ristorazione — Anacapri · Campania
Anacapri is reached by funicular or along roads that climb the island, away from the harbour and the crowds. On Via Giuseppe Orlandi, in the heart of the village, Casa Orlandi keeps its Mediterranean and Neapolitan kitchen open every day.
Cross the threshold and it is clear at once that this is no anonymous spot: guests are welcomed by Cristoforo and Vincenzo, faces of a family-run house that reviews describe as making everyone feel at home. Here, no detail is ever left to chance.
The dining room extends outside beneath a pergola trimmed with lemons — a Capri touch that says much about the place. Service is attentive, typical Neapolitan sweets arrive at the end of the meal unasked for, and every table receives the same care.
The wood-fired oven turns out Neapolitan pizzas with a light dough and the freshest ingredients; from the kitchen come homemade ravioli alla caprese (Capri-style ravioli) and a fried fish dish that guests describe as the real surprise of the meal. Eggplant parmigiana rounds out the local specialities.
A Capri address worth the climb up to Anacapri, off the island's more beaten paths. The full page tells you about the menu and how to book your table.
