Gianluigi Lembo's 2026 Season at Taverna Anema e Core
The most legendary club-taverna in the Mediterranean, the nocturnal temple of the Capri jet-set since Guido Lembo. Each night, Gianluigi Lembo and his orchestra lead the Neapolitan-international ritual where cinema, fashion, sport and business royalty cross paths. The 2026 season opened with Fiona Swarovski, Alessandro Preziosi and stars of European football; the July and August dates sell out weeks in advance.
Line-up : Fiona Swarovski, Alessandro Preziosi, Guglielmo Vicario, Krzysztof Piątek, Michael Porter (already seen this season)

The turnkey stay
In Capri, the day belongs to the sea and the night to music: you leave the Faraglioni at sunset, dine late beneath the lemon trees, then wander down Via Sella Orta around midnight as Taverna Anema e Core comes alive — tambourines, Neapolitan songs and tables where everyone ends up on their feet. Everything happens on foot, no car required, between the port and the hanging gardens. An Italian-style summer stay, where elegance means never once glancing at the time.
Where to stay
- Grand Hotel Quisisana — A legendary palace hotel open since 1861, Via Camerelle 2: two pools, the QuisiBeauty spa, a mythical terrace. Less than a 3-minute walk from Taverna Anema e Core — the perfect address for coming home at 4 in the morning.
- Punta Tragara — A Manfredi Collection five-star, Via Tragara 57, set in a villa designed by Le Corbusier facing the Faraglioni. Two outdoor pools, a wellness area, and a private path leading down to La Fontelina.
Where to dine
- Mammà — One Michelin star, Via Madre Serafina 6, steps from the Piazzetta. Precise, generous Mediterranean cooking, blue ceramics and black-and-white photographs. Dinner at 9 pm, then a five-minute walk to the taverna.
- Ristorante Aurora — The island's oldest restaurant, Via Fuorlovado 18-22, a family institution for more than 130 years. Come for the famous pizza all'acqua, served with mozzarella and red peppers — and to watch all of Capri parade past the terrace.
