Faro Punta Imperatore is a magical place. During the day only the guests of the lighthouse hotel can enjoy the unique atmosphere. In the evening, when the light begins its work, it opens to everyone. You can reserve a table inside the lighthouse or on the spectacular terrace  for a gourmet dinner. 

The lighthouse dinner is an event. It begins with an aperitif on the rooftop terrace, which offers 240-degree views of the Mediterranean and almost  unbelievable sunsets.

As the beacon shines 24 miles across the sea, guests head to the two restaurant rooms or, in summer, the large lighthouse terrace to be pampered by chef Antonio Monti and his team.

Antonio Monti is a son of the island. His parents run one of the best restaurants in Forio and recognised and encouraged Antonio's talent for cooking at an early age. He learned on the mainland from some of Italy's best chefs and is now returning to his island to build something very special at Faro Punta Imperatore. The Luci is a unique culinary experience, offering a contemporary take on gourmet dining and is a star in its own right.

The fish is caught directly in front of the lighthouse. Some of the herbs and vegetables are harvested from the lighthouse garden. Those that don’t come from the lighthouse, Antonio has most delivered by a friend who studied agricultural science in Bologna and whose grandfather was once one of the biggest farmers on the island. Now, he has bought back one of these ancestral farms to plant old vegetable varieties, which he sells exclusively to the lighthouse team.
