Restaurant
La Fontelina is a stylish beach club restaurant with stunning sea views and a charming thatched-roof pergola, specializing in delectable seafood dishes. Situated right at the water's edge, it offers an array of fresh vegetable creations alongside its seafood offerings. As a lido, it provides easy access to the deep blue waters for a relaxing swim.
La Fontelina is such a unique and relaxing spot in Capri — definitely worth the visit! You can get there by boat or walk about 0.4 miles down a steep path and concrete stairs (be prepared for the climb back up!). The restaurant had great food and friendly service — make sure to book a reservation in advance. At the beach club, service is a bit more laid-back; you’ll need to flag someone down for drinks, which seems pretty typical in Italy, though a bit frustrating at times. That said, the staff was accommodating and the setting is absolutely stunning. A true Capri experience!

If you ever find yourself in Capri, this restaurant is a must-visit. The atmosphere is simply beautiful, with stunning views all around that make the experience unforgettable. The food is delicious and comes in generous portions, every dish feels fresh and carefully prepared with high-quality ingredients. 🐟🦀🥬 While the prices are on the higher side. A perfect spot for a special meal with an incredible view. 🌅🚤

Do not come to this beach club. Complete scam. Waited an hour for the water taxi to the beach club. Tried to call to see if they were coming or not and it was busy every single time we called. Once we finally got there, we were told we have to pay €10 a person for the boat we just waited an hour for. When we saw the spot we were assigned, there were not even enough chairs for us. Just thin towels. We had a reservation for 5 people and there were 2 chairs. You do not get to choose where you sit and they do not let you switch spots. I have also attached a picture of the view from our section. We paid thousands of dollars for this beach club and it was the worst beach club experience we had in Italy. The minimum spend here is €190 per person. More if you even want an umbrella. Have never been more disappointed.

From the minute you get a reservation, the excitement begins You are asked to make your way to small marina to catch the dedicated boat taxi to the restaurant €9 pp, lovely ride and worth it When you arrive you walk past the private beach, and secured to the restaurant The trick is get a table on the edge with a view which can be tricky The service was good, the fish tartare, shell fish pasta and the mixed seafood dishes were scrumptious! Views also to die for

My experience at La Fontelina was absolutely unforgettable 🌊🤍. The view of Capri’s deep blue sea is breathtaking, the atmosphere is dreamy, and the service is top-notch. Truly one of the most beautiful beach clubs on the island ✨

Such a wonderful experience. From the vibe, the staff, the water, the food and the drinks our mixed group of singles, couples and kids had the best time. We will be back. Everyone agreed our best meal after four days was at Fontelina. The seafood the pasta the dolce. Exquisite. Our waiter “Rustik””(I butchered that sorry) elevated our meal with his attentiveness, kindness and humor. The mixologist master Vincenzo made incredible cocktails with endearing humility, precision and authenticity (thank you). Everyone was great, but there is one stocky gentlemen whose name escapes me, but he was hustling from umbrella to chair to umbrella taking care of everyone. I hope he sees this because my group really appreciated the valiant effort; grazie. Great time and we all plan to come back. That local snapper will be in my dreams 😃. Ce vediamo.

This was such a cool place to have lunch and hang out. The food was delicious and you can’t beat the amazing views! The only complaint was I was hoping for a little more background music, as it seemed quite for a beach club. Either way this was an amazing experience and I would recommend coming.

We walked down to this beach club from the Hotel Punta Tragara and it was a beautiful scenic view on the way down, but quite the task getting back up. I would suggest taking a boat taxi or making sure you have really comfortable shoes for the return trip. Once we were there, it was a beautiful view with the iconic blue and white umbrellas. However, they seated us on an uneven area near a little cliff overlooking the water, and it was hard to get our chairs to balance there. I didn’t feel like the service was very good at our seats for drinks. They were very busy. We ate lunch at the restaurant and had some of the best Caprese raviolis I’ve ever had, but I was underwhelmed by the whole experience there. For me it wasn’t worth the hype.

Nestled on the cliffs of Anacapri, overlooking the electric waters of the Blue Grotto, Restaurant Il Riccio is a renowned destination for seafood lovers. Accessible by a stone staircase leading down to the water, this high-end restaurant at Hotel Capri Palace offers refined Mediterranean dishes and a carefully curated selection of local beverages.
Beautiful place with a fantastic view, exceptional service and delicious food. The rooftop where we waited for our table to be ready is very sophisticated, decorated with Christian Dior items, you can take beautiful pictures there. My favorite part was the “temptation” a room full of delicious desserts. A truly extraordinary experience! A little pricey but you are in Capri and everything it’s pricey!

