So I’m watching the tube on that most glorious of television nights (Monday), and during How I Met Your Mother (which was excellent, for once) I notice a familiar place. In the episode, Ted wants to take the girl he asked out on an elevator to “a restaurant - a nice one” and when they cut to the scene of them on their date they use this image as the location shot. The show takes place in NYC and is shot in L.A., but Capriccio is actually in Providence. And it’s one of the best restaurants at which I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining. The inside scenes are clearly not the real restaurant, which would be an absolute nightmare to light for television even if they wanted to cross the country to shoot there.
