My husband and I had a fantastic evening at Capuli in Westport. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and while we had a reservation, it wasn't crowded when we arrived. It felt like many of the diners were regulars, which is always a great sign. The service was excellent--super attentive and accommodating. As we were leaving, a large party arrived and the staff seamlessly pushed tables together to make it work, which really spoke to how flexible and thoughtful they are. For food, we ordered the salad, Bat clam chowder, chimichurri beef skewer, beef stroganoff, and salmon roulade. Portions were generous and everything was delicious. The beef skewer was good but not particularly memorable; however, I would absolutely order everything else again without hesitation. We finished with the berry crumble for dessert, which was the perfect way to end a lovely meal. Overall, a great dining experience with solid food and standout service--we'll definitely be back. read more

Get the Caesar salad!! It's the best one I've had in soo long. Sauce is not soggy and the acidity is so balanced. I would come here just for the salad. I believe they also won some salad award. Their pasta is homemade. The clams could've been more fresh but the white wine sauce was immaculate read more

Capuli Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

First time at this restaurant. It's a small place . We weren't sure what to expect. The menu was interesting . We had the pork chop~cooked to perfection, tender and delicious. The best I've had in a long time. Also a pasta with clams, equally delish. The server was sweet and very helpful in our ordering. We will go back. read more

A friend and I came for an early dinner before a show and arrived at 5 pm becoming their first dinner customers of the night. We were greeted warmly and seated at a quiet table by the window. Water was poured, menus delivered and wine was ordered first. We were delighted with the grilled octopus and roasted butternut squash crostini for appetizers. Next, we shared a Ceasar salad which was large enough for both of us. I ordered the Cortesse pasta which was loaded with vegetables and delicious pesto. My friend had the seared scallops which were perfectly cooked served over creamy mashed potatoes with garlicky spinach and a butter wine sauce. We took our time and decided to skip dessert so we could get to our next destination. We were pleased with the ambiance of the restaurant even as it filled up, the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend Capuli. read more

Capuli Restaurant - our choice for tonight - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Just great! 4.5-stars. Capuli is a small gem of a restaurant tucked in inconspicuously off Main Street in Westport. Featuring Mediterranean cuisine, the menu is contemporary, with beautifully prepared and presented appetizers, salads and entrees. Typical dishes are skewers, Greek salad, eggplant, salmon and a good balance of fish, poultry, pasta and steak. Service was delightful, we loved our waitress Gabi who was professional, attentive and pleasant. A couple areas of improvement could be a broader selection of whiskies from the bar, the addition of lamb on the menu, and a nicer offering of (warm) bread at the table, perhaps including olives, hummus, and EVOO. These touches would elevate Capuli to 5-star. All in, very lovely restaurant. read more

Wonderful owner and great food ! Newer disappointing:) Thank you for such great experience read more

Food was delicious, salmon roulade was original and exceptionally good, and service by the owner, Andrea, was impeccable. Highly recommend!

Came in on a Monday evening for dinner with my family and was surprised to see a fairly busy restaurant, which was promising. They've got some unique artwork on the walls and nice Spanish guitar music playing in the background. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and the food was good. Everything was visually appealing. I had the salmon roulade based on suggestion from the waitress. The highlight of the dish was the sauce which was rich, tangy and slightly sweet. The salmon was cooked well. I have to say, I enjoyed dessert most of all. The chocolate mousse was rich and not too sweet. It was less fluffy than other mousses I've tried so it felt like a substantial dessert. read more

So cute place although seating too tight and literally at the front door which is uncomfortable. Only a handful of apps so we chose two - combo chimichurri skewers and butternut squash bruschetta. Bruschetta was fine - nothing great nothing bad. But the skewers were horrendous. Tiny portion, overcooked chewy steak and no chimichurri to be found. I'm sorry when you only offer a few apps they should be stellar. That being said, dinner was much better overall for everyone and desserts were decent except lava cake which was overcooked and spongy and two people at our table ordered and both were bad. No complaints about service - they were nice. read more

Consistently great, fresh food. Family owned businesses with a personal touch. Very accommodating on dietary needs. A must try!