We had lunch there. The food was good but flat in flavor in my opinion. I’ve been to dozens of Michelin star restaurants in Europe and the USA and elsewhere. Atmosphere was incredible and the views were spectacular.

The restaurant opened at7:30, but due to the bad weather we didn’t get to enjoy the view at all. The food can be extremely bad and good, for example the appetizer lobster taste so good, that even made the main dishes taste awful. The uni pasta is too fishy, and the octopus is way too overcooked that my friend couldn’t eat it.

A Meal to Remember for a Lifetime This was one of those rare dining experiences where everything came together—fresh ingredients, perfect execution, stunning scenery, and a touch of magic. The grilled sea bass was exquisite: perfectly cooked, flaky, and delicately seasoned. The sides — golden roasted potatoes, warm vegetable medley, crisp salad with olives, and sweet tomatoes with basil — were vibrant and full of flavor. The clams, in their delicate broth, added a wonderful coastal touch, paired perfectly with fresh bread. A chilled glass of crisp white wine elevated every bite, perfectly complementing the fresh seafood and sun-kissed flavors of the Mediterranean. Fun, upbeat music set a lively tone, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Sipping wine and cocktails by the sea, with a seagull gliding over the horizon, felt like a perfect summer day frozen in time. Elegant, authentic, and unforgettable — a true Mediterranean gem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dining at Il Riccio in Capri is not simply a meal, it is a complete experience that begins long before you sit down at the table. The journey itself is unique: being picked up directly by boat and arriving at the restaurant sets the tone for something truly special. It already feels like you are entering a hidden paradise, where elegance and authenticity blend seamlessly. The setting is breathtaking, perched above the crystal waters of Capri, with views that make you pause and appreciate the beauty of the island. Yet, what impressed me most was not only the scenery, but the way the entire team orchestrates the experience. The service is absolutely impeccable, attentive without ever being intrusive, professional yet warm, always making you feel like a valued guest. As for the cuisine, Il Riccio excels at offering food that is authentic, deeply connected to the traditions of Capri, yet executed with refinement. Every dish carries the freshness of the island and the soul of the sea. The flavors are pure, clean, and perfectly balanced. Nothing feels forced or overcomplicated, this is Italian cuisine at its highest expression, where ingredients are allowed to shine. One of the highlights is how consistent the kitchen is. From seafood to pasta, every plate I tasted reflected craftsmanship and respect for tradition. There is an honesty in the cooking that makes it memorable. Combined with the unique arrival, the atmosphere, and the flawless hospitality, Il Riccio delivers not just dinner, but a moment you will always carry with you. For anyone visiting Capri, this is more than a recommendation, it is an absolute must!!

There is a direct correlation between Instagram popularity, quality and price, il Riccio certainly produces the photographs but quality is questionable and cost is excessive to the extent it's obsene. We ordered 4 drinks in the lounge upstairs which is decorated by Dior, the hostess admitted to being new, and sadly the Dior items had seen better times, and where apparently a year old, needs a refresh, cushions where scrunched and needed a wash, drinks arrived full of ice, despite asking for little ice, no lemonchello taste, certainly the spirit measure was below expected. Restaurant was nice and cool, vibe was nice e when we walked in with. Children and shown the back of the room despite empty table at the waters edge, we where given a table eventually, service was good but 98 euros for a crab salad, that was very small, is just outrageous, avocado was probably less than a half measure, the final straw, and reason for writing this review was the after lunch expresso, a double express requested, which hardly covered the bottom of the cup. We have discussed this with the JK management who made our booking, diners be ware.

