Overall experience: 10/10 Food ~ 10/10 The lemon risotto was delicious!! Incredibly creamy and rich with lemon. The risotto itself was chewy and the perfect consistency. Caprese salad is a MUST!! The tomatoes were so fresh and mozzarella was so juicy and moist. The pastas were all so chewy and fresh! They hand make their pastas and you can definitely tell. The dishes itself were a tad salty but if you pair it with some drinks on the side, it will be perfect. Service ~ 10/10 Came in on Wednesday @12 pm and there were only a few customers. The employees were very inviting and showed us the fish of the day before serving it to us! As tourist, I felt extremely welcomed and definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Very good food. Off the beaten path a bit, so had more of that authentic Italian feel. Pizza was great

We walked here in the rain and it was so worth it! The restaurant is so cute and quaint, the service was great, and the food was AMAZING. The best part was as we were walking out, a woman handed us shots of homemade limoncello to try which was soooo good, best limoncello we had on the entire trip. read more

I could not speak highly enough about Lo Sfizio. The staff here are incredible - they are funny, personable, and so welcoming. We felt like family. The food was AMAZING. The best caprese salad on the island and matched a place we went to in Milan where it was perfect. We also had the lemon rissoto and lemon veal chicken and both were perfection. We could go on and on about the restaurant but we will say - do not pass this one up. It is authentic, welcoming, comfortable, casual, perfect. We are so grateful to have found this gem I had to write a review. Enjoy your time in Capri! read more

WOW! Lo Sfizio is a gem! On our two week trip to Capri, this restaurant was one of the very few we frequented for lunch - and we tried everything. Right outside of Capri's busy center, on a cute little side street you will find this welcoming little oasis. Come to relax, stay for the best pizza on the island and cold drinks on their little outdoor patio or in their spotless, air conditioned dining room. This lunch pairs very well with a walk to Villa Jovis or the ruins of Tiberius' Villa. We loved Capri so much and plan on coming back a lot in the future. When we do, we will always visit Lo Sfizio. read more

This place was amazing!! We came right when they opened and they gave us fresh bread that was to die for. They also were super nice with adding modifications to meals for everyone's preference. The vibe was nice and they had outside seating too! There were a lot of mosquitoes around which was annoying but it was still very clean. The service was also amazing and they were so nice! read more

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights in Capri. We happened upon this restaurant on our second day for lunch and were sad not to find it sooner. It was truly our favorite restaurant in all of Capri. Diego and Pepino were exceptional and incredibly nice/attentive. We came back on our last night dinner for a delicious experience we will not soon forget. The pasta is fresh, pizza second to none and caprese salad had honestly the best mozzarella we have ever had. 11/10 can not recommend this place enough! read more

So good we went back twice. The Staff is by far the friendliest and attentive out of all the restaurants I've been to in Europe. The food is absolutely amazing and will make you return for a second round. Their Pasta is cooked perfectly, the flavor combination in the sauce is immaculate. The restaurant has outdoor seating, would recommend if it's still sunny outside. If not, their i door seating is classy and pristine. I cannot rave about the service enough, we had around 4 staff members checking in and attending to our every need. Please go visit if you want the best dinner ever, with amazing prices!! read more

Excellent food (both pizza and pastas) and fun patio experience! Loved our server - very good with the recommendations and attentive to get us out of there before the rainstorm hit! read more

For our dinner in Capri we decided to try Lo Sfizio. What a find! We sat outside where the wait staff and pedestrians shared the sidewalk. The wait staff joyfully interacted with the families who live nearby. I felt like we were part of the community. We tried the lemon risotto as an appetizer. It was delicious! (I really need a lemon cookbook now!). For the main course I had homemade pasta with zucchini, bacon, Parmesan, and cream sauce. So very good! My husband had the baked half-chicken with potatoes. He made a happy plate! My recommendation: find this place and enjoy a wonderful meal experience away from the tourist crowd! read more

