Ristorante Il Solitario

This is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Our waitress’s grandmother opened the restaurant many years ago, and it is truly family run. The meatballs were outstanding and the best we had on our trip. Atmosphere was excellent as well. Would 100% recommend. Traveler from NC.

This restaurant has been the highlight of our week in Anacapri. Our big group chose to have dinner here not one but two times, and in both occasions they had been able to accommodate us with little notice. The inner garden is really beautiful and each plate is custom painted. Food is prepared on demand and is really delicious. Top picks for main course are scialatielli alla pescatora and fettuccine with rabbit, and the pistachio cake deserves a mention too. All the waiters have been kind and helpful, easily switching between Italian and English depending on everyone's preference. Sometimes a friendly cat passes by the tables to greet the newcomers.

Service slow and sloppy. Table next to ours meals were delivered to another table, left and then when table informed server, the meals were re-delivered to correct table. We ordered pasta porcini and pasta with rabbit. Both were not cooked well and porcini wasn’t even cleaned so we ended up with gritty dirt in sauce. Virtually no rabbit in rabbit dish. Best to avoid Solitario in favour of chaotic and better managed other options.

Good typical local rest, with a garden in the back and also an air conditioner room indoors. The service is good. The portions could be a bit bigger. Not cheap, but nothing is cheap in Capri/Anacapri.

We always look forward to dining at Il Solitario in Anacapri with friends. This charming restaurant captures the essence of the island with its delightful ambiance and top-quality dishes. The homemade pasta and fresh seafood are simply divine, and the flavors are incredible. The garden setting provides a perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have an exceptional experience every time. If you're in Anacapri, Il Solitario is a must-visit for a taste of the island's best cuisine.

OMG! 90€ For the WORST meal ever!!! without a soul! too salty and too sour! worst lunch on Capri and we've been here for 5 days, avoid this place!!! out of 20 vongols, 8 were for eating SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!! the waitress was uninterested!! I still can't believe how bad it was here!!! I am so mad!!!

Stopped by here during our recent trip and am so glad we did! It’s a little tucked away so make sure you look out for the sign on the street. It’s a cute garden setting. The food was amazing. Absolutely recommend getting the lemon pasta. Others got seafood and also said it was so fresh and delicious.

We took little bus to Anacapri from Capri for the afternoon and just literally stumbled upon this hidden gem after walking a little away from where the bus dropped us off. We had not done any research for restaurants. When we saw the entrance, the menu looked amazing! We are Italian, but live in Texas and haven't had food this authentic and delicious since .....well, I can't remember. Everything is delicious, however; we highly recommend the homemade pasta items on menu! We ordered the mussels and clams dish, and the homemade pasta with eggplant, tomatoes, and mozzarella. Oh, yes, and a bottle of rose, too. The entrance and walk through the little path into the restaurant is very cool, also. It's like a little escape.......lots of locals there for lunch with us, too!

It's hard to find a non-touristy place up here. The garden patio at this restaurant is lovely and the prices are decent. But the cooking lacks much attention to flavor and the service is inconsistent.

This place was amazing. A hole in the wall. I almost didn't post this to prevent yall from coming but it's so delicious that I decided to share my happiness .

We enjoyed our lunch in the steamy - but cooler than the sidewalks during this summer 2023 heat wave. Lovely staff. Delicious Caprese Salad (of course!) and our entrees of shrimp ravioli and spaghetti with cherry tomatoes were delicious. Especially fresh and flavorful bread.

The best shrimp ravioli I've ever had. I went here back in October and it was easily my favorite meal in Italy. We went on a quiet weekday night and had the backyard area to ourselves. This place was recommended by a local and it was such a treat ! Service was excellent. Will be recommending to everyone I know.

Not very authentic Italian food place. After walking around thought this place looked good and authentic but wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be :) Have mixed feelings; not sure if I want to recommend this place or not. I personally would not go back, would try something different.

This is typically the spot for tourists: industrial products, italian dishes on the menu, romantic music...and that's all. I happen to know a bit italian food and this place does not serve quality. The mozzarella is plastic, the rocket has no taste, so as the tomatoes. I had some ravioli which were hot and the sauce on the top it was cold (and did not taste tomato at all). What the ***? Furthermore it's not cheap, we paid 37€ each for a starter, main course and a bottle of wine. You have to avoid this place!

It's definitely a hidden gem. Good selection of food options. Good staff. And definitely tasty.

I'm re-rating this trattoria from a 5* to a 1* because the original owners sold the property a few years back which I wasn't aware of until this past summer...and now it's a completely different Owner & staff and menu. I've been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years and the original owner "Linda" was AMAZING and the food phenomenal! One of the best little places for a casual bite ever! The Pizza, pastas and fish. Now to tell u the truth a nice British couple owns it and I cannot verify the food or the quality... so your on your own. We really miss the food served when Linda owned the restaurant. It was worth the visit to Capri every year!

Not good at all, and I'm a pretty forgiving person. The 8 euro mixed salumi plate was the cheapest I've seen in any restaurant - 2 meager slices of 3 different kinds of salumi and maybe 4 small pieces of cheese. I know it was Anacapri but this was a joke. We had to wait about 20 minutes before even getting the starter, and we finished the entire bread basket out of desperation and hunger. My saute "mixed" seafood was basically zuppa di cozze but with a few added clams, and 2 euro more expensive than a normal zuppa di cozze. I felt robbed. My boyfriend's eggplant melanzane was hot and cheesy but should have been filled up to the top of the small ceramic bowl, and it wasn't. Very cheap restaurant on the portion size, a total tourist trap. 55 euro for one of the most disappointing meals I've ever had.

I can highly recommend this Trattoria. As the other reviewer says,at first you wonder if you are going the right way as you feel as if you are walking through a private garden but don't turn back as this place is BEAUTIFUL. The food is amazing & the prices very reasonable. You can almost get a full meal for the price of a sandwich & a glass of wine in rip off Capri Town. The sea food is particularly to be recommended. My wife asked for grilled fish. The proprietor brought her 3 fish on a silver salver to chose from. When cooked the fish was brought to the table & taken off the bone. It was amazing, not a single bone was left in the fish. I love this place & hope to go back again & again
