Bikini history

The Scarselli family history has been identified with the Bikini Bay for the last fifty years and over. The family is truly committed to a constant improvement and renewal of the structure, as well as to the developing of services, always aimed at the accomplished and friendly care of their guests.

Starting from the small cozy beach resort of the beginning arranged for a group of friends and recognized by a symbol became known all over the world (the two palm trees on the atoll that indicates the border of the harborage) Bikini has gradually established on what is today a strong and dynamic family tradition.

According to several ways and levels of increasing professionalism, the innate vocation for hospitality has, so, developed the ancient taste of being good together, within the background of a beautiful, lovingly and protected nature, of an Italian tree park and of a seascape that make up Bikini an island of leisure and peacefulness.

The Restaurant

Thank s to the passion and curiosity of the owners, Riccardo and Liliana, the restaurant-pizzeria Bikini, built in 1980 to meet the growing demands of the guests resort, has now become a structure with its own character and a place of special exciting attractions.

Extended on several levels, the area is furnished in the main space of the entrance with functional cupboards from the nineteenth century that give an intimate atmosphere, like that of a villa, with its own rules and habits.

Among luxuriant plants and important paintings, the tables (well spaced the ones from the others) are collected in the large flowered closed porch overlooking the bay as well as in the front shaded terrace jutting out onto the terraced hanging gardens sloping down to the beach. This is the area dedicated to parties and theme nights.

The restaurant, already rightly renowned, is now renewed thank s to the great talent of its young and ambitious Chefs, Domenico and Antonino De Simone.

We want to remain close to our formula, which has gone untouched through all the fashions of the imported different cuisines. It simply consists in the synthesis of the genuineness of the products of the land, the Bikini kitchen garden products, the fish of the bay and an expert processing interested in research but always “natural” and never contrived.

Professionalism and cordiality, ancient wisdom and modern techniques of restoration therefore contribute to a discreet approach to cooking, always very popular with Italians and foreigners guests.

We only choose the most genuine products, preferring local raw materials to imported goods. Our menu offers wines from Campania as well as national and international ones, different kinds of champagne and a selection of craft beers.

The choice of selected ingredients of the highest quality is the basis of our idea of cuisine.

It’s just this way that we can guarantee our customers a healthy and natural menu, where Mediterranean cuisine is the real ruler.

We are strictly related to the Sorrento Peninsula and the Vico Equense area, place where our Chefs have been living for generations.

We take care of our kitchen garden and of our oil production ourselves and we get most of our seafood products from the coast sea.

Anyway, a so rich territory does not limit our creativity, but it constantly gives us insights and ideas to be developed and proposed with passion.
