This really is a great restaurant! We had dinner here and it was fantastic. The staff were amazing—so friendly and attentive. They even offer a complimentary car service, which came in handy as a thunder and lightning storm rolled in during our meal. It actually made the evening even more special, as we enjoyed a free light show with dinner! Even though we arrived a bit later than the ideal time for a sunset dinner, the view was still spectacular. The atmosphere, the food, and the kindness of the staff made this a truly memorable experience. We will always remember this place fondly.

Great atmosphere and view. Delicious cocktails. Service was very friendly and even gave us a ride to the main bus station via shuttle. Food was average and a little pricy but we had a great time overall.

This is the best place to watch the sunset in Capri in my opinion. We went to Zuma and here, and this place blew Zuma out the water in food, service, and atmosphere. You have your aperitivo on the patio under olive trees and then dine inside. This place was so magical we can’t wait to go back. Pro tip: bring bug spray if you’re prone to mosquito bites

We were in Anacapri for a week and on our second day we headed to Da Emilia for cocktails, dinner and the view. The cocktails were delicious and the view with the sunset did not disappoint. The setting where we had. Our drinks was spectacular, we sat there for 90 minutes enjoying the pleasant weather and the atmosphere with beautiful sunset. First the cocktails were all nice, classic manhattan was nice, cosmopolitan went down well and of course a negroni could not be overlooked. Dinner was good, again like many of the Capri restaurants all have the same 6-7 classic dishes, fish selections and a couple of steak choices. Food was good, priced as expected and nice wine selections. The homemade bread at the table was a nice touch. I would go back for the views,cocktails and maybe in a small group pick a few starters to share and enjoy the ambiance.

One of the best restaurants I have been to and an experience I will never forget. My now fiancé proposed to me right before sunset at the nearby lighthouse and had made reservations at the restaurant for after. Exceptional staff, amazing food and the kitchen crew made us some desert with a couple cutout to celebrate our engagement. Great ambiance. Thank you da Emilia alla Curtiglia!

Wow!!! This place is fantastic. Views, food, and service all spectacular. We started our experience off with a drink and the view. Then we went up to our table for dinner with an even better view! The food was some of the best we have had on our trip here in Italy. Highly recommend for the food and views. Also, call ahead to get their shuttle service pickup to take you to the restaurant rather than walking. They will also take you back when you are finished.

Really nice restaurant on the road towards Faro. Beautiful outside stepped terrace, covered by olive trees and pine trees. Food is not cheap but very good quality. They can also help with getting there and back with their shuttle service if you book.
