Tucked around the corner from Prada, I found this escape when I hopped off the funicolare. It was quiet, elegant, and the views speak for themselves. 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. read more

Very nice proprietor and wait staff working in a clean, well run restaurant. 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. read more

In a small street, this is a hidden gem. The Pasta alle vongole was exceptional. The quiet atmosphere, away from the main square and the nice service made it a great experience. read more

Great place! They made a dish that I requested with modifications exactly to my liking and didn't up charge which was very considerate. The food was some of the best I have eaten and wasn't super oily or creamy! The lemon cake was light and delicious as well with a delicious crust. 100% recommend this for a nicer dinner. The ambiance is amazing and they have a great sunset view during dinner!! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here! We were struggling to find a place to eat in Capri that had reasonable prices for authentic food, and this place fit the bill. The servers were very kind and helpful and brought us to a table near the kitchen since we did not make a reservation. The restaurant itself was very bustling towards the late evening, but the tables were far enough apart where it provided some privacy. For dinner, I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole which was very tasty and well-portioned. I was very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant and would've returned if I had more time in Capri! read more

This restaurant had some good reviews so we decided to try it, and after all it's Capri. Unfortunately it was a bust, the food was disappointing and the atmosphere was as well dull with a limited staff and seating, with all the wonderful restaurants in Capri, you don't need to settle for this place. My recommendation is a pass read more

Excellent option for families visiting Capri. Affordable & tasty!! Highly recommend for sit down as well as take away/to go. read more

If you're reading this because you're wandering through Capri deciding where to eat, please pretty please, with a basil leaf on top, GO HERE. This restaurant is fully of love and history. It's a little tough to find as it's really hidden in the little ally way. Once you step through it's like a little time capsule. Curved walls, a beautiful single window (if you're real lucky you get the table next to it), and a counter for takeout orders really stands out. I chose to order a cheeseless pizza - say whaaaa? It was awesome! The tuna pizza came with olives, onions, the most deliciously tangy red sauce, and a drizzle of olive oil. I easily ate the whole pie, crust included (arguably the best part) for lunch and didn't feel weighed down at all! In addition to the pizza being mind blowing, the spaghetti my husband ordered was also just darn freaking tasty, and the table bread... heavenly. This is a perfect restaurant. read more

We have been in Capri for 3 nights, and stumbled across this restaurant our first night here. My partner is 2nd generation Italian and very particular when it comes to food. It was a holiday weekend and crowded in Capri, as tourists (like ourselves) were just beginning to return. We got the only table free and I remarked at how many carry out orders they were processing as we were waiting. We played it safe and ordered a cheese pizza and fettuccine bolognese. The pizza was truly incredible, and the best pizza either of us had ever had. It was fantastic! The pasta was fresh and delicious too. Needless to say we returned and tried a different pizza and pasta every night. Each better than the last. We don't know what they do to their crust but it is just amazing! We looked at other restaurants sit empty, as Buca di bacco is packed with a line out the door. And a line of delivery drivers waiting to pick up orders. This is the type of restaurant you dream about returning to as it is that good! And the service and staff were fantastic, as were the ambiance. My advice is to make a reservation as it is very popular with the locals and was packed every night. Enjoy!!! read more

Tiny place. It has one small window and only able to seat two people to enjoy the view. Food is decent, quick service. Overall a good experience especially if you're hungry! read more

If you're looking for authentic Italian (pasta/pizza) and not wanting to break the bank, Buca di Bacco is the spot to go! Our hotel recommended this place and it was delicious. Place is off the beaten path and has cozy dining room. Bolognese was delicious! Make sure to show up hungry. read more

Typical tourist trap. Food was mediocre. Not paying for the view because there is one small window in the restaurant and you cannot see out of it. Pizza was good but all else mehhh. They pack you in and you get walked into by waiters as you eat. read more

