A finalist in the Scottish Italian Awards 2015 and a neighbourhood fixture down Cadzow Street on the northern edge of Hamilton’s town centre, Il Capriccio is a must-visit destination for lovers of Italian cuisine and culture. While it’s the authentic Neapolitan-style pizza that has made Il Capriccio famous in Lanarkshire and over in Glasgow, this cosy cafe-restaurant is also ideal for a simple espresso (brewed from the finest imported Caffe Dokito blends) and a bite to eat. An affordable lunch menu keeps things rolling during the day, while the evening a la carte menu is packed with traditional classics. Look for the tricolored flag on the corner of Cadzow and Church Street, but be sure to book yourself a table to avoid disappointment – this local spot is a favourite.
