Address
Via Arco Naturale - Capri

Le Grottelle is situated just a few steps away from the Natural Arch, a great block of rock fashioned by centuries of erosion into a gigantic monolithic archway.

Caves with a view

As its name suggests, part of Le Grottelle, including the kitchen, has been built within cave-like hollows in the rock face.
Traditional island treats are served on the terrace which enjoys sweeping views across the sea to the Amalfi Coast, Campanella point, the Galli islands and, on particularly clear days, as far as Salerno and the Calabrian mountains.

Pit-stop Pizzolungo

Le Grottelle provides the perfect venue in which to enjoy a well earned gastronomic reward at the end of the breathtakingly beautiful coastal walk which commences at Tragara Point and the Faraglioni and terminates with a 120 step climb to reach the Natural Arch.

Le Grottelle is the ideal place in which to have lunch after completing Capri's panoramic Pizzolungo walk

A Hidden Gem Worth the Walk

We had an amazing lunch at Le Grottelle. Everything felt incredibly fresh and unfussy, from the freshly caught snapper to the octopus carpaccio and vongole pasta. Easily one of the best rustic Italian comfort meals I’ve had on my European summer trip. What made it even better was the setting. The restaurant has a spectacular view over Capri and the sea, and it feels wonderfully removed from the busier parts of the island. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm and attentive throughout our lunch. It is a bit of a walk to get there, especially in the summer heat, but absolutely worth it. Great food, beautiful views and genuine hospitality. One of my favourite meals in Capri.

Possibly to be avoided

After a short walk, one reaches the hotel - a wonderful location and a breathtaking view await the guest. The food is excellent - especially the fresh fish, which is impressive. Very good wine selection and attentive service - top-notch! It is best to rely on the owner's recommendations; we were not disappointed.

A bit too expensive

I cannot say that I ate poorly, but the prices are very high: 5 euros for the cover charge with paper napkins, 22 euros for a stuffed pepper seemed really too much to me, very kind staff, good food but the bill seemed a bit excessive.

Map

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