Spent the day in Capri and was craving pizza like every other person in this world does. Found Buca di bacco before arriving and it wasn't the easiest to find. Lucky for us, this place was empty when we arrived, and packed up 15 minutes later. There is literally one table with the perfect view by the window. Do your best and try to request this (not sure if you can). Ordered a carafe of the house red which is always good and a few pizzas for lunch. The food is good, it's a little quaint restaurant, and great service. This makes a great lunch spot in Capri. read more

Hidden gem. Small cozy restaurant with delicious food. I had pasta with clams and my wife had a margarita pizza. We also shared a cáprese salad. All three items were great. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday in the early afternoon. I was seated immediately and the service was good. I order the Gnocchi al Sorrento and it came out within ten minutes. I found the dish to be rather lackluster though. It tasted like Heniz or Chef Boyardee sauce with little to no seasonings. The gnocchi was really doughy, but it seems to be made in house which was nice. There was so much mozzarella in this dish though that it was almost overpowering. By far the cheesiest thing I've eaten here. If you're into that, I'm sure you'll love it. Don't think I'd come back. read more

We came for lunch and was lucky enough to get the seat by the window. The couple sitting there just left right after we sat down and when I asked our waiter if we can move he happily obliged. I ordered the caprese salad to share and got the ravioli caprese. We're in Capri after all so why not order the specialties! Definitely enjoyed both of them and the mozzarella was really really good, it was fresh and had really good texture. It was nothing like I've ever had in the US. I also took a bite of the fettucine Bolognese my boyfriend ordered and really liked the very meaty sauce. This places charges a 3 Euro cover charge per person. (coperto - not the same as tip) to your bill. read more

This place was tucked into an alley but was still easy to find thanks to all the little signs in Capri. It was cool to see the actual pizza oven. We got two pizzas and both were delish. The reason I knocked off a star was because when we walked in with our toddler I saw the server roll his eyes. She behaved really well and the rest of the staff was kind to her but wasn't a fan of the eye rolling. read more

Our least memorable meal on our entire honeymoon. We were recommended to come here from our hotel. We just got in and were too tired and hungry to actually think and do research. Not a particularly bad meal by any means, just nothing special. It's a small eatery tucked away on the walkway past TOD's. Prices are very reasonable considering Capri is slightly expensive due to tourism. We started with the octopus & potato salad--generous portion of octopus, not chewy at all, atop soft buttery potatoes. Squeeze some lemon on this and it's divine! Next we had the spaghetti carbonara and fish baked with almonds, orange & lemon. Both great dishes! Aside from pulling some bones out of the fish, it was fresh and had great flavor. Rounded out the meal with the limoncello cake, which was disappointingly meh. The service is just there to serve you food, not make you feel good. Considering how many awesome meals we've had throughout Italy, this place is just not above average. read more

We fell upon this tiny little gem while in Capri. We walked in right at 3 but they were still will to seat us as long as we didn't order pizza. Got a delicious 1/2 bottle of white wine, caprese salad and the best ravioli my husband and I have ever had. Delicious!! Wish they weren't closing as we could have soaked in the experience a little more. read more

You come here for the view although only one table gets to sit by it. The atmosphere is quaint and gets completely filled with sunlight. The octopus potato salad is light and very tender dressed with olive oil, basil and lemon at around 15€ which was worth it because of the amount of octopus they give you. A lot of people ordered the pizza which is reasonably priced from 8-15 euros. We ordered the doc pizza (9€) which couldve spent more time in the oven because the cheese didn't melt all the way but the dough was crisp and chewy just the way most people like it. The spaghetti frutti di mare (16€) was medium sized not too heavy and the seafood was very fresh. For Capri this is supposedly a very reasonably priced restaurant and is worth checking out. read more

