Sublime home-grown produce and wine; sea and vine-
yard views; a swimming pool for a postprandial dip - it's no wonder you're advised to
book three days ahead in the summer. Da Gelsomina ditches culinary clichés for turf clas-
sics like
coniglio alla cacciatore
(rabbit with lightly spiced tomato, sage and rosemary)
and not-to-be-missed
ravioli caprese
, filled with Cacciotta cheese.
The property also offers five pleasant rooms (doubles €120 to €160) with terraces and
sea views. From Anacapri, Da Gelsomina is a 20-minute walk along sleepy Via Migliera.
Alternatively, call ahead for a free pick-up from Anacapri.

Climb the clock-tower steps to the right of Capri Town's tourist office and your re-
ward is a laid-back local hang-out, where fabulous vino meets a discerning selection 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.
Buca di Bacco
( 081 837 07 23; Via Longano 35, Capri Town; pizzas €6.50-12.50, meals €40; noon-3pm & 7-11pm)
A fam-
ous hang-out for artists early last century, this hidden Capri Town treasure is now better
known for its solid local cooking, bubbling pizzas and amiable staff. The seafood is espe-
cially good, as is the window table with dreamy sea views.

Le Arcate
( 081 837 35 88; Via de Tommaso 24, Anacapri; pizzas €7-11, meals €30; noon-3pm & 7pm-midnight)
An
unpretentious place with hanging baskets of ivy, sunny yellow tablecloths and well-aged
terracotta tiles, Le Arcate specialises in delicious
primi
(first courses) and pizzas. A real
show-stopper is the
seppie con verdure all'aceto balsamico
(cuttlefish with vegetables in
a balsamic reduction).
