Capotavolo

The restaurant at the Capofaro Resort is run in collaboration with the Niko Romito Culinary School, giving youngsters studying to become chefs a chance to test their skills. A professional chef oversees the operations, of course, and on a recent visit, the food, ranging from Sicilian classics to more elevated Mediterranean fare, was excellent. The wine list is, of course, strong in Sicilian vintages, particularly from the owning Tascas. Much of the produce and herbs, too, are grown on property. Come a bit early and have an aperitif on the glorious terrace of the Capofaro before a meal, with incredible views across the Tyrrhenian Sea, with Stromboli and Panarea in the background.
