Al Gelso D'Oro da Nonna Sceppa — Restaurant in Capaccio Paestum

It is a traditional Italian restaurant with a rich variety of dishes. I went there for lunch two days in a row. POSiTIVES: The restaurant has an open-air terrace. I was lucky as the weather was great to have lunch outside. To my observation, the restaurant is highly popular by locals.

Our table was too small to order a whole fish but watch the tables that did was really spectacular. We had a very picky food person with us who absolutely loved the raviolis. Meanwhile we were able to enjoy a seafood pasta and dish. Both were so fresh and super flavorful. The service was as attentive as possible considering how crowded it was. The staff made a point to come over and check on us despite managing several large tables with lots of kiddos running around. It was also so nice to see how kid friendly and accommodating...
