About Luce
Born from a simple, ambitious idea
Luce takes shape from the meeting of a passion for cuisine, a love for the island, and the desire to create an experience that is both authentic and refined. It is not just a restaurant, but a project built with care, vision, and deep respect for what makes Capri unique: its natural beauty, its culture of hospitality, and the pleasure of slowly living the "Dolce Vita". This is how Luce was born — an essential yet sophisticated response for those seeking something true, in a timeless place.
Romantic by nature, vibrant by choice
Luce is designed to adapt to the moment — intimate and quiet when the sun sets, lively and joyful as the evening unfolds. The warm lighting, the music, the rhythm of service: everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels effortless, yet curated. It’s the kind of place where a couple can toast in silence, or friends can gather for a night that becomes unforgettable. At Luce, every evening has its own glow.
Salvatore, our Executive Chef
Chef Salvatore De Vivo fully embraces the vision of Luce: a cuisine that is essential, sincere, and centered on the ingredient. His experience in Michelin-starred kitchens has given him the tools to elevate flavors without ever overpowering them.
For Salvatore, technique is not about reinventing tradition — it’s about mastering it. Every gesture in the kitchen reflects a deep respect for classic recipes, executed with precision, attention to details and care to bring out the purest expression of each ingredient.
An essential approach to cuisine
At Luce, we believe that simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. Our cuisine doesn’t chase trends or theatrics — it focuses on purity, precision, and the natural elegance of high-quality ingredients. Every dish is thoughtfully composed to bring out true flavor, with no distractions, no unnecessary flourishes. It’s a bold choice, and an ambitious one: to let the ingredients speak for themselves and to create an experience that feels both grounded and exceptional.