I came to Lo Sfizio with my family (5 adults and 1 child) while visiting Capri for an afternoon. We came in via the ferry (from Naples) and hiked up the 1.5km pathway from the port to get here. It was VERY easy to navigate using google maps and the walking path is both paved, beautiful and well kept. It does get steep at times (you also have the option of taking the fernicular / monorail if you don't want to walk it) but we enjoyed getting (very) sweaty during the hike up. The views along the way were spectacular. We loved this restaurant. This is why: -As soon as we walked in (around noon) it was fairly empty and we were immediately greeted and seated. -I love drinking prosecco and they were VERY prompt at taking our drink orders and bringing us really tasty cold wine (that was very inexpensive). -They had bathroom facilities that were very clean so it was great to wash my hands (and my sweaty face). -They speak fluent english. Not every waiter does, but the waiter that helped us was adequately fluent and very helpful. He took his time explaining the menu, the highlights, where the food came from (the calamari was fresh that day, for example). And WOW, it was... -MUST order: the calamari (especially if it's fresh). The pasta. A must. The pizza was great, different from how we're used to it having it served (it was a margherita pizza heavy on the cheese but without sauce. I'm used to it the opposite). Still delish. Pasta is on point. Highly recommend it. -For the area, it was relatively inexpensive. -The location is 'further' than the main drag of restaurants, and we welcomed the less crowded area and the more attentive service. Would I recommend it? YES! read more

Disappointed on the upswell /up charge without communicating. Wanted a side dish of vegetables the waitress turned it into a platter and charged for 4 buffets (40 euro extra ) then innocently asked for a local wine (6 euro in the super market charged $40. We had to be exact small salad , 1order mussels , 1order of anchovies bottle of water1 bottle of wine 2 grappa $24 and 1 dessert$8 . Bill total 172 euro ! That's ridiculous. I come to Italy @5-6x a year and this was probably the biggest ripoff. It's worse because we had eaten there prior @ 5years ago with familiar faces and a warm greeting, didn't think we would be suspect to that extra bill padding! better to go around the hill 5 mins to Grottello and see views of the Amalfi Coast and eat a robust meal and spend less ! read more

By far my favorite restaurant in Capri. We ate dinner here twice and then lunch on our last day because we could not get enough of their fabulous food!! Not sure what to order? Let the chef or waiter guide you... even on the wine selection. You will not be disappointed. Everything was so fresh and incredibly flavorful. Their Diavola(sp?) wood fired pizza was to die for. My kids ordered one each and my nibble turned into a full slice. The homemade pasta with shrimp and fresh burrata was the Italian pasta experience I had been longing for but had yet to find until I came here. Ahhhh! The caprese hands down the best! You only need to add salt, pepper and their quality olive oil. Trust me and skip the balsamic. A bit of a walk... 15 minutes from the city center, up hill. Take your time and enjoy the stroll to avoid arriving as a sweaty mess like I did the first night and it is SO SO SO worth the walk. My mouth is watering. I can't wait to return. read more

Had my first meal there last evening. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly . The food clearly well described as Italian street fair exceeded my expectations. The stuffed zucchini flower was light and very tasty with a solid red sauce. We had the Veneto flank steak sandwich which was my favorite very tasty well prepared and filling. The chicken parm sandwich was also good but next time will try another chicken or sausage sandwich as all looked quite good. Will be back and recommend read more

I literally never write reviews, but this place delivered maybe the best meal of my life! The environment, service, pure love of food and people! The recommendations from wine, mozzarella, pizza, pasta, desert were perfect read more

This family owned establishment, off the beaten path, came very highly recommended from our concierge. Our experience was adequate. The walk was long and uphill, and I'm not sure the food was worth it. The staff was lovely and accommodating. Portions were large. read more

Some of the best pasta we've had during our 2-week trip to Italy (Rome, Capri, Amalfi Coast, Naples). We tried 2 pastas (Casarecce della chef and Pachheri "Lo Shizio") along with a zucchini & mint side dish. All very good read more

