The Boat House

Nice place

Wonderful, pleasant experience in Marina Grande. Visited twice on the same day for a cappuccino after disembarking from the ferry, then returned for an espresso before leaving Capri. There are window seats optimized for views of the harbor where the ferry boats arrive and a direct view of Vesuvius. The gentlemen were very kind, and even when just getting coffee, we did not feel pressured to buy other food. We returned for the views for a quick sketch; they remembered us and brought out complementary biscuits for our quick espressos. We were there during off-season (March) and it was uncharacteristically cold, but the space was made comfortable with a patio heater and covered windows. There is a bathroom available for customers across the street.I don't usually write reviews, but the other poor ones prompted me to highlight my contrary experience. Of note, yes, the coffee was probably more expensive than elsewhere, but that's a holiday at Capri. While watching a ferry with mini-trucks unload, it's easy to appreciate how supplies are much harder to bring to an island.

Nice food and drinks but rudely expensive. We paid more than 50 bucks for 2 drinks, 2 fruit salads and one bottle of water.

The service was extremely rude and it was overall an inhospitable and unpleasant experience.
