Ristorante “Il Riccio” located on the island of Capri in Italy became part of the Capri Palace Hotel & Spa under new ownership, and a major renovation returned it to a Mediterranean stylish hangout.

The new owner wanted a traditional Mediterranean ambience of the 1950s and 1960s. The restaurant interior design by Marco De Luca features a white and blue colour scheme with Mediterranean wood furnishings, and mosaic tiles create an atmosphere emblematic of Capri.
