Follow your nose to this legendary, sweet-smelling Caprese fave for breakfast, beach picnics, and on-the-hoof snacks. Buonocore lures you down its steps on a Capri Town lane with all manner of pizze, panini, gelati, and paste, including their specialty almond and lemon Caprilú biscotti.
Occupying Sant'Angelo's main square since the 1950s, this family-run institution has views of the beach and La Roia promontory. Dine inside or out on creative pizzas and seafood and pasta dishes, or simply drop by for house-made ice cream (often with unusual flavors), liquors made in-house, or sumptuous desserts like a Cava Grado beignet cake or pear and chocolate tart.
Just above the Grotta Azzurra with a to-die-for view of the Sorrentine coast and Vesuvius, Il Riccio is a true Mediterranean experience. Capri Palace Jumeirah's executive culinary chef Andrea Migliaccio, supported by executive chef Salvatore Elefante, has created a menu featuring innovative takes on typical Neapolitan recipes, based mainly on seafood. For those with a sweet tooth, the famous dessert room offers the widest selection of local pastries on the island. Alas, sun beds at the beach club are reserved for the hotel's guests.
Gelato made artisanally from local ingredients and a selection of cocktails make this bar a great place to stop at the Marina Corricella.
A stop here for some gelato or granita is a must upon arriving in Ischia Ponte.
With twinkly lit tables on a large terrace, plus a stylish bar for apertivi and dopo-cena carousing this place is a good bet for sophisticated versions of Caprese and Neapolitan classics. Warm host Pietro and the capable crew will guide you through the changing menu—standouts may include the candele alla Genovese, slow-cooked beef and onion pasta with novel additions, and roasted turbot with shallot cream.
