Did search but can only find a few restaurant ideas for Capri and Anicapri... any ideas?
 

Hi:

Did a search but can't find a lot of suggestions for restaurants on Capri and Anicapri... we will be there in a couple of weeks with our 3 kids (ages 14, 12, 10) and would like to have a nice lunch and/or dinner? If you know of threads that I have missed or have your own suggestions, it would be must appreciated. Thanks, Lisamarc

Have you read any of Fodor's reviews? Check the restaurants link on the orange "toolbar" above. Choose Europe, and then Rome, and then you will be able to bring up a column on the left that lists Capri and the Amalfi coast as a destination from which you can read some restaurant reviews. I hope you post after your trip, because I'll be going in September!

We had a very good lunch in Anacapri last May at the Ristorante Materita. It sits near a church on a beautiful square with tiled benches and lots of flowers.

I have a review posted

Sorry, I clicked the button too quickly!

I have a review posted here: http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/restau...amp;s=anacapri. The review has a link to some more information about the restaurant. I know they have pizza (unsure if it was available at lunch... only know we didn't have it).

Our 11 year old daughter really enjoyed the meal.

P.S. Be sure to take the chairlift up to the top from Anacapri!

I did a lot of research for restaurants and following are my notes. Our family is leaving for Italy in 10 days, so I haven't had the opportunity to check any of them out. Maybe something will strike your fancy:

Thank you so much for these tips... a couple of them sound right up our alley. Grazie. Yes, I will post after our trip with some of our favorites from Venice, Tuscany, Rome and Amalfi Coast. Ciao, Lisamarc

Lisamarc,

Loved Villa Verde in Capri. Did not like Le Archi in Anacapri.

Buon viaggio!

PS, highly recommend La Brace in Praiano too!
