Le Monzù Capri

Le Monzù sits on Via Tragara, a five-minute walk from both the Piazzetta di Capri and the high-fashion bustle of Via Camerelle. It holds a Michelin star and is ranked 28th on the 50 Top Italy list. The room runs smart, and the kitchen focuses on Mediterranean seafood.

Most restaurants near the Piazzetta rely on the gravity of the central square to fill their tables, but Le Monzù makes a better argument for itself by retreating just far enough to quiet the noise. While its neighbours compete to be at the centre of the island’s social friction, this dining room offers a steadier experience that justifies the walk away from the crowds. It is a more deliberate choice than the spots closer to the marina, proving that the best tables in Capri are the ones that require a little effort to reach.
