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.
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.
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!!
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.

First time trying this Gelato place in Capri and it was awesome. Not at all more or less expensive than anywhere else in the area (5 Euro for 2 scoops on a cone. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone in Capri. read more
Ordered: 1 Cone (~€5): 2 flavors - tiramisu & pistachio Aya's take: Definitely the place to stop and get gelato in Capri! So creamy, decadent, and delicious. Did I have this at 10:30am? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. The flavors were rich and actually complemented one another well. This is a great snack to grab and walk around the Capri shops. They do accept credit card. Check them out! read more
Best Gelato I've ever had in my entire life. Definitely not overrated, and the line moves very quickly. I traveled to 9 cities in Italy, and tried several gelato places, and this is by far my favorite. I had the melon and crema gelato and wowwww simply perfection. My friend loved his pistachio and crema gelato too.Would absolutely go back to Capri just for this Gelato. read more

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! read more
