Località Faraglioni - Capri

One of the most exclusive beach clubs and restaurants in the whole of Italy, Capri's Fontelina is a magical place; a heavenly hideaway resting at the foot of the island's legendary Faraglioni. It is also a historical place, where the Roman emperors residing on Capri once came to bathe.

Although more than 50 years have passed since they first opened their small sea-edge eatery, the Arcucci and Gargiulo families continue to run the Fontelina with the very same passion and enthusiasm; serving the same delicious cuisine and offering customers the kind of heartfelt hospitality for which the islanders are known and loved.

If you're coming to Capri, don't miss the chance to lunch in the shadow of the Faraglioni... book your table at Fontelina as soon as you arrive! Sat on Fontelina's sea view terrace, you'll be able to enjoy all of the island's favorite dishes, prepared with the freshest of fish and seafood and accompanied by a glass of the restaurant's famous sangria.

The restaurant is open for lunch and it can be combined with a day by the sea. Fontelina's rocky beach is not suitable for young children.

Disappointing from start to finish

I wouldn’t recommend this place, many other beach clubs that treat you so much better. They will sit you in the back of the club if you’re walking in and not coming off of one of the yachts and boats. The service is even worse, not once the entire day did the wait staff come to us at our chairs (this was true for basically everyone we saw), we had to get up and go order our drinks. When paying the bill they hover over you until you tell them an amount to tip. The half dozen couples next to us had the identical experience.. on the plus side, because of this we got to meet some really nice couples from all over the world near us :). One of them left immediately after their required lunch reservation unfortunately. We stuck it out until around 4:00 given the minimum spend requirements. We learned our lesson and will not be back. Many other better ways to spend your day and money on the island

The beach club is far from luxurious like advertised and expected. We arrived pretty early and were one of 5 groups on the beach to start and got put in the very back. at first it wasn’t a problem but pretty quickly they sat a family of 3 right in front of us which also happened to be on a slightly elevated surface. completely ruined the view. the family was also extremely loud and annoying. the daughter argued with the parents all day and was moving around taking pictures. we asked if we could move since the beach was still empty and the employee laughed and said “the beach is empty how could it be loud?” after explaining again they offered us “the only spot left” which wasn’t much better so we stayed…the beach never filled up. Food and views were good but I wouldn’t recommend.

Ha deluso le mie aspettative….. devi conoscere sennò ti mettono dietro a tutto.. solo al ristorante sono stati molto gentili.

La vista vale la visita. Menu molto curato e cibo decisamente delizioso. Place to be and to be seen. Il servizio potrebbe essere più attento, ma tutto sommato una tappa è consigliata, soprattutto a pranzo.

Map

The Fontelina restaurant is located on the tiny beach at the foot of the Faraglioni, in one of the most beautiful corners of the Island of Capri.

You can reach Fontelina by boat or on foot, using the steep, downhill path which starts just beneath the Punta Tragara viewing point. If you don't fancy making the uphill return journey, you can always take the restaurant's shuttle boat service to Marina Piccola instead.
