one of the server chased us outside and asked for more tip rudely which was not acceptable and it ruined my date night."

"Incredible Italian spot in Albany - just don’t be surprised when the street it’s on reminds you of The Wire. The Risotto was to die for. Home made ravioli excellent. Cod with capers and side of risotto was also delicious. Worth sharing entrees so you can try more dishes. Pistachio cake and cheese cake desserts were amazing. The food is incredible. Wine is over priced a bit. Homey atmosphere really makes this place special. A must visit in Albany!"
