Capri Travel Guide – My Favorite Spots

Zo Healthy Capri Guide Featured image

Capri is the most magical place on earth! I’m not sure if you’ve ever been, but if you haven’t, you definitely need to put Capri on your bucket list. It’s one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ll tell you why.

Capri is an absolute island paradise located in Southern Italy. The sun seems to shine a little brighter there, and the sea glistens with a more vibrant shade of blue.

It’s an absolutely breathtaking place full of natural beauty and aliveness. Capri is known not only for its rugged landscape but also for its luxurious hotels, high-quality restaurants, and the absolute best places to shop!

Here are some of my absolute favorite travel spots you have to check out. Enjoy!

 

Restaurants

Here are my top picks for restaurants on Capri:

  • Terrazza Brunella is such a beautiful, romantic restaurant. If you can, ask for a table by the window. We had dinner there, but lunch was also wonderful!

  • Il Riccio- in Anacapri – I recommend taxiing up there. It’s only open for lunch, but it’s just amazing! The view is beautiful, the food is delicious, and they have a dessert room that is off the charts! It’s also a beach club, but they don’t allow outside guests to enjoy the beach chairs anymore, only guests of the hotel Capri Palace.

  • Caesar Augustus – This was my favorite meal and experience of the entire vacation! We got there around 7:45 for the sunset. Had drinks and then dinner at 8:30. It was magical! Ask for a table that’s for two people kind of on its own (they have these cool little areas that stick out, hard to describe but so romantic and pretty!) The food was beyond incredible, the service was outstanding, and the entire evening was amazing. It’s about a 10 minute taxi up to AnaCapri, no big deal.

  • La Capannina is a wonderful, more casual restaurant in the middle of Capri—one of our favorites!! It’s on Via delle Botteghe (one of the main little alleys to shop). We ate there a number of times; it was always delicious! He has this wonderful mashed white bean and escarole appetizer! Ask for Francesco. He’s the son and the owner. You can mention my name if you want…he knows me!

  • Aurora is considered one of the best. It offers delicious food and is THE place to be for people-watching. Many famous people have visited; it’s a scene! You must call ahead to make reservations.

  • Ristorante Faraglione has really great food, lunch or dinner. We go at least once. It’s more casual, but it has amazing food and is very well-priced.

  • Il Geranio—We had a fabulous lunch, but dinner would be awesome as well. It’s a beautiful setting looking out on the water.

  • Da Paolina—the “lemon tree” restaurant is very famous. It is a bit “touristy,” but many people love it! We’ve had dinner there a few times and always have a lovely meal, but we know it’s a little more commercial than the other spots I’ve mentioned.

  • Villa Verde is another super popular restaurant —it’s a fun scene. The food is just okay, though—not gourmet by any means—but the Caprese salad and pizza are crowd favorites!

  • Another great restaurant is Ristorante Da Tonino. It’s a bit of a walk, but the food and service are amazing.

  • Al Capri—we loved this place! It has really yummy food, great service, and is very well-priced. Ask for a window table; the view at night is gorgeous!

  • Gelateria Buonocore Capri – the best gelato, cookies, and cannolis on Capri!

  • Le Camerelle is a great spot for delicious lunch salads or lighter dinner fare.

 

  • Lo Zaffiro Capri was also an incredible experience! The most delicious, high-end food. It’s a very pretty spot, too!
  • Fontelina is amazing! You have to make reservations ahead of time, and your hotel cannot do it for you. You have to email them directly. Go for lunch and sit on a beach chair…on the rocks!! Yup, there is no sand, just rocks! But it’s fun and good to go at least once. It’s chic and amazing!

  • I also love Da Luigi, which is right next to Fontelina.

  • Lido Faro Beach Club is in Anacapri, and it is very, very nice! There is a lighthouse there…considered a very romantic spot as well. The service is wonderful, and the food is great. I don’t think they take reservations, but it’s easy to get chairs, and they are actually more comfortable than the other locations.

  • La Canzone del Mare—I haven’t been here but heard great things. I became friendly with one of the shop owners, and she suggested going, and it looks beautiful!

  • Another gem of a beach club for beach and lunch: Torre Saracena

  • If you decide to rent a boat…definitely contact Rachel from Bravissimo Capri Group at info@bravissimocaprigroup.com. She is truly wonderful!

 

After a day on the water with the boat, make your way over to one of these 2 restaurants on Nerano (a small island near Capri). Both of these places are known for the Zucchini Pasta…definitely worth having!! The food is fantastic; it’s a real experience!

 

Sight Seeing

One of the main sightseeing spots in Capri is the Blue Grotto. It’s definitely considered a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The Blue Grotto is a cave where the sea shimmers an out-of-this-world shade of blue. I have to admit the lines are ridiculously long, and access to the grotto is dependent on weather and tides.

 

    

Shopping

The shopping is amazing; you will have no issues finding incredible treasures!

  • One of my favorite jewelry shops is Chantecler. You’ll see their shop as you come down the hill after passing through the “square” on the left side. It’s fancy, but OMG, gorg! They became famous for the “Capri Bell.” In fact, seven years ago, I started my own collection of their charms – some of them are discs, and some of them are the famous “Capri Bells.” Every year I go, I make sure to get a new one to add to my collection. It’s an heirloom that I hope to pass down to my daughter someday!  If you decide to go in, mention my name, they know me 🙂 You can look around, and don’t feel pressured to buy anything. They are the nicest people! I work with Veronica.

  • My other favorite jeweler is Angela Puttini. She makes the most beautiful, unique pieces. If you go, tell Angela and her girls that I sent you 🙂 They are the sweetest!! Her address is 23 Via Le Botteghe (same ally as the restaurant La Capannina)

  • And then a few doors down from the jewelry store is a fabulous linen shop called Ersilia…the best ever! We buy lots of goodies there.

  • For amazing non-designer shoes that are gorgeously Italian-made, visit Capri Shoes Ragozzino on Via Fuorlovado, owned by a mother and son. Tell them I sent you!

  • If you want to find the BEST sandals, I highly recommend Emanuela Caruso Capri!

  • If you happen to be in Amalfi, definitely have lunch at Hotel Santa Caterina…it was amazing!! Amalfi isn’t anything special at all…I wouldn’t really suggest going, but if you happen to be passing through for any reason, go visit the hotel for sure.

  • Speaking of Hotels, Gatto Bianco Spa & Wellness is a must for an amazing spa experience. They offer a variety of services, from facials to body treatments, to manicures and pedicures – it’s truly incredible!

  • For beautiful baby clothing, accessories, and adult Capri-inspired bags, visit Capridea. The owner hand-crochets many items – it’s so unique and different. The store is up the stairs from the clock tower to the left.

  • For glassware, china, home goods, and candles… You have to visit the Capri Object store. Tell Daniela I sent you.

 

 

 

 

Exercise:

I tend to go on long walks/hikes through the terrain of Capri, but if you need to lift some weights, here’s where to go: Athena Gym – New Generation.

 

I always have such an incredible time on the island! I hope you find this guide helpful if you ever decide to visit Capri!

If you want some extra assistance planning your trip around Capri, you can connect with Rachel from Bravissimo Capri Group at info@bravissimocaprigroup.com. She is basically a concierge service for the island—from hotels to boats, reservations to parties and events, she does it all! She is absolutely wonderful at helping you explore the real beauty and magic of the island, leaving you with a unique and unforgettable experience.
