Restaurant Il Capriccio in Vieste is JRE chef Leonardo Vescera’s take on a place you can settle into and stay a while. The menu is broad and built on high-quality ingredients, thoughtful plates and a cellar chosen with the same care. Service is attentive and warm, keeping things easy from the first glass to the last course. The goal is simple: a lunch or dinner where you can relax, eat well, and enjoy the table.
In the kitchen, Vescera keeps things flexible. He cooks to the day, to the catch, and to what guests feel like eating. Seafood and local produce lead the way, with space for improvisation and new ideas. That’s why the experience changes from visit to visit, while the style stays recognisable.

Restaurant Il Capriccio
It is no wonder this is one of the best restaurants in the Gargano area if you witness the careful creation of the special dishes by chef Leonardo Vescera. Through his unique and incomparable process, he brings together the characteristic flavours of the Gargano region and enhances them in an unrivaled way.

Il Capriccio’s cuisine
Chef Leonardo’s delicious cuisine combines local seafood with the traditional vegetable dishes which are so popular in Puglia. For example, the authentic rice, potato and mussel dish is highly recommended, while more adventurous gourmets might also like to try the special menu based on recipes from bygone days.
An all-time favourite on the menu is the delicious risotto with fermented black garlic, almonds and sea cicadas. This cozy seaside inn is an unmissable stop for anyone looking to try the best restaurants in the Gargano, Il Capriccio, and enjoy their food and drinks with breathtaking views of the marina.
