Restaurant
Capofaro
Chef Gabriele Camiolo
An ambitious chef from the South of Italy, Ludovico De Vivo’s food combines the Tasca d’Almerita passion for good food, rooted in a rich and profound gastronomic history, that brings together lessons of the ‘monsu’ (the chefs of the Sicilian and Neapolitan aristocratic homes) with peasant knowledge from historical Sicilian feudal estates. Inspired by the concept of ‘zero kilometer’ cooking, our local vegetable gardens provide 70% of the produce used in the kitchen. The wheat for the bread* (made with sourdough starter) and pasta is grown in the Tasca family home, Regaleali, as are the olives for the extra virgin olive oil. Waste is reduced to a minimum, and whatever little is left is transformed into compost for the grapevines. *Our bread was voted ‘best bread on the table in Italy’ by the Gambero Rosso Restaurant Guide 2018.
