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.

カプリの唯一無二のビーチクラブのレストラン

伝統的なビーチクラブのとても美味しい食事です。 地元のテニスコーチにもリコメンドされました。 オススメは恐らくフォンテリーナの名前がついた海鮮パスタですが、エビが食べられない私は日替わりのパスタ、ボッタルガ、ズッキーニのパスタあたりから選びます。お値段は高めです。 この点に関しては批判的なコメントも目立ちますが、ここは道路や上下水道のインフラの整った街中ではありません。ボートが徒歩しかアクセスできない切り立った崖の下なのです。その場所で、多数のメニューを揃え、清潔な麻のテーブルクロスとナプキン、涼し気なベネチアンガラスのコップ(カプリの街で90€で売ってました)で食事ができるのですから、当然の価格だです。 (水や料理の具材やゴミまでもボートで運んで維持しているのですから、街中の価格と違って当然です)

American paradise, not to fun for others to hear them complain all day

The atmosphere is nice but the food and the service was mediocre. It is a significant cost and they assign seats before you arrive - they seem to preference the Americans and those that have tantrums to get closer to the front. It’s definitely an American hot spot and they all want the best seat - provides some entertainment I guess. Very pricey with no inclusions. Highly recommend Arienzo beach club who is better value for money, very good food and they package their towels/beds/umbrellas.

Rookie mistake, didn’t check reviews in advance as my wife wanted to go . Ordered shrimp and spaghetti the shrimp were non existent. Way overpriced for poor dining experience, tourist Trap for sure. Added beach club. Unbelievably they charged extra for an umbrella and 24 euros for two towels. Chairs, not daybeds , we’re off the water in the back on concrete. Very hot , no view , never to return. Save your money and go to torre Saraceno

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.
