THE CAPRICIANO KITCHEN
The Italian Table,
Done Right.
Good Italian cooking has always been about patience. The pasta rolled by hand. The sauce that simmers while the room fills up. The wine poured without rushing anyone. At Capriciano, that is exactly the kind of evening we are built for – Italian in its bones, Californian in its ingredients, and completely at home in the heart of Santa Rosa’s wine country.
THE EXPERIENCE
From the Sea to Your Table
At Capriciano, Italian cooking — handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and fresh seafood — is at the heart of everything we do. We bring the rhythm and warmth of the Italian coast to downtown Santa Rosa, with an Italian-led wine list and Sonoma poured beside it, Italian and California beers, wine-based aperitivi and private dinners for up to 89 guests. Together, they make an evening worth remembering.

WHY CAPRICIANO
Our Commitment to an Exceptional Evening
We pair Chef Baki’s fine-dining training with the warmth of an Italian osteria. You’re not just a table here — you’re a guest in a kitchen that cares deeply about what lands in front of you.
We source fresh seafood daily, make our pasta in-house, and fire everything to order. Corkage is $25 per bottle if you’d like to bring a wine from your own cellar.

Notes from the Osteria
Do I need a reservation?
Walk-ins are welcome when we have a table, and we’ll do our best to seat you. We recommend reserving — especially on weekends, for parties of four or more and for special occasions. Book on OpenTable through our website, or call us at (707) 800-7904.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes — please tell us about any allergy or dietary need when you book, and again to your server before you order; your server will check with the kitchen. Gluten-free and vegan pasta are available on request. Our kitchen is shared, so we can’t guarantee that any dish is allergen-free. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. More in our Allergen & Dietary Notice.
What is your corkage policy?
You’re welcome to bring a bottle from your own cellar. Our corkage fee is $25 per bottle, with a maximum of 3 bottles per table. The fee is waived for each bottle you purchase from our wine list — so if you bring two and buy one from us, one of your bottles is complimentary. We ask that wines brought in are not already featured on our list.
Do you host private events and group dinners?
Yes — and it’s something we love doing. Capriciano accommodates up to 50 guests for standard indoor dining, up to 89 for full private buyouts, and up to 50 guests on our al fresco terrace. We host birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and holiday parties. For groups of 5 or more, a 20% gratuity is included. To inquire about a private event, reach out directly at hi@capriciano.com or call (707) 800-7904 — our team will walk you through the options.
