Mediterranean cuisine under the shade of lemon trees.

Yellow lemons are considered a symbol of Capri, and visitors can see vibrant lemon groves everywhere in the city. Recognizing this unique feature, the De Martino family designed a restaurant from their own lemon grove, creating the renowned "Da Paolino" restaurant on the Mediterranean coast.

Managed and operated as a traditional family-run restaurant, Da Paolino has welcomed diners for over 50 years in its outdoor dining area under a canopy of over 100 lemon trees. The vibrant yellow lemon branches spread across the restaurant's rooftop, creating a shimmering scene in the sun while remaining cool during the day. At night, as the Mediterranean sun fades, twinkling lights wrapped around the branches illuminate the space, creating a warm, romantic, and magical atmosphere.

Thanks to this unique setting, Da Paolino has been considered one of the most beloved restaurants in Capri, Italy, for over 50 years. Refreshing, crisp, and with the invigorating scent of lemon, these are the first sensations Da Paolino offers every diner upon entering its interior.

The restaurant is decorated in two main colors, green and white, interspersed with the vibrant yellow of lemons. The rooftop area, with its magnificent lemon garden, can accommodate over 200 people and is the perfect venue for dream wedding receptions. In 2017, Da Paolino restaurant was the location for the lavish, million-dollar wedding of Hong Kong fashionista Feiping Chang.

The cuisine at Da Paolino leans towards seafood dishes, sourced daily from local fishermen in the Marina Grande area. Da Paolino serves traditional Italian dishes that are sweet but skillfully combined with the signature ingredient: juicy yellow lemons. The signature dish that must be tried when visiting the restaurant is spaghetti with lemon sauce. Other famous dishes include grilled mozzarella cheese with lemon leaves, grilled seafood with lemons, and more.

The stunning scenery and traditional Mediterranean cuisine have made this place a popular destination for many celebrities visiting Capri, including Elton John, Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, and Mariah Carey. Last year, Kylie Jenner, the world's youngest self-made billionaire, celebrated her 22nd birthday here.
