Capri
Ristorante Aurora
The oldest active restaurant on the island, Aurora is popular not just because of its impressive list of celebrity guests (Giorgio Armani, Michael Douglas, Mariah Carey), but also due to chef Franco Aversa’s take on Neapolitan and Caprese specialties like sformatino alla Franco (rice pie in prawn sauce), spaghetti alle vongole (clams), and pizza all’acqua, a thin crust sprinkled with mozzarella and hot peppers. The wine cellar contains with more than 300 labels of rare Italian and French vintages. Although a historic property, the interior design is distinctly modern, with white leather banquettes, wood floors, and dozens of celebrity photos.
Insider Tip:
With such a high profile, getting a seat is not always easy, especially during the peak tourist season. Your hotel's concierge, however, probably will have better luck.
