(In the Peabody Orlando)
tel.: 407/345-4540
Location: In the Peabody Orlando
Cuisine: Italian
Price Category: Moderate

Like its upscale Peabody sister, Dux, Capriccio virtually ensures something different from visit to visit as its menu changes seasonally. The entrees might include bucatini tossed with chunks of mesquite-grilled chicken and mushrooms in a slightly garlicky white-wine/pesto sauce or pan-seared tuna with braised fennel and radicchio served with lentil flan and a buttery citrus sauce. Chefs in the exhibition kitchen also make pizzas and fresh breads in mesquite-burning ovens. There's an extensive wine list. The warm decor and the large amounts of natural wood in the dining room give the restaurant a somewhat refined atmosphere, although it's still more casual than Dux. Capriccio also serves a champagne Sunday brunch (leg of lamb, prime rib, you-peel shrimp, smoked salmon, mussels, crepes, eggs benedict, omelets, and unlimited champagne).

Main courses $18-$38 (most pizza and pasta dishes priced below $15); Sun champagne brunch buffet $35 adults, $15 children 5-12.Open: Tues-Sun 6:30-11pm; Sun brunch 11am-2pm.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.From I-4, take Exit 74A, Sand Lake Rd./Hwy. 528, east to International Dr., then south.
