I absolutely loved everything. The atmosphere of the restaurant is simply wonderful. I want to especially thank our attentive waiter — he was incredibly polite, kind, and provided seamless service throughout the evening without ever being intrusive. I also have to highlight the burrata pizza, which was absolutely delicious. As someone who lived nearly 14 years in Naples, I can confidently say this is the real Neapolitan pizza. The only thing that puzzled me a bit were the Greek walnuts, but I think you can simply ask to have them removed — they don’t affect the taste at all. As for the bruschetta, I was slightly confused at first because I expected the classic toasted bread with tomatoes. But you know what? It turned out to be very good, very tasty. It wasn’t a traditional bruschetta, but it was a refined version with a great touch of balsamic. The flavors were perfectly balanced and complemented each other beautifully. We ordered two glasses of rosé, and then received two more on the house — which was a lovely gesture from the restaurant. The place is located in a very cozy district. And honestly, I can’t wait to come back again and again to try their pasta — I’m sure it’s amazing. Thank you for this experience. My friend and I were absolutely delighted!

I am a permanent visitor at Capitano Batroun and I was happy that we have now another branch near by. The place is nice, decorated in a casual way. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is tasty as usual, we tried off the menu the pumpkin soup and it was tasty. The alfredo chicken pasta is tasy as usual. I really like that you have good options for bottled wine and a very affordable price. The place is recommended.

Capitano has a nice ambience and the staff were friendly, but the food didn’t really meet expectations. The pasta wasn’t good, but the pizza was okay. The place itself is pleasant, but the food could definitely be improved.
