Il Capriccio €
( 0974 84 52 41; Corso da Spiafriddo, Castellabate; meals €18)

Il Capriccio has a gracious host in owner Enxo. The menu runs the gamut from seafood
classics such as
zuppa di cozze
(mussel soup) and
polipetti affogati
(poached octopus) to
less fishy options such as
zuppa di ceci
(chickpea soup).

confection of puff pastry, almonds and seasonal fruit.
