This is the travel page on Capri Restaurants. Capri is a popular tourist destination in Italy and is an island off the Sorrentine Peninsula, south of the Gulf of Naples. The City of Capri is lined with expensive restaurants and boutiques. Capri became a popular resort for the rich and famous in the 1950's and has since seen some famous faces such as, Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, Liz Hurley, Harrison Ford and Mariah Carey. One of the most famous tourist spots on the island is the Blue Grotto. The Blue Grotto, or Grotta Azzurra, is sea cave that once was the private bath of the Roman emperors that resided on the island. It's called the Blue Grotto because of blue tones that are created by the filtering of the light through the sea water. For more information on tourism in Capri see the Mahalo pages on a Capri Vacation and Capri Hotels.

  • Concierge.com Recommendation  : "The warm, professional welcome of the De Angelis family, which has owned the restaurant since 1951, is one of La Capannina's charms; another is the spot-on local cuisine, which includes specialties like ricotta-stuffed eggplant and ravioli Caprese."

• Ristorante Aurora Pizza, Phone: 39-081-837-0181 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation  : "TThe owners, the D'Alessio family, greet major and minor celebrities like old friends, leaving nonentities like us to the waiters, but that's par for the course on Capri, and the service is, in fact, extremely professional."

• Da Tonino Italian, Phone: 39-081-837-6718 Google Map

• La Savardina Italian, Phone: 39-081-837-6300 Google Map
