About Giardino dei Principi
Giardino dei Principi stands apart in the Campania region by offering unobstructed views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples from a working restaurant venue, meaning your ceremony and reception unfold within an active culinary operation run by the same family for over 30 years.
The panoramic location in Boscotrecase sits directly on the volcano's slopes, providing a geological and historical backdrop impossible to replicate elsewhere in the area.
What elevates this venue is the integration of farm-to-table dining with celebration logistics, where the kitchen's daily operations inform menu customization for weddings.
