    Cozy place and Nice Food ~ especially the main dish - fish and seafood soup. It's a semi underground restaurant, Don't miss it

    Gnocchi, lemon piccata, and ravioli
    Erin O.

    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!

    Gorgeous restaurant. Amazing food! Homemade Pasta. We were visiting from California. Wished you were here in Calif!!!!

    Gorgeous restaurant, amazing food! Homemade Pasta! Beautiful afternoon lunch in Gorgeous Capri! Wished you were in California!!! The Owner makes you feel like family.

    The lemon pasta you have to get it! I got the shrimp pasta and it was good - but I was scraping my husbands plate with my bread every chance I got!!! The pasta is handmade and fresh which makes l the difference!

    Tiramisu

    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!

    Burrata and octopus salad

    Guys this is best seafood Restaurant on this island . Octopus salad was the best I ever had. Highly recomand . Burata salad is to die for , very fresh. Seafood Risotto and lemon pasta is 5 star . We also had a warm appetizer Scarola Napolitana which is chef specialty, delicious and rich in flavor. Service and owner are very friendly and attentive!

    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.

    Zucchini flowers & gamberriti pasta
    Stephanie S.

    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.

In Capri, one simply has the Caprise salad. It was the perfect light lunch to celebrate my visit to this island. My waiter was friendly and I left revived from a 95°F day.

    Very nice proprietor and wait staff working in a clean, well run restaurant…read more There was an unfortunate and annoying child being very loud but that was not the fault of the restaurant, rather the parents. We even saw him take a bite of the communal Parmesan cheese with the spoon from the dish (and the mother returned it to the bowl) which prompted us to not use the Parmesan. The pizzas were hot and fresh, we ordered the Davola and salsiccia e friarielii. Both were delicious but in the end, we love a tomato based pizza the best and should not have wavered. A glass of house wine was surprisingly reasonable at just 5 euro and was a standardly nice, juicy, easy to drink red. The bread was incredibly delicious. The smokiness from the wood oven made it possibly the most delicious bread I can remember eating. No butter. No olive oil. Just delicious. We would have loved to have tried a few of the pasta dishes that looked delicious, so our recommendation for a couple is to get a pizza and a pasta and share them. The salads also looked fresh and large. As many places in Italy, there a fee to sit at the restaurant and be served. 8 euro for both of us. The next day when waiting for our ferry ride, we popped into a pizzeria and grabbed another pizza diavola to go...what a let down. The pizza at buca di bacco was within a euro or two in price and 100% better. If you haven't had a good pizza in Italy and find yourself in Capri, at least grab one or two of their pizzas to go and eat them near the ocean overlook. Don't forget the chili flakes You will be quite content.

    La Fontelina is a gem of a restaurant/beach club that is in such high demand that we couldn't…read moresecure beach club reservations even months in advance. Nestled on the side of a cliff in Capri, is this lovely place. It took our group of 8 on quite the trek down the side of said cliff in the hot Capri sun. Well it was worth the hike because the view was spectacular and the food was phenomenal. We basically ordered the entire menu but the standouts for me were the scallops, the fresh raw oysters and the seafood risotto. Of course the seafood tastes like they got it right out of the ocean. The service was also beyond amazing. Whatever we asked for, it was there with minutes and the table was quickly cleared of empty dishes and my wine was replenished a satisfying amount of times. I'm sad we couldn't experience the beach club but the view helped with the FOMO...btw the hike back up the cliff was intense. I'm grateful I'm in somewhat decent shape. An alternative to the uphill hike is a water taxi from the restaurant which requires advanced booking.

    The best thing about this place is the views, so gorgeous! The ambiance is very quiet with no music…read moreat all, crowd was boring, staff at the beach club was super rude, the staff at the restaurant was a lot more friendly. No one at beach club asked if they could get you anything so you have to walk up and ask, chairs didn't recline. I wouldn't go back, lots of other beach clubs to check out in Capri.
