A true taste experience in Nerano ❤️ There are restaurants where you simply go to eat and others where you live a true experience. La Taverna del Capitano in Nerano definitely belongs to the second category. The experience began with a simple gesture, but one already capable of telling the philosophy of the cuisine: a taste of their oil, accompanied by freshly baked bread, fragrant and irresistible. A small beginning that already promised great things. Then the squid with potatoes, delicate and flavorful, up to the real plot twist: a spaghetti with mussels and lemon that was simply fantastic. A dish where the scent of the sea meets the freshness of the lemon in a perfect balance, capable of leaving a mark. And to conclude, a lemon delight from another time: authentic, elegant, delicious, with that flavor that knows how to take you back in time and that you wish would never end. A cuisine that does not need special effects, because it speaks through the quality of the raw materials, the care, and the flavors of our land. All in one of the most beautiful places on the Coast. La Taverna del Capitano was not simply a dinner: it was a journey into the flavors of Nerano. An experience to remember and, above all, to repeat. ❤️

My wife and I are well traveled and have visited many restaurants. We live in Washington DC and Florida and have had many food experiences. This restaurant was spectacular. It starts with the greeting and the escort up the elevator or stairs into the restaurant and then thevexplanation of the restaurant the view and the history. They have one of the most extensive cocktail menus that I have seen in a long long time. Please especially try the local gins. Their gin selection is numerous. Included in your meal are various food tastings you don’t expect. I would recommend three or five course à la carte tasting where you can pick three courses or five courses. Please note that dessert is included as one of your courses so that if you get the three course you get a dessert and two other choices. You can choose from all the categories you do not have to choose a first course and second course or a third course you can choose everything from the main course if you wish. They will do a wine pairing for you even though it’s not listed on the menu you just have to talk to the Sommelier and he will take it from their based on what you have ordered. i’ve never experienced such a wonderful wine pairing. He adopted three different styles based on what people were eating. One style was an Italian style wine tasting. The second style was a french style wine tasting and the third style was an English style wine tasting. I had to look up all the differences on AI after dinner. What a sophisticated wonderful evening. Service was spectacular. The kitchen is right there where you eat so you can smell the food and see them making fresh food. It’s probably the second or third best restaurant I’ve ever eaten in my 40 years of business. Plan to spend anywhere for $200-$300 per person, but it is worth it.
