Caupona - Pompeii Restaurant In Pompei

29/03/2025: Excellent food and simply top notch service

28/03/2025: A culinary experience to remember, where the quality and attention to detail are worthy of a starred restaurant. From the organization to the courtesy of the staff, you immediately understand that we are in a place where every detail is taken care of with great attention. We started with two artisanal buns stuffed with beef burgers, to be enjoyed in one bite. The bread was incredibly soft, while the burger together with the broccoli rabe was a real pleasure, simple without being banal. The buns arrived together with the tartare with balsamic vinegar and berry caviar, a unique combination of both flavors and textures. The two courses arrived very quickly, despite the turnout, and the service was always quick and efficient. The star dish of the dinner, however, was the black angus in wet rub with pumpkin puree. The meat, very tender and melting in the mouth, married perfectly with the pumpkin puree underneath, creating an extraordinary balance of flavors and consistencies. Any comment about how good the meat was would be obvious, the real strength of this restaurant is undoubtedly the use of raw materials of the highest quality, which is reflected in every dish. Even the tomato butter, served with bread and breadsticks, did its part. All this was accompanied by an excellent primitivo. Finally, we cannot but thank Massimo for accompanying us during the evening! His friendliness, the much appreciated advice on the menu and the impeccable attention to detail made the experience even better.
