Caupona - Pompeii Restaurant In Pompei

During my Southern Tour, I skipped lunch reservations and went to this restaurant for lunch. The atmosphere and friendly staff were both wonderful, and the food was truly delicious. I had the vongole spaghetti, and the moment I took a bite, I exclaimed, "Mamma mia!" I'm writing this review right after I ate it.

For me and for last night at La Caponata, one of the most impressive things has been the service of Salvador and Augusto, impeccable! It was as if I stepped into a time machine. And I come from Cuba, where time has stopped, visiting this restaurant has been one of the wonderful experiences of my life. I absolutely recommend it!!! This is history and culture!

I was charmed by the setting, the staff is really kind and attentive. The decor adds a touch of charm. It's easy to park and the parking is free. The food was delicious; the full menu costs €55 without drinks. I was surprised to see that the website lists 5 old menus and 5 new menus, but only 3 old à la carte menus + the new à la carte dishes. A slight disappointment at first, but the dishes ordered were worth it and the price is reasonable. The dessert menu is really good; it's a shame the tiramisu isn't homemade. On a Sunday evening, outside, there were few people. I had made a reservation, but this time we would have had no problem getting a table. A must-do if you're looking for a restaurant in Pompeii because it's a nice experience and the food is good. Thanks again to the team (who also speak English).

Beautiful place, welcoming and professional, excellent gastronomic experience

We had a great meal. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed, with its Roman decor. The waiters were very friendly. We would definitely return.

A little pricy, however the atmosphere is great and the staff is Lovely.

A one-of-a-kind place, an experience you absolutely must try. I was there two years ago and it was a 5-star experience, but today the quality and attention to detail have slipped a bit. The high price is justified by the location and the Pompeii excavation area, but I find some choices unfair to the end consumer: a €3 cover charge, and at the beginning of lunch we found two loaves of bread (for five people) on the table that we didn't request, which we couldn't eat and so we asked for takeout. The unsolicited bread, which we asked for takeout, was never received, even after a second request, but was added to the receipt, apart from the cover charge. It's not about the €2-3 for bread, but the unkind gesture of charging for something we didn't request, outside of the cover charge. Otherwise, the atmosphere remains unique, Giovanni in particular is very friendly. Thank you 🙏

We ate very well and were greeted with kindness and professionalism, especially by Augusto and Salvatore. We'll definitely be back. The outfits are truly distinctive.

Ristorante unico nel suo genere, se visiti Pompei DEVI assolutamente andarci! Esperienza unica, immersi nella storia! Ambientazione eccellente, cibo ottimo ed esclusivo

Caupona non è solo un ristorante, è un’esperienza immersiva nell’antica Roma. L’atmosfera è semplicemente affascinante: luci soffuse, arredi storici e una cura dei dettagli che lascia senza parole. Il cibo è straordinario, ogni piatto è realizzato con attenzione e ha un gusto autentico, ricco, appagante. Il personale è stato impeccabile, cordiale e molto professionale. Un ringraziamento particolare a Giovanni, che ha reso la serata ancora più piacevole con la sua cortesia. Un luogo magico che consiglio vivamente a chiunque passi per Pompei. Ci tornerò sicuramente!
