Address
Via Arco Naturale - Capri

In the immediate vicinity of the natural arch, an impressive rock formation shaped by centuries of erosion, one finds the restaurant and pizzeria "Le Grottelle". Part of this rustic eatery, including the kitchen, nestles in cave-like hollows carved out of the rock face, whilst meals are served on a beautiful sunny terrace with spectacular views of Campanella point, the Amalfi coast, the Galli islands, and, on a clear day, the distant coastline of Salerno and Calabria.

Ideal reward for those arriving at the arch after having climbed the 120 steps at the end of the coastal walk which commences at the Punta Tragara and Faraglioni. Likewise, the restaurant is also the perfect place to lunch before commencing the descent to the "Pizzolungo".

The exclusive setting, one of the most charming locations on the island, together with the best of traditional local cuisine and friendly service, makes a meal at the Grottelle a truly wonderful experience.

A charming, family-run restaurant tucked away near Capri’s stunning Natural Arch. Warm hospitality, authentic flavors, and breathtaking views make this a truly special dining experience. Every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and genuine care, in a relaxed yet thoughtful atmosphere. It feels like home — with the scent of the sea and the taste of tradition. Highly recommended!

Located near the Natural Arch be ready to walk a bit uphill from the center of Capri; please do though take the walk, it is a family owned restaurant where they make you feel right at home. At first the doting waiter seems like he is simply awaiting your order but then you learn it is simply his style. The chef comes down to the dining floor a few times and makes the rounds and the grandfather who we guess is an owner makes the rounds too. We had prosecco before we headed to dinner so tonight was dinner with still water. We started with a shared dish of grilled vegetable and burrata, simply delicious and the burrata so mild. We ordered two portions of Pasta Sciue Sciue, fantastic of course, and closed with eggplant parmigiana, so nicely cooked and not deep fried as they do in the USA. Reservations are only avail by phone so call in advance and make one! And funny story while we’re at it, we did the Natural Arch hike and after rising the stairs tired and completely parched earlier in the day we dined where we did buy our bottle of water, here! And we did not even realize until we came back for dinner!

Le Grottelle is a great place for dinner in Capri. Luigi greets everyone who visits his restaurant. The pizza and pasta are outstanding, but don't miss the chicken. Great wine list and very reasonable.

A pleasant walk starting off from the Piazzetta: pass through the arch on Via Longano, and continue along Via Matermania to Via Arco Naturale.
