Capriccio — Restaurant in Municipality of Northern Corfu

Based on the reviews, we went for what we hoped would be reliably good food, particularly the seafood risotto. We were met at the door by a waiter with a strained smile who clearly had no interest in serving us. Our order was two tomato soups, seafood risotto, beef stifado, tzatziki, and a glass of house wine each.

The soups resembled a Chinese-style version (with starch) but were edible. The risotto was absolutely not a risotto! It was more like a rice porridge with decent seafood. Having eaten and cooked risotto many times, including in Italy, I can confirm this was not it. The stifado was flavorful, but serving it with bland rice and french fries on the same plate missed the mark for me. Sorry, but this is bistro-grade stuff; such combinations don't belong in a restaurant. The large portions, padded out with fries and tasteless rice, won't appeal to everyone. The tzatziki was the worst I've tried in Greece.

The total came to 60 euros – not overpriced, but not a good value for the quality. The service was virtually non-existent. I can't recommend it and have no intention...

Capriccio is one of the best places we’ve eaten at in Corfu. The food is absolutely delicious, full of real flavor, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, creating the perfect setting for a slow, enjoyable meal. Prices are fair and fully justified by the quality.

Highlights from our visit: • Pork chops - juicy, flavorful, perfectly grilled • Seafood pasta - rich and balanced, with fresh seafood • Tzatziki - very good, smooth and well-balanced. We’d rate it 9 out of 10, possibly 10 if you don’t prefer an extra garlic kick • Portokalopita (orange pie) - fresh, sweet, and light. A perfect finish.

Minor downside: the Greek salad didn’t come with olive oil added. You had to use the bottle from the table, which I’m personally not a fan of.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re...

Great location, beautiful view. The restaurant is clean and usually pretty busy. We decided to try it but we're disappointed. My first clue that i wasn't going to be thrilled was the olive oil. I asked for oil with the bread to dip it. They brought out some kind of blend or maybe just vegetable oil. It was terrible. Suffice to say it ruined the salad. A good quality olive oil is greenish in color and has a rich taste.

The moussaka is not made with traditional spices. It had cumin in it and tomato sauce over the top. That is NOT true, moussaka. It was served with French fries, but not the true, fresh cut potatoes. I guess I'm used to better quality.

All in all, I would not recommend it. Great for a drink or...