Small place off main square. It has a small window with a drop-dead gorgeous view. But frankly speaking, this view is everywhere in Capri. We went for a lunch with family. It was our last day in Capri and I have realized I had no pizza none whatsoever. So Buca was my pizza place. I found overall tastes to be very good as I have munched from everyone. My pizza was a well balanced pizza with tomato sauce, ham, and others. But I found its dough to be standing out of everything. Value wise, like everything else in Capri, it's on the expensive side... read more

Came here on a recommendation for a low key dinner from the shop woman from eco capri. She said she goes here regularly for simple meals. Everyone who was dining there was Italian. Typical Capri style Italian food. We got their house appetizer which had the most delicious grilled red peppers and picked fish (anchovies, salmon). Their recommendations for their house pasta was a homemade spinach fettuccine with clams and mushrooms and their recommendations for fish was their lemon fish filet. All were delicious and simple. We had a beautiful view of the marina and the mega yachts by the window. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Great pizza, salads and service. Loved this little find. Just down from the main square, we were very happy with our delicious meal. read more

It is a small restaurant off the main square. Friendly staff and good italian food. It is better to make a reservation. We came in October (Off-Season) and we were lucky to get a table. Value is ok for Capri. read more

GREAT FOOD! Cute restaurant with a large menu. This place won't disappoint!

Great restaurant slightly off the main path of busy downtown Capri ! We were lucky enough to snag the two seater table in front of their north facing window and the lovely sea breeze was such a treat. The homemade pasta with porcini mushrooms was one of the tastiest and unique dishes I had all trip. We came back for pizza on our way out of town and it was also very delicious. Definitely recommend this spot ! read more

We were told that Buca Di Bacco was a good family style place that was known for their pizza. The inside was very tiny, with just a few tables. One table has a window seat that overlooks the water. We started by splitting the pizza parmense, which had mozzarella and prosciutto, but no tomato sauce. The pizza was good, but needed the sauce as it was a little dry. Our waiter knew we were splitting this, so they cut it in half and brought us out 2 plates. I had the spaghetti carbonara and my wife had the risotto alla pescatura, which included mussels, calamari, prawns, and clams. The carbonara paled compared to anything I had in Rome. Very average. Her risotto was good, but didn't measure up compared to any of the others we had Da Giorgio right down the street had better pizza hands down! I would not return here. If you are looking for a pizza, go to Da Giorgio. read more

We came for dinner and it was dead quiet even with 3 tables seated, the fact they had no music made it uncomfortable to have a private conversation of any kind. We had the filets- they didn't ask how we wanted them cooked but they still came out ok- medium rare. His was very chewy though. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I don't recommend this place unless you want a lot of awkward silence and no personality from staff. read more

Ehh. My risotto was drenched in olive oil. I get it we are in Italy but it was straight nasty. The place was unkept and run down. The place had 1 window. Just not what you want out of a place in Capri. My wife had the linguini and enjoyed it... That's the only reason I gave it 2 stars. read more

Charming Italian restaurant with excellent pasta dishes, superb service and cozy atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table as we arrived just at 8:30 pm in the off season and the place filled up shortly after. Reservations recommended since the dining room is so small. read more

It was slightly hard to find but with a little bit of effort we arrived and was sat immediately. I order the seafood spaghetti and the beau ordered their fish with lemon and orange. We both loved our dishes. Excellent flavor for the fish, the lemon and the sweetness of oranges combined with the delicate texture of the fish was perfect. Same with the pasta dish, always al dente and calms and mussels were sweet with a touch of the ocean freshness. read more

We had pasta with muscles and clams. Both were great. Many locals eating there which was a great sign. It was small and not much of a view, but not touristy and lower prices. read more

Lovely spot! Really good food and the service was professional and caring. Their antipasto misto is just amazing and the pizza is exquisite. Nice one read more

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Buca di Bacco while in Capri. We shared a Caprese salad, and I had the Caprese style pizza and my husband had the Quattro Formaggi. The crust was delicious on both. Very solid if you are looking for very authentic Neopolitan style pizza! read more
