Vinoteca Pompette Restaurant

One of my favourite dining experiences in the city. Will definitely be coming back. The octopus dish is to die for! The use of XO sauce brings it so much flavour and no it’s not overcooked. That’s always the risk I take when I order octopus when I’m dining but the cook was perfect. Also tried the Sicilian tuna crudo- very light and fresh, octopus and papardelle al ragu- definitely in my top 5 of pasta dishes in the city. Flavour profile of this dish is well balanced and even-though it is a hearty pasta dish with the duck confit it wasn’t overdone. Finished off with vanilla soft serve that’s topped with olive oil, honey and fennel pollen 🧑‍🍳💋 Also service and hospitality is 100/10 cared for through and through without having to ask, it was nice they’re always 10 steps ahead of you. Can’t wait to come again!

We were excited to try this restaurant based on the great reviews. Our group of four was seated on the outdoor patio, and we ordered a variety of dishes: carpaccio, tuna, ravioli, arancini, octopus, burger, risotto, pappardelle, along with a few drinks. The food was good, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. The ravioli portion was quite small and would be better suited as an appetizer rather than a main course. Service was very attentive, especially after one of the staff accidentally spilled water on me, which was handled well. Overall, while everything was pleasant, it didn’t quite live up to the high expectations.

my best experience at all time; amazing owners; chief; and services. all drinks and dishes are filled with passion; creativity; original; and stories behind. you have to meet max and martin who are very friendly and amazing. atmosphere : simple and dark but comfy drinks: heartfelt and well presented dishes must have: 1st mussels (comes with sourdough bread already) but u will preset more for the mussel sauce; the clam juice and the homemade chili sauce were the soul of this dish. u will lick all the creamy sauce so addictive. the octopus was tender and flavorful; well balance with the xo sauce and the citrus white sauce; the gnocchis is home made and is different from the traditional; so light and the cream sauce is not heavy at all u have to try this hard to explain; final one is the duck pappardelle. the sourdough bread yes another signature dish. i don’t care what u say. it’s my fav place now and will bring my foodie friends here again again & again; btw u should go to their bar pompette after their delicious meal; good cozy settings and lovely drinks there. they have a secret shot for your preventing hangover !!! cheers should be a michelin star restaurant; my 2 stars anyways

Vinoteca Pompette was outstanding. They have an impressive wine list created by the chef whose a sommelier. We were seated in the covered outdoor area. Ricotta toast was beautifully presented. The Branzina BBQ fish had crispy skin on top of the exquisite luxurious cream and black egg roe recommended by our serve. Service was attentive. Really had a great time with my colleagues.

Food was cold. Portions were too small to be considered mains. Servers were absent. Patio was cute but no music and not rly much going for it. AND LASTLY: my sister and I both ended up with food poisoning. Not sure what did it but we had the tuna app, mussels, ravioli, octopus, and one of the sides. OVERRATED. FOOD POISONING. OVERPRICED. angry…!

Just had an amazing experience at this Italian restaurant. The menu changes often, but every dish is crafted with passion and integrity. The flavors were exceptional, with the meats and sauces melting in our mouths. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary—such a cute, intimate date spot!

Fantastic meal and great food. The service was amazing and the cocktails were great. The octopus was the standout dish. Highly recommend a meal on the patio.

Had the best time here! Loved the food and atmosphere, everyone is so friendly and attentive. We tried the appetizers, which were delicious, especially the eggplant dish! Pastas were also to die for, worth every calorie. Special shoutout to the beautiful wine selection, I tried a few different wines by the glass and they were all spot on. Can’t wait to be back to try the famous burger and tiramisu! 😋
