Directions & Parking

Getting Here

Il Capriccio is easily located at 704 Main Street in Waltham, in The Merc building at the corner of Moody & Main.

From the Mass Pike: take Exit 14 from the West or Exit 15 from the East, merge onto I-95 / Route 128 North, then continue directions below.

From I-95 / Route 128: take Exit 26 to Route 20 East toward Waltham. Follow Route 20 until it turns into Main Street. After 0.6 of a mile, we are on the right, after passing the Post Office and Korean New Light Church. Turn into The Merc parking lot by the green awnings of Citizens Bank. Please note: there is no rear entrance to the restaurant on the parking-lot side, so parking at the far end is a shorter stroll around to the front.

Parking Options

First, try our 92-space parking lot behind the restaurant in The Merc residential complex, the entrance to which is on the corner of Citizens Bank. There is also parking on Main Street, as well as on Charles Street, which is one-way at the rear of The Merc complex. Another convenient option is the adjacent Market Place Garage.

If you exit The Merc parking lot at the rear, onto Charles Street, then turn left on Moody Street, you can cross directly over Main Street (which otherwise is a no-left-turn from Main) onto Common Street; the garage is a hundred yards down on the right, and 200yds from Il Capriccio.
