“ I ate here with my family (5 people) and it was easily the greatest restaurant i have been to in my life. I ordered the pollo pasta (long) with white sauce and mushrooms and it was easily the best pasta dish i have ever layed my eyes on. The mushroom-chicken-cheese-pasta ratio was perfect and the white sauce was watery and creamy to perfection. I also tasted my moms pizza and it was one of the best pizzas i have eaten. The fluffiness was insane. The customer service was good. The staff was kind and spoke good english. The atmosphere was also good but it was a pretty hot day so I was sweating a lot but there were fans to keep you cool. The prices are extremly good for the food. In my own opinion i think that we're underpaying. 10/10 food would recommend. ”
“ REAL Italian hospitality in Capri! I spent a week on the island and this is the only one I kept returning to. We met Carlo, his father, his mother and all the nice staff. We spent hours sipping coffee and eating hearty italian food. I went fishing and Carlo was so kind to offer to cool our catch... This is the italian hospitality that we were hoping for this trip. ”
“ Delicious food, with the best service that we have seen in Italy; amazing cost-benefit relation; Carlos (the owner) is a super-host who confirm the happiness of the customers ”
“ We ordered just drinks. Waiters were so kind and they gave us snack for free. Really tasty limoncello spritz! :) ”
“ I initially didn’t have high expectations for Bar Il Gabbiano, given its prime location in the Port of Marina Grande, which often comes with the typical touristy fare. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent, and the service was incredibly fast, but the hospitality stood out. Our waiter was friendly and went above and beyond by offering some fantastic tips on what to see and what to skip in Capri. It made our day more enjoyable! This place is a must-visit if you’re looking for great food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend! ”
