    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Caprese salad! The BEST!!!

    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.

    Marinated anchovies, paccheri al coccio, pizza with Parma ham, arugula, mozzarella, pommodoro, and limoncello!

    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.

In Capri, one simply has the Caprise salad. It was the perfect light lunch to celebrate my visit to this island. My waiter was friendly and I left revived from a 95°F day.

    Very nice proprietor and wait staff working in a clean, well run restaurant…read more There was an unfortunate and annoying child being very loud but that was not the fault of the restaurant, rather the parents. 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. Don't forget the chili flakes You will be quite content.

    La Fontelina is a gem of a restaurant/beach club that is in such high demand that we couldn't…read moresecure beach club reservations even months in advance. Nestled on the side of a cliff in Capri, is this lovely place. It took our group of 8 on quite the trek down the side of said cliff in the hot Capri sun. Well it was worth the hike because the view was spectacular and the food was phenomenal. We basically ordered the entire menu but the standouts for me were the scallops, the fresh raw oysters and the seafood risotto. Of course the seafood tastes like they got it right out of the ocean. The service was also beyond amazing. Whatever we asked for, it was there with minutes and the table was quickly cleared of empty dishes and my wine was replenished a satisfying amount of times. I'm sad we couldn't experience the beach club but the view helped with the FOMO...btw the hike back up the cliff was intense. I'm grateful I'm in somewhat decent shape. An alternative to the uphill hike is a water taxi from the restaurant which requires advanced booking.

    The best thing about this place is the views, so gorgeous! The ambiance is very quiet with no music…read moreat all, crowd was boring, staff at the beach club was super rude, the staff at the restaurant was a lot more friendly. No one at beach club asked if they could get you anything so you have to walk up and ask, chairs didn't recline. I wouldn't go back, lots of other beach clubs to check out in Capri.
