The story
In the small fishing village of Nerano, perched between the cliffs of Sorrento and Positano, Taverna del Capitano has welcomed guests for over half a century. What began as a hotel in 1967 has evolved into a destination where the warm hospitality of Campania meets the finest dining. The restaurant overlooks Marina del Cantone, and the setting—between sky and sea—remains as unhurried as the scents and flavours of an earlier time.
The kitchen at Taverna del Capitano draws deeply from the land and the sea that surrounds it. The menu is a balance of tradition and elements of avant-garde, transforming local products into refined dishes. The restaurant’s Michelin star recognises this high-quality cooking, where every plate reflects the colourful wealth of Campanian ingredients. The wine list, noted as interesting, complements the seafood-driven cuisine.
Dining here is an affair of place: outdoor seating lets you feel the sea breeze, while the interior offers air-conditioned comfort. The restaurant also offers takeaway, a nod to modern needs without compromising the quality that earned its star. Whether you come for the tasting menu or a single course, the flavours speak of Nerano’s enduring character—a gem that has remained true to itself for 50 years.
