Capri's most beloved traditional restaurant since 1934 — steps from the Piazzetta, serving a leading versions of Caprese classics: ravioli capresi, totani e patate (squid and potatoes), grilled fish, and the wine list of 1,500+ bottles from which a sommelier will guide you with genuine passion.
Why It Belongs on the List
La Capannina has been serving Capri's most beloved traditional cuisine since 1934 — a family restaurant two steps from the Piazzetta that has outlasted every trend and fashion on the island by simply being excellent. The classics: ravioli capresi (the definitive version, they'll argue), totani e patate (Capri's beloved squid cooked with potatoes in tomato — a deceptively humble masterpiece), linguine alle vongole, grilled dentice, and an extraordinary wine cellar of 1,500+ bottles that a passionate sommelier will navigate for you with genuine joy. The terrace fills with a mix of regulars and visitors; the atmosphere is warm and timeless. The most honest expression of Caprese cooking on the island.
