Il Cupolone In Pavia

A stone's throw from Pavia Cathedral, a welcoming place with excellent cuisine.

The atmosphere is welcoming and elegant; the staff is kind and discreetly efficient. The cuisine is good.

Really great food, but terrible service! The food is indeed very good. They also have local specialties on the menu. The prices are reasonable. We didn't receive the large portions mentioned in other reviews. The service was extremely poor. The server kept walking past our table empty-handed. To order, we eventually had to literally wave them over. After we ordered, bread arrived after a while, in a broken bowl that no one needed. The drinks didn't arrive for a good 10 minutes. After the meal, we sat for a full half hour in front of our empty plates. No one asked if we wanted anything else. No one cleared the table. At some point, we put our empty plates on the next table. No reaction. Other empty tables were cleared, which no one needed at that time (the restaurant was already half empty). At times, we didn't even see the servers, even though there were four people working there. Completely disorganized. My menu included a dessert, which of course I never received. After more than half an hour, we were fed up.

Excellent cocktails, varied and abundant aperitif menu, friendly staff

Very good. We ate there for lunch. There was a bit of a wait to be seated, but it was more than reasonable. The wait for service was also reasonable. The risotto with saffron and ossobuco was excellent!

Don't miss the appetizer platter...the desserts are good. Nice atmosphere!

Both the appetizer and the gnocchi were delicious! We found the prices to be in line with what they offer. Friendly staff and fast service. Recommended.

The wait for a risotto was unacceptable 😤, an hour is too long! I hope it was an isolated incident. The atmosphere is very beautiful and quaint ✨, truly welcoming. The food was tasty 😋, but the service ruined the experience 👎.

Nice restaurant, good risotto. Prices aren't exactly cheap.

Rustic tavern in the center of Pavia, daily menu offering a choice of 3 starters, 3 first courses, and 3 second courses (seeing social media I was expecting a set menu, but it wasn't available today), good dishes, but without the wow factor, decent service, slightly expensive prices in my opinion (1 shared starter, 2 first courses, 2 coffees, 1 water, €60).