Service was so good. I think our waitress was Regina? But everyone worked together and it was all perfect. Food was amazing. Cute outdoor patio. Felt less touristy than many other restaurants nearby. Worth the 15 minute walk from the center plaza. Wine was delicious. Could eat here every night. read more

If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Capri and don't own a yacht, million dollar house, or a car that costs more than my house, then go off the beaten path and find Lo Sfizio. It's not even that far from the central piazza (just look for the signs on the tiles and follow them), and you will be rewarded with a great place where locals eat! We chose to sit indoors to avoid mosquitoes, but they do have a nice outdoor area. There is also a playground next to the restaurant where we saw parents drop off their kids while eating outside. Service was one of the best we had on the island with waiters who actually care about your dining experience. Food: -Caprese salad: I pretty much ordered this everywhere I went on Capri since it's what they're known for. Lo Sfizio serves a great buffalo mozzarella--soooo creamy! -Caprese ravioli: Are you sensing a theme here? They give you a good portion of ravioli and even though it's really just cheese ravioli, it was still very good. The ravioli had a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce wasn't acidic. -Calzone (sfalatini): I don't remember the name of which one we ordered, but it had ham and cheese in it. The calzone was really big and could easily be shared among 2 people. It was fine, not terrible, but not amazing either. In hindsight, we should've tried one of their pizzas instead. read more

So nice we ate there twice! Two nights in a row. Just returned from Capri and enjoyed my meals in Italy (we were also on the Amalfi coast) at Lo Sfizio. Just get ready for a trek. It's about a good twenty minute walk from Piazza Umberto with major inclines. The upside is you will be walking off all the calories you'll be taking in! On the first night I had the small fried appetizer plate, average and a little heavy but my entree, the "chef" pasta (smoked cheese with sausage and eggplant served with spaghetti) was AMAZING. This dish was the reason we returned. On the second night we had the caprese salad (mozzarella and cherry tomatoes) which was the BEST I've had. The cheese and tomatoes were absolutely fresh and savory. We cleaned our plates and were totally guilt free knowing that we couldn't replicate this gastro experience anywhere else. I took a star off since we were seated outside the main dining area next to a fence which was a little dark and not as nice. Otherwise all was on point including the service-down to the complimentary yummy limoncello they give you as a send off. read more

This is off the beaten track so not as crazy expensive. The staff is nice and welcoming. We had pasta fatta di casa so everything was homemade. The smoked mozzarella pasta was good but a bit heavy. My husband's pasta Vongole was great. My sons pasta with bacon and Parmesan was good too. We ate there twice because of the service and the food. read more

This is our 2nd trip to Italy, our first in Capri. Thanks to yelp, we discovered Lo Sfizio. It was a bit of a walk from the town center but totally worth it! They clearly specialize in pizza as we saw non-stop take out orders being picked up by locals. The majority if not all of their diners while we were there were locals which is the key to finding authentic cuisine. We had the marinated anchovies, paccheri al coccio (homemade macaroni with scorpion fish filleted tableside), pizza with parma ham, buffalo mozzarella, pommodorro and arugula. Every single bite was yum! And yes, we over ordered but ate everything anyway. They also served us with homemade limoncello to finish off our meal and generously left the whole bottle with us! Our server, Lucia, was charming, funny and efficient. We love talking to locals when we travel which allows us to truly appreciate the culture and people. We sat outdoors which was lovely and fun to people watch as we saw local residents walking by to merely say "ciao!" or picking up cartons of pizza for the familia's dinner. Don't waste your money on the more expensive fancy restaurants. Come here for a delicious and authentic experience. The night before, we dined at the fancy Terrazza Brunella and if I had known better, I would've spent my euros at Lo Sfizio for a repeat meal. read more

