Da Giorgio

TLDR: charges a “sit down fee”, disrespectful staff, pizza that doesn’t arrive after an hour and prices that don’t even compensate a bad experience. We went there as a family on the advice of a tour guide to celebrate a birthday. Out of desperation due to the heat, we sat there after waiting five minutes for a table. They offered bread gladly (which I thought was nice, but expected for an expensive restaurant) and then only came to order after around 10 minutes. We ordered a parmigiana €21 and a vegetarian pizza (oro de capri) €18 and then a large bottle of water. The parmigiana arrived after fifteen minutes from ordering and we quickly ate it. Now to where it all went wrong… after 40 minutes we asked where the pizza was and they said it would come soon but after another 15, it still hadn’t arrived… So we left without the pizza as we said we were in a rush and left thirty euros on the table, which we expected would cover the parmigiana and the water. They shouted fifty euros at us as we left and after discussing with other tour members the restaurants charges €5 as a “sit down fee”. Overall a very bad experience, disrespectful staff and food that never comes. Expensive for the area as well, you’re better off finding some nice local restaurant in an alley rather than this trap!

As guests of the adjacent and homonymous hotel, we chose to dine here tonight. First of all, the owner is very kind and friendly. We ate very well: linguine alla puttanesca with octopus and paccheri with broccoli, mussels, and pecorino. Original and truly exquisite recipes. It has a window with a breathtaking view of Marina Grande.

I regret to say it. But compared to the past, the pizza has worsened significantly and the fried foods are truly subpar. There has been a clear decline and loss of quality. Now the target audience for Caprese restaurateurs consists of Japanese, Americans, Australians, etc. For them, the quality is okay…

Da Giorgio was an excellent experience from start to finish. The grilled octopus was one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked and an incredibly generous portion. I also had the lemon and guanciale pasta, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. For dessert, I finished with the classic Torta Caprese, and it was excellent. The view was stunning, the service was fast and attentive, and the entire experience truly captured the magic of Capri. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic food, beautiful scenery, and great hospitality.
