La Palette Ristorante

I rarely feel compelled to write reviews, but my recent visit to La Palette Ristorante was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and seamless. The food, however, was the true star of the show. Each dish was a breathtaking masterpiece, bursting with delicate yet bold flavors that danced on my palate like an explosion of culinary artistry. Every bite left me in awe of the creativity and care put into the menu. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this is the place to go—hands down, a gem worth raving about!

We absolutely loved our experience at La Palette, they’ve got the freshest finest Italian ingredients made and served in a creative way, the whole restaurant was built and decorated with so much creativity, the view is unbelievable, I can’t wait to be back!

we were looking for a place off the beaten track, and boy, did we luck out! the stunning setting, delicious food, and super friendly service - all to our full satisfaction! the moment we sat down we knew we needed a bottle of rosé and fortunately they had one of our favorite on the menu - villa dora rosato - devine! the food highlights were the fresh marinated anchovies with perfect acidity augmented by the peppery evo - the skin on the grilled sea bass had an incredible crunch, and the fish was seasoned very well accompanied by broccoli, olives and capers. the delizia al limone and limcello were a fitting finale to an unforgettable meal. brava and thank you, veronica and your great team!

Beautiful food and views! My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch here!

Review of La Palette, Capri We visited La Palette with a large group and enjoyed our experience overall. The food was good; we had chicken, eggplant, and finished with tiramisu for dessert. Service was ample, though not the quickest, likely due to our group size. The location is on a hilltop, so be prepared for a bit of a walk up. The setting is worth it, though, as the views are stunning and the cool breeze adds to the charm. It’s a great spot for a leisurely meal with a beautiful panorama of Capri.

Beautiful view spot and amazing aperol spritz! They give us some appetizer very good! 😍

Delicious food. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great view

We went to la palette today for lunch with high expectations. The view was incredible and the spritz and caprese salad were lovely but that’s where it ended. The gnocchi was interesting but very rich and I’ve definitely had better in Rome for half the price. The spaghetti with capri prawns was bland, fishy and completely over priced. For €136 I expected much better!! Very disappointed and would not recommend after the hike to get there!! On top of all that we asked to change tables after our first drinks because the sun was encroaching and the waitress said NO even though there was only one other table of customers in the entire restaurant!

Perhaps our favorite dinner of our 16 day trip! Pastas and seafood all great! Beautiful views of the island and water. Lovely patio and very genuinely nice service. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was recommended by our house host mostly because it was close to us and it was our first night in Capri and we were tired. The views were excellent and the restaurant had like a Greek, Mediterranean feel. However, we found most of the food disappointing. We had the caprese salad, octopus, shrimp carpaccio, steak, sea bass, and two types of pastas. The shrimp carpaccio was really good. Everything else was mediocre. Considering everything is triple the price of Rome, and after the host told us that all food in Capri would be excellent, we were extremely disappointed. Everyone showed up dressed to the nines as well, and so it sort of felt like a place to be seen. I'm not sure- we were dressed like a family on vacation. It was a lovely time but I would not come back and it made us question the quality of all of the other restaurants on the island. I would recommend for the view, and not for the food. Service was also quite attentive.

While all of Capri is filled with breathtaking views, there's nothing like having a romantic dinner with great food while taking in those views the whole time! This is my favorite restaurant in Capri (and we tried all the top ones). The food is delicious and the staff is very sweet. I would definitely go back whenever I visit Capri again!

amazing view and very fresh, simple food with lots of flavor. Wait staff is very nice! molto bene!!

The most magical place for dinner! What a gem in Capri. Yes, the trek is quite long, and in sweltering August Capri weather, this means that you may arrive with frizzy hair, but the food is worth it. We had the most delicious seafood risotto and lemon pasta, while we could hear live music in the streets behind the restaurant while watching the sunset on Capri. Breathtaking. Great food and service, with an affordable bill at the end. What more can you ask for!

