At GUM’s Main Terminal, Capricciosa pulls a rare 5-star rating.
This sit-down Italian spot sits landside in the Main terminal at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, and that 5.0 rating puts it ahead of most Guam airport options. It’s a full restaurant, not a grab-and-go counter, so budget at least 45–60 minutes before an international departure. The setup works well if you’re checking in early for United or Jeju Air and want a real meal before security.
Capricciosa runs typical mall-restaurant hours tied to Main terminal traffic, with opening times usually aligned to morning bank departures and closing after the late-night flights to Japan and Korea. Expect table service, menus, and a bill, not food-court trays. Prices run in line with Guam resort dining: think mid-teens to low-$20s in USD for pasta and mains, with shared starters in the $8–$12 range. Portions come out on the large side by airport standards, so two people can easily split one pasta and a salad.
The menu focuses on familiar Italian-American comfort dishes: big bowls of tomato-sauce pastas, cream-based options like carbonara or Alfredo, and pizza with standard toppings. If you’re hungry from a transpacific leg, a single pasta order often lands close to 400–500 grams of food. Expect standard soft drinks by the glass and a small selection of beer and wine; ask about any local Guam brews if you want something regional. Service is typically fast once seated, with most tables turned inside 30 minutes.
There aren’t consistent complaints in recent reviews, but Main terminal can get busy when multiple widebody departures stack up. That sometimes means a short wait for a table or slightly slower refills. Pay at the table, then leave at least 15–20 minutes to walk to security and clear formalities. One practical move: check your gate and boarding time first, then eat here before heading airside, since decent full-service options past security stay limited.
