8 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Capri

Taverna Anema e Coreis a historic nightclub near Capri’s square where Guido Lembo, the Re di Capri, performs with his band every night. He founded the club in 1994 and turned it into an elite rendezvous.

Big names from the international jet set, well-known businesspeople, and sporting stars and celebrities spend their evenings here while staying on the island, often improvising performances with the musicians on stage. The key to its success lies in this traditional tavern's originality; the Neapolitan music being played merges together with entertainment and audience involvement.

La Capannina Wine Bar: a classy, elegant spot for an aperitif or an evening with friends in the heart of Capri. The ambience resembles a Capri villa, with interiors dominated by white walls, ceilings and curtains. Historic photos of Capri, majolica floors, sofas, little balconies and soft lighting create an intimate, laid-back feel.

Wine lovers can choose from over 200 labels. If you're more into cocktails, the baristas are known for their attention to every detail of your beverage. Beside the bar is the historic restaurant, which has been graced by the likes of Aristotele Onassis and Jackie Kennedy. Here you can taste a combination of Mediterranean tradition and innovation. Their speciality is ravioli, made with the island's traditional recipe.

For an evening in a chic club, on the street known for the struscio (shuffle ritual) and nightlife, is Villa Verde Club, frequented by a refined, cosmopolitan clientele. A place for dancing ‘til dawn in a contemporary setting, where the setup and lighting create a stylish atmosphere. VV Club offers more than the nightclub.

Here, you can start the evening with dinner. The restaurant tables are on an outdoor terrace and the menu includes local dishes, pizza and international cuisine. You’ll be blown away by the expertise and aesthetics of the bar. Why not try a cocktail? When it's time to let loose, the nightclub’s DJs will start inviting people onto the dancefloor for a night of music and beats.

Maliblù, on the southwestern tip, is the perfect spot for admiring the sunset, and sipping a cocktail to the beat of a DJ set at twilight. In a highly picturesque setting that gently slopes down from Faro di Punta Carena (Punta Carena Lighthouse) towards the sea, it’s surrounded by terraces, steps and cliffs.

All that evening movement make you peckish? There's no need to leave the splendid natural lights and sounds: they serve cold dishes, fruit skewers, sandwiches and other tasty bites. Sea, sunset, a drink and the beats: perfect for a romantic evening or going wild with old and new friends.

Vinoteca Della Zagara is on the main street, right in the centre, near the bus stop connecting you to all areas of the island. It's inside Casa Mariantonia, a historic building where one of Capri's very first guesthouses was opened.

Sip a glass of wine with appetisers or cold cuts and cheeses. Fancy lunch or dinner? Next door is the dining area, nestled in a fragrant citrus grove. It's an unusual and evocative haunt known for its limoncello, served as a digestif and made with fruit from the surrounding trees.

Lanterna Verde in Anacapri is one of the island’s most renowned night-time haunts where you can enjoy the laid-back ambience of a piano bar. Located inside Hotel San Michele, its windows reveal a sea-view spanning the entire Golfo di Napoli (Gulf of Naples). When the moon peeps over the sea, you can witness one of the world’s most breathtaking shows.

The bar’s rooms carved out of rock and star-spangled vault seem at one with the enchanting surroundings. On summer nights, pick a table on the terrace, under the gazebo or oleander tree. The piano notes and songs' melodies are the ideal soundtrack for uncorking a bottle of excellent wine and abandoning yourself to this magical place.

Qubè Cafè is a laid-back place to have a drink, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the rhythm of the music. With walls covered in giant murals and posters of rock legends, it hosts evenings of live underground concerts and is a hotspot for conversation and non-conformity. All this makes it a hub for the island's youth.

You can spend the evenings here however you prefer: hanging out with friends, watching sport on TV, trying unusual cocktails, chatting over a cold beer or playing a board game. The bar is located in the heart of Capri, a few hundred metres from the square and streets known for nightlife, where night-owls come and go.

Capri and Anacapri embody the island’s spirit and so do the concerts during Anacapri Fa Musica. In Anacapri, where lively beach life and bustling, stylish streets also give way to peace and relaxation, the Anacapri Fa Musica festival takes place.

The concert cycle includes small chamber ensemble and Bel Canto opera performances. Artists embodying the local spirit, as well as foreign folk performers, also feature. Visit this varied and fascinating cultural programme during your holiday. The concerts take place during summer and are a quintessential part of nights in Anacapri.
