A must if you are visiting Capri! Though if you are afraid of heights, this one may not be for you…read more It's a chairlift that is continuously moving, and it slows down a bit for you to hop on, where a moveable metal bar acts as your protection from falling out of the chair. Though I made that sound pretty terrifying, it seems relatively safe. As long as you're not shifting about while you're up there, which you probably wouldn't want to anyway. Seats are for single riders, unless you have a small child, in which case, they'll have to sit on your lap. Tickets are €11 one way or €14 round trip. But I can't imagine why you would buy a one way. Perhaps you can hike up/down? But I didn't see anyone doing that. It takes about 7 minutes each way, and we spent maybe 30 minutes at the top taking pictures/walking around. There is a little cafe at the top, and a toilet but it costs €1. If you want to see Capri from way up above, this is the thing to do!

You really might be insane if you come to the island of Capri and don't ride the lift to the top…read more It is so worth the line and it's only about €14 a person. The views are mind blowing. You see a mix of everything. From the yachts out at sea to women hanging laundry in their backyards. Vineyards on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. Admittedly, I don't usually love heights, but at no point have I ever felt unsafe or nervous. The views are staggering. The cool breeze perfect and the floral scents too delicious. All of the senses are almost overwhelming. Don't miss out on this. Just do it

To get inside is 13 euro, but it's worth it especially your first time to Capri. The guys who are on the boat tell you the history of the Blue Grotto and do some singing also (I'll save the history for you to experience.) You aren't supposed to swim inside.. but they usually will let you anyways. They probably only let you spend about 20 minutes in here tops, because there's a constant rush of tour groups trying to get in. Come here by boat or if you are already in Anacapri, take a bus labeled Grotta Azzura and you are on your way!

Is this a tourist trap? Yes, absolutely, they know it and at every turn you are paying or tipping…read moresomeone. But, is this a must do experience? Yes, absolutely. I had to see that blue water for myself and I'm so happy I did it. Having been to Capri once before and not seeing the Blue Grotto, this trip we made sure to schedule this first thing in the morning and went with a private tour to simplify the process. Since it's popular and the grotto itself is small, there is often a long wait for your small boat to enter the cave. Especially in high season. Best advice, get there early, before it even opens at 9am otherwise you can wait 1-2 hours. That's waiting in a small boat in choppy waters! Also be aware that if the weather is bad and the water is too rough, the boats can't access the cave. We took a ferry from Sorrento to Capri then hopped on a boat that took the 25 of us over to the Blue Grotto. The ride there was about 15 minutes with beautiful views everywhere. We got there early before the cruise ship passengers and other tourists so the small boats and rowers immediately came over to us and explained the process which I will share, because if you are like me, the details matter. We sat on the edge of the larger boat and stepped down into the small boat with the help of the skipper and then immediately sat flat on the floor, legs stretched out. Each boat can hold 3 or 4 passengers based on weight,, 2 per side, and the second person sits within the legs of the first. Since we were the first boats this day, we didn't get wet but later in the day, I can imagine you will definitely be laying in water. The skipper took us over to a larger boat where you pay an entrance fee. After some discussion and showing proof that we already paid, they let us pass. Be prepared because they will try to get more money from you! The skipper then rowed us over to the cave entrance where we all had to lay flat as he grabs a metal chain attached to the inside wall of the cave and pulls the boat into the cave. It takes just a few seconds and then you can lift your head and marvel over the iridescent blue water inside. The water is as blue as the pictures, a result of the sunlight passing through an underwater cavity that shines upward creating a spellbinding blue color. It's truly one of natures miracles and wonders. The cave is small, much smaller than I envisioned. I assumed once we went through the opening it would be a large pool of water. It's not. It's a small area and there are 10 or 15 other boats and they row around in a circle. All of the skippers serenade their passengers but not in unison! It's quite an experience. It was challenging to get good pics inside. I recommend taking a video as that provided the best capture. After just a few minutes, the ride is done and you exit the cave, once again laying down. The skipper takes you back to the larger boat. This is when I got nervous wondering if I could get out without falling or tipping the boat! You step onto a wooden board that goes across the small boat, then sit on the edge of the larger and turn to bring your legs inside. Phew! Made it. The skippers are aggressive about tips but mine didn't have to be. I happily gave him $5 euros for the experience and for getting me out of the darn boat safely! So yes, it's touristy, but for me, it was a bucket list item and I'm happy I experienced it. Others in my group had been to Capri before and did the Blue Grotto so they passed and just spent more time exploring the shops and cafes. When I go back to Capri, I'll do the same as this is not something I have to experience twice.

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.

We started with the tuna tartare and Caprese salad. The tuna tartare tasted noticeably fishy, and unfortunately, my husband ended up getting food poisoning after eating it. The mozzarella in the Caprese salad was also chewy and not nearly as fresh as we expected in Capri. For dinner, I ordered the spaghetti with clams, which was more crunchy than al dente. My husband ordered the ribeye, which came with barbecue sauce that felt completely out of place for the dish. The restaurant seems to really lean into its celebrity reputation, with photos of famous people covering the walls, but honestly, the food did not live up to the hype. For the prices they charge, we expected a much better meal. There are so many better places to eat in Capri. We actually had a much better experience at Luce, which is literally a one-minute walk away. I would definitely recommend spending your money there instead.

And something happened the moment my wife and I sat down....We felt at home There were greetings, smiles, kindness and laughter happening all around us. It felt like everyone knew us--even though they didn't. And the best part was, And importantly, none of it felt rehearsed. No fake Italian hospitality. No theatrical nonsense. Just genuinely warm people who seemed happy you were there. From my side of the table, I could see the ocean. From my wife's side, she had a view of countless bottles of wine. Honestly, we were both pretty happy. And there, to my right in the kitchen, was Chef Umberto, with his perfectly triangular, closely clipped beard and thick, solid handlebar mustache. You couldn't miss him. The kind of face that tells you this man has opinions about food--and probably about everything else. Hahaha. Since it was so hot, I was dying for a chilled red wine. Not only did they offer me a glass, they brought me a selection to taste first. And that's when the party started. The staff had absolutely no problem talking, laughing and joking with us. I told Chef Umberto how excited I was to try his food. He laughed and told me he was just as excited. The burrata salad. The burrata was beautiful, but those tomatoes--Jesus. They were so fresh and so sweet they tasted like they had come straight from heaven. Why am I even trying to grow them at home? The tuna literally melted in my mouth. And then came the Linguine alla Nerano--which may very well have been one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. I've eaten a lot of pasta in my life. This one stopped me. The kind of dish that stays in your head long after the plate is gone. I still think about it. The wine that stood out was Pallagrello Nero. Absolutely amazing. And then there was Lilly, who made an espresso we will never forget. Pietro served our wine with an extra level of care and attention that you don't often experience. Thyra was another great asset to their team--funny, warm and a lot of fun to be around. When it was finally time to leave, we didn't want to. And that's probably the best thing I can say about Pulalli. And I honestly got the feeling that they would have been perfectly happy if we'd just stayed. They made us feel like rock stars.
