Osteria Capri

The Naples area lays claim to plenty of waterfront restaurants and an overabundance of Italian places. But here you find the rare fine Italian restaurant bayfront on Isles of Capri, at the doorstep to Marco Island. Chef AJ Black has earned his chops in Southwest Florida as a restaurateur with high standards. He gutted the longstanding Blue Heron restaurant and reopened it with a gleaming new pizza oven, patio seating and an alfresco bar in October 2020. Pizza such as the seafood one and another with burrata, speck and figs are wildly popular, especially at lunch. Pasta house-made from flour imported from Italy and other Italian classics share the menu with seafood specialties, lamb osso buco and short ribs with gnocchi.
