About Casa Paolino
Casa Paolino is an Italian restaurant in Capri with dinner hours most days, a smart-casual dress code, and a price of $120 per person. The key reasons to consider it are the named dishes: Bomba di Paolino®, ravioli capresi, lemon fettuccine, raw seafood crudo, and eggplant parmigiana. Together, they define a dinner reservation to judge by the food actually listed, the evening schedule, and whether the price fits the night you are planning.
A Capri dinner option with a clear Italian menu signal
Casa Paolino is best assessed as a Capri dinner choice, not a venue with stated claims about tasting menus, ownership, awards, seat count, or a specific service format. The cuisine is Italian, and the dish list points to Capri and Italian flavors without implying a more elaborate format. That makes the decision simpler: judge it on whether those named dishes are the Italian meal you want in Capri, not on unsupported expectations about ceremony, exclusivity, or dining-room style.
For ordering, the clearest anchors are Bomba di Paolino®, ravioli capresi, lemon fettuccine, raw seafood crudo, and eggplant parmigiana. They let a table plan across seafood, pasta, vegetables, and a named Casa Paolino signature without relying on extra menu details. They also give different diners a lane: crudo for a seafood-led start, eggplant parmigiana for a vegetable-based classic, the two pastas for a firmly Italian middle, and Bomba di Paolino® for anyone who wants to order around the restaurant’s own name.
Order for progression: crudo or vegetables, then pasta, then a named signature
A simple progression fits the dish list: start with raw seafood crudo or eggplant parmigiana, move to ravioli capresi or lemon fettuccine, and consider Bomba di Paolino® if you want one of the restaurant’s named signature dishes. This keeps the meal tied to dishes specifically associated with Casa Paolino and avoids overcomplicating the reservation: instead of searching for a set menu or assuming a long sequence, build a straightforward dinner around a starter-style choice, a pasta course, and a signature dish if appetite and budget allow.
The price point is $120 per person, so choose Casa Paolino when that spend fits the evening. The dress code is smart casual, and the schedule is dinner-focused: Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 7–11 pm, with Tuesday closed. Those details frame it as an intentional night-out choice rather than a flexible all-day stop. If timing, attire, and spend fit, the remaining question is whether the named Italian dishes make this the Capri dinner to reserve.
Who should book, and who should cross-shop first
Book Casa Paolino if you want an Italian dinner in Capri built around its named dishes and are comfortable with $120 per person. It is especially straightforward for diners who prefer recognizable anchors over awards or a tasting-menu structure not stated here. If comparing, look at other Capri dining rooms generically or consider Bistrot, Nascostoposto, and Tenuta del Gallo as other named venues to research.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Casa Paolino is the premium-feeling choice in this set: more occasion-led, more atmospheric, and more suitable for a romantic or celebratory dinner than Bistrot, Nascostoposto, or Tenuta del Gallo. The tradeoff is value. Those three peers sit at €€, while Casa Paolino is positioned for a higher-spend night where ambiance is part of what is being purchased.
For a lower-pressure Italian meal, start with Bistrot or Nascostoposto. They make more sense when the goal is straightforward Italian cooking without turning dinner into the main event. Casa Paolino is the better call when the table wants the room, the garden feel, and the Paolino name to carry the night.
Tenuta del Gallo is the cleanest cross-shop for diners who want Italian food at a gentler price tier and are less attached to central Capri atmosphere. If the booking is for an anniversary, honeymoon, or dressed-up group dinner, Casa Paolino earns the splurge more clearly than the €€ options.
