Il Geranio restaurant is a diamond set in "Mediterranean pearl"!

Imperial island since the time of Augusto and Tiberio, who chose it for their imperial residence, Capri is a rare and beautiful jewel to be discovered and admired inch by inch along its enchanting itineraries. Parco Augusto was built in the last century, commissioned by Alfred Krupp, a german engineer. Its beautiful gardens, situated on a rocky terrace, provide a marvellous display of flowers and shrubs in every season of the year.

The restaurant Il Geranio overlooks these magnificent gardens, giving a stunning view on the Faraglioni as well to its clients.
Geranio's seasonal Neapolitan and Mediterranean cuisine is made using excellent seafood and sun-ripened fruit and vegetables.

The restaurant is the perfect location in which to celebrate your wedding day like in a dream. Geranio's events team will be pleased to organize anything from a champagne toast to a seated dinner with live musical entertainment al night long, to make your party unforgettable.

This restaurant has amazing views and the food is delicious. The service was attentive but too much so sometimes as wanted a leisurely lunch and kept getting asked if we wanted dessert. Overall would recommend even though it’s a bit of a walk from Capri town

Never disappoints. Outstanding pomodoro (I got it with Spaghetti, but the menu pairs it with ravioli). Friendly service. Was there with wife and two children (all of whom are used to excellent Italian from living in NYC) and a friend. We all had a great experience. This is my 4th time at Il Geranio, and it's consistently wonderful. Delightful setting.

Peaceful spot away from the crowd of Capri

We visited the restaurant after our stroll around the gardens of Augustus. Upon approaching the restaurant it doesn’t look like much, but once you go upto the second terrace and see the view of the rocks it’s a lovely place to sit and dine The decor is dated but fits with the feel of the island. The service was a little on the overbearing side, then they made a remark when we only ordered 2 pastas for lunch saying ‘is that it’ but we just laughed it off! This was hands down the best seafood pasta we ate in our whole Italy trip. A rich seafood sauce, il dente pasta and lovely seafood! 10/10 This is a nice place to sit and get away from the crowd of capri after a day of exploring (just beware of the wasps!)

Esperienza da non perdere

Ieri sera ho avuto il piacere di festeggiare un anniversario molto speciale in un ristorante che ha superato ogni mia aspettativa. L'atmosfera era semplicemente incantevole, con vista sui faraglioni e su via Krupp, perfetta per un'occasione speciale. Vasta la selezione dei piatti, presentati in modo impeccabile. Ogni portata è stata un trionfo di sapori perché lo chef sa esaltare ingredienti semplici e di alta qualità. Ma ciò che ha reso la serata davvero indimenticabile sono stati i camerieri. La loro professionalità e cortesia sono state eccezionali; ogni desiderio è stato soddisfatto con un sorriso e non è mancata una sorpresa per il nostro anniversario. Un ringraziamento particolare va a loro, che hanno reso la nostra serata così memorabile. Raccomandatissimo! Non vediamo l'ora di tornare e trasformare questo ristorante in una delle nostre future tappe fisse. Prezzi in linea con gli altri ristoranti eleganti di Capri. Un'esperienza da non perdere per tutti gli amanti della buona cucina e del servizio impeccabile!
