Golden hours, long dinners
Bar Limone
Spritz at sunset, amaro after dinner
Bar Limone · 10:00 – late
Our terrace bar faces west, so by seven the whole bay has turned gold.
Mornings here mean a granita or a strong espresso after the first swim. Later the lights come on: house-made limoncello and amaro from the garden, a spritz at sunset, and wines from Campania’s small family vineyards.
Stay for one glass or the whole evening. Nobody will hurry you, and the view does most of the talking.
La Terrazza
What grows here, and what the boats bring in
Breakfast, lunch and dinner come from one small kitchen, cooked with produce grown or caught within sight of the terrace.
The menu changes with the seasons. Lemons in spring, sun-warm tomatoes in summer, porcini and chestnuts when the evenings cool. The kitchen cooks the classics of the coast, scialatielli with clams, fish baked in salt, delizia al limone, alongside lighter plates for long days in the sun.
Later, the cheese trolley comes round with buffalo mozzarella, provolone del Monaco and pecorino from the hills behind Agerola.
Nothing is fussy and nothing is rushed. Most of the team grew up on this coast and cook the dishes they were raised on.

The cellar
Campanian vineyards and small producers, chosen glass by glass
Our cellar is cut into the rock beneath the terrace and holds more than four hundred labels, from the volcanic whites of Campania to old Taurasi and a few rare bottles from friends along the coast. We keep it for drinking, not for show.
Our sommelier Chiara has known most of these winemakers for years. She’ll pour a Falanghina with the first plate, suggest a Lacryma Christi for the fish and save the Taurasi for the end of the evening. Ask her anything: she would rather talk about wine than recite a list.