This was my most memorable meal on Capri, and perhaps for my entire honeymoon in Italy. If you're looking for cuisine inspired by classic Caprese and Neapolitan traditions, this is the spot. La Palette is definitely a bit of an uphill walk outside the village center, but it is 100% worth it. Not only are you getting away from the crowds, but you feel like you're being welcomed into a neighborhood restaurant, one with an exquisite view and excellent food! The restaurant's owner was our waiter this evening. He was very friendly and engaging, thrilled to have a conversation with customers who were genuinely interested in his restaurant and cuisine. The meal began with an amuse bouche. My description won't do it justice, but it was an encrusted mushroom atop herbed chopped tomatoes. It did exactly what an amuse bouche should do: make the diners excited for the meal to come. My wife and I typically opt to share dishes, so that we can taste a broader spectrum of what the restaurant has to offer. Without us asking or expecting it, La Palette generously split each dish into half-plates. Speaking of plating, La Palette takes its art themes seriously, especially when it comes to beautiful plating and presentation. Each menu item was more beautiful than the last. I also must mention the outstanding bread basket here. In a country known for great bread, this basket was outstanding. We didn't spare a crumb. As for what to order, I truly believe you cannot go wrong with any of their dishes. Fish? Excellent. Pasta? Excellent. If you want something quintessentially Neapolitan, get their Sartu di Riso (rice timbale). Wow, it was good. On an island where some restaurants don't try hard because it's a popular tourist spot, it can be challenging to find a truly memorable meal. Take a hike to La Palette and you'll find it.

We were wandering around Capri with no agenda and decided to take the narrow walkway towards Villa Jovis. We passed a number of private hotels and villas and wondered where we could get a quick drink. That's when we came around a bend and saw La Palette. We were greeted by a young woman who had a young baby. I gathered that was the chef's wife. She escorted us to an outdoor table that had an incredible view of the harbor from above. That's when we decided to forgo the trek and stay for lunch. No doubt this is a romantic spot. The views were incredible. The menu was lean but there was a variety of choices. I noticed there was a margherita pizza but I settled on a pasta and my wife had the ravioli. We topped it off with a desert that had vanilla gelato with fresh strawberries and cracked coconut. Our waitress was extremely professional.

We were actually trekking over to another restaurant farther away when we got to the very top of the hill and decided we were too tired and hungry to keep going and decided to find the nearest restaurant, and this was it. It was pretty empty (not usually a good sign) but we didn't care. We were seated on the patio and the views were magnificent. Some of the best views in Capri, hands down. At that point we decided we didn't really care what the food was like so long as we could sit and enjoy this view. The bread was not the best, but I've learned that bread quality has nothing to do with overall meal quality around here. We ordered some calamari and I think it may be the best calamari I've EVER had. We devoured it. Everyone ordered a pasta with seafood dish and every dish was a knockout. The fish was SO fresh and the flavors were phenomenal. This was easily one of my favorite meals of the trip almost entirely because it's such a magnificent view, but the food was spectacular to match.

My wife and I dined at La Palette after passing by on the way to the Arco Naturale earlier the same day. The views from the terrace overlooking the Via Tragara with the piazzetta on the right are breathtaking. Our server, Carmine, was extremely friendly and guided us through the wine list and specials. After a beautiful starter of squid in a white chocolate pearl served in an oyster shell (which was incredible), we settled on the homemade ravioli with sweet peas and shrimp in tomato sauce as our first course, grilled octopus for our second, and the flan with gelato and tiramisu for dessert. I am generally not a fan of peas or shrimp, but the first course was light and fresh and full of flavor, and came together in a way that worked beautifully. The grilled octopus was delicious with a beautiful presentation, and was a rich as a steak. Both of the desserts and pairings with digestivos suggested by Carmine were amazing as well. Prices are reasonable for Capri (€100-200 for 2 with 2-3 courses with wine depending on selections), especially in terms of the value delivered. The attention to detail by Carmine and the young chef are obvious, allowing La Palette to strike the almost impossible balance of being effortlessly refined and at the same time warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. The overall experience in terms of setting, presentation, flavors, and service was world class. Be sure to enjoy this gem while it is still relatively undiscovered - it won't be for long.
