Fun & Inspiration
Le Grotelle has a great sea cove vista from its shaded terrace outside a natural grotto at the end of a scenic walk from Capri.
Keep in mind that this is a thoroughly a touristy restaurant with, sadly, particularly shoddy service. They may smile as they set down the bread basket, but overall seem to view patrons merely as an inconvenient means to their source of income.
However, if you're strolling this way and want lunch with a view, reserve ahead for a railside terrace table since the setting can't be beat.
The food's not bad, either. Prosciutto e fichi (prosciutto over fresh figs, in season) is a nice variant on the usual melone, after which you can sample spaghetti alle vongole or ravioli alla caprese (stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella in tomato sauce) before moving on to pollo al forno or gamberoni alla brace (grilled jumbo shrimp).
