La Capannina Bar, situated opposite the restaurant is one of the island's favorite evening venues, where to partake in a glass or two of excellent wine or a cocktail. A tempting selection of sweet and savory nibbles provides the perfect accompaniment. The bar has been designed so as to recreate the atmosphere of Capri's most elegant villas, furnished with period prints and pavements in terracotta. Soft background music contributes to the wonderfully relaxing atmosphere pervading both the inside sitting areas and the attractive, open air courtyard.
