I like Capri but compared to the other cities in the South of Italy, I don't really love it. I felt the same way about Gastronomia di Buonocore Raffaele.
There is certainly nothing wrong with this shop and the gelato is fine but just like Capri I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be given Capri's splendid reputation and glowing reviews from previous travelers.
What we found is that you'll walk around Capri not knowing where to stop for a quick bite and then this shop will grab your attention with the sweet smell of waffle cones being made wafting towards you. Then you'll see many tourists lining up for this and it reels you in.
For about 2.5 euros you can get a nicely sized waffle cone with fairly generous scoops of gelato. Here I tried the Stracciatella and the Mango sorbet. Both were nice flavors but not above and beyond anything else we had in Rome or other cities. Still better than gelato in the U.S. without a doubt. In the end, as far as the south of Italy goes, I much prefer Raki for gelato.
We also had the mini pizza at 2.5 euros and it definitely was not impressive. It was lukewarm and tasted slightly above microwavable pizza. I'm not trying to be harsh but it really was not up to the Italian standard.
Overall, just A-Ok. read more
