Capricciosa Pizza & Pasta Restaurant @ Sunway Pyramid

I thought I had blogged bout this few weeks back but I can't seemed to locate the post. Darn~! Am I getting old? Nevertheless, here I am again writing the same post one more time. But since this place does give me a good time while I visited it last time, so it's a pleasure writing bout it again now. The place is called Capricciosa which is located over at Sunway Pyramid new wing. It's next to Old Town inside Jusco. I was actually looking for some pasta lunch with babe when I came across this place Browsed through their menu and found that the pricing are really reasonable. And the rest is history as they say. 

Google up the place and found out that it's actually the No. 1 Italian food craze made famous over at Japan since 1978. Wow, that is even older than me. Hence, I saw a lot of Japanese chef pictures inside the restaurant. Seemed like Japanese people really go crazy for their pasta and pizzas it seemed. Was browsing through their menu which fill with a lot of choices to choose from. Decided what we gonna had and straight with the ordering. 

As always, babe ordered her hot cappuccino which isn't that bad. 

For starter, I had decided that we should warm up our tummy with some nice warm soup. The Italian vegetable & meat soup seemed to be a recommended one. And truly it is. Firstly we were taken aback with the size of the bowl. My gosh, for the price that we're paying this was humongous. You can even share the bowl of soup with your friend. 

As you can see, the soup is filled with ingredients inside. It's savory blend of mixed vegetables with fresh cream and their own specially made sauce. Trust me, this taste better than it looks. I don't often praise any other soup this much but this is hell of a good soup. And dirt cheap too. 

This goes the same as my Clam Chowder. And I had to say this is one of the best Clam Chowder I had to date. And I found out that not much restaurant serve this kind of soup too.

Again, the soup is filled with surprises. OK, not bad surprises but good ones. Plenty of seafood in it like clams and mussels and vegetables too. Thick and creamy just the way I like it. $7.90 for this bowl is definitely a steal. Totally worth every dime. 

OK, now for the main course. I had ordered their Carbonara since it's available in their menu. Can't really change the pasta if I remembered correctly. But I am alright with Spaghetti. Again, the main attraction here is their portion again. When the pasta was served in front of me, I was thinking, this is too small for me. But when I spread it open using my fork, I was really surprised with the generosity from them. Damn, it's so large that I barely managed to finished it. Yes, you heard me right. And more over it's good. Well not the best I had but definitely worth your money. Not too creamy but alright. A bit on the salty side maybe due to the extremely high amount of cheese I added. 

Babe, finally decided with this tomato based pasta with garlic and peppers. And when they said peppers they do give you the truck load. And again, the portion is so damn much. I don't normally said this but this place really are so darn generous on their pasta. For the price that they are charging this is definitely worth every penny of it. For those who like black pepper, this is your plate of pasta. But again a bit salty for me. 


Overall, I had no complain on their food except that they could be a bit gentle on the salt. Definitely need to order their soup if you are there. Worth your money and you can even share the soup with your friend. Trust me when I said the bowl is BIG. Even the spoon is not those ordinary ones. They are served with some big ones too. Service is superb and the staffs are definitely friendly. I had ordered their bottomless soft drinks. Yes, they have that too which is really good. I accidentally knocked off my glass and they were so nice and quickly replaced my drink and clean the table up. Even their foreign workers are friendlier and always there's a smile on their face. Good Good Place for lunch : )
