Il Capriccio Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Higüey

Arrived 30 minutes early, our mistake! Accommodated and taken to the table!

Got given water and choice of drinks, had a nice white wine.

Waiter arrived to take the order, didn't realise the menu was on the QR tab on the table, so obviously not ready. Only gripe really, wish we'd have been told, but not to worry, had the wine topped up and chose what we wanted.

Had a good range of food across the 4 of us, absolutely no complaints! All very tasty!

I had the Carpaccio, soup, arribiata pasta with chicken.

Not a raw meat fan, just saw beef and had 1 too many rums! Tasted amazing, so if it's your thing go for it! Texture wise, it had a texture of raw meat. Absolutely no complaints about it at all, very nice, just not for me. I can be funny with mushrooms at times, it's just a texture thing.

Main of arribiata with chicken was delicious, gave the family a taste, all said that's what they're having next time, so I guess we'll be going again with no objections from me! It's on the list for the final night meal, which is a big thing... Well for us anyway!

The staff were amazing, very friendly, funny and engaging. Tried to offer us 2nd dessert which we politely turned away, but lovely staff!

Got one pic of the food to prove I ate raw beef... If its your thing, you'll enjoy.

Seen a few negative reviews about this place, but absolutely fantastic! Will be back with additional reviews...

Uh, well. Where do I begin? The food was okay, but I wouldn't really know. Everything with red sauce and dark meat was cooked with cilantro, and I can't eat cilantro. After several back and forth and frustration from the staff over me asking which menu items did not have cilantro, I was eventually served penne with a bland white sauce. It was fine. A member of my party waited about twice as long for her food. We asked several times for champagne and when it came it spilled on my friend and after clean up, no champagne, and she continued sitting under the wet table cloth. I wouldn't say it was unbearable, but between subpar food and subpar wait staff it was an experience I'd rather not go back and retry.

Adding more information after talking to my group: the lasagna was nearly sauce less and runny, the seafood was bland, and the margherita pizza was mostly cheese cheese pizza and also, nearly sauceless. After we left the manager came outside and asked us about the experience. When we said honestly the food wasn't great and the wait staff experience wasn't pleasant, she said (at least with some empathy) oh okay, and then we left without any further comment....

This place was the biggest let down of our three reserved dinners. The service here is awful, not even mediocre it’s just plain out right terrible. We didn’t get offered the “welcome cocktail” that is on the menu, they took 20 minutes just to offer us a drink and had to ask for our small appetizer, then after about 30-40 minutes we got to place our order for food after waving down to people saying we’ve been waiting forever to eat. The food began to come out fast eventually, but the refilling of drinks in a half packed restaurant was poor. There must be little to no AC in there so be ready to sweat especially while eating some of those warm meals like the soup. The food was delicious but the service and heat really ruined enjoying this dinner experience, not sure if I’d choose...
