La Palette Ristorante

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.

We had a great lunch here during a day trip in Capri. It is a bit of a hike from the city center, so just be prepared! We were the only ones there for a while on a rainy day in Capri. Portions are great for lunch as they are on the smaller side. We honestly weren't there long enough to try anywhere else, but it was nice to get away from the crowds and the view would be gorgeous on a pretty day.

The restaurant is a little walk out of the main town down pretty streets. The service was excellent. My partner and I shared the Raviolli and Tuna for a main they were both very good. The drinks were tasty and the dessert was very good. I thought the price was OK! I would have liked bigger portions for the prices we were paying. Overall it was a beautiful place and the food was good depending on your budget!

Such a lovely and romantic setting for dinner! Alfredo is really nice, the food is great, and not too crowded either! Stunning sunset & terrace. A real gem in Capri.

Everything was divine! The food, the service, the view.. They are super friendly and helpful if you have any allergies, I tried the sea bass and a beautiful risotto with raw gambi which were both amazing. And they even had a glutenfree Capri cake! 😍 Graze mille! Would definitely recommend going here when visiing Capri!

Super tasty food and extraordinary service! I recommend the Ravioli or the pasta with shrimps, both flavourful and perfectly cooked! The view is amazing, you can see the whole coast of Capri. The people there were very nice and professional. It is worth to make a reservation here to make sure you get a place as it is really busy usually.

Extremely nice view. The place looks great and the food is good. Make sure to reserve in advance. Even though we did not have a reservation, they managed to improvise a table just to accommodate us :)

Absolutely gorgeous - and amazing hospitality. We cam to Capri for one day from Naples. We didn't plan any fine dining but since the trip was for our wedding anniversary and also reunion with my husband's mother, we thought it would be great to have a dinner with a seaside view. I found La Palette randomly on Google Maps and I thought it is great as it looks cool and also just 10-15mins away from the central part of Capri. The way to the restaurant is going up the hill - but quite enticing to take a walk. I didn't feel bothered walking at all. The decor or the restaurant is stylish and minimal - but completely balanced with that STUNNING view of Capri! The view includes an overview of the island (including the central part) and also the cliff on another side. The food is just beautifully represented and tastes good, of course, seafood is my favourite. The 3 separate sections (Antipasti, First course and Second course) are more than enough to feel full. The waiters were absolutely lovely and helpful, so overall our experience was nothing to complain about but only to compliment!

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.
