Dolci & Capricci In Rende

I dined a few nights ago at a small restaurant in the historic center, drawn by the rave reviews and the atmosphere that promised tradition and creativity. The entrance was welcoming, with warm lighting and solid wood tables; the ambiance, meticulously maintained, managed to be elegant without being overly formal. The staff immediately proved friendly and knowledgeable, ready to expertly recommend dishes and pairings. I began with a seasonal appetizer, beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. The flavors were balanced; each component of the dish had its own precise meaning and contributed to a harmonious result. The first course was the true star of the evening: homemade pasta, impeccably cooked, and a rich yet not heavy sauce. The second course also did not disappoint, with tender meat and carefully selected accompaniments. Also noteworthy is the wine list, varied and well-chosen, capable of satisfying both those seeking important labels and those who prefer to discover smaller wineries. Dessert concluded the dinner excellently, with a creative yet traditional dessert, just the right amount of sweet and never cloying. Overall, considering the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the refined atmosphere, I can say that the place was brutal.

They're always very kind. The food is good and the service is excellent. I give them 5 stars for everything. Top

As usual, it never disappoints. Tasty aperitif and a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff. For years, I've been going there during the Christmas season to celebrate Christmas Eve with a good aperitif. And this May Day, I went to my beloved place again. I drank a wonderful Cosmopolitan and enjoyed a fabulous aperitif with lasagna. You are the best💯 I confirm what I said. For a quiet evening with my husband, I always choose this place because the food is delicious and the staff is exceptionally kind. The aperitif is the best and the iced coffee is no less, so much so that I choose them for breakfast on Saturdays too 😜❤️

The kindness and friendliness of the staff complement a delicious, tasty, and plentiful aperitif.

A welcoming place where I gladly return every time I'm in Rende. The dishes are always tasty and well-prepared; of all the dishes, the rigatoni alla Giancaleone remains my favorite. The staff, always smiling and friendly, contributes to the very pleasant atmosphere.

Everything was delicious and the service was fast.
