Our group of 8 ate here on our first night in Capri! We were the first table seated during dinner and after the space quickly filled up with diners. The servers were beyond attentive as we were figuring out the menu. We ordered a ton of dishes to share, as we always do. I did however order the braised short ribs and it was delicious. The grillled octopus was also a standout dish. Apparently, this restaurant is extremely popular amongst the starts. The walls at the entrance are adorned with loving photos of the rich and famous people that have dined at Villa Verde. The service was as exquisite as the food. I see why the people love it here. read more

The vibe at Villa Verde is fun and lively, but unfortunately, the food was very underwhelming, especially for the price. It felt extremely overpriced for what we actually received. 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. read more

I travel the world. Best pizza ever. Best fish ever. No doubt! Can't say enough! Highly recommended. read more

This restaurant offers one of the best pizzas I've had in Italy as well as some delicious cocktails. When we were visiting Capri, we were referred to this restaurant by our concierge. The staff was very friendly, the food was fantastic and the ambiance was comfortable in a garden setting. We had the grilled octopus, the carpaccio and margharita pizza and they were all delicious! Just thinking about the food and my cocktail drink Basil smash... I want to go back there again! read more

Ambience - 5 stars. The owner was there greeting the guests, the servers were so friendly and recommended amazing dishes. Every dish we tried we loved. This was my favorite restaurant in Capri I cannot wait to come back and visit again read more

Villaverde - Owner of restaurant with my GF. - Italian Near Me - Capri, NA

We lucked up on finding this restaurant as soon as it opened for lunch. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was like I just walked into Cheers! The food was amazing. My favorite was frito misto. It was perfectly fried, seasoned well, and not at all greasy. Everyone in my group raves about their dishes. It was great to see the pictures of all of the celebrities, performers. professional athletes. And politicians posted all over the restaurant. We sat in the covered patio area. The my entire experience here was magnificent. This restaurant is a must for me the next time I'm in Capri. read more

We always dine here a few times each year .. welcoming friendly staff, lovely outdoor patio areas .. good pizza, lobster pasta , calamari .. and happy, fun music ... A great vibe read more

If you are in Capri, this spot is a must. It's totally a vibe. Aside from this spot being famous for many celebrities that go there, the food, service and ambiance were all amazing. Towards end of our dinner, they started playing dance music and everyone started dancing and getting really fun. After a certain time, the downstairs of this place is a dance spot that's super fun. Overall I've never been to anyplace like this with such energy. Loved it and highly recommend. read more

Not it for us. Nice little patio and friendly staff, but the pizza was just not good. So many other great restaurants on Capri. Don't limit yourself to this place. Decent backup spot if you're shut out of other restaurants during the high season. read more

I looked for a place that fellow Yelps had a chance to review. This hit the spot. The seating outside was pleasant and comfortable. The food was also good. We made a couple request to change the ingredients on our pizza and the were very accommodating. We also asked for olives, WOW. Big green olives! For an appetizer we asked for melon and ham vs the cheese and ham on the menu. Also tasty. Make sure you give it a try. Might be a better dinner spot read more

5 Star food AND 5 Star service for me, averaged with 1 Star for the fact that a person at every single table surrounding me ON AN INDOOR PATIO people lit up smoking, causing me to almost have an asthma attack before dessert . But, if a cloud of second hand smoke isn't an issue for you, by all means go check it out! The wallpaper of celebrity photos as soon as you walk in was impressive. The owner was very present, seated everyone, and circulated and supervised. Ambience is dressy casual (in Capri most people seem to dress up for any "sit down" meal). The smoking did bother me, though. On mainland Italy we saw prevalent smoking in outdoor restaurant seating, but none in indoor areas (no longer allowed) but I guess in Capri anything goes? But on to the food: 1)When in Capri, get the caprese salad. This one was good. Could've done without the arugula tainting the center though. :) 2)Margherita pizza was soooo good. The dough/crush was delicious. The fresh mozzarella was fresh and creamy. Check out the lightly charred bottom in the picture. It was pizza genius. It came out in about 4 minutes!! 3)We has fresh pasta with shelled langostine (a special). I definitely recommend asking your waiter for the specials, what's fresh, and his recommendations. He didn't steer us wrong here. Sauce was flavorful, reminiscent of a seafood bisque. Pasta perfect aldente. 4)dessert- tiramisu was melt in your mouth delicious, but I wouldn't get the semifreddo again. We saw both tourists and "real Italians" eating here, so it was a good mix. I didn't see any tables not get bread, so I'm not sure what that one review was talking about. We arrived without a reservation dressed in sneakers, shorts, and t-shirts and had great service and got a bread basket, and it was super busy, but they squeezed us into a corner table anyway! read more

The staff was amazing, the food recommended was amazing, and the ambiance was amazing, too!!! We can't wait to come back!!

If you want to spend quality night with your friends or family definitely go there amazing food attentive service and fun atmosphere.

