Resorts’ classic Italian restaurant, Capriccio, has just introduced a new tapas menu. The term comes from Spain and refers to small plates served as appetizers, usually paired with wines and other spirits.

“We are looking for ways to enhance the guest experience here at Resorts,” explains Mark Sachais, vice president of hotel operations for Resorts. “Capriccio has been here at Resorts since the beginning and we are in the process of making it more fun and reasonably priced.”

The new tapas menu ranges in price from $12-$15. It is based on some popular Capriccio dishes, but adds a few twists including the Ossobuco Sliders with pickled onion and roasted peppers, Asparagi Parmigianino, lightly breaded sautéed asparagus topped with melted mozzarella and fresh tomatoes and Calamari Fritti, lightly coated crispy fried calamari with a pepperocinni butter sauce.

New additions including Grilled Margarita Pizza, Gnocchi Con Salsiccia E Rapini, Gnocchi with ground sausage, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers and mushrooms in garlic cream, Scampi Arrosta, Pesto marinated shrimp dusted in seasoned breadcrumbs oven roasted with lemon and Romano cheese, and Fried Meatballs with Provolone.

In addition to the new tapas menu, The Bar at Capriccio will now be featuring red and white wine flights ranging from $16 to $21, new wines by the glass and has added Italian beers Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Birra Moretti Premium Lager that can be paired with the new tapas menu.

Capriccio’s tapas menu is available at the bar during regular dining hours. Current winter hours are Thurs.–Sat., 6-11pm. The Bar at Capriccio also features music by pianist Lisa Tee Friday and Saturday nights.
