Da Gelsomina

The view from this Anacapri restaurant extends all the way toward Ischia and makes this an excellent choice for a special night out. It’s also enough off-the-beaten-path that you won’t encounter the tourist throngs of Capri Town (though reservations during high season are a must). The family-owned Gelsomina also functions as a B&B, but most people come here for the homemade food, which is authentic and uncomplicated. Recommends Ori Kafri, the owner of acclaimed JK Place: “A great place for a local scene is Da Gelsomina, in Anacapri which has a nice terrace and views.”
