So I literally had to go all the way to Italy to find Gelato that was comparable to Bella, and I found it! On the beautiful isle of Capri, as you walk through the fancy city centre, you will smell the aroma of fresh waffle cones. Follow that. You'll see a line up. Wait in line. It's worth it. They have a special flavour - Gelati di Capri - Vanilla, Almonds, and Nutella. Best gelato I have ever had. NO LIE. Inside the bakery, you will also find delicious Capri treats. We got a few of their most popular pastries, a lemon puff with custard. It was mouthwatering. As if Capri was not beautiful enough, Buonocore Raffaele takes it over the top. read more

Given the small size of Capri, it's obvious that gelato choices will be limited. Of the few options, the Gastronomia was the highest rated on Yelp so my friend and I elected to go here. You have to take the trolley from the base of Capri up to the top to get to this place. It is surrounded by luxury shops like Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton, definitely unexpected. There was a decent sized line but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered "After Eight" and chocolate in a waffle bowl with hot fudge. I loved the fresh, warm waffle bowl! However, the hot fudge melted the gelato really quickly and made it a hot goopy mess. The texture of the gelato was perfect but the flavor was just okay. Good in terms of gelato in Capri, but not in Italy as a whole. I would definitely come back to try some traditional Italian pastries or some of their lunch items. Looked and smelled amazing! read more

They are an institution in Capri. They served the best gelato I had in my entire Italy trip. They even make their own waffle cones, right in front of you. Only in Italy ! Also lots of locals in this place. I badly wanted to try their baked stuff and they even seemed to have some yummy looking savory sandwiches etc.. . We had the pistachio and sour cherry gelato, both were to die for. Must go if you are in Capri. read more

Greatest ice cream ever! Long lines but they go quick. Just follow the trail of freshly made waffles to find it from the top of the funicular. Went 3 times in two day. Try the Doughey powdered things. It's a little like mochi balls. For lunch get the octopus salad, really tender. I would come back here just for the ice cream. read more

Stopped in here for coffee, iced and hot. Both were very good but I enjoyed this cookie with almonds more. It had the same flavors of a good Italian biscotti-baked fresh. We bypassed the long line outside, which was dedicated to their gelato and opted to sit in to enjoy our coffee. Small area but had a good vibe and service was good. The next day we lucked out with timing and a short line for the gelato. During the times we walked by, the line was always long. I got the coffee and Fantasia di Capri and hands down the latter was so much better. The coffee flavor was a bit too strong. Fantasia di Capri was definitely worth lining up for. read more

Awesome gelato. Great location, friendly service. At the end of the day, for gelato, it's all about the quality and the freshness of the ingredients. This place was awesome. If traveling in the Mediterranean check out some of the other reviews I have of gelato joints. If I were to come back to Capri I would for sure come here at least every day, probably twice or three times per day. read more

Excellent gellato n ice cream.. Very hard to describe but one of the bedt ice cream i tried. Not to sweet just right..

We ended just about every evening here for our midnight ice cream (gelato). You can't miss it. There's a long queue in front, regardless of the time of day or night, and you can always smell the freshly made cones cooking as you pass by. It is always worth the wait, anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the time of day and time of the year. You have to have the fresh cone at least once and the ice cream in a cup is just as good. Wonderful place to end any evening or just before the siesta at lunch time. This is a must visit on Capri! read more

The best gelato on the island of Capri! Freshly made cones with the creamiest and most flavorful gelato ever. Skip all the other touristy gelato places on the island and come straight here. read more

Lives up to the hype with its sumptuous gelato. The smell of the waffle cones cooking lured us to this place. The chocolate so rich, the frutti di bosco so fresh, it is such a treat! There are a million places to get gelato in Italy, but it's worth it to do your homework and go to the great ones. It really is better. read more

Gelato heaven and bread heaven. I come here every time! The staff so friendly I love love it here. Have to have a soft cone or even a lemon granita. Very fair euro prices. Perfect stop if you make it to the island read more

I wish I could rap.... Because I would write my first song on how epic this place is. We went 6-7 times in the 4 days we were in Capri. I was not allowed to go the last morning we were in town for fear of not being able to fit on the plane. You can smell the handmade sugar cones for blocks. BOOM!!!! read more

