Il Papero d'Oro In Acerra

05/12/2024: Senza infamia e senza lode .non ostante settembre inoltrato locale affollato ma servizio velocissimo,qualità cibo bassa.

03/12/2024: After making friends with a local, who supported the same team as my husband (English football), he recommended Verginiello as a restaurant for us to try. We were travelling with my sister and brother-in-law, and like most seasoned travellers want to hang out with the locals, not the tourists. The restaurant is off the beaten track in Capri, and you can walk past it if you're not looking for it. It overlooks the sea, and is clearly a local restaurant. We were hungry and arrived at a non-Italian time (about 6.30 pm). By the time we left the place was filling fast, so if you prefer a late dinner take note. If you don't speak Italian, you should note that the wait staff don't speak English ... that's fair enough, we're in Italy after all. As a result of not speaking Italian, you can expect waved-down staff for help. The evening we dined, there was one staff member working who spoke a little, and he was needed due to my gluten intolerance. They can accommodate you with pasta and of course chicken, steak, and salad. I ordered a prawn pasta (GF) which arrived with four (4) pathetic prawns. My sister ordered the seafood pasta which looked like the entire ocean had jumped onto her plate. I was irritated that her dish was €20, and because mine wasn't on the menu and when the bill arrived, they must have made up the price because I was charged €38! For four piddly prawns. Talk about a mugging! My husband was over the moon with his €10 pizza covered in french fries ... it certainly looked better than my rip-off dish. And my brother-in-law enjoyed his steak (still mooing) and pizza (entree, small size). Would I dine here again? … maybe. But I'd be careful considering they like to pull prices out of thin air!
