Pescheria Le Botteghe

A very small, very simple, very straightforward restaurant serving delicious fresh fish at a very fair price. Recommended. A lot of Capri is over priced tourist tat selling mediocre food at extraordinary prices. That is especially true of fish. But this is the real deal. Squeaky fresh, delicious, authentic vibe, full of Italians. It is small and you might have to wait, but the tables turn over fast and it is worth it.

It is a particular place: casual and characteristic as it is a fishmonger restaurant in the center of Capri. Excellent dishes, fresh fish and well cooked. Neapolitan seafood cuisine. Service a bit spartan. Prices correspond to Service.

Fresh fish and excellent quality, we were recommended as a dish of the day of the monkfish paccheri and spectacular cherry tomatoes, grilled tuna fillet as catch of the day exceptional. Great to try if you go to capri. Great value for money.

We stopped for a takeout dinner. Frying squid not bad, but almost ridiculously sized for the price (28 euros for a calmro, perhaps). In the first course, scialatielli with mussels and river chilli, the mussels had escaped and the few remaining were absolutely tasteless. The worst part is their trio of tartares. Poor quality fish, bordering on edible. On the menu the tartare consists of salmon, tuna and amberjack. The salmon was tasteless, we didn’t even finish it. The amberjack of slightly better quality, but still not up to scratch. The worst thing was the replacement of tuna with a torchfish, without even being told of this replacement. And the latter had a bad smell and taste. We returned to show our disappointment calmly and received smiles of mockery and rudeness in return. It is the classic trap for Capri tourists, those who know how to eat fish stay far away from it both for prices and quality.
