La Fontelina Capri

La Fontelina sits at the end of Via dei Faraglioni, tucked into the rocky edge of the island. The kitchen serves Mediterranean and Italian seafood.

Most dining spots on Capri rely on the town square to draw a crowd, but La Fontelina ignores the center entirely. The restaurant uses its arrangement against the cliffs to provide a meal disconnected from the island's main walking thoroughfares. It is a more demanding arrival than the trattorias near the Piazzetta, requiring a steep descent and a reservation that is often difficult to secure. Those who make the trek find a dining area that does not have to try as hard as its inland counterparts, simply because the water provides a backdrop that no interior design can replicate.