Dine here for all your meals in Capri and don't go anywhere else! We spent a week on the Amalfi coast and this was the best restaurant, actually the best Italian food I've ever had anywhere. And the prices are super reasonable for what you get. We went 3 times in 2 days and may go back to Capri just to eat here again! We always order the diavola pizza to start, and upgrade to buffalo mozzarella and add mushrooms. It's probably the best pizza I've ever had. We ordered a few pastas too and all were amazing. On our last Day, we asked if we could order half portions of the pasta so that we could try two different ones, and they let us do that. My husband and I rarely eat pasta in London or the USA, but the food is so fresh here that we never felt bloated or heavy afterwards. Wish they had cooking classes! Can't wait to go back one day! Tip: don't fill yourself up on the bread basket! Save your calories for pizza :) read more

We spent most of the day climbing up to the Tiberius castle or monument and also to the Villa Lysis. on the way back at about 2:30 PM, we were starving and we stopped here for lunch. Everything tasted delicious. We had pizza and a beer. It was all fine and we enjoyed it. It is a great stop on your way back from climbing up the hill. read more

Gotta hike quite a bit to reach this place... Service was average, the servers appear to be more chatty when talking to Italians. Caprice Salad was awesome, huge tasty mozzarella ball in the middle with beautiful sweet local tomatoes. HIGHLY recommended. Then Pizza (4 ingredients) was okay, had better in naples... The pasta was al dente and nice. In all honesty we probably could order better dish as the Caprice salad was worth every € read more

Lo Sfizio is one of the more popular restaurants in Capri and defintely was our best meal here. The food is of great quality and taste but you definitely will need reservations unless you want to wait in line. There's not a ton of places open to eat at in Capri at night time, so this was a good spot to have dinner on the patio with a nice bottle of wine. I love pasta and they do not skimp or disappoint here. The pizza was better than what I had in Naples to be honest. We came based on the reviews but it really was delicious. The short rib was so tender and flavorful, its a must try! read more

After touring Villa Jovis we stopped by for fritto misto, diavolo (pepperoni) pizza and rigatoni. A MUST when visiting Capri. It's up a hill a bit out of the town center but if you don't mind a nice walk you will be rewarded. Nice people and a well run establishment. read more

My favorite meal while on Capri! It was so good we had to go back and try other menu items on our last day of the trip. If you're only on the island for one day, this should be on your list. It's a hike to get up to this hidden gem, but worth it! The spaghetti was delicious, but my favorite was the 1/2 pizza 1/2 calzone. They have a great staff that makes you feel like family. Try the lemonchello spritz as well! read more

Charming restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff. Food was great. Tried 2 different pastas (both homemade) that were delicious and had so much flavor! The waitress suggested something we had never tried before - sfilatini which turned out to be a great suggestion as an alternative to pizza. (Kind of like a folded up pizza where all the ingredients were on the inside). Complimentary limoncello shots at the end of the meal also! read more

Lo Sfizio is a bit off the beaten path within Capri. That is to say it's not in the main area, but 10 minutes walk from Piazza. We went there looking for family style restaurant. And that's precisely what we found - with center prices!! The location was across two sides of the street. There were lots of waiters and they were all nice but English language was limited to few of them. But in general they were helpful and efficient. The risotto was good but not great (Risotto with Lemon), the Veal was good but not great. The rest of the food on the table was similar. Maybe we were extremely spoiled with great food elsewhere but the food didn't stand out. The bill was expensive for my taste. I paid same price as I have elsewhere. So price can't be a reason to visit Lo Sfizio. If you're bored of the main area, it's a good alternative but else no need to walk up hill... read more

We ate here on a rainy afternoon, after asking our luxery hotel to recommend an off-the-beaten path restaurant. He said this was the place as long as you weren't expecting views. Nope, just good food. Cozy, crowded, and delicious. The sauteed zucchini was a highlight I'm still trying, to no avail, to recreate! read more

