Aurora
Capri's oldest restaurant, a D'Alessio family institution since 1912
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Tucked on the pedestrian Via Fuorlovado, Aurora is the island's oldest restaurant and a third-generation D'Alessio affair, its walls papered with decades of famous faces. Beyond the scene, the cooking is genuinely good — the trademark thin-crust "pizza all'acqua," careful pastas and classic seafood — and Mia D'Alessio's cellar is among the best on Capri. It earns inclusion on substance, not just celebrity.
Editor's Tip
Open since 1912. Book ahead in season; ask for the pizza all'acqua and lean on the sommelier's wine list.
