Climb the clock-tower steps to the right of Capri Town's tourist office and
your reward is a laid-back local hang-out, where fabulous vino meets a discerning selec-
tion of cheeses,
salumi
(charcuterie) and more substantial fare like spaghetti with zucchini
flowers. Try for a seat on the terrace or, if you're feeling lucky, the coveted table on its
own petite balcony.

A famous hang-out for artists early last century, this hidden Capri Town treasure is

An unpretentious place with hanging baskets of ivy, sunny yellow tablecloths and

seppie con verdure all'aceto balsamico
(cuttlefish with ve-
getables in a balsamic reduction).
Drinking & Nightlife
The main evening activity is styling up and hanging out, ideally on Capri Town's Piazz-
etta. There are few nightclubs to speak of and just a few upmarket taverns. Most places
open around 10pm (don't expect a crowd until midnight), charging anywhere between €30
and €40 for admission. Many close between November and Easter.
