Ristorante Augusto

Avoid this place at all costs. They overcharged me for a simple fruit juice, and when I asked them about it, they couldn’t even show me the price in the menu, because they had made it up. I’m pregnant but that didn’t stop two of them shouting at me in front of everyone. Really awful place with terrible staff, hugely overpriced, don’t go.

AVOID this place at all costs. We had spent the day between Positano and Capri which are both notoriously expensive places so by the time it came to get our 11pm ferry we just needed somewhere to stop in for a drink and a snack. We stopped at Caffe Augusto because of it's close proximity to the ferry and it advertising a pizza for 7.50euros. When we sat down we were not provided with a drinks menu and the waitress pressured us into ordering quickly. We ordered a small glass of house wine and a draught beer. We also took a Margherita Pizza to share. The pizza was the worst I've had in Italy but oh well it was only 7.50.. The bill was brought to us and we were charged over 10euros PER DRINK! We raised our concern with the waitress who quickly got aggressive and rude. She started personally insulting us...telling us that we were too poor to be on Capri and and laughing in our faces admitting that they rip off tourists. She said that she was calling the police if we did not pay. My boyfriend and I agreed that we would pay and he tried to leave the restaurant while i remained at the table ready to pay with my credit card. This is when everything truly kicked off...4 staff members ran after him and tackled him, trying to rip his backpack from him. They were hitting and kicking him. All for no apparent reason as I did not once move from the table. The original waitress called the police to report us (for what? they're the ones who assaulted and illegally held my boyfriend.) she also continued to insult me some more and then wouldn't let me pay or go and check on my boyfriend...who was still being held and screamed at by another waiter. Finally I paid this rip off price and left. As I was trying to walk out the waitress started to threaten me too..that I wasn't going to get off Capri that night? I don't know if she thought she was some kind of mafia boss or something but it was absolutely ridiculous. Sure enough the police came looking for us and when we explained the situation quickly took our side and asked us not to press charges against the restaurant. I wish we had read the reviews before going to this awful establishment. Mine also doesn't seem to be the first about verbal or physical attacks on customers. I hope they go out of business, the are ruining a beautiful island.

Terribly overpriced! Besides, we wanted just to have a croissant and they forced us to order more if we wanted to stay when they were empty! Even then, the waiter kept looking at us very badly all the time... Very rude. It's a trap for tourist.

Granita 9 euros, rip-off. They try to get as much money as possible (water 6 euros)

Do not eat here. We ate here yesterday and witnessed the most shocking behaviour from the staff. An elderly couple sat beside us and the lady was charmed by the waitress (assume this is Rosa from other reviews) into ordering the 'fresh fish'. When the bill came the couple were shocked and queried it. From other reviews this 'fresh fish' can cost as much as 145euro! To watch the elderly gentleman plead with the staff was heartbreaking. This is clearly a trick they pull all the time. These people ought to be so ashamed. They prey on tourists and vulnerable people. Avoid this place like the plague.
