Ristorante Scapricciatiello — Restaurant in Pozzuoli

They know how to cook. For every dish I got every single one had the proper texture.

The polpette was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The stuffed zucchini flowers was fried nicely without burning the flower. The cuttlefish with eggplant was soft. The ravioli calamaro pistachio pesto was also good.

It would have been 5 stars for me but their expertise in cooking food wasn’t enough and that’s because of volume.

The polpette would have been perfect for me if it had enough sauce, the flavor was there but by the time I finished the 3rd out of 5 pieces I was budgeting the remainder sauce.

Same thing with the cuttlefish with eggplant, the texture was there, but the balsamic was not enough to make a difference. A little bit of salt would help too. The dish would have been perfect if it just had more flavor. I think they were going for simplicity but it was too simple.

I would come back and try their other dishes but if I get the same ones I would probably request more sauce.

On the other hand, there was too much pistachio on top of the ravioli. I wish there were more of the sauce than the solid pieces of pistachio. The amount of calamaro and doneness of the ravioli was the right amount for me though.

Overall, the price is a bit higher probably due to the location. It is nice to eat in a pretty park in front of protected ruins. They were busy on a Tuesday night which shows they have a reputation for being a good restaurant.

Too busy in my opinion to take 15min to get the bill. Perhaps they need more servers since the 2 very kind ladies were always running around serving people to their best ability.

Although, special thank you to the wonderful lady who set up a table for me when there weren’t...

Ristorante discreto con piatti discreti. Eravamo in quattro e abbiamo preso soltanto 4antipasti e un secondo (calamaro alla griglia) per un totale di 115€. Per una cena a base unicamente di antipasti il prezzo mi sembra esorbitante manco fosse un ristorante gourmet. Per cui sono rimasta amareggiata e non penso di tornarci.

Visto che lei risponde ad una recensione con tanta supponenza e poca riflessione mi vedo costretta a replicare: gli antipasti erano sicuramente composti da 12 portate ma erano assaggini, (le bruschette erano 4 mini porzioni di pane non bruschette normali, il baccalà al limone e le portate di polpo erano insufficienti per 4 persone tanto che è stato difficile ricavare 1 cucchiaio a testa; per quanto riguarda la freschezza dei prodotti i gamberetti non mi sono sembrati molto freschi, erano molli, se fossero stati freschi avrebbero dovuto essere più tonici. Ovviamente queste considerazioni sono in relazione al prezzo di 22euro di antipasto cadauno, prezzo troppo alto rispetto alla qualità e al contenuto dell'antipasto, se il prezzo fosse stato consono rispetto ai prodotti offerti non avrei avuto nulla da ridere. Le dico, non è il primo ristorante in cui vado a mangiare e le assicuro che lei ha prezzi troppo alti rispetto al livello del suo ristorante. Inoltre può dire quello che vuole ma pagare 115euro in 4 per avere mangiato solo antipasti mi sembra un esagerazione. Le faccio un ultima riflessione il cliente quando sceglie un ristorante nella media si aspetta che il conto sia nella media. Se avessi avuto intenzione di spendere tanto avrei scelto un altro genere di ristorante. Spero che anziché prendere queste osservazioni sul personale lei cerchi piuttosto di considerarle come un opportunità per migliorare....

My husband and I shared the selection of antipasti and were pleasantly surprised by 11 delicious small plates. Quite a deal for €20 each person we both thought. Not shown are a tomato bruschetta each. The shrimp wrapped with bacon was perfectly grilled and tender. Fried fish was perfect. He had a light touch with salt which was welcome. we really enjoyed every dish and the friendly service too. The recommended white wine was good and...
