Tentazione Ristorante (Boynton Beach)
***** Tentazione Ristorante, 141 North Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida 33426 (561) 731-2627.
Got a small, but very good-reasonably priced Italian joint for you…Tentazione Ristorante in Boynton Beach. Maybe, the joint has 15 tables and you can see the kitchen from every seat.
Unlike the “mom & pop” chains that dot the South Florida landscape… this joint doesn’t have you eating in a trellis…Tentazione is a narrow restaurant, with a handful of paintings on the wall and just “regular” tables & chairs. Real casual, so tee shirts and shorts are just fine.
As for the food…very good. As for service…very good. A recent outing found me “sampling” penne alla vodka, fetuccine alfredo, chicken parmigiana, bistecca parmigiana, pizza (nice, thin crust) and lasagna…all at neighborhood pizza joint prices.
Tentazione’s menu of appetizers, soups, salads, pastas, pizzas and seafood/chicken/meat entrees isn’t gigantic, but you will definitely find something to stuff your face with. If you live in the neighborhood, you now know about a very good joint…Tentazione is open Monday-Friday 11:30am-10pm and Saturday 4:30pm-10pm.
Not sure that this is the appropriate place to be asking this question.
My husband and I will spending February in Delray Beach.
We love coal fired pizza.
What is your best call on coal fired pizza in the Delray Beach area? We will also drive if there really is a great one.

See my writeup on Carolina’s (Italian) on May 27,2009.
Absolutely dynamite coal oven pizza.

Hey Jeff, I agree with your comments. One of the best Italian resturants in South Florida and I have been here for 30 years
jeff. THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING, THE SERVICE JUST AS OUTSTANDING A LOVELY WAITRESS.THIS ONE IS A WINNER.NOW FOR SUMMER THEY HAVE REDUCED THERE PRICES,INCLUDES SALAD OR SOUP,DELIOUS ITALIAN BREAD WITH PESTO DIP. I HAD TORTELLINI SOUP, LITE CHICKEN BROTH WITH JULIENNE VEGS. OUTSTANDING.I HAD LINGUINE CON VONOLE MADE LIKE UP NORTH THE RIGHT WAY,WHOLE CLAIMS,WHITE WINE ,CLAM BROTH,OLIVE OIL,GARLIC&PARSLEY.I DIPPED MY BREAD TO CLEAN THE BOWL.MY WIFE HAD FUITTI DI MARE 19.50.UNBELIVABLE DISH MADE WITH A LIGHT RED SAUCE,CLAIMS,MUSSELS,SHRIMP,SCALLOPS,CALAMARI,GARLIC. YOU CAN TASTE THE SEAFOOD IT IS NOT DROWNED IN A HEAVY SAUCE AND IS FRESH. FANTASTIC FOOD OUTSTANDING BARGIN FOR WHAT THEY CHARGED.
JEFF, IT IS A SHAME THAT THESE OUTSTANDING RESTAURANTS HAVE TO STRUGGLE,WITH THE SNOW BIRDS GONE AND THE ECONOMY IN THE TANK WE LOOSE TO MANY GOOD ONES.
A year or so ago there was a GREAT Italian restaurant in Boynton Beach named “SOPRANO’S…they either moved or went out of business…can you shed any light on this one?Their food was fantastic!!!
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me.
Tentazione is now Capriccio. Same chefs and manager. I think this is the best place to eat in Boynton. It’s depressing to me that I can’t get enough people to review it for Zagat. One of my favorite menu items from Tentazioni–faggotioni (little pasta purses)–is no longer on the menu, but they make it for me if I request. Boynton is really lucky to have this place. Support it!
