Capri Day 1 - Belly Report:
BR so far today consisted of the usual complementary hotel breakfast (bread, jam, double espresso, coffee, fruit).  That was the last breakfast at Sirenuse, we loved that place - wow they did a great job.  Upon arrival in Capri and to our hotel (Caesar Augustus) we sat for lunch, and what a lunch it was.  We started with the Garden Plate (below is the menu description) 

 

Little bites of traditional  food, rich of the sun and country feeling 

Pan fried eggplant with cherry tomatoes, garlic and basil leaves 

Fried zucchini slices marinated with garlic, balsamic vinegar and peppermint leaves 

Fried eggplant with mozzarella cheese, parmesan, basil and tomato sauce in a crust 

of home made bread


Next I went on to have Spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chili peppers and Dina opted for the special which was sea bass stuffed triangle ravioli topped with tuna medallions. It was great, and we were not finished!  The main course was a whole sea bass, grilled and finished with a lemon butter sauce and I had the Mixed grill meat (sliced beef, sausage, lamb, chicken) 

with vegetables (from their garden).  


We paired the above with a nice Pinot Grigio.  Fantastic lunch, now we have to find room for dinner!
