Shocking footage shows several people embroiled in the chaotic confrontation as stunned tourists and locals look on.
People can be seen throwing punches and kicks, while chairs are also swung during the melee.
The confrontation reportedly lasted for several minutes, with mobile phone footage showing the fight already in full swing before it eventually comes to an end.
The shop owners reportedly found themselves facing a group of holidaymakers who had children with them.
The row is said to have erupted after the shopkeepers asked for the youngsters to move away from the entrance, as reported by Need To Know.
Footage of the ugly scenes was sent to Capri mayor Paolo Falco.
He said: “The reasons were trivial, but it was an extremely unpleasant incident. It is not, however, a security emergency.
“When two million people arrive, unfortunately, a dispute can happen.
“We have mobilised all available forces, together with the municipal police, to patrol the busiest areas.”
The video was also shared online by Francesco Emilio Borrelli, an MP for the Greens and Left Alliance (AVS), who called for greater security on the popular holiday island.
He said: “This is yet another brawl. Greater security is urgently needed.
“At night, a single patrol covers the island, and that is not good enough.
“Seeing people fighting with chairs, kicks and punches is unacceptable.
“Capri is one of Campania’s main tourist destinations and deserves a level of security appropriate to its importance.”
Mayor Falco said the island is also monitored by around 80 high-resolution CCTV cameras.
