Situated under an elegant cream-colored awning that stretches-out along Via Fuorlovado in the heart of Capri, Aurora is one of Capri's top eateries even if it lacks the Michelin star pedigree of the island's top gastronomic draws. A lively front terrace is trimmed in silver-pitchers of fresh cut flowers next to tables topped with perfectly starched tablecloth and waiters dressed in matching black and white uniforms. Inside, a series of elegant dining rooms connected by architectural archways are lined in glossy hardwood floors and arranged in white leather banquettes, vintage photography and modern art caricatures.
The Food
Owned by the D’Allesio family for more than a generation, this traditional Caprese kitchen with roots in Neapolitan cuisine offers gourmet undertones like an epic wine list of rare Italian and French vintages. Meals begin with innovative Caprese and mixed greed salad, savory pasta e fagioli soup or better pasta dishes like a homemade gnocchi, seafood linguine and incredible pizza al acqua. Main course is a more gourmet affair of fresh-caught sea bass, veal chop and grilled meats cooked to order.
Last Word
Family-owned eatery with a dressed-up flair offers elegant Capri dining scene with traditional Neapolitan cuisine popular with celebs like Armani, Stefano Gabbana and Mariah Carey.
