“What should we do tonight?” This is the standard question posed during cocktail hour in the Piazzetta, while everyone is still seated around the outdoor tables drinking in the last of the day before nightfall a languid afternoon ritual that forces visitors to the island to slow themselves down to match the unhurried pace on Capri. After a cocktail or two, the crowds gradually move on to dinner. Only at around midnight do the island’s nightclubs begin to fill among these local hotspots on Capri are the so-called “taverne”, including Anema e Core, with live bands leading the crowds in song and dance to the rhythm of tarantella or Neapolitan classics.
How to dress for an evening out on Capri?
Capri is an informal island, and visitors can dress as they please. In a few of the more formal restaurants (those, for example, in luxury hotels), long pants are required for men. Women are advised to leave their high heels at home, as the steep lanes on Capri are challenging to navigate in heels. You are much better off following in the footsteps of Brigitte Bardot and Jackie Kennedy, who made flat “Capri sandals” famous.
