We were given prosecco at our table and limoncello at the end of our dinner. Reminder to all Americans to chill, relax, and dont be impatient.

It was our last night in Capri and all my husband and I wanted was a special evening to commemorate…read morethe end of our wonderful holiday.... Little did we know "special" was not meant for us at the Caesar Augustus hotel restaurant. Instead we experienced a whole new meaning to the word "special" thanks to Francesco Signorini; the entitled prick "owner" at the Caesar Augustus property who acted like a spoiled 10 year old brat having a massive temper tantrum while all the hotel guests and restaurant patrons watched in horror. His tantrum was directed at US. It all started as we were lead down the steps to our table to be seated for dinner. I had requested an outdoor table with unobstructed view to watch the sunset on the terrace of the restaurant's namesake La Terrazza di Lucullo. Instead the hostess lead us past the desired location down another set of steps to a completely empty indoor room pool level that was dark and stuffy. Of course I protested and asked to be seated up at the Terrace per my request with the other diners but was told by the hostess that every table up there was for "a special reservation". I then inquired about the two outdoor tables outside the stuffy dark room and she said these were also for "special reservations". At that point I started getting upset and said, "We're special, we have a reservation... why can't we have an outdoor table that we requested"? In frustration we sat down at one of the outside tables to regroup and figure out our next move to call our hotel, the fabulous Villa Marina Hotel & Spa and speak with owner Federica Guarino. While speaking with Federica to see what she could do to help the situation, Francesco Signorini looms over us with puffed up ego and bellows, "I AM THE OWNER and you can't sit at this table! This is the Tiberius table!!" We explain the situation and instead of making any accommodation for us, he states "no no I will make a nice setting for you here at the pool". Keep in mind the pool area is totally empty and void of any restaurant ambience whatsoever. His suggestion was to make a single table out by the pool lounges for us to dine at which of course we denied. He was adamant that we take it, stating this is where his own parents (the real owners) dine. Finally after exhausting all efforts to honor our request, he finally succumbs into giving us the terrace table we wished for but that's when the tantrum happened... We were handed our menus at the table on the terrace while below Francesco Signorini set up the lone table poolside for I suppose the guests our table was intended. I think he finally realized that it was not optimal for anyone to dine there other than his parents and that's when he started shouting to us from the pool level up in front of all the terrace diners accusing me of being drunk (which he actually was) and making an enormous scene asking us if we're happy now?! I asked him to please drop it but he would not stop berating us in front of all the guests. The son of Caesar Augustus hotel owners Paolo and Patrizia Signorini should be absolutely appalled by their son's rude obnoxious behavior and total lack of hospitality as hotel guests and restaurant patrons watched in horror as he made lude gestures to my husband and I in a drunken rant to go "F"off" and ordered us to "GO!! Get out ....get out now!!! Leave .. go, go, go...!" Can you imagine?!? Francesco Signorini should be locked up for his disgusting behavior as a restaurant and property owner! We got up and left all the while he continued to shout at us and make lude hand gestures, thrusting them up and down his crotch while everyone watched stunned. Shocked and appalled we left Caesar Augustus and ended up at a restaurant we had our favorite dinner - La Zagara in Anacapri. Having only dined there once before it was so amazing how the staff knew exactly where we sat previously, what we drank, what we ate and treated us like royalty. What a stark difference in treatment!! True gracious hospitality at its finest.. La Zagora is a MUST! There are many, many beautiful places to watch the sunset in Capri. Please do yourself a favor... DO NOT go to the Caesar Augustus hotel and La Terrazza di Lucullo restaurant. They do not deserve your patronage.

Great views in a pristine setting. Try to reserve around sunset. Beautiful is an understatement.read more

Today, I had the "Vellutata di Zucca" which was delicate (not sweet) accented with pistachio nuts, field mushrooms and roasted garlic. A strange combination at the read and delicious to the taste. This was followed by the "Spaghetti Nerano" prepared with a pesto of zucchine and basil. Again, very nice and worthy of a "scarpetta" to finish off the sauce--the bread was perfect For dessert the Tiramisu was prepared with Amaretti cookies and a not too sweet cream .... A lovely Sunday late lunch. I recommend Sartu' with NO hesitation.

As with everywhere else I've seen in octtaviano, there's a group of men loudly talking and gesturing nonstop. They seemed to get a kick out of the fact I'm from Chicago. Very exotic. All the pizzas are made to order by hand. There's an big oven that takes up much of the space in shop and noticeably heats one of the walls. Knowing no Italian, I just said "mozzarella and salami" when I ordered. That worked. But looking at the menu there's a lot more choices than that. I noticed that fries on pizza is popular. Have to give these guys kudos for using real salami instead of pepperoni. Somehow I suddenly feel like I've been getting ripped off for years in the states. It's all made fresh by hand, was only €3.80. What's not to like. They even sell beer.
