Ristorante da Nonna Sceppa In Capaccio

The fish menu is missing a grilled dish.

The scorpionfish pacchero is something remarkable, congratulations!

Delicious meals on the terrace; this restaurant is one of the best in the area. There are plenty of tables, well-spaced, and the furniture has been completely replaced recently. Cloth tablecloths and excellent service, with a warm welcome from the owner. The dishes are very well prepared, and we have never been disappointed. The desserts, especially the zuppeta and the lemon delight, are exquisite—you'll want to save room! The only downside is that it can get quite hot on the terrace at times, as there is no indoor seating or air conditioning. It's best to go when it's not too scorching at midday, or in the evening.

Nonna Sceppa: Forty Years of Flavors, Memories, and Enduring Love Writing a review of Nonna Sceppa today is not easy. We've been enjoying this restaurant for about forty years, and over time, we've had the privilege of getting to know Raffaele and Luigi, two brothers who were much more than just restaurateurs: they were the soul, the face, and the warmth of this place. Both passed away prematurely. Raffaele a few years ago, Luigi just a few months ago. Returning this evening, after some time, and no longer finding Luigi was not easy, just as it wasn't when Raffaele passed away. Some people become part of the places we frequent, and when they're gone, even those places suddenly seem different. Nonna Sceppa is the result of a true family story, starting with a simple trattoria run by their grandmother, hence the name, and then growing thanks to the work of their brothers in the dining room and their sisters in the kitchen. A story of sacrifice, passion, continuity, and respect for its roots. And this is precisely what we were pleased to rediscover: the same restaurant as always. Luigi's son is welcoming guests today, while the legendary Luigino, nephew of the two brothers and son of one of the sisters working in the kitchen, continues to move around the dining room with his usual energy. The dining room was full, as was the splendid terrace. The service remains fast, attentive, and well-organized. But what continues to amaze is Luigino himself, who possesses a rare gift, certainly natural but fueled by a genuine passion for his work: he remembers, even after years, the tastes and favorite dishes of his loyal customers. He is disarmingly kind, friendly, and helpful. Trusting him with the selection of dishes continues to be a guarantee. Regarding the cuisine, we can only confirm the positive assessment we've always expressed: quality, tradition, authenticity, and that ability to keep customers coming back, which, in the end, is the truest proof of a restaurant's value. And the many loyal customers present every evening are the clearest testimony to this. But this time, more than usual, we left with a different feeling. We found the same quality as always, the same welcome, the same atmosphere. And, together, we felt the strong presence of those who are no longer with us. Raffaele and Luigi are missed. They are missed humanly, even more than professionally. But the most beautiful thing is seeing that what they built lives on in their family, in their children, in their grandchildren, in the cuisine, and in their way of welcoming people. Perhaps this is the truest meaning of a great family history: being able to move forward without forgetting those who made it possible. Nonna Sceppa remains a certainty. Today, for us, she is also a place of memory and affection.

Each dish is prepared with care and simplicity. The quality is exceptional: exceptional ingredients, which you can taste in every single dish, and excellent service. A top-notch restaurant.

Welcoming atmosphere, quick service and excellent and plentiful food

In 2026, it is unacceptable for a venue to not accept dogs, and have a large outdoor area.

A benchmark for Cilento dining, and rightly so! The restaurant is elegant and formal, a setting that complements the attentive and professional service, which also includes spectacular displays such as the live preparation of the granita. Getting to the heart of the experience, which in my case coincided with a quick seafood lunch break, there were virtually no flaws. From the tomato sauce ravioli to the tuna Genovese, to the zucchini pasta dish, the experience provided us with exquisite flavors, enhanced by carefully crafted and inviting plating. The main courses (mussel sauté and mixed fried fish) and desserts also set the bar high, if not raised: I will long remember the deliciousness of the lemon delight and the double cannoli with buffalo ricotta. Overall, a place that makes you feel good before and after the meal, but which is enhanced during with apparently simple but highly skilled and refined cuisine.

Number one in everything, the best, they make no mistakes about anything.

I've been to this restaurant several times: the food, especially the fish, is good and fresh. The service is friendly, but the prices are a bit high. We had the seafood salad (good, but the one I had before had thinly sliced ​​octopus and was even better) and the mussel soup (good). I remembered it as a 5-star restaurant, though. We'll try again.
