La Caravella is one of the most important enogastronomical “deposit” in our country
Rocco Moliterni la Stampa

We are in the presence of one of the classical restaurants which made the history of the new Italian cuisine. It is not a question of scores or evaluations, but instead enjoyment of a complete experience with highest levels. Finding again the scents which you used to enjoy, a perfect atmosphere, chatting four hours about anecdotes of the last half century, is something you can experience only once you sit at important table such as Don Alfonso, La Locanda del Pescatore, Da Vittorio o Pinchiorri. They all play in another champioship.
Luciano Pignataro

The legend… la Caravella cellar… one of the best cellars in Italy
 James Suckling

Jealous, scrupulous and wise keepers of this sanctuary of food, are for sure the Dipinos, who hand down secrets and inventions of granmothers and mothers, following tradition open to innovation.

The sun in the dish
by Salvatore Quasimodo

Out of the noisy touristic flow, without the unnecessary sea-view, La Caravella is a quiet place with simple and rigorous furnishings, where everything contributes to the necessary concentration for one’s taste in the practice of enjoyment of the fine cuisine, linked to the tradition of Campania. In a peaceful and meditative atmosphere, more than pleasant, unobtrusive, but at the same time respectful and attentive of those who – both in the kitchen and in the dining room – have made of this restaurant a special place and an emblem of the civilization of good cooking.
