The Aurora Restaurant and Pizzeria is one of Capri's oldest restaurants. For more than a century the D'Alessios have continued to promote the culinary traditions of the island, creating what has been referred to as a kind of "gastronomical museum" lovingly curated by 3 successive generations of the family.

The best of Mediterranean cuisine is served in the large dining room with a splendid veranda overlooking the historical Fuorlovado street. Chef Franco Aversa adds a pinch of creative flair to the traditional Neapolitan and Caprese dishes, a sprinkle of originality which places the Aurora among the most exclusive restaurants on the island.

The Aurora boasts a wine cellar with over 300 labels from Tuscany, Piedmont, Campania, Puglia, and Sicily and a selection of excellent French and Californian wines - another of the reasons why the Aurora has become a must on any gastronomic itinerary and a popular haunt of celebraties visiting the island.

The family restaurant Aurora was the first to bring carefully chosen quality wines to Capri, and has maintained their dedication for many years. The constant search for the best Italian wines and their ever-expanding cellar has led Aurora to open Vino, a winehouse in the heart of Capri.

Average food with terrible service

Very average food but with terrible service. Pizzas were ok but where we had a lot better in Italy and specifically Sorrento. “Chicken in lemon sauce” was tasty but luke warm by the time it arrived. Service on all counts was terrible - my wife’s main course arrived just before we had all finished ours and that was after chasing 4 times. When it did come there was no apology or recognition for how late it was and then it was barely warm. Lead Waiters including what appeared to be the head waiter /Maitre de were abrupt, uninterested and rushed us to take the order only for the speed of order taking not to match the speed of their service. We had to ask 5 times for the bill and it still didn’t arrive so I went to the desk to ask (again) to pay. Generally staff acted like they were doing you a favour to have you there. A shame but a lot better options available.

Disappointment

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. I ordered the lobster pasta, which was by far the worst I’ve ever had – the lobster was tough and rubbery, and the pasta was severely undercooked and hard. The staff was unpleasant and uninterested. Despite having a reservation, we were seated right next to the bathroom – completely disrespectful. The prices are outrageously high for such low-quality food. The only decent thing we had was the Caesar salad – everything else was terrible. I would not return and definitely do not recommend it.

Capri è così

Capri è così . Come tutte le località “social “ è frequentata da VIP ha le sue contraddizioni. Tempistiche di ore per raggiungere la Piazzetta e prezzi non proprio in linea con i servizi offerti. Detto ciò noi abbiamo pranzato bene , servizio ottimo e prezzi in linea con il contesto. Unica nota dolente alcuni ragazzi troppo rumorosi, ma come spesso accade in questi contesti pecunia non olet.

Cibo sotto alle aspettative, ma servizio pessimo , tavoli attaccati, i camerieri che per passare hanno sempre sbattuto sul nostro tavolo, Un continuo… consiglio di mettere i Clienti al centro.. Inutile farsi i SELFIE con le celebrità se poi si offre un servizio del genere.
