Set amidst a 13th-century convent overlooking the Mediterranean, Executive Chef Claudio Lanuto invites guests to savor heritage dishes reimagined with modern flair. Inspired by his family’s recipes and refined through international culinary ventures, Chef Claudio crafts a menu spotlighting fresh ingredients from the hotel’s onsite garden and local waters.
The dining adventure begins with a unique “Bread Ritual,” paying homage to the convent’s history with traditional grissini and toasted flatbread symbolizing historic Amalfi paper. Guests can choose from two distinct five-course tasting menus: La Grande Bellezza, a seafood symphony featuring Neapolitan pesto risotto with red prawns, and Ever Green, a vegetarian delight showcasing dishes like eggplant with tomatoes and goat cheese tortellini. Both menus offer wine pairings and the exclusive Limoncello Experience.
For a personalized dining experience, a la carte options include highlights such as monkfish cutlet with raspberry vinegar dressing and Chef Claudio’s special Sfusato Amalfitano lemon cake. A standout of the season is the centennial celebration of Cannelloni, invented in 1924 at the hotel, now available in classic beef and tomato coulis or inventive variations like cod with spirulina.
Adding to the culinary tapestry is La Locanda della Canonica Pizzeria’s new creation, the ‘Convento Pizza,’ crafted with ancient grain flour and local ingredients like sardines and Amalfi lemon zest.
At Dei Cappuccini Bar, Head Barman Luigi Gallo introduces a botanical concept inspired by the convent’s garden, featuring signature cocktails like the Amalfitano and Spritz dei Cappuccini, celebrating the hotel’s unique Amaro Dei Cappuccini and Amalfi Coast lemons.
This summer, indulge in a sensory voyage at Dei Cappuccini, where past and future converge in a historic yet contemporary feast for the senses against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean.
