Restaurants in Capri

  1. A

    Le Arcate

    This is the restaurant that the locals recommend – and frequent. An unpretentious place with hanging baskets of ivy and well-aged terracotta tiles, it specialises in delicious primi (first courses) and pizzas. A real show-stopper is the risotto con polpa di granchio, rughetta e scaglie di parmigiano (risotto with crab meat, rocket and shavings of Parmesan).

    La Cisterna

    Named after and housed in a 2000-year-old Roman cistern, this unpretentious trattoria is a perennial favourite. Owned by the larger-than-life Salvatore, whose memorable picture adorns the bottles of house wine, it’s good for traditional dishes like pasta with beans, veal cutlets and wood-fired pizzas.

    Lo Sfizietto

    Lo Sfizietto uses only organic ingredients with choices that include cremolate with 60% fresh fruit, semifreddi (a decadent cross between mousse and ice cream), and some unusual combinations like its namesake, sfizietto (caramel with pine nuts).

    Trattoria Il Solitario

    One of the better trattorias in the heart of Anacapri’s touristy centre, Il Solitario serves large helpings of tasty local food at honest prices. It’s a relaxed place with children’s toys in the corner and tables laid out in an inviting green backyard. Book ahead on summer weekends.

    Le Grottelle

    About 150m from the Arco Naturale, Capri’s most atmospheric place has two dining areas: one set in a cave, the other on a terrace perched above a wooded hillside sloping down to the sea. The food is traditional – think simple pasta dishes followed by grilled fish, chicken or rabbit.

    La Pergola

    The vine-shaded terrace and sea views provide a wonderful setting for La Pergola’s delicious, innovative food. Here, Capri classics mix it with more modern dishes such as paccheri con cozze, patate e peperoncino (large pasta rings with mussels, potatoes and chilli).

    La Rondinella

    One of Anacapri’s most consistently good restaurants, La Rondinella has a relaxed, rural feel. For something different try chef Michele’s linguine alla ciammura, a delicious pasta dish with a creamy white sauce of anchovies, garlic and parsley.

    Verginiello

    Offering reliable, earthy food and grandstand views over Marina Grande, this bustling restaurant is as near to a budget diner as you’ll find in Capri Town. Of the pastas, the spaghetti alle cozze (spaghetti with mussels) is worth trying.
