Al Chiar di Luna is an event location, restaurant, bar and boutique hotel in Monte di Procida. The company's most authentic vision is to promote the territory of Monte di Procida and the Campi Flegrei.
Al Chiar di Luna's story tells about a family working passionately in the gastronomic and hotel sector for three generations. They founded Al Chiar di Luna to offer quality services in hospitality, accommodation and à la carte catering. Today, Al Chiar di Luna is a company where dedication, simplicity, passion, commitment, tradition, and innovation find a perfect synthesis and materialise in unforgettable moments.
Our mission consists of realising events and experiences to make customers' and guests' dreams come true: it is a venue, as a meeting point, where the wish of a wedding, an anniversary, a birthday or a romantic weekend can become a reality.
Al Chiar di Luna is the perfect setting for corporate teambuilding, a book presentation, a tango event, and a wedding planner workshop.
What is our differentiating element? The fusion of company history and tradition with maximum efficiency by using state-of-the-art technology in every production and service process.
As a relais, the hotel offers comfortable rooms, parking, a restaurant available by reservation and an incredible view of the islands of Ischia, Procida, Vivara, Ventotene and Ponza. In addition, the hotel provides an excellent concierge service that allows the most exhaustive exploration of the surrounding area. With over 65 years of family history and experience in the catering sector, Al Chiar di Luna is undoubtedly a milestone as a location, restaurant and hotel in the Campi Flegrei area, particularly, in Monte di Procida.
A new project is born at Al Chiar di Luna, a hotel and location for events. A new moon shining in all its beauty: the Novilunio is a restaurant, bistrot and bar.
The restaurant is open from 7.30 p.m. to midnight, while the bar is open from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The Novilunio is an exceptional gastronomic experience where you can enjoy delicious food on the splendid terrace overlooking the sea of the Campi Flegrei, with a breathtaking view of Ischia, Procida, Ventotene and Ponza.
On the terrace, you can relax with an aperitif at sunset or savour a glass of wine on summer nights.
During the evening, you can admire the panorama with the lights of the islands in the distance and on the top floor, you can enjoy a 360-degree view: we are surrounded by enchanting places.
On one end, there is Lake Fusaro, the Casina Vanvitelliana, the Roman beach and Cuma in the distance, the islands of the Gulf and much more.
Our cuisine is an authentic celebration of Neapolitan tradition, with a particular focus on seafood dishes.
Refined and precious food design exalts the Mediterranean flavours, turning each course into a work of art for your palate.
As its name suggests, the new moon (novilunio) was once the day when the moon began to show itself again after a period of darkness. Just like the moon's rebirth, the Novilunio is the perfect place to regenerate and plunge into the beauty of the surrounding nature. However, taste is not the only star at Novilunio; innovation is also at home.
Our chefs use state-of-the-art cooking methods to surprise you with new and captivating flavours, guaranteeing a memorable tasting experience.
The Novilunio offers a bar with a signature cocktail list, an open kitchen on the terraces, and careful and dedicated service.
You can reserve for small events such as birthdays, graduation parties, and anniversaries. Choose the most suitable terrace for your event: Ischia, Procida, Ventotene, la Terrazza dei Sogni e il Palco Vivara.
Come and discover the magic of the Novilunio, where tradition and innovation merge in a unique gastronomic experience enveloped by the enchanting atmosphere of the new moon over the Campi Flegrei sea.
We are ready to welcome you and delight all your senses in an unforgettable culinary journey.
Domenico Mazzella, Al Chiar di Luna’s CEO
Domenico Mazzella, born in 72, is a visionary businessman who built his project based on his experience in the restaurant industry. Since he was a teenager, thanks to his great passion for travel, he has been visiting about 50 countries worldwide. So he has brought to Monte di Procida and Al Chiat di Luna some tiny "pieces" and "experiences" from every territory he has explored. Incredibly passionate about IT, he has transferred state-of-the-art high-tech know-how to his company with a complex home automation system throughout the facility and the best audio-lighting systems on the market. Every day is a continuous and unstoppable evolution: IT knows no break because of the speed of progress and innovation. Moreover, he is profoundly active and engaged in the associative life of Monte di Procida and Campi Flegrei.
Domenico has always been a reference point as an entrepreneur for cultural activities, events and territorial promotion of the area.
In recent years, he has undergone a crucial entrepreneurial transition: from restaurant owner and leader in the events sector to hotel manager, he has completed an all-around guest experience: from food and wine to the territory, from the event to the business or leisure stay.
In 2019, he launched the business network "Campi Flegrei Active" with 50 entrepreneurs from the area. The territorial aggregation project promoted and coordinated by Federalberghi Campi Flegrei aimed to fund an entity performing Destination Management functions for the entire Phlegrean territory.
In December 2022, as a founding partner, he supported the birth of the Pro Loco of Monte di Procida, an organisation intended to promote the territory in such an important year for the municipality, being named "European Municipality of Sports 2023".
In 2022, with Al Chiar di Luna's contribution, he joined the "Authentic Monte di Procida" project. In other words, people from Monte di Procida talk about their territory. This project for Monte di Procida was awarded by SMAU (an acronym for office machines and equipment exhibition) as Innovation 2022 for its impact on the territory and innovative use of crowdfunding as a tool for development and territorial marketing.
