    Owner of restaurant with my GF.

    Amazing food - fun staff. Owners is an awesome person! This is a must stop for dinner in capri. Classic Italian fun and hospitality. Guests often sing along to all great greatest music.

    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.

    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.

    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

    The top of the pizza! Margherita; deliciousness!

    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!

    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.

    Seafood pasta
    Iris H.

    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.

    The Fried Mozzarella with Capers and Anchovie sauce....
    Winfred S.

    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....

    Grilled octopus starter.
    Sean B.

    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.

    Burrata
    Bridget F.

    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.

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.

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.
