MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The name of this restaurant refers to its location in a 13C fortified tower, one of many dotted along this coastline. Here, guests can savour a pre-dinner drink or a coffee, before moving into the more classic, elegant dining rooms. Looking across at Vesuvius, the word volcano comes to mind when describing chef Gennaro Esposito – he positively explodes with ideas, creating dishes and anticipating culinary trends as only a few chefs can, trends which are then picked up and copied by other restaurants. His Mediterranean cuisine makes much use of ingredients from Campania, some with combinations that sound strange on the menu but in the hands of Esposito reveal themselves to be full of harmonious contrasts. He uses the simplest fish and seafood (such as horse mackerel, grouper and albacore tuna) in his carefully prepared recipes which feature on tasting menus that showcase his culinary philosophy to the full. His raw fish dishes provide a feast for the eyes and the palate – the fish is sourced directly from local fishermen who bring the best of their catch here. The wine list includes renowned labels and fine vintages; a visit to the historic wine cellar in the tower basement is highly recommended.