Really good! We had never been and were looking for a place to get dinner out. We were all pleasantly surprised and will absolutely be back! The waitress, Rachel, was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. It was a surprise to us the place wasn't busier. The beef stroganoff and chicken were standouts! We will have to save room for dessert next time. read more

Very nice, small family run establishment. The good was excellent and it was an enjoyable evening

Our waitress was the best part of our meal. She was attentive and kind. There was not much of ambiance as we were the only people in the restaurant but we liked the local art shared on the walls. The food was good. Nothing incredible or that reflected the high rating but good. Not sure if we would return for food at least. read more

First time to Capuli and definitely won't be our last! Delicious food and drinks, nice staff and cozy intimate vibes. Perfect for a date night. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and had a *delicious* kale salad with shrimp. The person I was with had the eggplant polenta dish which she loved and looked so good. Definitely plan to come back here again to try more things (and get that salad again). The food was 5 stars but the service lacked just a bit. Considering it was pretty empty in there, I would have expected the server to offer a refill on my club soda, which never happened (and we were there for 1.5 hours). read more

Excellent salmon roulade and tagliatelle al sugo. Kids had a nice mac n cheese and pasta. Friendly service and clean interior. Relaxed. What they do, they do very well. Hidden gem in downtown Westport. Update!!! Brought the same crew back here a few weeks later....same awesome experience. Excellent Firestone cab. Salmon roulade very tasty. Wife's eggplant polenta was great. Kids loved the mac n cheese. Again friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere (cool music). Will be back soon. read more

Capuli Restaurant - Lovely artwork, for sale too - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Capuli is a California-Mediterranean fusion restaurant conveniently located at 143 Post Road in downtown Westport. Capuli has 2 menus. One for lunch and one for dinner. Both offer a vibrant variety of Mediterranean classics, as well as an assortment of amazing, healthy, fresh flavorful dishes not commonly found in our community. Chef-owner Armando and his wife Andrea proud themselves on freshness and meticulous detail with their food while maintaining a fun, family friendly atmosphere. The food is presented like a work of art in state-of-art. The plating and flavors will make your 5 senses explode with excitement. It is hard to pinpoint my absolute favorite dishes because they were all so delicious. Definitely try the roasted chicken with sage and champagne butter over polenta cake. If meat is more your style, then you must have the delicious slow cooked pot roast over veggies and mashed potatoes. There is also excellent appetizers and other entrée options such as Salmon Roulade, NY Strip, Eggplant Polenta, and many others. (See pics to help fuel your appetite) Capuli is a fresh and unique "must-have" bright spot in the community. They are currently open for dine-in, takeout, and delivery via Grubhub and Uber eats. This foodie wishes Andrea and Chef Armando the best of luck and continued success. Definitely check this place out! You will not regret it! Also be sure to check out their daily specials. Last night I had a sausage tagliatelle that was divine! read more

What an Amazing find. We decided to venture out of Greenwich and try something new in Westport. While we were In our driveway a neighbor strikes a conversation and tells us about a place her friend just went to in Westport and we must try it. Well that place was closed and I am so glad. I turned to Yelp for help and based on several reviews and pictures I chose Capuli. What a beautiful restaurant, the husband and wife team sure know what they are doing. The sun was shining and we decided to sit outside. We ordered Bay Clam chowder 10/10 outstanding! I could have eaten a bucket of it. OMG so good!!! The grilled octopus and baby potatoes were delicious so were the Chimichurri Steak Skewers. My husband ordered the Greek bowl with flank steak and I had the grilled flank steak sandwich both were 10/10 While we were eating I was basically promoting the restaurant to those walking by telling them how good it is, and two couples came in. I will definitely return here as often as I am able to. I wish this restaurant much success! read more

Idk how I lived down the street & didn't know this place existed! I am only judging based on 2 takeout orders, but upon recommendation of fellow yelpers & my brother, I chose to give this place a shot & am SO glad I did. I absolutely Love their Cajun shrimp pene pasta. I ordered it both times, with no regrets! The garlic toast that comes with it is also very tasty. Now, the caesar salad unfortunately, was a little too 'anchovy forward' for me. I am aware that you use anchovy paste or actual anchovies in making the dressing, but I am really picky about how 'fishy' my dressing is & this was too much so, for me, personally. Other than that, the chicken was good & lettuce was fresh. Both dishes were prepared/presented very well. There are a bunch of things i'd like to try here. 4.5 stars! Yumm read more

Very good. Wonderful restaurant with great service. The artichoke jalapeño dip is outstanding.

Wonderful little place. We had lunch on a Tuesday. Usually not a fan of Tuesdays, but I am now. We had the Octopus, and 2 salads. Everything was made in house and it was wonderful. Priced right, and service was over the top. We will be back. Thank you so much. read more

The pasta dish was the best I tasted in years, including Italy. Service was fantastic . Would definitely go again!

