Its location near the amphitheater entrance of the Pompeii Archeological Park makes it very easy to find. The food was fantastic, the pasta was perfect. The service was absolutely top-notch as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

The desert was heavenly, and the pasta is home-made. But the number-one best thing about this restaurant was the service. Our server, Roberto, went above and beyond to ensure that my family had exceptional service. He speaks incredible English, and he even made drawings for my kids! I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I insist anyone coming through Pompeii visit.

It was a statistical anomaly that gave us the opportunity to dine at this marvelous establishment…read more My husband and I were looking for a different seafood restaurant nearby, and couldn't find it. The locals told us that the place we were looking for had closed and to try Cuptie. Reluctantly, we took their advice. I am overjoyed that we did. With skepticism, we ordered just two small plates. After our first bite, we were hooked. We ended up getting two more plates! As self-proclaimed food enthusiasts, my husband and I rarely eat twice at the same restaurant when we travel. That way, we can try as much unique food as possible. This is the only place that we returned to during our trip to Italy, here in Sorrento. The food and service was fantastic. I highly recommend the mix seafood salad. The octopus and cuttlefishfish were absolutely superb esspecially considering the price!

The service was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

We tried many things, all were good. The most exceptional were the beef tartare, fried cod with cauliflower and the spaghetti with seafood. We also tried pork belly, fried seafood with salad, tuna tartare with mozzarella, mixed salad, and pasta with tomatoes and mussels from mt Vesuvius. We had an early lunch so we were literally the only ones in the restaurant on a random weekday at 1pm. We ate on the beautiful outdoor patio area that was essentially enclosed in a tent, perfect for the slight chill in the air today. The locals would probably call this place expensive but for a group of 4, we spent about 120 euros including a few glasses of wine. They also have a nice 4-course tasting menu for 35 euros, 50 if you add wine to each course. For us, for the quality of the food with all local ingredients, it was certainly well worth it. Overall, a nice slow-paced restaurant to rest our feet while sipping on some local wines and tasting some good food after a long morning's walk in Pompeii.

They do have parking in front of the restaurant.

Good selection of wines that are reasonably priced. Overall cost for the evening about 50% less than what I would pay in California for this meal.

In this fashion, we were lured into this establishment by the owner while walking through the silent street on a gloomy afternoon. The open, airy space is pleasant and unpretentious. The welcome by waiters was more comparable to a greeting that a host would provide for guests into their own house. Being presented with a wide spanning menu felt completely unnecessary, as within moments of sitting down, the chef came out of the kitchen to greet and tell about the house specialties. The middle aged Italian man was dressed very cleanly and despite little knowledge of English, provided a better recommendation than one could ever desire from yelp or from the menu itself, which still laid untouched on the table. The prosciutto bruschetta was bursting with flavor of fresh, ripe tomatoes that gave off the sweetness of a cherry, the fullness of sun ripening and the flavor that can only be experienced in a dream. The paccheri pasta looked as beautiful as it tasted, in a pleasant green color and the flavor profile that one can only experience in select establishments. Amusingly from the name, the Carlo Alberto pizza was the least favorite of the dishes had here, but was very interesting. If coming through to visit Pompeii, do not miss this establishment.
