We had dinner here on Mother's Day. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was great. I especially enjoyed the gentleman walking throughout the restaurant singing and playing the guitar....very nice touch. They are only open in the evenings, starting @ 5 p.m. The food is certainly tasty...not the best italian food I've ever had...some dishes were overly salty.... More

The menu states "creamy" Caesar dressing, Italian dressing, and all Alfredo entrees. There is no cream to be found. All are swimming in oil. The bartender does not know the difference between a wet or a dry martini. After two tries, gave up. Owner argued when dissatifaction was expressed. More

Went to Capisce on a recomendation from the hotel we stayed at. Somethomes you never know when someone suggests a restaurant. In this case, it was fantastic! We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated promptly. They serve you delicous warm rosemary flavored bread at your table. Enough to fill you up. We all had pasta dishes. All... More

The atomsphere is great. The food is great. The service a little slow. The waiter was more interested in talking about his skiing trips than servicing his tables. More

This is our second time here and we found the food flavorless. Spicy evidently means oily and xtra lemon. I had linguini and clams with about 8 tiny clams The margarita pizza was like store bought dough and not a traditional margarita. It had pesto on it!! The noise level is very high and nothing to absorb the sound. Mediocre... More

I like to rave about great dining experiences and I really hate to discuss the really bad ones...but, the bad experiences need to be told, even if I feel horrible doing so. It was our last night in Tahoe and we wanted to find an Italian restaurant to try. We had done great with all the other restaurants we'd eaten... More

Capisce is a great local restaurant with an awesome bar. The menu is Italian, with some local modifications, their house soup is incredible, their veal dishes wonderful. They are always willing to modify a dish to suit your tastes, so don't hesitate to ask. I even told the staff I longed for steamed mussels, and though they are not on... More

I have visited this restaurant several times with my husband and with friends. It has a wonderful casual, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. The Italian cuisine is simple and delicious with just enough flair to make it interesting while keeping the price at a reasonable level. The veal dishes, in... More

We were sat right away, right next to the fireplace and the great time started right away. Loved the Caesar Chicken dish, not a salad, it was to die for. Hubby got the homemade ravioli and thought it was fantastic! Brian, the owner's son waiting on us and he was great. His dad came over not after we arrived and... More

Everyone at Capisce were so friendly, from the owners to the host. The food was soooo good. Everyone at our table really enjoyed all of the food we ate. If we could have ate there every night of our trip, we would have. What made our experience more enjoyable was George, the guitarist, who played beautiful music for everyone. We... More