Forget the overpriced tourist restaurants -- walk to the top of the hill where the locals go to eat and enjoy some of the best Italian cuisine with some must-try local dishes. Locally owned -- the wife is a waitress and the husband is the chef -- this restaurant is a bit of a hike up the hill into a neighborhood. It seems that you are on a road to nowhere until you reach the top where there is indoor and outdoor seating and torches making it an exotic evening setting. A must try is the local wrapped pizza (I forgot the name of the dish -- I think it might be named after the restaurant). It is like a calzone with the ingredients wrapped inside but longer, and definitely a full meal. I had asked a local in the town for directions to another guide-book well-rated restaurant (Aurora on Via Fuorlovado) but it was full of over-the-top millionaire wannabes and an extremely over-priced menu. We started wandering further up the hill and another local recommended this restaurant. Later we saw the first local bringing his family there to eat, so it seems to be a favorite among the locals, and well-deserved. Again, it is a steep walk, but well worth it! read more

Thought this was one of the better overall meals and values during a multi-city Italy trip. Solid home made pasta with seafood, Napoli style of pizza, nice wine list, desserts. This review isn't about describing every dish, just that if you're on Capri and have a couple dozen odd choices, this is a good one, but is an uphill hike to get there. Didn't feel like an overpriced ripoff which you do tend to find on the island. Maybe the hike is the sacrifice for a good meal. No pain, no gain. read more

Many of the affordable restaurants in Capri are homogenous in taste, probably because of one shared restaurant supplier or something. However, the dinner I had at Lo Sfizio's was fresh, flavorful, and probably the best sit-down-meal I had in Capri! The outdoor seating is also particularly classy. An overall lovely experience. read more

What a gem. A local recommended this place to us. It's 5-10 minutes from the main square in Capri. Would have never found it if not for the recommendation. This place is special. Caprese Salad was incredible. Possibly the best I had in all of Italy. My pasta was fantastic. We split sautéed mushrooms and a plate of sautéed broccoli rabe loaded with garlic. My wife had strips of chicken cooked in a balsamic sauce and sliced tomatoes. Everything was exceptional. Waiter was very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced especially for Capri and the quality. read more

Top 2 restaurants in our 2 week tour of Italy! The food and wine was simply fantastic! The walk from the Piazza Umberto in Capri is definitely worth it! Family run business, very friendly staff, we felt so welcome which isn't always the case in some restaurants in Italy. Highly recommend this place! We had steak, pasta, pizza's, and seafood...everything was 5 stars! The wine recommended by our waiter was fabulous...and was not expensive... read more

The best meal we had in Italy! This is hidden away up the hill a bit but we were recommend the stop by our air bnb host and are so glad. We had to go back our last night on the island for a second round because we knew we would dream of this food after leaving. Atmosphere is great and felt so authentic- we tried the calamari, pasta and pizza. It was all incredible but we were especially in love with the half pizza/half calzone (best of both worlds!) We ate a lot of pizza in our time in Italy and this is the best we had. Please visit this place if you ever have the chance (I will be back!) read more

By far the worst service I have received in a long time!! I made a reservation based on the reviews of the Yelp community. I was staying in Capri and made a reservation at 7pm when the restaurant opens. We arrived on time, I noticed the place was 95% empty, they did not ask about my reservation, so I mentioned I had one and would like to sit at the available table for two by the window (Note:3 tables of 2 in a row) The owner interjected and directed the waitress to give us another table because a table of four would be coming later and will sit there. I insisted there was enough room for us to sit at the window and for the party of four to sit next to us. The owner then changed saying it was a party of six. We sat at another table and within 15min he sat a party of two at the table I requested. Within 5min of that he sat another two couples in the remaining two top tables. I asked him "What happened to the party of four or six?" He responded saying that the couple specially requested the table earlier. He did not answer my question, at that point I didn't believe him. Why lie and say you have a party of four or six coming, why give a story about this couple special requesting the table earlier. If that were the case he would have said from the start that the table I requested was reserved. I do not recommend this place. read more
