Capricci Italian Food

Girls night out with Polo & ibanker.  Finally get to meet ibanker after she stood us up for few times.  I chose Capricci after my colleague recommended their Tiramisu.  Capricci is located at Tanjong Pagar road, amist the wedding gowns boutique. 

We were the 3rd table to arrive at 5mins to 1900Hr.  Polo asked" No one, would they close shop soon?!?!"
We were shown to a table next to their wine cellar, and were served promptly by the waiter.  The restaurant manager came over to serve us too, and upon seeing my camera, he said he wanted to take photo.  Shortly he disappeared, and came back with the chef- Luca!  He wanted a photo with Luca haha

Me & Luca.  The manager took the photo, and the girls were complaining that I did not trust them to take.  But then again, they were well known for taking blur photo, so i better outsourced to an outsider.
We chose the $39+++ set dinner promotion, that comes with a starter, main course and a dessert..No coffee! :-(  They should throw in the coffee, how much can a coffee cost?!
Complimentary bread basket.  You can taste lump of salt in the bread, too salty for our liking.  The texture of bread was nice and soft though, and still a bit warm (Even after i finished taking photo of it)
I chose the Parma ham and Rock melon as my starter. 
Breaded Scallop.  They mixed the scallop with something, and you could not really taste the whole scallop.
Beef Tenderloin.  Not bad, quite juicy.  Very tiny though haha
Grilled Seafood.  I could only try the fish, the rest are forbidden food.
Lamb Cutlet.  My choice of main.  Tender and no strong taste of lamb.  Portion a bit small, but great tatste.
Molten Lava Cake. Ibanker's choice of dessert.  Much better than Forlino as it was not that sweet.

Here it is:  STAR of the night.  Tiramisu!!!
It was really good, can taste the liquor in the cake.  Now, i need to think if it is better than Ristorante de Parma in Serangoon Garden.  Maybe I should try Ristorante de Parma again..heehee
side view:
They had Sassicaia Wine, but only by bottle..alas..no chance to try Franco's best wine in the world.
The restaurant got really busy, and by 1930Hr, it was packed!! So Polo's fear was unfounded.  Overall i will rate it 8/10 for the Tiramisu, main courses were above average, but no WOW factor.  Ambience wise, a bit small and busy for a romantic dinner, but nice enough for group outing.  Attentive servers and manager, and a cute chef too :-)  I think I will be back for the Tiramisu.
