About La Terrazza di Lucullo

Because the verified details are limited, the safest way to plan is not to assume a specific menu format, signature dish, seating style, price level, or service schedule. Treat it as an Italian seafood booking in Capri and confirm practical details directly before making plans.
Capri works better when the meal is planned with clear expectations
La Terrazza di Lucullo is best evaluated as a Capri Italian seafood restaurant rather than through unverified claims about a particular address, hotel setting, view, or service format. If the meal is important, confirm timing, availability, any special requests with the restaurant before committing.
Chef/owner Eduardo Vuolo is the verified chef/owner associated with the restaurant. Beyond the Italian seafood direction, specific dishes and menu structure are not verified here, so diners should avoid building expectations around named signatures unless the restaurant confirms them.
Who should book it, who should cross-shop
Book La Terrazza di Lucullo if the goal is Italian seafood in Capri with a smart casual dress code and a confirmed 2025 Relais Chateaux Award. Cross-shop La Terrazza if you want to compare another named option, or consider Caesar Augustus, Columbus Capri, other dining in Capri depending on the kind of meal you want.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Terrazza di Lucullo reads like classic Capri dining: elegant and intimate, with a scenic terrace that literally hangs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Housed in Hotel Caesar Augustus, the room pairs refined coastal cooking with an unshowy sophistication—Chef Eduardo Vuolo works in a Campanian tradition that favors local olive oil, bright tomatoes and minimal intervention for seafood. The result is polished yet warm, a place where the view and provenance of ingredients matter as much as technique. Awards such as the Expression of the Terroir underline the kitchen's commitment to place rather than theatricality.
Best For
This is an obvious choice for date nights, special occasions and celebratory dinners. The hotel's elevated terrace and quieter Anacapri approach create a more private, scenic atmosphere than the busier piazzetta below, and the kitchen's focus on local seafood and Campanian flavors suits guests seeking a memorable, place-driven meal. Given its role as the hotel's principal dining room and the consistent praise in reviews, the restaurant best serves evening dining when the setting and food combine to create a complete Capri experience.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the seafood and regional specialties: the kitchen emphasizes minimally handled fish drawn from the Gulf of Naples and island herb gardens, so simpler preparations showcase freshness. Signature dishes highlighted for the venue—ravioli Caprese, grilled octopus, tortelli genovese and the veal chop—reflect both coastal and Campanian traditions mentioned in the description. Expect bright, garlic- and olive-oil–forward flavors with judicious acidity from local tomatoes; ordering dishes that spotlight the day’s catch will reflect the restaurant’s terroir-driven approach.

Where to Look if This Is Not the Right Fit
Try La Terrazza if Italian seafood is still the plan but the group wants to compare location and room feel before committing. Choose Baccano when the same cuisine category fits, but the occasion does not need the Anacapri hotel setting.
Restaurant context
How It Compares
La Terrazza di Lucullo is the more occasion-led choice if the group wants Italian seafood with a hotel setting in Anacapri. Caesar Augustus is the closest comparison for diners weighing the same property orbit, but its Italian Mediterranean positioning makes it broader than a seafood-first dinner.
For Italian seafood elsewhere in the Capri set, La Terrazza and Baccano are the cleaner cross-shops. Pick La Terrazza di Lucullo when the Anacapri setting and special-occasion pacing matter; look at La Terrazza or Baccano when the group wants a different location or a less hotel-centered meal.
Columbus Capri is the alternative to check when ease matters more than ceremony. Pescheria Nautilas Ostuni is also Italian seafood, but it is a weaker direct comparison for Capri planning because the location makes it less useful as a same-night substitute.
