Ristorante Bar Columbus is located right in the center of Anacapri on the upper part of the island of Capri next to the chairlift to Monte Solaro. It's a welcoming restaurant where you can sip a cocktail or enjoy a light lunch before strolling the town's picturesque winding lanes.

On cold winter weekends starting in mid-November, in the afternoon you can relax with a hot tea and pastries directly from Sicily.

Capri cuisine wrapped up in a snack

Tradition and creativity come together at Columbus in appetizing dishes with authentic Mediterranean flavors and genuine island flair. Choose from a wide selection of snacks or opt for a light lunch between visits. Enjoy the best of local cuisine without taking precious time away from discovering the beauty of Capri.

On the Columbus website you can purchase olive oil produced by the "L'Oro di Capri" association, which preserves the ancient tradition of Capri olive oil production. The association supports farmers in maintaining all-natural olive oil production techniques, as well as in the cultivation of local olives and the preservation of the island's ancient olive groves.

Local tradition with local products

And if you're not in a hurry, the Columbus restaurant is the perfect place for an elegant and relaxed lunch, enjoying traditional specialties prepared with top quality seasonal ingredients. The ingredients come from among the best the island has to offer, carefully hand-picked by the owners, who are local Anacapri natives.

If you like meat, you'll also find an excellent selection of choice cuts prepared on the grill, which you can pair with farm-to-table vegetables grown under the Capri sun.

Overpriced and not gluten free friendly

My partner and I visited this restaurant during early June 2026 as some of the reviews stated that it was excellent for gluten free options. However, this is not the case as they only have one type of gluten free pasta, which is penne. The waiter appeared quite pushy for people to order the blue crab as this was locally sourced and I noticed a number of people ordering this. I ordered the gluten free pasta with blue crab, which was significantly overpriced, particularly as the crab was so small there was only a table spoon amount of crab meat in the very small claws. My partner is not coeliac and had the ravioli, which was served in a pan, but only a very small portion. Although the restaurant looks very nice, I would not recommend this for people looking for gluten free options, also as the food is extremely overpriced for what you get.

Too expensive!

Beautiful room upstairs, but like all the restaurants in Anacapri, the prices have gone crazy! A lasagna for 25 euros, drinks that are inaccessible. I understand why so many people on the street are eating sandwiches and other snacks!

The people/staff and food behind this restaurant were nothing but perfection!!! My family and I came to Italy for my college graduation trip and we felt nothing but love from the team at this spot. We stopped by for a quick breakfast and loved it so much we went back for lunch. 10/10 recommend!!!!

Insufficient value for money.

The dishes are generally good but very small (perhaps the least bad option is to order pasta). Be careful, the glass of wine is €12, horrifically expensive. Overall, we were disappointed by this restaurant.