Da Paolino is a renowned waterfront restaurant in Capri that has become a favorite among celebrities. The restaurant is known for its stylish and swoon-worthy decor, as well as its delicious food. One of the most notable features of Da Paolino is the abundance of lemon trees that form a canopy over the tables in the courtyard, creating an elegant and picturesque dining experience.
De Paolino was a great experience. The restaurant was open during lunchtime hours as it's still not peak season on Capri (We were there in mid April) Though the restaurant's location is slightly hidden, it was actually quite easy to find. When you're there, you feel that you've arrived in Italy. Dining inside lemon groves was very cool. The attention to every single detail was impeccable. The table settings and the staff outfits were all thought out. I highly recommend their shrimp salad with Parmesan cheese and the Vigna di Paola wine paired with the fish baked in salt. It takes a while to cook the fish, but it was totally worth it. While we waited for our food to come out the weather was slightly cool. For our comfort the restaurant provided us with yellow colored blankets which kept us warm and cozy. I would highly recommend this dining experience when visiting Capri.

This is a Must Try in Capri. Simply great. Enjoy the best food under the lemon trees. Romantic and elegant. Make sure to reserve ahead of time. It's crowded and busy, so the service will be slow but acceptable. The experience was outstanding. Make sure to make room for dessert; the dedicated dessert buffet was amazing.

Da Paolino in Capri is a magical experience! When we arrived, the lights were still off, but the moment they opened, they welcomed us warmly and began serving right away. The entire team was so kind, helpful, and incredibly fast with the service. Everything we ordered from the menu was absolutely delicious—every bite was a highlight! The dessert corner is a dream come true, with sweets that are truly unforgettable. The setting, the service, the food—it was all perfect. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Capri!

This is probably one of the only positive reviews I can leave for Capri. The service was good — nothing special to highlight, but also nothing negative to say. The staff were professional and polite, and everything was handled smoothly. The food arrived very quickly, which was nice. As for the dishes themselves, I honestly didn’t find the food particularly special. The prices are extremely high — you’re looking at around €50–€70 just for a starter, which feels excessive. The steak was reasonably priced at €45, but the portion of vegetables and fries was tiny (for the price) (not a big deal, since they weren’t great anyway). It came with a delicious red wine sauce I had never tried before — really lovely flavor. Unfortunately, my steak was overcooked (I asked for medium but got almost well done), although my friend’s steak — also ordered medium — was perfectly cooked, so I suppose it was just bad luck. Overall, the place is beautiful and the setting under the lemon trees is stunning, but the food doesn’t quite live up to the atmosphere or the price tag. If I could, I’d rate it 3.5 stars — a 3 feels a bit too harsh, but a 4 a bit too generous — so I’ll go with 4 stars.
Jennifer — Google review
Over rated. Too touristy The setting is undeniably charming, dining under lemon trees creates a beautiful, local atmosphere. The waiters, dressed in uniform, are quite efficient and professional. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. It lacked flavor, personality, and any sense of love or care in the preparation. I didn’t feel the soul of the cuisine – something I always look for, especially in Italy. It felt like quantity mattered more than quality. A beautiful place, but the experience didn’t match the expectations.

Dining at Da Paolino was a truly memorable experience! We made reservations in advance and took a taxi from the main Capri plaza — it’s a short walk from where you’re dropped off, and they’re happy to call you a taxi after dinner. We started the evening with drinks at the bar before being seated, which set a great tone. Once seated, we chose a bottle of red wine and had fun picking out our fish and steak directly from the cooler. We ordered both the truffle pasta and the famous lemon pasta — both were excellent, but we’d recommend the lemon for its bold, unique flavor. The whole salted fish and steak were presented and plated tableside, which added to the experience. Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. They also offer a stunning dessert room for €30 per plate — we were too full to try it, but it looked absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for a special night out in Capri!

Nice experience but felt a bit commercialised. Food was good but not that it left us amazed. Staff is friendly and nice, but not that they left and incredible impression like in some other restaurants. The deserts buffet was really cool! And there are details that are cute. All in all I am glad we went here it is a traditional restaurant and it was cool to experience it.

