Restaurant Visit: La Capannina (IT)

So, here I am ... this time I would like to share our impression of another restaurant we visited in our wedding break. This time after the wedding in our (rainy) short honeymoon preview in Capri (since the real one will be in July touring South Africa). Our first restaurant stop was in "La Capannina". A restaurant famous because of all VIP visiting it in peak season as witnessed by the photos on the wall.

The short review
After a disappointing meal in a starred place, this taverna-like restaurant was a good surprise. I would not say it was great food, but surely honest and enough tasty ... a tad pricey (like everything in Capri).

The long review.
The place really looks like a taverna with walls full of photos of celebrities. I have to say that the decor is a bit old-fashion but ok ... a but turistic, but ok. Better if you can get to the 'veranda'. Service is ok. An honest place (let's forget the price here ... it is Capri).

Food was not too bad. The starters were a carpaccio or octopus and green asparagus with rucola & Parmesan shaves. Nothing fancy but all tasted as it should. Presentation was not great, but again the taste was as it should.
As main course, I took squids filled with ricottina (a kind of firmer ricotta cheese) and Elke a lasagna with provola (semi-soft cheese) and aubergine. I really liked mine. A good combination my parents got once served in a starred restaurant. Elke seemed to enjoy hers as well ... it did looks tasty. Again two dishes without surprises. Tasted good and were simply presented.

All was with a Greco di Tufo of Feudi di San Gregorio. Nice.

No dessert (it was the day after the wedding .... ).

All in all, it was expensive. But ... we have paid the same amount everywhere in Capri. So when we consider we paid a standard price, we got a good meal. If in Capri I might go back there when I feel like I need a decent meal with no surprises (excluding celebrities of course).
