    Caprilu Al Limone cookies, really tender inside, like lemon bars.
    Amber E.

    Definitely one of the best gelatos we had on this 2-week trip to Europe. Interesting flavors, too. And their home-made waffle cones are so tender, crispy and delicious! I had the Fantasia di Capri - which was AMAZING - nutella, almonds, and one other thing; then the pannacotta. Also really good. In the morning, I came by to try their lemon cookies, "Caprilu al Limone" (so delicious - really moist inside, like a lemon bar); the pistaccio cookie was excellent, too. As was the almond cookie (crispier, like a biscotti w/ toasted almonds) and the little lemon cake, "capresina al limone." I'm not usually a dessert person, but this little shop converted me! Good thing it's not located close to home, this could be deliciously dangerous!

    Gelateria Buonocore is located on a side street off the main plaza of Capri. Their claim to fame is serving up the best gelato on the island. Their waffle cones are freshly made and have a wonderful aroma as the batter hits the griddle. I settled on a 3 scoop cup. 3 scoops (4.50 euros) - I went with pistachio, chocolate hazlenut, and tiramisu. All of the gelato here is rich and creamy and tastes incredible! I can definitely see why it is the best on the island! Overall I was impressed with the gelato here. This is the gelato shop to go to on Capri. Expect to stand in long lines here, especially on a hot summer day. Service is on the slower side as there is only 1 person scooping out the gelato.

    One of the better gelato spots we had in Italy which is saying something because they're all pretty great! The flavors here were spot on. The waffle cones are also made fresh (you will probably see one of the employees making them real-time), so it's not just the gelato that is super tasty. I think they sell other desserts inside but most everyone just waits outside for the gelato takeout window. And, while there is always a line, it's efficient / will move quickly. Promise! We came here a few times during the two days we were in Capri.

    Pistachio & pignoli nut cookie - yum!

    On a street off of the main plaza, this pacherrria was deliciously fresh. Frittata with vegetables was perfectly seasoned. They also serve other lunch foods to eat there or take away, which all looked delicious. Pistachio cookie, lemon cookie, and pignoli cookie - oh my. Lemon was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The pignoli cookie was so flavorful and delectable - crunchy and full of pignoi nuts. It is crowded and for a good reason. Delicious! *This review was part of a 10-day eating binge, I mean vacation with my mother. The summary here reflects both of our opinions*

    Buonocore Raffaele Gelateria is a Capri institution with the rich and famous standing in line with the rest of us to get their gelato. Certainly among the best you will find in the region. Also a bakery, Buonocore Raffaele Gelateria makes their own waffle cones while you wait so there are none better. If you are on Capri, get in line. It is worth the wait.

    Last October I traveled to Capri and stopped at this gelateria because it had a long line and you can smell the deliciousness from far away. I thought, it must be good? And yes! It definitely was the top three gelato I've ever tried. The waffles are freshly made and the gelato was soo tasty and creamy. Also, this area is very nice to grab your gelato and walk around with cute shops and restaurants.

    Ball of goodness!!

    This is the best dessert I've come across in my Italy travels thus far. Its a MUST stop. The cones are freshly baked handmade, you can smell all the deliciousness as you walk up the street to Buonocore (smells like Disneyland and Cinnaholic at once :) The gelato itself is well perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess, along with the feeling that these gelato recipes have been perfected over decades. It's simply that good. Didn't expect to have to wait in a long line on an island but I can see why. It goes without saying that its worth the wait and the line moves swiftly. Now, here's the thing - its not just all about their gelato. They have other desserts as well such as lemon tarts and other confections. My favorite is something I've never seen anywhere else -- the Pistacchini. It's a pistachio dessert that is a ball of goodness and I love pistachios so this really blew me away. Can't get enough of this place, will definitely swing by before I tuck myself in and say goodnight every day!!

    Lemon gelato

    There's a line for this place for a reason. The Lemon Gelato I had was some of the best I've ever had. They make the waffle cones right in front of you too, and they still warm when they put the ice cream in. The wife and I also tried their lemon almond cookies and focotta bread with mushrooms. The focotta was soft and delicious, and the lemon almond cookies were so good. All around a good experience both times visiting.

    Great gelato place in Capri! They had many options and also several unique flavours as well. We were stopped by the aromatic and fresh smell of the waffle cones and quickly got into line! The wait was not long since the workers worked really fast. Delicious!

    See all

    Lovely! They make the waffle cone fresh and is just warm enough, when they serve your gelato in it. Highly recommend!
