Ristorante Michel’angelo opened in March 2009 by brothers Marco and Gianluca D’Esposito. Their father, Michele D’Esposito, inspired them to open a restaurant where people can go to experience Caprese cuisine and ‘famiglia’ hospitality on the beautiful island of Capri that has been their home for generations. Michele was a chef, carpenter and fisherman on the island who had a zest for life, a warm heart and a contagious smile that always drew people to him. Ristorante Michel’angelo’s food, passion and ambience, as well as the restaurant’s name, ensure the memory of Michele remains alive.

The restaurant is now owned and managed by Gianluca and his Australian wife, Holly, who met in the restaurant in 2013.
