Best Date Night Restaurants in Capri 2026
Published · Updated
The date-night pick in Capri for 2026 is L'Olivo. Editorial runners-up: Le Monzu, Il Riccio, Ristorante Indaco, Da Paolino.
Two Michelin stars on a four-square-mile island, and three more starred terraces within a short drive of them. Nineteen Capri rooms in our directory; six make the date, ranked from the island's grandest table to its lemon-grove classic.
Six Capri Tables for Date Night
Andrea Migliaccio holds two Michelin stars at the Capri Palace, Via Capodimonte 2 in Anacapri. Blue lobster ravioli, black-truffle beef. The only two-star room on the island and the grandest date Capri offers. Book well ahead.
One Michelin star on a Le Corbusier-designed terrace at Hotel Punta Tragara, Via Tragara 57. Refined Campanian cooking while the Faraglioni rise out of the sea below. The view is the reason; the kitchen earns the star.
One Michelin star on the cliffs above the Blue Grotto, the Capri Palace's beach-club restaurant on Via Gradola. Frutti di mare, a famous dessert room, white limestone and open sea. Lunch slides into a long afternoon date.
The most refined contemporary Italian table in Anacapri, set in a hotel garden on Via Roma. A seasonal menu and a quiet, planted terrace away from the crowds. The grown-up alternative to the cliff-edge rooms.
Dinner under a canopy of lemon trees at Via Palazzo a Mare 11. A Capri institution; book months ahead in summer. Ravioli capresi, fritto misto, limoncello from the trees overhead. The island's most photographed table.
A century-old room steps off the Piazzetta at Via Fuorlovado 18. Neapolitan classics, the pizza all'acqua, a wine list deeper than the front room suggests. Where Capri's regulars eat. The value date, and the most local.
How to Book
L'Olivo, Le Monzu and Da Paolino need three to four weeks in summer, and Da Paolino's lemon-grove tables go first of all. Il Riccio and Indaco want a week or two. Aurora, in town, will usually seat a couple within a few days.
Sunset is the prize. Book Le Monzu and Il Riccio early enough to catch the light on the Faraglioni and the open sea. In town, Aurora and Da Paolino run later and lively. Many island rooms close for the winter, so confirm the season before you plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
The editorial pick for 2026 is L'Olivo, Andrea Migliaccio's two-Michelin-star room at the Capri Palace in Anacapri, the only two-star table on the island. For the view, Le Monzu on its Le Corbusier terrace at Hotel Punta Tragara and Il Riccio above the Blue Grotto both hold a star and look straight onto the sea.
Da Paolino is the most romantic table in Capri: dinner under a dense canopy of lemon trees near Marina Grande, the island's most photographed dining room. For a romantic view rather than a setting, Le Monzu's terrace over the Faraglioni rocks is the alternative. Both need booking weeks ahead in summer.
Capri is a luxury island and priced like one. A date dinner for two runs roughly EUR 350 to EUR 550 without wine at L'Olivo's two stars, and EUR 200 to EUR 320 at the one-star terraces, Le Monzu and Il Riccio. Da Paolino and Indaco sit around EUR 150 to EUR 240, with Aurora the gentler bill in town.
Book L'Olivo, Le Monzu and Da Paolino three to four weeks ahead in summer; Da Paolino's lemon-grove tables are the hardest seats on the island. Il Riccio and Ristorante Indaco want a week or two. Aurora, just off the Piazzetta, will usually take a couple within a few days, even in peak season.
Capri dresses elegantly but rarely formally. Smart resort wear is correct everywhere on this list; a linen jacket reads right at L'Olivo, Le Monzu and Indaco, and is never wrong elsewhere. Da Paolino and Il Riccio lean relaxed for their garden and seaside settings. Skip beachwear at dinner at all six.
