“I managed to amaze my partner, with a wonderful vintage car tour and dinner. The castle was so beautiful and the food truly exquisite, perhaps the best dinner of our trip.”
Meet at Hotel Excelsior on Via Partenope for a four-course fish or meat dinner with wine and water. You’ll dine on the rooftop terrace when conditions allow, or indoors by a window, with time to enjoy views of Castel dell’Ovo, Vesuvius, and the Naples coast.
“The view was a dream, Ovo Castle, Vesuvius and the coast at dusk. The food was very good, we had a 4-course meal, the portions per course were almost too much. Alessandro, our waiter, was great, very friendly and accommodating.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Bernini’s elephant statue, walk past the Pantheon and Ciambella Arch, then descend into Agrippa’s ancient baths for a candlelit four-course dinner, wine pairings, and a lively talk on Roman food.

Pick an evening, a ceremony or a boat.
