Gennaro Amitrano Capri: Modern Cuisine on the Amalfi Coast (Michelin Recommended)

A Passion for Cooking

Chef Gennaro Amitrano’s love for cooking began as a child, inspired by his father. He honed his skills under multi-Michelin-starred Gianfranco Vissani and later worked with Alain Ducasse at the Louis XV in Monte Carlo. These formative experiences taught him discipline and a deep respect for ingredients, which now define his cooking in Capri. The chef’s talent has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide, recognized for the quality of its modern cuisine.

The Kitchen: Quality, Tradition, Innovation

At his eponymous restaurant, Chef Amitrano blends innovation with Italian tradition. Every plate is carefully crafted, telling a story of passion and territory. His Modern Cuisine transforms something as simple as a spaghetti al pomodoro into a sophisticated, elegant taste experience. The chef’s personal touch and the pristine quality of his ingredients are the foundation of every dish.

A Sense of Place

The restaurant’s philosophy starts with sourcing. Chef Amitrano selects each ingredient for its quality and territorial identity, highlighting products like artisanal Cocco pasta from Abruzzo, carnaroli rice from Tenuta Castello in Vercelli, and a delicate Umbrian olive oil from Alberto Cipolloni. This commitment is reflected in seasonal menus that honor nature and the landscape. Set along the Marina Piccola, the restaurant offers an atmosphere of pure relaxation, ideal for a memorable lunch or dinner in one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful settings.
