Norton Street has plenty of red-sauce nostalgia, but Capriccio Osteria skips the heavy slump with light wood-fired crusts and fresh handmade pasta. Regulars make a beeline for the wood oven’s Amalfi pizza—prawns, lemon, mascarpone, and chilli scattered over blistered dough. Bowls of squid ink spaghetti arrive tossed with blue swimmer crab, cooked firmly al dente, alongside pumpkin and ricotta ravioli bathed in hazelnut brown butter and crisp sage. When winter hits, floor staff shave fresh black truffles tableside across savory courses and dessert, best enjoyed lingering over a bottle of Chianti.