Yum...can't wait to go back, the food was delicious! We had the artichoke and jalapeño dip to start and then shared the seared scallops entree in addition to the shrimp and spinach pasta. It was all cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. The chocolate layer cake was a perfect way to end such a delicious meal. Andrea and Armando were delightful,hospitable and welcoming. We will definitely be back. read more

Not your typical "good" restaurant .. Great, quaint, little place ... delicious food, wonderful friendly service ...just love it .. It would be selfish of me to try to keep it a secret .... read more

This place is so yummy! I was visiting from California and am so glad we ate here for dinner one night. I came in on a weekday evening and it wasn't crowded at all and we got amazing service. We were given some bread to start which was great. Then for appetizers we ordered the baked artichoke jalapeño dip, the shrimp skewers, and the roasted butternut squash crostinis. I'm not a big fan of butternut squash in general, but all three of these were pretty good. I especially liked the shrimp as they were seasoned well and weren't "smelly." I decided to get the pesto pasta as my main meal. The portion size was amazing and the pasta tasted fresh and flavorful. As mentioned before, service was outstanding. The employee that took care of us (I think she was the owner?) was friendly, attentive, and proactive. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Food and location and service. And the employees. Best American restaurant in town. In Westport. You should try going or checking it out!

Amazing food! The octopus was amazing and so was the tagliatelle . I got the eggplant polenta dish and the pesto on it was incredible ! Will be back read more

We had a lovely date-night dinner! It was not crowded - it was a Wednesday night - although a number of meals went out the door with delivery service folk. We split a bottle of chianti that was very nice as well as the Caesar salad. The server warned us the dressing had a noticeable amount of anchovy in it. It was delicious, and it was nice to be warned in case we did not. We both adore home made pasta and the tagliatelle was perfect. My wife is a vegetarian and asked for a preparation of the pasta from an item with shrimp and they accommodated. She said it was perfect. I had the grilled lamb special with pasta instead of potatoes - again no problem. The grapes with wine reduction was an amazing flavor! And so many restaurants serve mediocre coffee. Capuli's fresh-brewed was great. Definitely going back! read more

Salmon cooked to perfection. Service was exceptional. I will order again for sure. I highly recommend.

There's a disconnect here! The food is absolutely incredible!!!! The service- clueless. I had to ask the waiter to take my beverage order and that was the type of service we got the rest of our visit. Kudos to the chef though! I wasn't expecting much bc the service was so bad but as I had already mentioned- it was a wonderfully prepared meal! So good that I had to ignore the bad service and give the place 4 stars. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. We were impressed! My husband got the house-made Tagliatelle pasta and I got the seared scallops - both delicious! Our only small suggestion is that the patio chairs could potentially be upgraded. Everything else was so great that having folding chairs outside felt a little out of place. We will definitely return! read more

Park in the lot across the street and RUN to this restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing . Portions were great and everything was delicious. It is a small family owned place that I wholly support! read more

Capuli Restaurant - Swordfish with Yukon gold potatoes and green beans - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

The moment I stepped into Capuli I felt transported into the Mediterranean. It reminded me of the restaurants in Santorini with its arches and romantic table settings. The food lived up to and exceeded expectations from other reviews I read before choosing to pop in. I ordered the grilled flank steak sandwich with fries and my wife ordered the Eggplant Polenta Napoleon. I would order the sandwich for lunch every day if I could. The jalapeño cilantro aioli is worth the visit alone. A ciabatta roll that's soft and tastes freshly baked. I took a bit of my wife's polenta and it's a good thing I did early on because she devoured it. I'm not usually one for eggplant but it's one of those dishes that makes me think I could be vegetarian if I ate that quality of veggie dish - and that's saying a lot for an Argentinian who eats more meat than he should. Finally, the dessert. I am not a chocolate mousse fan. I repeat, I am not a chocolate mousse fan. However... I am a fan of Capuli's chocolate mousse. Everything from the texture in the flavor was perfect and completed one of the more memorable lunches I've had in a while. read more

I loved the meal I had had Capuli! What a find. Their California bowl is delicious - so fresh, tasty, and delicious. I need to order this again soon. I balanced out my delightful salad with fresh-cut french fries, which were equally delicious. I only ordered via an app, but I would love to come here in person and experience the ambiance. Hopefully I can visit soon as things open up more and more. Congrats on your opening; you will do well. read more