Aurora is a renowned restaurant located in a pedestrian alley, offering a mix of truffle pizzas, delicate pastas, and classic seafood dishes. The establishment is frequented by celebrities, with their photos adorning the walls inside and out. It boasts a sleek minimalist interior and outdoor tables along a chic thoroughfare. Known for its iconic pizza all'acqua, Aurora seamlessly blends tradition and innovation in its culinary offerings.
Dining at Aurora was one of the highlights of our time in Capri. The restaurant has a timeless charm — sophisticated yet relaxed — with a lively atmosphere that perfectly reflects the spirit of the island. It’s easy to see why it’s a favorite among both locals and visitors. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was prepared with care and precision, featuring fresh, top-quality ingredients. From the delicate handmade pasta to the perfectly grilled seafood, everything was bursting with flavor. The famous pizza all’acqua lived up to the hype — crisp, light, and unlike anything else we’ve tried. The dessert selection was just as impressive, offering the perfect finish to a fantastic meal. The wine list was also extensive, with excellent regional and Italian labels that complemented the menu beautifully. A special mention must go to Sara, who welcomed us so warmly from the moment we arrived. She handled the seating with grace and professionalism, making us feel immediately comfortable and well looked after. Her friendly demeanor and attention to detail set the tone for the rest of the evening. Even though she wasn’t involved in the food service, her role in starting our experience on such a positive note truly stood out and deserves recognition. Aurora is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. With world-class food, elegant surroundings, and welcoming staff like Sara, it captures the essence of Capri in every way. Highly recommended, and we look forward to returning on our next visit!

Personally wasn't impressed. The staff seemed cold and aloof, and the food was decent but not worth the price. We ordered a dish for sharing, which they somehow misunderstood, and brought out two (at 40+ euros each). There are nicer places on the island.

A little hidden jam for sure! Tucked away in one of the small street. Such a warm service and food was outstanding! Walls decorated with celebrity pics taken there with the restaurant owners…subtle but very cool to see. The cannelloni and Veal Milanese were so good! Make sure to book in advance.

Sparkly spot with good service and fresh food. A bit expensive compared to other places of same caliber but it’s Capri. Not sure about all the hype though. Outside tables left open when restaurant was empty for hours, waiting for someone I suppose. AC blasting inside if you like it cold, lounge across the way very dark. Cool wine cellar downstairs by bathroom.

Found this place whilst wondering around Capri on our day trip. Staff were friendly and attentive, prices are high compared to a few other places on the island however, the food was very good so didn’t mind. We had the black truffle cacio e pepe pasta and basil & pesto gnocchi along with a limoncello spritz. We finished off with a tiramisu and toasted almond ice cream. All in an all a good experience, tasty food despite the high price tag. Just be prepared for that or ask beforehand if unsure. Would visit again.

Probably the oldest restaurant on the Island of Capri. Our experience was one of the best, from Mia, the owner, one of the most professional host and her staff, we were treated like royalty. A must try is their Pizza All'acqua (a registered Trade Mark), along with everything else. Don't miss this restaurant while vacationing in Capri.
Michael T — Google review
Can’t say I had a bad experience here. From a non Italian perspective the food was good although the pizza crust was slim but it’s a gastronomy restaurant. Pizza is not their specialities. As for the price, I agree the pizza costs too much for what it is. The rest doesn’t surprise me. The service was fine, they gave us a table immediately and we got still water and bread. Food arrived fast and tiramisu was excellent. The waiter was polite and fast but it would be nice to have a smile. Toilets are very clean.

Le Grottelle is a unique restaurant located near the Arco Naturale, offering a distinctive setting against limestone rocks. The informal trattoria features a half-cave, half-terrace design with the kitchen situated in a cave at the back. It provides stunning views of the Li Galli islands and serves a variety of dishes including ravioli, local rabbit, and seafood specialties like linguine con gamberetti e rucola.
Hidden gem of Capri!! The restaurant felt really local, the staff is super nice and friendly with great food recommendations. The venue itself is breathtaking! You need to walk to get there but it is a nice walk and definitely worth it. Will come back again for sure!

The food was really good and the prices not too bad for Capri. Unfortunately the head waiter was very rude to me, to the extent when I thought I had personally offended him (I didn't though). That really soured the experience. The view was amazing though.

This is a breathtaking place to relax and lay back out of the Capri city center buzz, and on our way to the Natural Arch, a beautiful walking experience in our visit to the island. The restaurant is that a perfect location to enjoy the natural view and still enjoy a great meal and wine. The staff was very helpful, and even though we had minor issues in the service with compliments, it was an outstanding stop to recharge with a light and savory meal. Their salad and raviolis were just great! The facilities are great for a terrace feel, all about what Capri is about.

Very nice location - splendid viewing over a cliff - a bit of a walk but less people around. Paolo was hosting us and for sure can be trusted with any kind of recommendation (wine and food) - the stuffed pepperoni and the pasta with rabbit were excellent. And the lemon tarte. For sure one of the best places on Capri - if you can reserve a table. Gracie !
