Trattoria Il Solitario - Anacapri

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!

Another hidden gem the locals enjoy based on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. After a short walk down a side path you are greated by friendly staff who are working at a feverish pace pushing out amazing food in a timely manner. We had the octopus Spaghetti and Spaghetti Nerano and both were delicious. We finished with homemade pistachio and lemon cake which were savory and didn't last long on the plate.

This is such a cute restaurant! I went here with a friend while on vacation. The service was great, we were seated immediately and our meals came out quickly. I had the rabbit fettuccine, which was, chef’s kiss! I came back to the states and can’t stop raving about it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or local.

Excellent traditional Capri food! I had the rabbit casarecce, it tasted like thanksgiving garnished with rosemary. My wife had the seafood risotto which was loaded with clams and mussels. Their house wine was excellent as well. This spot is a hidden gem, with its peaceful patio, huge portions and very affordable prices. This is the place to eat in Anacapri, don't waste time with busy, expensive, tourist traps! Order one of the local dishes!

Our boat captain recommended this as it’s his favorite restaurant in Anacapri so we went for dinner that night. We didn’t have a reservation but after a minute they led us to one of the empty tables. It was the best food we had on island by far.
