Leonardo Vescera gained his culinary work experience in Italy and Europe. He has also worked overseas at different locations. This gave him the inspiration and skill to become a top chef. Working with the world's best chefs, he learned all the secrets of the gastronomic trade. His travels brought him from Portugal to Switzerland, from Moscow to the United States, from the Italian Embassy in Paris to Don Alfonso in Naples, eventually to return to Vieste where he now works his magic in the kitchen of Il Capriccio.
“Straight, sincere cooking, never predictable.”
Il Capriccio
Vieste (FG), ItalyRestaurant 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.
