LAQUA Countryside

The garden isn't decoration here; it runs across several terraced levels and supplies much of what arrives on the plate. This is a fine dining restaurant on the hills above the Sorrento Coast, where the kitchen cooks Campanian cuisine with a personal point of view rather than a reverential one. Antonino Cannavacciuolo's vision behind the project, and the room carries that particular mixture of genuine quiet and considered comfort that tends to make lunch stretch.
