La Capricciosa - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

The cozy Italian restaurant is just a few steps south on A1A and it is tucked into a small strip center. The restaurant specializes in pinsa style pizza which is a cloud-like, crispy dough. They also have a ton of Italian favorites and pasta dishesthat we want to come back and try. The atmosphere is welcoming, laid back, and comforting. If you?re hungry at the start, youcan order a side of the pinsa bread plain and can dip it in olive oil and cheese. We ordered the meat lover?s pinsa as well asthe Nduja pinsa. The meat lover?s is packed to the brim with high quality Italian meats nestled perfectly on that airy dough.They don?t add too many toppings which often ruin a good pizza. The Nduja was miraculous. It is layered with Stracciatellacheese that, when cooked, blankets the dough in a cream like sauce. This is topped with a spicy salami spread which reallybrings the heat. I rate it about 3 out 5 in terms of spiciness so be ready. The combination is highly recommended. The servicewas fantastic and you will want to have a return visit set up because you will fall in love with this place. 4.5/5 stars

This place is absolutely incredible. Been there twice and can?t speak more highly about Liz and her staff. Got the charcuterie board twice and it?s a must get. Went with the pizza one time and the pasta the other time both amazing. Great ambiance andgood prices. Love this place in case you couldn?t sense it.

5/19/22- Wow from when you pull into parking lot. They have impatience of all colors into this little patio they made out of their parking spots.They did such a nice job with the plants and the white lights very inviting. We sat inside I had been there before.We had the Mortadella pistachio Pinza. Oh my .so good there was a flavor we couldn’t recognize but the crunched up pistachios and the mortadella just really worked well together.I had the Chicken Milanese, large cutlet, with A small side of arugula salad with large slices of parmigiana Reggiano very nice they have their own olive oil and vinegar on the table and cute little bottles. George had the lasagna it was nice light fluffy. Then I’ve waited since two they couldn’t get the pistachios from Italy I finally got my pistachio ricotta cake it was so light in airy it was like a fluffiness in your mouth we took to home I’m sorry I didn’t take more. Everything we had was like a party in your mouth it was very good atmosphere food nice we’ll be back

I can't believe the few bad reviews. If you want geniue Italian food this is your go to place. I've been there 5 times in 2 weeks . Tried a wide variety of the menu and can't even pick my favorite. Best pizza I've had in FL in 20 years living here. Liz the owner will guide you the right direction for your specific tastes. Desserts are worth saving room for
