The story

Pepe Nero Capodimonte – Modern Cuisine & Seafood on Lake Bolsena

On the shores of Lake Bolsena, in the heart of Capodimonte, Pepe Nero Ristòria offers an experience of quiet elegance. The restaurant combines a contemporary vision with deep roots in the Tuscia region, a philosophy that has earned it a place in the MICHELIN Guide and recognition from Gambero Rosso.

Chef Salvo Cravero

The kitchen is led by Chef Salvo Cravero, a figure with over thirty years of experience in Italian gastronomy. Born in Molise in 1977, his career includes a stint at the Michelin-starred Le Sans Souci in Rome, membership in Euro-Toques, and designing first-class menus for Alitalia and ITA Airways. Today, he brings that wealth of experience to the lake, crafting a cuisine that blends memory with a creative, contemporary approach.

Cuisine of Lake and Sea

The menu is a dialogue between the lake and the sea, with seafood playing a prominent role. Chef Cravero’s cooking is defined by refined technique, a sensitive creativity, and absolute respect for the raw ingredient. The result is a modern cuisine that tells the story of the territory while transforming it into a sensory experience. A dynamic wine list, featuring both Italian and international labels, complements the tasting journeys.

Atmosphere on the Water

The setting is essential and harmonious. Large windows and a terrace overlooking Lake Bolsena fill the space with light and calm. The service is discreet and warm, allowing the food and the view to speak for themselves. It is a place for a quiet lunch or a refined dinner, where every detail contributes to an authentic and timeless experience.
