L'antica Pigna Chateau

With only twelve seats, this intimate dining room inside the Majestic Palace Hotel is adorned with a vegetal‑themed mural that sets the stage for the romantic views from the windows: one of the coast’s most beautiful gardens, with citrus and olive trees – including a thousand‑year‑old specimen – and the vegetable patch that supplies some of the vegetables served in the dishes. Chef Mario Affinita offers four tasting menus (with an à la carte option as well), inspired both by the Campania region and by his international experiences. The result is a cuisine that is elaborate, technical, and prec

This restaurant is an intimate and deeply personal narrative, inseparably bound to the life story of chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo. It stands on the ground of his own memories, where once his grandfather kept the olive press, and presents itself today as a space rich in resonance, in which an authentic vision of hospitality is brought back to life.The kitchen, entrusted with great sensitivity to resident chef Nicola Somma, consistently interprets the chef’s vision: a continuous dialogue between North and South, between homeland and adopted home, expressed through harmonious and recognisable dis

Even if the weather isn’t kind and you can’t eat outdoors, make sure you have an aperitif or perhaps just take a look at the terrace with its stunning views of the Bay of Naples, especially at sunset. Once the sun has set, enjoy dishes prepared by chef Ciro Sicignano, who hails from Gragnano and who showcases the specialities of Campania to perfection. The region’s traditional recipes and ingredients are reinterpreted with energy and imagination, with a focus on vegetables (which the chef sources from two kitchen gardens) and a dedicated olive oil menu. The elegant setting of the Lorelei Londr

Boasting a splendid location overlooking the sea, this gourmet restaurant is part of the Capo La Gala hotel. Head down to the seafront from the hotel entrance (lift available) to the restaurant, where the romantic lapping of the waves and a spectacular view (especially at sunset) accompany your meal, along with impeccable service overseen by the skilful Giulia Tavolaro. Chef Emmanuel Scotti, from Ischia, serves various tasting menus of meat and fish, with the option of choosing courses à la carte style. His cuisine focuses on local recipes and ingredients, giving them a modern twist with the o

For over 70 years, the elegant Il Bikini restaurant has been soaking up the sun in this superb location facing the spectacular Bay of Naples. Now home to a new and exuberant chef, the restaurant serves classic fish cuisine with a contemporary twist at lunchtime under the name Locanda di Mare, while in the evening the restaurant transforms into L’Atollo, a more elegant, fine-dining venue. Ever since the restaurant was opened in 1952, the panoramic terrace here has been one of the best places in the region in which to enjoy good food and spectacular sea views.

Situated within the luxury Grand Hotel La Favorita in the centre of Sorrento, this restaurant has the traditional, opulent style of a grand hotel, while the outdoor terrace boasts the romantic charm that is typical of Sorrento. In the kitchen, the chef creates top-quality cuisine influenced by Campania and enhanced by his own creative touches, resulting in dishes such as marinated tuna with tonka beans, lemon gel and ginger mousse. There’s also a vegetarian tasting menu. A recently opened restaurant that is growing in popularity.

Working in partnership with the nearby fishmongers which supplies it with fresh fish and seafood, this restaurant occupies a building once used for storing oranges that dates back 400 years. Although there is a menu, given the restaurant’s close relationship with the fishmongers we recommend asking the serving staff about the catch of the day and taking a look in the glass cabinet where the fish are displayed. Dishes are classic and traditional, allowing the full flavour of the fresh fish to shine through.
