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 charming, family-run restaurant tucked away near Capri’s stunning Natural Arch. Warm hospitality, authentic flavors, and breathtaking views make this a truly special dining experience. Every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and genuine care, in a relaxed yet thoughtful atmosphere. It feels like home — with the scent of the sea and the taste of tradition. Highly recommended!

Located near the Natural Arch be ready to walk a bit uphill from the center of Capri; please do though take the walk, it is a family owned restaurant where they make you feel right at home. At first the doting waiter seems like he is simply awaiting your order but then you learn it is simply his style. The chef comes down to the dining floor a few times and makes the rounds and the grandfather who we guess is an owner makes the rounds too. We had prosecco before we headed to dinner so tonight was dinner with still water. We started with a shared dish of grilled vegetable and burrata, simply delicious and the burrata so mild. We ordered two portions of Pasta Sciue Sciue, fantastic of course, and closed with eggplant parmigiana, so nicely cooked and not deep fried as they do in the USA. Reservations are only avail by phone so call in advance and make one! And funny story while we’re at it, we did the Natural Arch hike and after rising the stairs tired and completely parched earlier in the day we dined where we did buy our bottle of water, here! And we did not even realize until we came back for dinner!

Le Grottelle is a great place for dinner in Capri. Luigi greets everyone who visits his restaurant. The pizza and pasta are outstanding, but don't miss the chicken. Great wine list and very reasonable.

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.
