Anema e Core Taverna

In the heart of Capri on a street packed with tourists and islanders there's a somewhat unremarkable entrance that might easily be missed by those passing by. It's hard to believe that beyond this unassuming exterior lies the island's best-known and most-loved nightclub - a favorite hangout of pop stars, politicians, high-flying managers, television hosts, philosophers, top models, and even royals.

The most famous nightclub on Capri

For a few years now, the "official voice" of Anema e Core has been Gianluigi Lembo, son of the unforgettable Guido, the club's founder and undisputed emperor of the Capri night scene until his untimely death in 2022.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Gianluigi Lembo and his band enchant the island from midnight until the break of day with the sound of Neapolitan music, transforming uptight politicians and persuading even the most inhibited visitors to let loose and dance.

"Anema e core" in local dialect means heart and soul, and guests at this club have their heart and soul lifted by the lighthearted music, dancing, and easy smiles of the staff and visitors.

There is no dress code or bouncer at the door, so anyone who wants to spend an evening in the company of Gianluigi and his band can have the time of their life. For over 20 years, locals, tourists, and international stars have been mixing it up on the same dance floor. The music is spontaneous and fun, and that's the key to the success of this traditional "taverna" that has become a local landmark over the years.

Order from a large selection of drinks and cocktails, or select a bottle of bubbly or fine wine from the cellar.
