Situated in the historic center of Capri, just steps away from the legendary Piazzetta, Restaurant Al Grottino is one of Capri's finest traditional eateries.

History in the making

Created within the walls of a 15th century edifice, characterized by old stone arches and cross vaulted ceilings, ever since it first opened its doors to hungry holidaymakers Al Grottino has been a favourite haunt of those looking for good honest food and wine and a charming setting in which to savor it.

Mentioned in all of the most authoritative international gastronomic guides, Restaurant Al Grottino is famous for its delicious Neapolitan cuisine and traditional island dishes, all of which prepared using only the freshest of seasonal ingredients.

A family passion

For over 80 years, Al Grottino has been run by members of the Arbace family, whose passion for quality food and fine service has made the restaurant one of the most popular on the whole island of Capri, as testified by the many photos of past and present customers which adorn the dining room walls.
During the warm summer months, it's particularly pleasant to relax over a meal in Il Grottino's air conditioned dining room.

Arbace family is the owner also of Pulalli restaurant, on the clocktower in the famous Piazzetta di Capri

We were welcomed by Gianfranco in a family atmosphere, excellent food, in particular the freshly prepared, very fresh seafood salad and amazing eggplant parmesan. You can breathe an authentic Capri atmosphere! We will definitely be back

Past glory

It felt like a trip back in time to the 60s at an Italian restaurant. The food was partially good. The seafood risotto unfortunately had nothing to do with risotto. You were only treated in a friendly manner if you already knew the owner from 3 visits. We were not even offered a coffee or a dessert. For that, we had to go somewhere else.

Lack of transparency with prices

I asked for the best pasta on the menu and they offered us a pasta for two with two lobsters (obviously, the most expensive thing in the place) without telling us the price. I even asked one of the waiters directly how much it cost and he replied that he did not know. In the end, the bill for three people was €218. I understand that lobster is expensive, but if they recommend a dish at that price, they should communicate it clearly. Furthermore, we did not think the food was good enough to justify the cost. We left disappointed.

Many thanks to Signore Gianfranco Albace, owner of the family restaurant with a tradition of over 80 years. The service is unparalleled, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it's very well located. 100% recommended... say hello to Don Gianfranco for me! AAA+++
