The story
Sunrise has been a fixture in Caserta since 2007, and in 2025 it earned a place on the Michelin Guide for the first time. The recognition is no surprise: this is a restaurant built around the sea, even though the coast is a half-hour away. The kitchen works with the daily catch, turning fresh fish and shellfish into something that feels both grounded and inventive.
The team’s approach is direct: “We start from the selection of the day’s catch and transform every ingredient into something else. We chase their essence.” The menu blends classic preparations with unexpected pairings and bold reinterpretations – “between new and ancient flavours,” as they describe it. Dishes change often, sometimes night by night, so every visit offers something different. This is Italian contemporary seafood cooking that respects tradition while looking forward.
Beyond the dining room, Sunrise offers a garden shaded by a citrus grove, perfect for aperitifs or banquets. There is a literary veranda where guests can relax with a book and a drink before or after dinner. The wine cellar is a carefully curated selection, designed to complement the seafood-focused menu, and can be used for private dining. The restaurant also hosts private parties and corporate events, and the lounge and outdoor seating make it a versatile spot in the heart of the city.
