Via Le Botteghe, 14 – CAPRI
If the walls of La Capannina restaurant could talk they would tell stories for months: anecdotes, curiosities, life pieces of famous people and ordinary people who over the years have shared carefree moments in one of the island’s historic restaurants. Among the many photos we cherish is that of Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy, habitué of the blue island and our tables. Many things have changed since then, but not all of them by chance. For example, the passion with which we choose the ingredients and wines of our menu has remained unchanged. Unchanged is also the attention we devote to the preparation of dishes, in search of the quality that our customers have always sought when they book a table in our restaurant. For us the local cuisine is sacred, and we tie it to a delicate reinterpretation. Not to bore even the most refined palates. Telling the story of the restaurant La Capannina is like diving into memories. It’s 1929 and Francesco comes to Capri from a small village in the Abruzzo to work as chef at the Grand Hotel Quisisana. After a couple of years, he opens a small restaurant a few steps from the Piazzetta.
In a short time becomes the destination of nobles and intellectuals who choose Capri as buen retiro
From 1961 the management passed to his son Antonio who, still today, continues the family tradition.
