Overall experience: 10/10…read more Food ~ 10/10 The lemon risotto was delicious!! Incredibly creamy and rich with lemon. The risotto itself was chewy and the perfect consistency. Caprese salad is a MUST!! The tomatoes were so fresh and mozzarella was so juicy and moist. The pastas were all so chewy and fresh! They hand make their pastas and you can definitely tell. The dishes itself were a tad salty but if you pair it with some drinks on the side, it will be perfect. Service ~ 10/10 Came in on Wednesday @12 pm and there were only a few customers. The employees were very inviting and showed us the fish of the day before serving it to us! As tourist, I felt extremely welcomed and definitely recommend this restaurant.

The views here are also incredible, but surprisingly it was pretty empty during lunch hour. Both pasta dishes were delicious; the seafood was super fresh and the pasta itself was al dente. The Pizza Caprese was good but nothing extraordinary. I did like the zucchini strips in the Frittura Spillo which gave it a nice light and fresh crunch factor. Great spot for sharing dishes! Prices were a bit higher than other places but still reasonable.

Everyone was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We started off with the "scialatielli fior di zucchine e tartufo estivo". It's a made with homemade pasta, zucchini flowers, and truffles in a delicious sauce. We then had the house specialty "cocotte" which is a seafood pasta that is just out of this world. My mother and I love a seafood pasta and this one was so delicious we decided to ask for the menu again to order more. As we waited we got to enjoy the interior which has been operating for over 85 years since the owners father first opened the restaurant. It's truly a wonderful place that makes you feel right at home. We wanted a bit of fish to enjoy but did not want to order the large plate of fish, so Gianfranco went out of his way for us to ask his chef to cook us up a smaller plate of fish. It was so buttery and melt in your mouth. Absolutely delicious! My mother and I couldn't help ourselves, we decided to get a glass of Chianti wine and a tiramisu to end the meal. The tiramisu just melts in your mouth and we practically licked the plate clean. I have read the other reviews of guests who did not give 5 start reviews. I personally think they must be out of their minds because this was one of the best meals we have had in all of Italy! If you have the chance to come to Capri and walk up to see the towns center, this is a must stop location. You will remember this meal for decades to come. I wish much success to Al Grottino and to the family that has been operating this business for over 80 years.

When we arrived, we were sat in the corner with no view. Our waiter wanted our order immediately upon sitting down, after we had been seated about 90 seconds, and seemed annoyed we hadn't decided yet. After ordering, every table around us got their 3 course meal, including dessert, in the time we waited for our entrees despite us ordering at the same time and sharing an appetizer. There was a large group seated right after us and it felt as though the waiter and the staff forgot about us. The food was good, though I felt like similar standard to everything you can get in town, and double the price. For us, it wasn't worth the hike and price.

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.

Everything is charged by weight. A price list of the items is posted on the right wall. We got a variety of items to eat including this sandwich item, grilled veggies, meatballs, and baked ravioli. OMG the meatballs were amazing, moist, soft, flavorful, and melted in your mouth. There were 2 types of meatballs - ones in tomato sauce and ones that had sage leaves. We got the sage leaf ones. The raviolis were an absolute treat and something I haven't had in the States.. Bite-size poppers, it is warm pillowy bread surrounding a soft creamy cheesey center. There's a bit of juice when you bite in, so I suggest you eat the whole thing at once else you might have a little squirt. There's not a lot of space and most people get their food for take away. There is this little ledge where 2 people can stand and eat. That's about it for the dine-in option. I've been in Italy for a week now and this is one of the best meals I've had and it's cheap.

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.
