"It was a beautiful setting for a sunset dinner. The courses and wine pairings were delicious. Driving up the hill through Bacoli was an adventure and the dinner was well worth it"

Valentine’s Day: the most romantic Italian restaurants are in Campania
‘Caracol Gourmet‘ in Bacoli, in the province of Naples, turned out to be the uttermost romantic restaurant in Italy. Not only the service is impeccable and the food delicious, but it also has a breathtaking view overlooking the coast of the entire Bay of Naples. The silver medal goes to ‘Terrazza Bosquet‘ in the charming Sorrento, again in the province of Naples, and again a restaurant with an amazing view on the sea.
