Il Piccolo Bar

This was the first place we came to once exiting the funicular and we fancied just sitting down with a glass of wine. We ordered 2 house white wines which were drinkable and came with some peanuts etc. It was a pleasant hour sitting in the shade watching the world go by. The place clearly attracts unsuspecting tourists as when the bill came, the cost of the pretty ordinary wine was off the scale and three times what we were paying for decent wine In Naples. I understand that Capri has a captive audience so can charge a premium. We also live on an Island so appreciate the complexities of transporting food and wine from the mainland, but the prices charge make this a place to walk on by! Down on the harbour sat in a prime position, the wine was better and half the price!!

We should have checked the menu first before ordering. Yes this place has an excellent location right on the square so you expect high prices - however ? . We sat down in the morning ordered two coffees and one croissant . When we paid it was 26 euros. 10 euros for a coffee. I thought it was a mistake the. Checked and no that is what they charge. Over the top pricing. It is our fault we should have checked first. I was thinking max 6 euros. Coffee was OK. So beware .

TOURIST TRAP! Double espresso €11 need I say more. We had 2 x Affogato and 1 double espresso bill came to €51 Service was not great either.

We were looking forward to a coffee and cake after a 25 min walk up what seemed 10,000 stairs to get to this place (found out later we could have caught a tram up but that's another story) anyway we couldn't see any prices on the wall. Seems like a ploy, because if you knew you wouldn't purchase anything here if you knew. We had two small cappucinos and I had a cookie and my husband had a small cake. it cost us $55.00 Australian dollars, WOW what a rip off! But we were warned beforehand so only had ourselves to blame. The coffee was ok, but cups were small, but that's Italy for you and the cookie was nothing to rave about. Go somewhere else I say.
