Immersive Theater Experience on the Rooftop Terrace
Between the tables unfolds a breathtaking panoramic vista of Capri: the staggered rooftops of villages, the timeless beauty of the historic center, and the distant silhouettes of the Bay of Naples and Capri's limestone cliffs. Each evening, live performances blend Mediterranean rhythms with Deep House, elevating the atmosphere to its peak. Every Thursday, the rooftop transforms into a retro "Back to the 80s" themed party, evoking nostalgic summer night vibes.
【Crudo Open Kitchen · Dawn of the Sea】
Before the tide recedes, the chef presents the bounty of the Mediterranean on ice-glazed porcelain plates. The fatty tuna belly glows like pink amber, its rich marbling melting on the tongue like waves kissing the shore. The salmon belly, textured with the sweetness of morning mist, is paired with hand-pressed lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, its acidity as bright as Sicilian sunlight yet never harsh.
Most astonishing are the local red prawns—their shells thin as cicada wings, their flesh bursting with a sweetness akin to spilling a jar of honey, finishing with a hint of briny seaweed—a flavor signature unique to Capri’s coastline.
【Chef’s Recommendation · Land and Sea Duet】
Slow-roasted sea bass arrives cloaked in saffron cream sauce, its skin charred amber over charcoal, cracking to reveal snow-white flesh as tender as moonlight on waves. The sauce, golden with local saffron, weaves the richness of cream with the freshness of herbs, as if bottling the lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast and the mineral essence of Mount Vesuvius in one dish.
【Dessert Poetry · Finale of a Summer Night】
As the vintage dessert cart with brass handles glides to the table, the air fills with whispers of vanilla pods and fresh raspberries. The signature Torta Caprese, made with almond flour instead of wheat, conceals a molten dark chocolate core—slice into it, and lava flows, its bittersweet rhythm reminiscent of the legendary tales of poet Hiddigeigei.
Seasonal sorbet features just-picked bergamot, its sharp acidity cooled by elderflower frosting, while pistachio ice cream carries the warmth of Sicilian sun, each scoop brimming with Mediterranean greenery. The finale is the chef’s limoncello jelly, its citrus and liquor notes dancing on the palate like a tipsy tarantella on the terrace.
【Caviar & Champagne · Ode to Time】
Oscietra caviar glistens like pearls on a mother-of-pearl spoon, its initial brininess giving way to nutty, buttery sweetness, paired with rye crisps and crème fraîche—a Byzantine mosaic of flavors. Beluga caviar, liquid gold with gem-like pearls, is adorned with minced egg yolk and chives, luxury tempered with rustic charm.
The 2008 Krug Champagne, its bubbles rising like stardust, harmonizes honeyed toastiness with the caviar’s salinity, evoking the swirling skirts in Sargent’s painting of Rosina.
A Rooftop Steeped in Time
This historic terrace once housed Locanda Pagano, Capri’s first hotel, opened in 1822 and beloved by artists and dreamers. Legend has it that Rosina, a young muse, danced here at sunset, her grace immortalized in John Singer Sargent’s 1878 masterpiece *View of Capri*. Rumor also whispers that poet J.V. von Scheffel once lingered here with his legendary cat, Hiddigeigei, savoring leisurely hours under the sky.
