L’Accanto
Located along the Bay of Naples and part of a five-star hotel called Hotel Angiolieri, this restaurant is actually slightly outside Naples, nearer Sorrento but worth the journey.

The cellar, run by his sister, has won the title of ” Italian Best Wine Cellar of the Year” in 2000 and 2003. The dishes are a mix of local flavors and imagination.
