Fun & Inspiration
Da Luigi's is nothing if not well-named: it truly is "at the Faraglioni," wedged into the rocks at sea level between the cliffs of Capri proper and the first of the sea stacks that rise dramatically from the waters. The boat ride here is spectacular, cutting between the Faraglioni themselves just as Odysseus did.
Reserve a seat at the edge of the shaded terrace for an intimate study of the Sirens' stony home. The site is a natural wind tunnel—sometimes chilly in spring or fall, but welcome at the height of summer.
Unfortunately, the food isn't nearly as remarkable as the setting. Best are the spaghetti alla malafemmina ("evil woman's" pasta, with baby tomatoes, capers, olives, basil, and hot peppers) and ravioli alla caprese (sauced with tomatoes and mozzarella).
Afterward, try pollo alla griglia, a fritto Italia (mixed fry of julienned zucchini, ravioli, supplí rice balls, eggplant, and potato croquettes), or zuppa di cozze (mussel soup).
