Why go
Columbus Capri is better treated as a flexible Anacapri stop than a destination reservation. Use it for a casual pause during an island day, especially if timing matters more than ceremony; for a special meal, compare it with L'Olivo, Caesar Augustus, or La Terrazza di Lucullo.
About Columbus Capri
Consider Columbus Capri if the goal is a casual Anacapri stop with direct timing, rather than a visit built around confirmed culinary details. The verified information supports a practical read: casual dress and daily opening from 7:30 AM, with later closing on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
For planning, the hours are the clearest reason to keep Columbus Capri on a flexible Anacapri itinerary. It is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 5 PM, Friday through Sunday from 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM. If you are comparing it with other named Capri-area options such as L'Olivo or Caesar Augustus, treat Columbus Capri as the simpler, casual choice based on the facts currently verified here.
Use it for a flexible Anacapri day, not a details-driven booking
The decision case is simple: choose this when convenience and low commitment matter. There is no confirmed chef, cuisine label, award history, price tier, or named signature dish in the verified venue details, so the stronger move is to treat it as a casual Anacapri option rather than a booking defined by specific culinary claims.
That also affects expectations. Do not build the visit around unverified menu claims, service formats, or signature items. If you are comparing Columbus Capri with options such as La Terrazza di Lucullo or L'Olivo, keep the comparison practical: Columbus Capri is best supported by its confirmed Anacapri location, casual dress code, opening hours.
The right guest is an explorer who values timing over ceremony
This works better for travelers who want to keep their Anacapri schedule flexible than for diners who need a page full of confirmed dining specifics before they decide. The confirmed dress code is casual, the opening hours make it useful for daytime planning from Monday through Thursday and for later visits from Friday through Sunday.
For a milestone trip, Columbus Capri is not the obvious anchor if you need a clearly defined culinary format, award history, or price-to-experience promise. It can still fit into the day as a low-pressure Anacapri stop, especially before or after another planned meal.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Columbus Capri sits quietly in the upper reaches of Anacapri and reads like the island's more contemplative restaurant: understated, charming and intimate. The approach — winding past bougainvillea and fragrant lemon trees — sets expectations for a meal that privileges provenance and slow pleasure over spectacle. The kitchen leans on the terraced gardens and local seas, so the room feels closely tied to place rather than to the tourist bustle below. Expect an experience that favors attentive pacing, gentle conversation and a strong sense of locality rather than loud, energetic service or showy theatrics.
Best For
This is a spot for diners who want to slow down and focus on ingredients and simple, precise Campanian cooking. Travelers who linger on the island, visitors looking to escape the Marina Grande crowds, and couples seeking a quiet table all find this a suitable pick. The menu’s seafood focus and island-sourced produce make it especially well suited to an evening meal when fresh catches and composed mains dominate the bill of fare. It’s less about late-night revelry and more about a considered, place-driven dinner.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the island’s specialties when ordering: the ravioli capresi and seafood ravioli showcase local fillings, while scialatielli with clams and octopus meatballs highlight the surrounding sea. Save room for the torta caprese to close the meal—the sfusato limone and terrace-grown citrus that inform desserts are a throughline in the kitchen’s approach. Given the ingredient-led menu, ask your server about the day’s catch or any vegetable preparations sourced from nearby terraced gardens to get the most immediate sense of Capri’s flavors.

Restaurant context
How Columbus Capri compares in Anacapri
Against L'Olivo, Columbus Capri is the lower-commitment choice. L'Olivo has the clearer luxury signal with Italian Contemporary positioning and a €€€€ tier, so it is the stronger pick for a splurge or anniversary meal. Columbus Capri is the better fit when the day needs flexibility and the meal is not the main event.
Caesar Augustus and La Terrazza di Lucullo both read as more experience-led choices: Caesar Augustus for Italian Mediterranean dining in a hotel setting, La Terrazza di Lucullo for seafood. Choose either when ambiance and a defined cuisine direction matter more than ease.
La Zagara and Da Paolino sit closer to the broader island dining circuit than to a quick Anacapri utility pick. If Columbus Capri is full or does not fit the occasion, cross-shop La Zagara for another Anacapri option, then move to Da Paolino when the plan can handle a more deliberate meal outside the immediate Anacapri core.
