One family, one kitchen,
a garden by the sea<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In Sant\u2019Agata sui Due Golfi, on the hills between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, the Iaccarino family has welcomed guests for generations: the 1890 in the name recalls the family\u2019s first guesthouse, while the restaurant, opened by Alfonso and Livia in 1973, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023. The online shop brings to your home the same ingredients that go into its kitchen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Fifty years of cooking<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Alfonso and Livia Iaccarino opened the restaurant in 1973; today it is run by their sons Ernesto, in the kitchen, and Mario, in the dining room. The philosophy remains the same: a cuisine that innovates while respecting the age-old food culture and traditions of the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.<\/p>

Don Alfonso 1890 is a member of Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux. Its cellar, carved out of a pre-Roman tunnel, holds more than 25,000 bottles.<\/p>

Sustainability is at the heart of the project: chemical-free farming at Punta Campanella since the 1980s, up to 95% waste sorting and a \u00abZero Waste\u00bb programme; in 2021 the restaurant received the Michelin Green Star. The recent renovation brought solar panels, a heat pump and rainwater recovery, towards the goal of zero emissions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The organic garden facing Capri<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In Termini, in the extraordinary setting of Punta Campanella, Alfonso Iaccarino runs the organic farm Le Peracciole: seven hectares in the wildest part of the Sorrento Peninsula. This is where the extra virgin olive oil, most of the restaurant\u2019s vegetables and the lemons for its famous liqueur come from; it is also home to the bees that make the house honey.<\/p>

\u00abFor us, great cooking is made in the field, just as great wines are made in the vineyard\u00bb<\/em> \u2014 Alfonso and Ernesto Iaccarino<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
