Mare by Casa Tua Capri

Mare by Casa Tua sits on Via Mulo, tucked into the shoreline of Capri. The address puts the dining room directly against the water, separating it from the dense, vertical streets that define the center of the island.

The restaurant serves Mediterranean seafood, but the primary reason to choose it over the busy trattorias in the town square is the physical isolation. While the rest of the island’s dining scene is built on the steep, claustrophobic transit of its hills, this room offers a rare, flat horizon line. You come here to strip away the noise of the main tourist thoroughfares, trading the spectacle of the piazzas for the silence of the sea. It is a necessary departure for anyone who finds the central cluster of Capri too performative to endure for more than a few hours at a time.
