[edit] Capri High-End Restaurants
- Frommer's Recommended: "During warm weather, the site expands from its cramped 14th-century core onto a covered open-air terrace with sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples."
- Fodor's Review
: "[I]talian foodies appreciate dishes such as tubettoni alla masaniello, tiny pieces of pasta with capers, mussels, and prawns."
- La Capannina Italian (Capri Town) Phone: 39-081-837-0732 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Although it's a magnet for the red-carpet crowd—which has included, at various times, Jackie O., Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts—this tavern-style restaurant in town has managed to stay refreshingly unstuffy over the decades."
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This restaurant has drawn a host of glamorous people, but they come for its lack of pretentiousness. Part of its charm derives from the American-born wife, Aurelia de Angelis, of the fifth-generation owner, who's always on hand to translate or help with menu selections."
- Fodor's Review
: "It has a discreet covered veranda -- opened up in summer -- for dining by candlelight in a florid garden setting, all pink, green, and white, with most of the regulars avoiding the stuffy indoor rooms."
- Aurora Italian (Sorrento) Phone: 39-081-837-0181 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "The old-fashioned trattoria decor has been replaced by a warm, urban minimalism that plays on dark brown and cream hues, with soft lighting and an ambient soundtrack."
- Fodor's Review
: "Though often frequented by celebrities -- photographs of famous guests adorn the walls inside -- this restaurant, one of the oldest on the island, offers courtesy and simpatia irrespective of your persona."
- Da Paolino Italian Phone: 39-081-837-6102 Google Map
- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Just as enchanting as the food is the dining area placed in a lemon grove. The lemon motif pervades the restaurant, ranging from the waiters' vests to the plates placed before you."
- Edode Italian (Capri Town) Phone: 39-081-838-8252 Google Map
- Fodor's Review
: "The name may come from the ancient Greek for food, the seats may have been imported from Austria, the shimering white columns hail from Paris, but the gray-on-white ambience conjures up New York's hot-cool Meatpacking district."
[edit] Capri Moderate Restaurants
- Da Tonino Italian Phone: 39-081-837-6718 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "It's a little out of the way, just off the path that leads to the Arco Naturale, but this place is well worth scouting out for its well-priced gourmet spin on the cuisine of the Bay of Naples."
- Ai Faraglioni Seafood Phone: 39-081-837-0320 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "Stylish and appealing and occupying a stone-sided building at least 150 years old, it has a kitchen that turns out well-prepared European specialties, usually based on seafood from the surrounding waters."
- Al Pesce d'Oro Seafood (Amalfi) Phone: 39-089-831231 Google Map
- Fodor's Review
: "The big-hearted brothers who oversee the place, their kids who serve you, and mamma and the other family-folk who keep the kitchen hopping at this comfortable roadside restaurant west of town will win your heart."
- La Savardina Italian Phone: 39-081-837-6300 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "This rustic idyll is one of the few restaurants on Capri to champion the rural, land-based cuisine that so many islanders subsisted on in the days when fish was a rare and expensive treat."
- La Cantinella di Capri French Phone: 39-081-837-0616 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "One of the most scenically located restaurants, this place occupies a 1750 villa in a verdant park a short but soothing distance from the town center and a short walk from the Gardens of Augustus."
[edit] Capri Affordable Restaurants
- Antico Francischiello da Peppino Italian (Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi) Phone: 39-081-533-9780 Google Map
- Fodor's Choice
: "Two eye-knocking, huge, beamed rooms with sprays of fernery, antique mirrored sideboards, hundreds of mounted plates, brick archways, old chandeliers, fresh flowers, and tangerine-hue tablecloths is quite a sight -- a virtual living museum to traditional Sorrentine arts and crafts."
- Al Grottino Italian Phone: 39-081-837-0584 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "Founded in 1937, this was the retreat of the rich and famous during its 1950s heyday. Ted Kennedy, Ginger Rogers, and the Gabor sisters once dined here, and the place is now popular among ordinary folk."
- Fodor's Review
: "This small and friendly family-run restaurant, which is handy to the Piazzetta, has arched ceilings and lots of atmosphere; autographed photos of celebrity customers cover the walls."
