30 minutes walk from the town of Anacapri.
We were welcomed with a smile of Mrs. Anna, the owner. Smily and kind, she represents
Italian Mamma image!!
Shop was divided into indoor and terrace seating. Terrace seats in good weather
are beautiful.
The terrace overlooks the beautiful garden in the breeze. Let's wait to enjoy
the delicious food, choosing wine.
My favorite appetizer is "pickled sardines." Excellent with white wine.
This restaurant original bread is also delicious!
Local pasta "Sharatierri". Best match for the taste of shellfish or
smoked fish.
Here you are, "Zuppa di Cozze", the No.1 Mussel soup in Italy!! Look,
this volume!
"Fried eggplant balls" with white wine
Pick up service
The restaurant is surrounded by large gardens, excellent location. Let's have
a lunch here and relax!

This is the finest restaurant found in the west part of the island, Anacapri. Trattoria with a spacious yard has an homey atmosphere. The food is the main local seafood dishes, good cooking and attentive service will satisfy you. Situated outside of town, so walking is necessary, but you can ask pick up car service. |

We got a good reputation about this restaurant from my friends. Its name is "Mamma
Giovanna", very popular restaurant in Anacapri.
Anacapri is a upper town on the island of Capri and you can get there by bus.
We visited the address which my friend had taught me before, but there was
no restaurant but only a souvenir shop...why? I tried to inform as much as possible
and found that this restaurant had moved to other side. Of course I chouldn't
give up, so our mission to find Mamma Giovanna started.
After 30 minutes of walking along the coast, when we became a little nervous, finally we found a small sign of the restaurant on the left! However the sign saids "100 meters from here"... we continued to walk muttering in mind and wiping the sweat. Actually walked more than 200 meters from the sign, the restaurant was there.
Good location surrounded by lush gardens, a large terrace and spacious seating
give you a wonderful time. Mrs. Anna, who runs this restaurant, is very charming
and helpful. "Giovanna" is the name of her mother in law.
The White House wine is served very cold and so delicious ! ! ! We can say it was the most delicious wines in recent years. Made in Gragnano town, near Sorrento, this white wine has semi-sparkling and refreshing taste, with apple scent. We drank a total of two 1.5 liters.
As an appetizer, you can enjoy "marinated sardines" with this wine
and bread.
For the pasta it's recommended the local famous dish "Scialatelli".
This thick pasta is home made and has a glutinous taste, good combination with
the shellfish sauce. One of the best local food in Southern Italy.
Other recommended dish is their "mussel soup (Zuppa di cozze)". We don't know any other restaurants which has deliciouse mussel soup like here. Mussels are fresh and cooked well, they have large body and good texture! Harmony of the taste of shelfish and sour cherry tomatoes is excellent.
To go to the restaurant, they will pick you up in the town of Anacapri, let's just call! Of cource to go back to the town, don't worry.
Trattoria "Mamma Giovanna" can be defined as one of the most delicious restaurants on the island of Capri. Not only their tasty dishes but also the atmosphere, service and their smiles are unforgettable. It's not a luxury restaurant, but you can enjoy local cooking traditions. Reasonable Prices.