Loved that place! We went for my birthday and we got all the waiter to come and sing for me with lighting huge sunglasses and wigs!! It was super fun and a very nice touch! The only reason why I am giving this a 3 star is because our cod was frozen and not cooked properly, I regretted so much selecting that fish, it was a mistake. But the caprese salad was good. The pulpo/octopus was good but not the best I had, lack of spices. So great setting and service but the food quality could be better. The good thing is they have a bar downstairs, so it is super convenient to go out dancing after your dinner, you will also see some of the servers there after they are done with their shift. The dinner was expensive for what we got. read more

Villaverde was our dine like an Italian night. This meant a relaxed, 4 hour dinner where we talked, drank and enjoyed ourselves. They have an extensive menu so we started out with an octopus salad. One of the things that's great about this salad is it's not like the typical 'fried calamari' pieces you might get in the states. The octopus was sizable pieces cooked to a light perfection and mixed with greens, crushed toast and more. A really nice starter for the evening. Next, we got the first course. My friend got the shrimp risotto and I the seafood pasta. Both were amazing but I did like the risotto best. There were small shrimp pieces in the risotto and whatever liquid they used incorporated a smooth shrimp flavor onto every bite. Throughout the meal we had a light and dry rose that paired well with the seafood. After the pasta we ordered some dessert and limoncello. We then had another kind of digestive liquor similar to amaretto but not as sweet. This evening was fantastic overall and the waiters were very nice. They showed us a disco club below the restaurant and gave us complimentary limoncello. Although the price is higher than you'd expect given the quality of the food, it's a good place to go to see the nightlife and people. read more

The food here was so so good -- it had the makings of five-star quality! Honestly, this meal would have been my favorite of my entire trip to Italy if it hadn't been for the absentee service. The space is beautiful, and in the evening, the restaurant was packed! It was clearly the place to be, and I'm so glad our hotel recommended having dinner here! My pasta pomodoro was amazing, as was my mom's ravioli, but the burrata appetizer was the best of all. It's not the typical Italian-sized portions here, but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. The only slight bummer, as I'd mentioned, was the service. They seemed to have forgotten about us, and I had to ask several times about my glass of wine until it finally came when we were completely done eating. Bigger groups seemed to get more attention, and same with the many many people who seemed to be celebrating birthdays. But I'd still come back because the food was THAT good. To note: Villa Verde has both gluten free pasta and pizza! read more

We went to this place during our tour of the island of Capri. It was recommended by our tour operator in Positano. We went on October 31, at the end of the season. The food was OK but I had better at our hotel. The wait staff was not that attentive and we had to ask for bread, olive oil, and balsamic (which was thicker and more syrup like than usual). We had the fired mozzzarella with capers and anchovie sauce and pizza. There are pictures of many famous people that have been here. That seemed to be the main high light.... read more

Fine parts of meal, but I just felt better food and value in the Amalfi Coast restaurants. Everything in Capri other than our hotel (mid-May visit) seemed an extra bit costly. Island is still worth a couple day visit as has excellent paths and views, and no reason not to eat here. There for lunch. Owner? and waiters who are in a majority of the hundreds of pictures they have up on the walls were there at the time. Grilled octopus salad had large chunks of it, and got slightly chewy. Not bad, but "least good" of two Italian trips. Wife's sea bass didn't seem as fresh as others. My spaghetti w/ clams had a surprising amount of butter. Will say the white chocolate rolls included with a couple of deserts were excellent. Yelp map does not show it in right place. Google straight will get you there, barely, and there is at least one of the porcelain name tiles pointing to it located by the corner of Emanuel and Orta. read more

Our tour guide, possibly getting a kickback, overtly recommended the entire group eat at Villa Verde and she would be hanging out there during our four or five hours of free time on the island. Boy, was she right! There is something about authentic pizza in a wood/coal fired oven served with only the best ingredients from around the island and region. We ordered two pizzas, the fresh seasonal salad, and my son ordered his second or third eggplant parmigiana. He ate a few pieces of pizza too. The Margarita pizza was as always in Italy, dressed with the most simple but flavorful local ingredients. The extra love and experience in this pizza shows through and through. The tomato sauce was some of the best I have ever had. Just the sauce would have made the best pizza. When you add basil, and fresh local mozzarella... oh my! The second pizza was local ham, mozzarella, parmigiana, mushrooms, artichokes, and a few ingredients I forget. The ingredients blended together so well, we thought pizza might be ruined forever, in the states. Next time we have a friend or we just revisit Capri, you will see us again! Just around the corner you could see so many of the ingredients being grown to perfection. It was so hot a humid the cold local Rose wine hit the spot. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner here while in Capri!! Their bread with olive oil and balsamic was the best we had on the island. The bread came warm and it was just perfect! The burrata appetizer was OUTSTANDING. Everything about it was just right. I'm still thinking about it. We ordered the margarita pizza with spicy salami -- it was good, but not nearly our favorite pizza in Italy. It was also bigger than normal so we split it. The service was great. Warm and kind as always in Italy. read more

