Why go
La Zagara works for an easy Anacapri lunch or relaxed dinner when location and booking simplicity matter more than a documented fine-dining credential. For a larger celebration, compare it with L'Olivo or Caesar Augustus; for a view-led seafood meal, La Terrazza di Lucullo is the more focused alternative.
About La Zagara
La Zagara is a practical Anacapri option when you need a meal that can fit either midday or evening. It is open daily for lunch from 12–3 PM and dinner from 7–11 PM, with a smart-casual dress code.
Details on cuisine, chef, price band, awards, seating, menu format, drinks are not specified, so it is best to plan around the facts that are clear: the Anacapri location, the lunch-and-dinner schedule, the smart-casual tone.
Use it for a direct Anacapri meal
Consider La Zagara when the meal needs to fit around time in Anacapri. Lunch is available daily from 12–3 PM, while dinner is served daily from 7–11 PM. If you are comparing other nearby or island dining options, consider L'Olivo or Caesar Augustus.
Because there is no price band listed, budget expectations should stay flexible. This is not the place to use for a fixed value call or a specific high-end recommendation. The more reliable advice is to use La Zagara when confirmed hours, Anacapri convenience, smart-casual dress guidance matter more than assumptions about cuisine, menu format, or accolades.
Lunch has the cleaner use case
Lunch is a direct use case because La Zagara is open daily from 12–3 PM. Dinner is also available daily from 7–11 PM, so either service can work depending on the day's plan. If you are comparing options for a different kind of meal, La Terrazza di Lucullo, Columbus Capri, A-Ma-Re Capri are other names to consider.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Zagara presents itself as a quietly elegant village restaurant that leans into Capri’s inland traditions. Perched on Monte Solaro’s slopes and set on Via Giuseppe Orlandi, it feels woven into everyday Anacapri life rather than staged for ferry crowds. The setting is scenic and intimate: terraced kitchen gardens, citrus groves and herb plots frame the approach and inform the room’s atmosphere. The kitchen’s allegiance to long-established island ingredient practices gives the dining experience a classic, grounded warmth—cozy and romantic without theatricality—so the overall impression is of a refined, village-rooted table that privileges provenance and place.
Best For
La Zagara is best for intimate dinners and milestone meals when you want the food to be the focus. Its village location and ingredient-driven cooking suit date nights and special celebrations where a quieter, scenic setting matters more than sea views. The restaurant’s emphasis on local produce and coastal sourcing also makes it a good choice for diners who appreciate culinary context—those who prefer plates that reflect the agricultural rhythms of Capri and the Sorrentine coast. It reads as a destination for thoughtful, unhurried evening dining rather than quick tourist stops.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the island’s specialties when ordering: the menu highlights coastal and campanian ingredients, so try signature items such as the Tagliolino alla Nerano and the Zagara Mare, as well as the Filet de veau podolic. Look for preparations that showcase Capri’s lemons, zucchini flowers, capers and regionally caught fish—the restaurant’s sourcing logic centers on what grows or is pulled from nearby waters. If several people are dining, share a selection of seafood and vegetable-forward dishes to appreciate the place-based produce the kitchen prioritizes.

Restaurant context
How La Zagara compares in Anacapri
Choose La Zagara for booking ease and central Anacapri practicality. L'Olivo is the splurge option in this set, with Italian Contemporary cooking and a €€€€ price tier, so it fits diners who want the meal to carry the occasion. La Zagara is the lower-pressure call when the group wants a simpler lunch or dinner without committing to that level of spend.
Caesar Augustus is the better match for a polished Italian Mediterranean hotel meal, especially when ambiance matters as much as food. La Terrazza di Lucullo is the clearer pick for Italian seafood and a more destination-style setting. La Zagara makes more sense when the plan is built around Anacapri itself rather than a view-led or hotel-led experience.
If availability is the concern, cross-shop Columbus Capri and A-Ma-Re Capri alongside La Zagara. They sit in the same practical decision set: useful alternatives when the group needs an Anacapri table without turning the booking into the whole itinerary.
