Località Faraglioni - Capri

At the foot of Capri's Faraglioni rocks, where the sea is warm and crystal clear and the silence is broken only by the sound of the waves, you'll find Fontelina: the restaurant belonging to the historic beach club with which it shares its name.

A family passion

Run for more than half a century by the Arcucci and Gargiulo families, Fontelina is famous for its exquisite maritime cuisine, prepared with the freshest of fish and seafood.

If you don't fancy fish, the menu features a number of vegetarian dishes too, including the island's delicious ravioli capresi

The restaurant's sangria, provides the perfect accompaniment to dishes which are both pleasingly simple and surprisingly light.

Brides on the beach

The fabulous food, wonderful wine and breathtakingly beautiful location - within swimming distance of the Faraglioni - make Fontelina the kind of place dream weddings come true!

Fontelina is one of the island's favorite beach clubs, easily reached on foot, from the Tragara viewing terrace, or by taxi-boat from Marina Piccola.

Insider tips

We suggest you book your table as soon as you arrive on the island, especially if you plan to visit Capri in the peak summer months.

Fontelina's rocky beach is made up of shallow reefs, making it unsuitable for small children.

Ciao friends, the beach club is a must if you have the time. Make your reservation online well in advance (pro-tip: save your email confirmation, as we were greeted with a little skepticism), but we got in nonetheless. A reservation for the restaurant was required at time of online booking. At time of booking a credit card is required, but you won’t be charged for your beach club seats, drinks, amenities, and food until you check out of the restaurant. Total for the beach club, two espressos, an umbrella, two cokes, and food at the restaurant was about $300 USD. That said, we hiked down and arrived at 9:30am (literally the first ones there), and we were seated in the middle near the water, real nice view. I asked if we could move up a bit but apparently those seats were reserved for people who booked multiple days in a row. Views of the Faraglioni Rocks were INCREDIBLE!! The ocean is accessible by ladder and it felt amazing. Another pro- tip: bring your own towel if you want to save 14 euro per towel. All-in-all, we’d go again for sure. View: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Customer service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Map

The Fontelina restaurant is located on the tiny beach at the foot of the Faraglioni, in one of the most beautiful corners of the Island of Capri.

You can reach Fontelina by boat or on foot, using the steep, downhill path which starts just beneath the Punta Tragara viewing point. If you don't fancy making the uphill return journey, you can always take the restaurant's shuttle boat service to Marina Piccola instead.
