.. the food is mediocre, but there aren't a lot of places in the world like this restaurant. You will work for the experience! Unless you arrive by boat (and there are ways) ... going down isn't bad ... but coming up you'll have a very exhausting walk up several stairs and uphill paths. It's really quite a climb back up. No heights ... but quite a workout! You'll see lots of sweaty, out of breath people (whom are in shape) going up as you walk down. I really don't know if an elderly or overweight person could manage.Once you get to the bottom, you'll see a rather unremarkable looking restaurant with a thatched type of roof at the bottom of Capri's most famous natural rocks. The other side looks over the dazzling blue waters and an interesting beach club. The views are spectacular ... cliffs and blue ocean. There are lots of restaurants with views in Capri ... but none really like this. Dolce Gabana filmed its latest cologne comercial starring David Gandy at the beach 'club' connected.As mentioned, reservations are hard to get. Lunch only has two times ... I believe there is a 1 p.m. and a 3 p.m. reservation. You'll have a much better shot booking here if you have a concierge at a top hotel make the call. (Ours was Punta Tragara who got us same day reservations.) I believe they only start taking reservations 3 days out ... so you cannot make them in advance. They don't pick up the phone always, so keep trying and you might get lucky. We heard some people were not given reservations based on our chats with others, which is odd because during our 3 p.m. reservation, there were only 5 couples in the giant restaurant.The prices are pretty high here, depending on what you order. The fresh fish was 150 Euro per serving and the lobster was 230 Euro. Don't get too spooked though, they have pasta dishes and some seafood dishes between 35 - 50 Euro. You aren't getting out of here under 150-200 Euro for lunch for two with wine or drinks ... so it won't be cheap. The food was rather mediocre. The views and experience was fantastic. The waiter was very nice, spoke English and wore the traditional white outfit you'd expect from a fine dining establishment. He did go out of his way to remind us at the end of the meal that, although a per person table charge appears, (cash) tips are not included ... but expected. Be prepared.We started with the Frito Misto (fried seafood) which was mostly calamari rings and a large prawn and then several tiny shrimp in the shells, which are more work to eat than they are worth. None of the shrimp were deveined and there is nothing less appetizer than scraping a line of black shrimp shit out of your meal with a fork. It was also pretty bland batter.We continued with their seafood stew, which had a watery tomato based 'broth' with lots of crushed tomatoes. It was a good dish. Plenty of muscles and clams and big pieces of white fish and salmon. Maybe a bit light on the shrimp and scallops vs. clams/mussels for the price ... but satisfying. If I had it to do over, I'd have ordered the seafood pasta because the stew was not very filling as it was mostly broth and the pasta would have been more filling.The pasta special of the day was a stuffed zucchini pasta dish which looked amazing ... they brought one to the table plated up as an example of the dish. When ours came out, it looked like the example dish was left in the sun and melted. It was kind of a mess of cheese and leaves. It tasted good though and was the best dish we ate.Overall, the view and vibe more than made up for it. In the US, this place would be packed wall to wall with annoying tourists. Here, the clientele was for the most part pretty classy, it was reserved and relaxed ... we loved that it was not crowded and that we could enjoy the peace of the surroundings. With your lunch, you have the choice of reserving a spot at their unique 'beach' club for 39 Euro per person. There are little flat spaces made of cement where couples or small groups can lay under a blue and white striped umbrella. A cushion can be rented, otherwise you are laying on cement. You'll have a waiter/attendant. We skipped the lounging but it looked very cool and unique. Capri has very few sand beaches, so if your hotel has no pool, it's worth the price to hang out here.While the actual food was not the best we had in Italy (maybe we ordered wrong ... at least everything seemed fresh) the experience was one of our most memorable in Capri. We enjoyed it and recommend anyone who is in Capri for a few days get a reservation here, if they can. This is like being in a movie location ... one of the most interesting (and famous) restaurants we've been to and worth the walk up/down.
