History & More

  • Caprice opened its doors in downtown Redlands in 1988. Since then, the cafe has continually evolved, and now stands as a fine dining restaurant offering elegant indoor and patio seating. Caprice is known for having some of the finest cuisine in the Inland Empire.

  • Chris Pepino, Caprice’s former manager, bought the restaurant from Nabil Ayoub in 2013. Pepino, a musician and documentary filmmaker, began working at Caprice in 2002 to supplement his income. “I fell in love with the restaurant,” he said. “The food was so fantastic. I was really comfortable here. Then the opportunity came to take over.” He’s remodeled and added seven dishes, including Kurobuta pork belly (from highly prized Black Berkshire pigs), which is slow-braised with spiced apple chutney ($16).
