The story
Tucked away in Capri’s Piano delle Noci district near the Arco Naturale, Ristorante La Quaglia da Tonino 2.0 is what Gambero Rosso calls a “hidden gem.” The wooden dining room feels “like being in the mountains,” offering a welcome escape from the tourist trail with a green, serene atmosphere and meticulous attention to detail.
The menu leans into rustic Italian fare with a refined twist. Notable dishes include the Spaghetti alla Chiommezzana and a standout quaglia (quail) stuffed with salsiccia ripiena di pinoli e uvetta, served on crushed purple potato alongside a rice and pea arancino and myrtle sauce. It’s a meal that captures both the island’s soul and its quieter corners.

Quaglia con Salsiccia Ripiena di Pinoli e Uvetta su Patata Viola Schiacciata, Arancino di Riso e Piselli e Salsa al Mirto
This is a historic dish of the restaurant, born with my father Tonino 32 years ago when the place opened. It's a quail with a sausage stuffed with pine nuts and raisins on a crushed purple potato, a rice and pea arancino, and finished with a myrtle sauce. Few people know that quail is a typical product of the island, very ancient.
