Taverna del Capitano

A series of hairpin bends lead downhill to Marina del Cantone, one of the most beautiful beaches on this stretch of coastline, situated in a romantic bay sheltered by the Tre Pizzi promontory. Here, you’ll find the Taverna del Capitano, where the Casa Caputo dining room near the entrance serves simple, traditional cuisine, while the Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant boasts a rooftop setting where guests dine overlooking the beach with the sound of the waves as a backdrop. In the open-view kitchen behind the tables, Alfonso Caputo prepares dishes based on local fish, as well as the occasional meat option, all of which have a Mediterranean flavour and a focus on the region’s extraordinary ingredients.

The property pairs an inn with two restaurant expressions: a simpler, traditional room and a rooftop dining room for the starred menu, looking over Marina del Cantone with waves below. The cooking is rooted in Nerano's sea and land, with a tight local supplier network that shapes the menu day to day.

The kitchen works close to Nerano: fish caught off the coast, citrus from nearby terraces, olive oil from local groves, and vegetables and legumes grown within the same strip of coastline. Tomato and sea-salt salinity are part of the signature, with shellfish, squid and rock fish appearing often.

A fish-forward Campanian fine-dining menu, built on the bay's daily catch and the produce of the Sorrentine Peninsula, with tasting menus and an a la carte backbone. Expect clean Mediterranean flavours, intense broths, and pasta that leans on tomatoes, herbs and citrus.
