Da Paolino

This lemon grove oasis in Capri is a show-stopper for sure when visiting the island. Recommended by our island friend, Vincenzo we just had to give it a try. The ambience and setting are idyllic for Capri as you sit amongst the olive trees on candle-lit tables. We happened to walk by before service started and the training for the evening was taking place. I love seeing that. The staff was attentive, polite and professional. As other reviewers have said, the dessert bar is a real treat. Be aware that there is a charge per plate so if you over-stuff your dessert plate with the choices it might be a hefty add-on. It's o.k. it is worth it. I tried the tiramisu and Torta Caprese (named for the island) We also enjoyed lemon ravioli too and bufalo mozzarella appetizers. Capri is an expensive island to visit so don't be surprised at your bill, it's an island and many food items have to travel. It is definitely worth it here. We didn't see any celebrities but enjoyed watching others snap as many pictures as they could. I would also recommend dressing up a little bit, casual shorts and beach attire did not seem to be anywhere we looked.

The lovely lemon grove with all the beautiful plates, settings and the scent from the trees is unmatchable. The service was wonderful, attentive and friendly. The three appetizers we had we very good having a unique lemony twist to some. But the main dishes were not that great, not horrible, but not great. Have eaten hundreds of meals better and at far less cost. The fried calamari and shrimp were overcooked, rubbery and lacked discernible seasoning. The wine list is fairly extensive. Minus the wine, we spent about 500 E for dinner for six. Stick with appetizers if you go.
