Located just 36 kilometers north of Naples, Caserta serves as the capital of the Caserta province in the Campania region. While it functions as a significant agricultural, commercial, and industrial hub, the city is globally renowned for its 18th-century Bourbon Royal Palace. Situated on the edge of the Campanian plain at the foot of the Subapennine mountains, Caserta offers frequent-flyer travelers a strategic base for exploring southern Italian history. Its proximity to Naples allows for easy day trips, while the city itself provides a quieter, more authentic alternative to the coastal crowds. The urban layout is compact, making key attractions accessible without extensive transit needs.

The menu has an exclusive focus on fish, with a combination of classic options and light, modern dishes, while an entire page is dedicated to raw fish and seafood. The wine list includes several champagnes.