Wow! Loooved this restaurant. The entrance is full of pictures with the owner. Clearly a celebrity place. The restaurant is beautiful in itself. They have models walking around the restaurant while you eat showing you the nicest Italian clothes. The food was sooo great and delicious! We ordered the truffle pizza, the king prawns, and the caprese salad. All was to die for. The service was great and the ambience was chill. Very cool place. Will definitely recommend and come back! read more

My husband and I were on a tour of Italy for our honeymoon one of our stops was capri. We decided to go off from the group and wanting some good and real Italian food we looked up some reccomendatio a on yelp. Everyone's recommendation on here is quite correct Casa Verde is pricy (for lunch standards/ no difference in Italy that I have seen), however if you are from a big city in the US there prices are on par. Ps Capri is a pricy city like all big cites in US (Miami, NYC, Chicago). However the food was worth every penny we spent. It was the best food we have had so far. The caprese salad was to die for. We have had it everywhere we have gone so far and here was the best. Their restaurant personal balsamic was the best thing about the restaurant if it wasn't uncouth to stick it in my purse and run!!! I would have. My husband had the seafood pasta and loved it. I the pasta with tomatoes also very well cooked. All in all an amazing atmosphere ( so beautiful on the back terrace, it is what restaurants try to achieve , but can't) amazing food, and the prices were on par for big cities in the US read more

Alright. This is my favorite restaurant on the island. The first time I went here was for my cousin's rehearsal dinner. She got married on the island so we were there for a few days. After the rehearsal dinner, the place was so good that we returned there for dinner twice again before leaving Capri. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Its definitely off the beaten path. There are quite a lot of stars who favor this place as it is very hidden with spectacular food and service. I have been back there over the years and each time I have been there, the food, wine, service, and atmosphere have been awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant for amazing food, a very hidden gem on Capri, a romantic lunch or dinner, and definitely a good place if you want something off the beaten path. When I say this restaurant is dressy, just wear something nice that fits the Italian vibe. Smart Casual would be my best recommendation but you can get a feel for it when you get to Capri. The prices are slightly higher than normal but for this type of restaurant, with the fresh food, and the fact that its on Capri explains the prices. read more

This was recommended by our tour guide and we were cautious at first but pleasantly surprised. We had THE best Caprese (duh, it's named after the island) and pizza of our entire trip!! read more

Outstanding seafood, pizza and pasta. I had black truffle pasta and my wife had fresh octopus. My son had a margarita pizza. All were delicious. No wonder all the rich and famous eat here! read more

By far one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Capri! It was sooooo good we had dinner there, and ended up going for lunch again the next day. We might even go again before we leave today. The mozzarella - caprese is UNREAL! The most amazing mozzarella we have ever had in our life!!!!!! The pizza was delicious and the truffle spaghetti was incredible. Writing this review is making my mouth water. You need to try this place if you're in Capri. Even if just for the mozzarella. You will thank me. Trust!!!! And the staff is great. I would recommend going for dinner around 9:30-10. read more

One word: pizza!! We loved it so much we ordered a pizza for takeaway instead of dessert. Also delicious is the fried calamari and spaghetti with clams.

I ate here a while ago, and it is one of the top restaurants here for high quality service and food for small and large groups. They had seating Arrangments inside and outside, and they serve traditional italian food for big families, served the Italian way (in big dishes in the center) which was a unique touch. read more

Very good food with the indifferent service that I have now experienced at two of capris finest restaurants. The food is worth the high prices but the attitude is not necessary. Plus there was a 30 euro service charge and couldn't find our server. Cool crowd for people watching. read more

We're on our honeymoon. Husband got sick from the Octopus salad here. All he ate all afternoon so we know that's what it is. We've been cooped up in our hotel room all day instead of going on our boat tour and enjoying the beautiful city. For the number of photos of celebrities they have around the city and their restaurant entrance you think they'd take more pride in their food and ingredients (as true Italians do). Lame and selfish. How about you get over your ego of plastering your face around town and focus on making good product that doesn't make your clients sick. Just a thought. read more

Loved the great service and the food. I wish there were more places like this in the USA. My wife's pizza was perfect. The octopus salad was very good as was the simple green salad. They also make a healthy cocktail... Very helpful! read more

Nice place to have lunch or dinner. We tried this place cause there were pics of it all over with celebs. Seems to be Maria Carie's spot. Would of gave it 5 stars if there was a better view. Food was good, had spaghetti and clams. read more

Food was okay. Make sure you eat before you go, the portions are for little babies. Oh yeah and the waiters were all snobby. Not one smile.

What a nice resturant you need to book before deciding to go there since it is a busy one. Don't miss their Pizza

It is so bad than I expected.Service is awful for a tourist.Price is so expensive and I don't recommend this restaurant.
