My family and I were so lucky to have stumbled into this amazing family run restaurant on our day trip to Capri! The owner is incredibly hospitable, kind and funny. My mom and I ordered the homemade pasta with lemon sauce and it was amazing, light, fresh. The Grottinetti was a fried pasta dish with cheese and meat inside, it was so unique and absolutely delicious. The veal was also yum. The owner gave us the true Italian experience and even hand fed my sister so she would finish all of her meal - it was hilarious!!! Come to find out Giada Delaurentis, Adam Sandler and many many other famous people have all been here (there are pictures in the restaurant and on Instagram). If you are looking for a true Italian experience with amazing food please come here. read more

We visited here on our last night in Capri, which ended up being a great choice for us. We came here as a group of 3 without a reservation, and the gracious staff sat us immediately. The restaurant itself was very cute and home-y, and we felt very welcome. There were lots of choices on the menu, spanning between pasta, vegetables, seafood and other meats. We chose the gnocchi, veal lemon piccata, and ravioli, which were all very tasty. Understanding that this is a very touristy destination, we expected it to be a bit pricey (around 15-20 euro per person), but of course wish a bit more was included for the price point. Still, I think this is a very solid restaurant choice during your Capri trip! read more

Don't think about going anywhere else! Giafranco was the most humble owner who provides attentive service with the most amazing food. My girlfriend enjoyed the homemade pasta with clams, I had the 2 lb T bone steak. We had potato croquettes, fried cheese, and fresh sliced ham and melons. You may find a restaurant with a view but your food will never compare. It was my birthday and the experience was to die for. Best birthday ever! read more

We stopped here for a quick lunch between the port and the Gardens of Agustus. Great little spot tucked away with amazing dishes!

Chef/owner is very kind and personal - creating a great atmosphere. Food is outstanding. I think I may have had the best pasta and clams in my life, and this was at lunch. Lemon pasta was excellent as well but the clam dish was next level. Highly recommend. read more

Great food, great service, great portions. The owner is very involved with every aspect of service. The truffle pasta with zucchini flowers was amazing. The fish of the day and oysters were so fresh. One of my favorite dining experiences in Capri. Reservations are recommended so you sit at a more centrally located table, but the owner does his best to accommodate all walk ins. read more

This restaurant was amazing. We got done with a boat tour and we were hungry at a weird time in Italy where almost everything is closed (3 pm). Luckily this place was open. I believe the owner/chef was there taking our orders and making our food. We started off with the calamari steak. It was huge and so tender, some of the best calamari I've had. I had the pasta with the shrimp and zucchini flowers. It was delicious, the pasta was handmade and so light. The sauce was light and delicious. I sampled the clam pasta, the shrimp pasta and the ragu. Everything was excellent. It was one of the best meals. I would highly recommend a stop by for some of the absolute best Italian food. read more

Really great little place, just off the main town square in Capri. We found it via Yelp and were hoping that the reviews didn't steer us wrong. They did not. We were welcomed warmly as we arrived. It is a pretty small place but very well decorated. The service and the food were excellent. So was the wine. I highly recommend this place -- it was a great experience. read more

Food was not good, owner and employees were VERY nice. We had fruiti de mar pasta and didn't like the sauce. I had the pasta w shrimp and zucchini flowers which waiter said was the "pride of the restaurant" I found it to be very bland. We did not like our food. They offered to replace mine but I declined. Very nice wait staff I will say and it was packed, but we were very displeased w both of our dishes unfortunately. read more

Perfecto!!! We absolutely loved this cozy, authentic restaurant off the beaten path in Capri. We stumbled across it while we were lost and it was such a great find. Jean Franco (owner) and his staff are impeccable. The service was swift and warm. We started with fried mozzarella- my husband was craving. It was light and yummy. Def a good starter that won't fill you up. I had the seafood pasta filled with mussels, clams and incredible prawns. It was simply amazing. It was the dish I had been searching for the whole trip. Man did it deliver! My husband had cheese ravioli. It was amazing. I am Not a fan of ravioli but I loved it too. The food was hot, served with perfect timing. Also wonderful wine list!! This is a must do if in Capri. read more

Delicious, wonderful! Best words to describe the experience. We are here in Capri for only a few days and wanted to enjoy the foods of the amalfi coast. From the moment I called to make reservations, the owner was welcoming and helpful. He asked where I was staying and gave me directions from my hotel. When we walked in, he had our table reserved, no wait at all. Quaint restaurant amidst the center of Capri. It's down an alley so easy to miss but once you taste the food, the place is unforgettable. My sister and I started with the caprese salad (upgrade to the bufala mozzarella, well worth it) and the mussels. The freshest mussels I've even tasted in a tasty light tomato sauce. We, then decided to share the seafood coccotte (excuse my spelling). It comes prepared in a dutch oven with homemade linguine. Amazing! The mussels, clams and prawns are so fresh they taste as if they came right from the sea to the table. We decided to finish our culinary journey with the Capri cake. A light chocolate cake with nuts, so good and satisfying. And the entire time, the owner made us feel welcome, as if we known each other for years, not rushing us either even though he had several people waiting for a table. Only here in Capri for a few more days but intend on going back for some lunch. If you are ever in Capri, take my advice and stop in at All Grottino. You will thank me! read more

The restaurant was tucked away in a small alley. It was an effort to find it, but it was a great find. The food was cooked with love. Fresh mozzarella with cherry tomatoes, looked blend but it was creamy, deeply flavorful and heavenly. Mixed shellfish with hand cut pasta was suggested by the owner, and it did not disappoint. Ravioli was excellent too. We were so happy to find an amazing restaurant amongst the tourist traps. read more

Wow just wow. By far the best restaurant in Capri! The food, service, and ambience was wonderful. I truly enjoyed everything at Al Grottino. The service was impeccable, and the owner took care of everything we needed. He was able to accommodate everyone and everything for us. The vongole pasta was fresh and tasty, as well as the caprese pasta and bolognese. It was all magical. All the tables were full and the restaurant clean and tidy. The bathrooms are also very well taken care of. read more

My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Al Grottino on a rainy Wednesday (note that Wednesday most restaurants in Capri are closed but Al Grottino is open). We were seated by a gentleman, who we think is the owner and we occasionally observed in the kitchen cooking, and served by another local Italian. Both had passable but not great English. The restaurant is a small, elegant, restaurant just off the main square in Capri. It's an intimate setting with pretty white ceilings. We ordered a few pasta dishes to share based on recommendations from our server. The first, an excellent seafood pasta that we highly recommend. Both of us cleaned our plates with bread because the sauce was so flavorful. The second, a ravioli filled with mozzarella and served with tomatoes and fresh basil - also excellent and we were both members of the clean plate club. The third, a risotto, never arrived. We think it may have been lost in translation. No problem, we enjoyed a panna cotta for dessert which was excellent. Overall, a nice dinner and we would probably return. The restaurant did fail to serve us one dish we ordered and didn't do anything above and beyond but the food was great, atmosphere was cozy, and service was fine. read more

Spending a few days in Capri while on vacation in Italy and searched for a place that would be a good dining experience on this magical island and Al Grottono hit the mark. A little hard to find, but well worth it! Small, so on a busy night expect to be close to the tables around you, but this adds to the fun. Owner is helping take orders, bus tables and offer suggestions to your dining. The food is very good, I had the lemon based pasta and my wife had the ravioli - both served hot, and were very tasty. Service was a bit slow due to two large parties, but order another bottle of wine and enjoy! Bravo! read more
