The best restaurants ILES DU GOLFE DE NAPLES

The short ten-minute walk from Terrazza Brunella to the centre of Capri is well worthwhile and offers beautiful views. Moreover, the residential area of this hotel-restaurant is very quiet. The main asset of this good address is that it offers a breathtaking view of the whole bay of Capri and Monte Solaro; the cosy and comfortable atmosphere adds a not inconsiderable romantic touch. A good choice of wines, good food and good advice from the staff will make you spend a pleasant moment.

Access via the stairs of the clock tower, to the right of the tourist office. The view on the small square of Capri is the most beautiful, the terrace of the restaurant dominates the tourist agitation and allows to quietly observe the ebb and flow of visitors. Fabrizio, the owner, is passionate about wine and the choice of his menu is proof of this: over 300 Italian bottles. To accompany it, pasta dishes or the house speciality, fritto misto. The decoration of the room, made by a Neapolitan architect, is modern and successful.

The oldest restaurant on the island (1912) has been run for three generations by the D'Alessio family. Its fine and traditional cuisine delights gourmets and delights all the stars who visit the island. Try the pizza all'acqua, the house specialty, made of a very thin dough, delicious. The menus vary according to the seasons, no freezer for the fish bought from day to day. The sommelier Mia D'Alessio has built up the best wine cellar on the island. A gastronomic address in Capri, with prices to match.

The only 2-star establishment on the island. Chef Andrea Migliaccio, a native of Ischia, has worked with the greatest international chefs. For more than 15 years he has concentrated his culinary research on the aromas of the Mediterranean. On the menu: subtle, punchy and sophisticated cuisine. The restaurant is located in the Capri Palace; its very cosy room gives the impression of being a guest of this prestigious establishment for an evening. After dinner, a coffee in the bar of the palace allows you to appreciate part of its contemporary art collection.

From the bus driver to the shopkeeper, from the fisherman to the Petit Futé, everyone will recommend Le Arcate. This is normal because this restaurant, run from father to son, offers excellent value for money. Luigi and Michele Cappiello work hard under the eyes of their mother to satisfy the appetite of their customers. The room evokes the land and fishing; at the back, beautiful ceramics recall the main activities of the restaurant: pizza, seafood and fish. Good wine list. A success.

One of the oldest restaurants in town. There was a time when people came here to play cards and watch television. A time when La Rondinella was the only pub in Anacapri with a cathode ray tube. Today it is a good little restaurant, in a building with traditional architecture, which is still reflected in the alcoves of the main room. The speciality of the house: linguine alla ciammorra. The pizzas are decent (but we preferred those of the Arcate restaurant). The outside terrace, well shaded, is very pleasant.

This trattoria, one of the oldest on the island, remains a safe bet. Set back from the busy Via Orlandi, you can enjoy a quiet lunch in the shade of an arbour. The bread and fresh pasta are homemade and the ingredients carefully selected. Try, for example, the rabbit fettuccine with cherry tomatoes and sheep's cheese, or the swordfish fettuccine with pistachios and lemon. All served on beautiful ceramic plates bearing the restaurant's name. Excellent tiramisu for dessert.

Adorable fish establishment in blue and white tones, built on stilts, on the Lido beach. It is entirely glassed in and offers a superb view of the sea, the island of Procida opposite and the Bay of Naples. The place is particularly romantic in the evening. The welcome is charming and the refined cuisine exalts the flavour of the fish and seafood. We liked the assortment of croquettes as antipasti, the risotto with vongole and rocket pesto, the pasta with scampi and courgette cream, as well as the good selection of white wines.

No fish and seafood here: at Bracconiere, Ischia's highest restaurant, you'll be served "poacher's food", made from the good products of this generous island. The speciality is rabbit, but the house also offers grilled meats, plates of antipasti that can make up a meal on their own, and cheese pasta served inside rustic bread, so that the crust soaks up the sauce. A good address to try, for example, after climbing Monte Epomeo.

A somewhat isolated restaurant, which enjoys a splendid panoramic position over Ischia Porto and the sea on the horizon. In an old-fashioned room, Damiano prepares authentic and traditional Ischia cuisine for his guests. He has his own rabbit farm, and his small estate provides him with the vegetables, capers and aromatic herbs that go into his dishes. Fish and seafood, caught in the waters of Ischia, are also on the menu. In short, freshness and quality for a typical and generous cuisine.

In front of the harbour, a small restaurant. Typical cuisine in Campania.

Ideal for immersing yourself in the bustle and life of the port. Plastic chairs, colourful tablecloths and large umbrellas: on the terrace of this unpretentious bar-restaurant you can enjoy simple, honest food, such as spaghetti with anchovies and Procida lemons, or just have a drink. The name of the restaurant is directly inspired by the heroine of Lamartine's novel, Graziella, dedicated to the young woman with whom the poet fell madly in love in Procida.

A small establishment with white panelling and picture windows overlooking the Chiaiolella Marina, not far from the public beach of the same name. The cuisine is mainly based on fish, caught daily off the coast of Procida, and the restaurant also offers good quality pizzas. Classic traditional dishes well executed and served in generous portions. The family-run restaurant offers a friendly welcome and efficient service. The atmosphere is relaxed and frequented by regulars and families.

A historic and elegant address. Its terrace overlooks the surrounding area, and the magnificent view is as exclusive as its excellent cuisine, inspired by local tradition and reinterpreted by the expert hands of its chefs: a must-see for discerning palates. Fresh ingredients are selected on a daily basis, and vegetables and fruit are harvested zero kilometers away, in the gardens surrounding the restaurant. Elegant premises with irresistible charm. A gustatory journey through the aromas and scents of the island.
