Situated in the historic center of Capri, just steps away from the legendary Piazzetta, Restaurant Al Grottino is one of Capri's finest traditional eateries.

History in the making

Created within the walls of a 15th century edifice, characterized by old stone arches and cross vaulted ceilings, ever since it first opened its doors to hungry holidaymakers Al Grottino has been a favourite haunt of those looking for good honest food and wine and a charming setting in which to savor it.

Mentioned in all of the most authoritative international gastronomic guides, Restaurant Al Grottino is famous for its delicious Neapolitan cuisine and traditional island dishes, all of which prepared using only the freshest of seasonal ingredients.

A family passion

For over 80 years, Al Grottino has been run by members of the Arbace family, whose passion for quality food and fine service has made the restaurant one of the most popular on the whole island of Capri, as testified by the many photos of past and present customers which adorn the dining room walls.
During the warm summer months, it's particularly pleasant to relax over a meal in Il Grottino's air conditioned dining room.

Arbace family is the owner also of Pulalli restaurant, on the clocktower in the famous Piazzetta di Capri

Guest reviews

Il Grottino (the best)

Ho scoperto questo locale nella prima serata della mia breve vacanza nella meravigliosa Capri. Posizione perfetta (a pochi metri dalla splendida Piazzetta), locale assolutamente informale, ma degno di una “costellazione” per la qualità dei piatti e per la gentilezza del proprietario e dello staff ai tavoli. I sapori mediterranei sono veri e non falsati da ingredienti aggiuntivi. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è perfetto vista la location ed è sicuramente vincente. Dopo la prima cena ho deciso di ritornare con un bis indimenticabile. Da milanese stra-consiglio una visita a questo locale per non perdere una vera occasione di immersione in un ambiente campano DOP. Complimenti !!!!

Locale carino a due passi dalla Piazzetta, proprietario supergentile e disponibile, piatti tradizionali del luogo cucinati molto bene. Costi nella media per il posto. Eccezionali i primi con la pasta fresca. L'unico pecca da segnalre (se puo servire come suggerimento per migliorarsi): i camerieri "col fiato sul collo" per tutta la cena! sicuramente da parte loro è un segno di attenzione per le eventuali richieste dei clienti, ma ogni tanto qualcuno gradisce più privacy.

Cozy, homey seafood spot

Small, cozy (maybe 40 seats), family atmosphere. Our fresh fish was delicious—brought it to us before cooking. The owner and staff are very friendly. And the Campagnia white wines were wonderful and inexpensive—a welcome change in Capri! This is not a Michelin star “experience” but a more authentic one.

Very good traditional Italian food. We especially enjoyed the homemade pasta. The owner is also very friendly. Definitely stop by for lunch.
