Most Disliked

While diners generally have positive experiences at Trattoria Caputo, some have noted minor quirks due to its recent opening. A few customers mentioned that the restaurant is still undergoing some renovations, which may impact the overall feel of the dining space. Additionally, although the ambience is praised, some patrons felt it could benefit from more personal touches in decor. A notable point of feedback is the absence of an alcohol license at this time, which might limit beverage choices for guests who prefer wine to accompany their meal. However, many have adapted by bringing their own, which the restaurant welcomes.

Just finished dining here this evening with my wife and daughter, and what beautiful food. We just returned from Rome and Napoli, and have to say, this restaurant made us feel like we we're still there. The food we tasted was authentic, and perfectly Italian in every way. The service was fantastic. The woman who runs it was serving us. She was lovely, very passionate and informative with her menu, and even made time to speak to each and every guest. Another thing to note was the atmosphere. Italian music was being played, and I loved it as it really carrys the experience. So many times over the year's I've been to restaurants of different cultures such as Turkish, Italian and Indian, and it's English music being played. To me that doesn't carry the culture, but this place hit it perfect for us! The interior, on other reviews, people state it's a new place and still under renovation. I personally thought the place looked perfect. It genuinely felt like we was still in Rome or Naples dining. The brickwork, pictures and mood was perfect. I personally would not change anything. At time of posting review, the restaurant is just shy of 2 weeks post opening. I genuinely wish them all the best, and expect this restaurant to do well in the future. If you want authentic Italian food with great service, at an excellent price, then look no further. Can highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again!

Ate here with friends last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food and service excellent and lovely ambience. We had a variety of dishes all of which were delicious and very tasty. Started with a garlic bread which was absolutely fantastic, cooked to perfection, the best I have tasted for a long time. Homemade tiramisu finished the meal off perfectly. We took our own wine as they are still waiting for alcohol licence. We all love Italian food and this is as good as it gets. Been waiting a long time for a good Italian in Scunthorpe since Giovanni left . Well recommended and will definitely be eating there again soon.
