We've been to Cappuccio twice in three days. The welcome felt like home. The menu is basic but well-stocked. The wine selection is very intriguing. In a week in Sicily, I can say that Capuccio is among my top three meals twice! Thanks to everyone! PS. A small tip that doesn't detract from my review because it's a detail of beauty, not of quality or freshness. Your dishes, presented in a beautiful bowl or on a nice plate, would take everything to another level! Congratulations again!
Great fresh fish options (burger, meatballs, ceviche) out of the box and at good prices! Try it! Ottimi piatti di pesce ad un prezzo amico!
Had a wonderful meal here, and they speak good English, which is helpful as a Dutch Italian novice. The host is friendly and the food is good. They also play great music!

I had a pretty good swordfish burger. The staff wasn't friendly. You say goodbye in their own language and they don't respond. The prices are exaggerated for the relatively small quantities.
Very tasty dishes, fresh and local fish.
We were looking for a lunch spot for something fresh and light. The bruchetta was topped with a spiced anchovy layer. Outside our comfort zone but dug in and wow! Amazing flavors and taste. Ceviche and fish sandwich were excellent. The manager was engaging, spoke great English, and is a music fan. He was playing a band I haven't heard of: Ghost Woman. A new favorite. Thanks to you for a great experience.
A superb experience: local and freshly caught fish, ideally located restaurant (near the market). The swordfish burger was delicious, the polpo salad was fresh, and the ricotta with bottarga was a wonderful taste discovery. +1 point for the adorable server, who took the time to e…More reviews
A superb experience: local and freshly caught fish, ideally located restaurant (near the market). The swordfish burger was delicious, the polpo salad was fresh, and the ricotta with bottarga was a wonderful taste discovery. +1 point for the adorable server, who took the time to explain the subtleties of the region's flavors and their menu (prepared with love and delicacy, you can feel it on your taste buds). They also serve natural wine and fair-trade coffee... a paradise for our 19th-century hipster friends 🫶
Most authentic Sicilian food you can possibly find with incredible service and wine knowledge to match. This is a restaurant looking for authentic cuisine and beautiful service.
Excellent products, fresh fish, and good wines too. Friendly staff, ready to offer advice. Beautiful place, highly recommended.
