Located just 30 minutes by boat from the city of Napoli, Italy, modern day Capri is a world renowned resort noted for its' natural beauty, charm, hospitality and cuisine. The island has been a destination since man was capable of traveling there. Tiberio, the emperor of the Roman Empire, built many villas and ruled the Empire from Capri. Krupp, the German business magnate, financed a road that joined Quisisana, where he lived, to the Marina Piccola. It has been called "the world's most beautiful road" because of the way it hugs the rock and the clever use of local construction materials. Today, the 8,000 natives of Capri and 7,000 Anacaprians share their island with people from the world over. Artisans, international film and entertainment stars. Travelers seeking the unique flavors that are Capri.

Titina and Costanzo have spent the better part of their lives entertaining and pleasing guests in their native Capri. It is here in their beloved Capri that both Costanzo and Titina's families have played a major role in defining Caprisian hospitality. Costanzo's father, Raffaele, was the first coffee shop owner in the 1930's to offer his guests outside seating in the famous Piazzetta of Capri. His "Grand Caffe' " started a trend in Rome, Venice, Florence and spread quickly to other resorts like Positano, and Portofino. The Grand Caffe' Vuotto became a well known landmark. Titina's mother, Margherita, invented the La Caprese salad in her restaurant "Trattoria Da Vincenzo" on the beach Marina Piccola of Capri. The La Caprese salad was born so that the ladies could "have a nice lunch while still fitting into their bikinis." La Caprese salad is offered on menus the world over.

After working in their family businesses for quite some time, Costanzo and Titina opened La Pineta, a small hotel on Capri. Over time, the hotel was expanded including additional guest rooms, a restaurant and the world-class amenities which earned La Pineta a four star rating. Here, Costanzo and Titina have hosted people from all walks of life including many celebrities from the arts.
