La nostra storia

Two brothers, an island in their hearts

Our story

Sicily is not a region — it is a way of cooking. Salt from the sea, lemon, good oil, and everything is allowed to take its time.

Danilo and Moreno Bilello grew up with this cuisine. What began in Nonna’s kitchen — antipasti that fill half the table, pasta where nobody asks whether there is still room — they continue in Sankt Andreasberg. For more than 15 years, La Capri has stood on Dr.-Willi-Bergmann-Straße, in the heart of the Upper Harz, 600 metres above sea level and yet surprisingly close to Palermo.

Many guests return year after year: locals who have their table, and holidaymakers who save the restaurant for their final evening. Since the renovation, the large terrace invites guests to linger through the summer.

And because good olive oil is the foundation of everything, the Bilellos now press their own: Oliobilello can now also be found in delicatessens and the kitchens of other restaurants. We are proud of that.

What matters to us

  • Homemade antipasti, freshly prepared every day
  • Our family’s own olive oil
  • Fish and fillet prepared with care
  • Dolci made from Nonna’s recipes

Il Cammino

From the south to the Harz

  1. Sicily

    Where the recipe book begins

    Lorem ipsum: the brothers’ childhood, the family garden, the first kitchen. Tell your beginning here in two to three sentences — I’ll gladly add the real text.

  2. 2009

    La Capri opens

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet: the first years in Sankt Andreasberg, the first guest who came back, and the menu that slowly grew.

  3. Renovation

    More space, more terrace

    After the structural change, the large outdoor terrace was created — in summer, the most beautiful place in the house.

  4. Today

    Oliobilello

    The family’s own olive oil is now sold wholesale; delicatessens and restaurants rely on its quality.
