Località Faraglioni - Capri

One of the most exclusive beach clubs and restaurants in the whole of Italy, Capri's Fontelina is a magical place; a heavenly hideaway resting at the foot of the island's legendary Faraglioni. It is also a historical place, where the Roman emperors residing on Capri once came to bathe.

Although more than 50 years have passed since they first opened their small sea-edge eatery, the Arcucci and Gargiulo families continue to run the Fontelina with the very same passion and enthusiasm; serving the same delicious cuisine and offering customers the kind of heartfelt hospitality for which the islanders are known and loved.

If you're coming to Capri, don't miss the chance to lunch in the shadow of the Faraglioni... book your table at Fontelina as soon as you arrive! Sat on Fontelina's sea view terrace, you'll be able to enjoy all of the island's favorite dishes, prepared with the freshest of fish and seafood and accompanied by a glass of the restaurant's famous sangria.

The restaurant is open for lunch and it can be combined with a day by the sea. Fontelina's rocky beach is not suitable for young children.

Rookie mistake, didn’t check reviews in advance as my wife wanted to go . Ordered shrimp and spaghetti the shrimp were non existent. Way overpriced for poor dining experience, tourist Trap for sure. Added beach club. Unbelievably they charged extra for an umbrella and 24 euros for two towels. Chairs, not daybeds , we’re off the water in the back on concrete. Very hot , no view , never to return. Save your money and go to torre Saraceno

The rudest staff I’ve ever met in my entire life. Actually baffling. For someone who works in the wine industry in New York, and having heard good things about the restaurant, I could not have been more shocked at the incompetency of the staff and rudeness of senior level personnel. We were greeted extremely well, then extremely poorly served throughout the entirety of the day. I highly do not recommend for anyone who has a semblance of taste and desire to be adequately treated in a restaurant.

Do not make the mistake of coming here unless you are a celebrity. Worst service I have ever received - terrible view tucked away in the corner looking at a set of concrete stairs. Staff are rude and there is no ambiance or music and the food was mediocre at best. Not worth the money or time.

Spiacevole delusione.

Abbiamo organizzato un giro dell’isola in barca e ci hanno prenotato il pranzo in questo ristorante/lido posto proprio sotto i faraglioni. Prenotazione risalente al mese di maggio, ma tavolo assegnato in angolo cieco (… della vista dei faraglioni neanche l’ombra - e non c’è giustificazione che tenga se non che i migliori tavoli sono riservati chissà a chi …). Qualità del cibo nella media, cucina casalinga, ma imperdonabile le linguine Fontelina con annessi crostacei e frutti di mare “freddini”, come se fossero stati aggiunti dopo (… o come se il piatto fosse stato servito dopo un po’ che fosse pronto). In definitiva una delusione, peccato.

Map

The Fontelina restaurant is located on the tiny beach at the foot of the Faraglioni, in one of the most beautiful corners of the Island of Capri.

You can reach Fontelina by boat or on foot, using the steep, downhill path which starts just beneath the Punta Tragara viewing point. If you don't fancy making the uphill return journey, you can always take the restaurant's shuttle boat service to Marina Piccola instead.