Authentic just like Mamma and Zia used to make. Cannoli, Cannoli, Cannoli. Well thats my favorite. Add a cafe and sit and enjoy! There is a line for a reason. read more

Best gelato of our entire trip, and the only time I got to have a gluten free cone! This little place serves gelato out of the front window of their shop, which contains a whole bakery too. They are making the (gluten) waffle cones right there on the spot, so you can smell the cones for blocks. We wanted to go back for a second round after dinner but were just too full. This is the spot in Capri for gelato. Don't be fooled by the similarly-named tourist trap in the marina - this one is just off the plaza in the heart of Capri town. read more

The gelato is fare, nothing special. You can find better gelato in places other than the island, such as in Naples. Although, they are quick to serve and the cones are fresh and delicious! read more

The gelato is exceptional and even better in a fresh handmade cone. But the real treasure here are the cookies. We had the lemon, pine nut and pistachio. They were not too sweet and the flavor of each was very pure with a wonderful texture. Like heaven! Also, don't waste your time sitting down in the many over priced cafes with underwhelming cuisine in Capris. The prepared food here was delicious and reasonably priced. We had an excellent frittata. read more

Delicious, convenient, and the smell of waffle cones being made filled the street -- it was heavenly.

We spent the day doing a tour on the island of Capri.... and what a day it was and what a place it was....! At the end of our day just before heading back to Positano, our guide lead us over to this nice popular Gelato business. We didn't go inside instead got in line outside where they were making fresh cones for Gelato. We all ordered fresh in different flavors. What a way to end our day in Capri.... A must place to stop if you want a treat.... read more

This was both mine and my husband's favorite gelato spot in Italy. I tried the Fantesie (sp?) di Capri and my husband tried the lemon sherbet, and we were impressed with both. The flavors and textures are spot on. And the cones are made fresh right in front of you. A must try little spot! read more

The best gelato in Capri! The lines were too long but worth the wait! The freshly made cones were delightful

Their gelato is absolutely delicious and the fresh made waffle cone is perfect with it! They have various deserts and sandwiches inside the restaurant! read more

Fabulous take away gelati. Delicious. I had one scoop of chocolate and one of coffee, both were fantastic. My wife had stracciatella and loved it. We both had waffle cones and they were delicious, crispy and sweet but not too sweet. And just 3 Euros each for a large cone with two large scoops of ice cream. A must visit. read more

This place deserves a 1,000 it is the best place to get ice cream in Capri for sure. The waffle cone is freshly baked and warm but not to warm that it will melt your cone. My family and I went there twice a day and almost went three times. The only down side (really it's not a downside because nothing is wrong with this place) about this place is that you can't try the flavors. It is probably because of people like me that want to try every flavor until I look like a pumpkin. Since I said Pumpkin they have pumpkin flavored pastries also. It is ice cream, gelato, pastries, and Italian food. This place can't get any better. Personally I have only tried the ice cream but the pastries look so good and the pizza looks spectacular. I hope you can stuff yourself like I did in Capri, Italy. read more

This place is unreal! Just stumbled upon Raffaele without knowing anything about it and thank goodness because I am an ice cream lover and it was one of the best ice creams (or more of a gelato actually) I've ever had. I had the coconut (which is what I usually order where ever I go) and it was to die for!! You mustn't leave Capri without stopping here! read more

Had it twice already and have been here less than 24 hours. Very good and not overtly expensive. Only negative is they don't allow trying.

Best. Gelato. Ever. Maybe I'm just hypnotized by the intoxicating smell of freshly made waffle cones in the street at all hours of the day (gelato at 10am definitely happened) but you cannot walk by this place and NOT get a cone. You can't go wrong but my favorite flavor was the fantasia di capri (I think). Do yourself a favor and always, always, always get the cone!! read more

The best gelato in Capri! The lines are long but go by quickly. The lemone, watermelon, strawberry, pistachio flavours are Devine. We went 3 nights in a row!! The freshly made waffle cones are so yummy too!! read more
