Great Italian Chefs

"Try chef Salvatore’s favourite, the local Torta Caprese (a chocolate and almond cake). Made overnight by bakers between midnight and 8am, each cake is handmade, summing up the care and attentiveness given to the whole experience at Il Riccio."

"My love affair with the torta caprese began when we first met inside the Temptation Room of the Il Riccio restaurant by the cobalt blue seas and cliff tops of Anacapri. A ‘Temptation Room’? Yes, a room filled to the ceiling with the most incredible Italian desserts. (I have never feasted my eyes on such delights). With a creamy dark espresso. It was love at first taste."
