About Us:

Caprice is a refined, Coastal Italian destination that leans into an Amalfi coast aesthetic. It is designed to feel sophisticated yet approachable, serving as a high-end space for both special occasions and frequent dining. Bar Grotta is the moody, "underground" counterpart to Caprice. Located downstairs, this is an intimate lounge built with stone walls to evoke the feeling of a natural hidden European grotto.
