Faces OF 5TH Luca Di Falco savors sharing his Italian culinary roots with Neapolitans at his trio of 5th Avenue South restaurants
BY LINDA MARX | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL CARONCHI
Luca Di Falco zips along 5th Avenue South on his Vespa—the most efficient way to manage three bustling restaurants that are sating appetites in the heart of Naples’ historic district. Diners are drawn to BiCE Ristorante, Caffè Milano, and La Trattoria for genuine Italian dishes and festivity, an ambience that Di Falco hopes transports guests to his native Italy. “I bring the authenticity that only someone who comes from Italy can share,” says Di Falco, managing partner of these popular eateries. “Plus, my three concepts are so different that they can cover any clientele—from fine dining to smart casual to real rustic.” Whether diners indulge in veal osso buco at BiCE Ristorante, pappardelle short ribs at Caffè Milano, or pizza norma and tableside tiramisu at La Trattoria, they enjoy the finest ingredients served with passion and knowledge by a well-trained staff. “What excites me the most about this business is seeing how people enjoy what we do for them,” says Di Falco. So why did he choose 5th Avenue South for three venues? “When you leave a beautiful country like Italy, you can only go to the best places,” Di Falco says. “When I moved to Naples, I only wanted to do business on the most beautiful street—the famous 5th Avenue South. Always the best of the best for me.” 18 5TH AVENUE SOUTH

“
“WHEN I MOVED TO NAPLES, I ONLY WANTED TO DO BUSINESS ON THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STREET— THE FAMOUS 5TH AVENUE SOUTH.” —Luca Di Falco Born in the ancient port city of Catania, Sicily, Di Falco began his hospitality career at age 15, working at his brother’s restaurant in his hometown’s historic Centro Storico neighborhood while studying hotel management. The trajectory of the 39-year-old’s career reads like a passport: from the luxurious seaside Bagaglino Vacanze resort in Porto Cervo to the mountain ski resort Madonna di Campiglio in Italy to Grosvenor House London. While at the 5-star Grand Hotel Excelsior in Malta, Di Falco got a call from Walt Disney World executives in Orlando. This introduction to America was followed by a culinary immersion in the historic district of La Jolla, California, before taking to the seas with Princess Cruises. A pivotal change brought him back to land and ultimately to Naples: helping BiCE Group open new restaurants, followed by a promotion to corporate maitre d’hotel
(head waiter). In 2009, he arrived in Naples to run the elegant BiCE Ristorante. “Naples and especially downtown are a perfect fit for me and my family because I can still explore Miami and New York restaurants for new ideas, then come back to Naples, which is my home,” he says. His favorite days in Naples begin by dropping his child at school before heading to one of his restaurants to answer emails over a cup of expertly brewed espresso. “Then I go to my other restaurants to be sure the team members have all of the tools necessary for an amazing day,” he says. Checking in on his staff and his restaurants is a simple jaunt on his scooter under Naples’ cerulean skies. Though Di Falco is a co-owner of all three of the restaurants, “I also manage these places,” he says. “I am running the operations from A to Z.”

Beauty on the Beach Heal, refresh, unwind, and spruce up BY CATHY CHESTNUT
Naples was founded in 1886 as a winter resort that promoted “surfbathing” in the “healthful” Gulf of Mexico waters, so it’s no surprise that contemporary Neapolitans and visitors seek restoration along these shores—and along 5th Avenue South. Spa on Fifth: The Spa on Fifth, tucked into the Inn on Fifth, has four treatment rooms where hotel guests and members of the public can unwind with a facial, massage, body wrap, or foot pampering. The spa uses high-quality, all-natural products, and offers ear candling, reflexology, hand and foot exfoliating, and scalp stimulation. 699 5th Avenue South, 239.280.2777 Pura Vida Medical Spa: Pura Vida Medical Spa offers 27 services. It is the largest CoolSculpting spa in Southwest Florida, says Jill Salata, who co-owns the facility with her husband, Eric, a physician who is board-certified in internal and aesthetic medicine. Pura Vida offers neck, face, and butt lifts, hair restoration, microdermabrasion, Ultherapy, and Pure Lift. 350 5th Avenue South, Suite 203, 239.919.7872 Salons by JC Naples: Salons by JC Naples is home to 39 beauty and wellness suites where services are offered by an array of specialists,
so savvy planners can have their hair, nails, and eyebrows renewed in a single visit. “It’s a one-stop shop in terms of beauty and wellness,” says managing partner Lisa Bayard. Specialists include colorists, massage therapists, aestheticians, manicurists, and top-rated hairstylists. 800 5th Avenue South, Suite 201, 239.908.6900 Svetlana Kogan, M.D.: Svetlana Kogan, M.D., is a medical doctor who is board-certified in holistic internal medicine, providing three levels of concierge memberships for medical patients. Kogan fuses Western and Eastern practices and science. One focus is weight management. Kogan wrote “Diet Slave No More!” and developed a companion app. Kogan also specializes in “energy medicine”—pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with biofeedback—to treat a range of conditions, including chronic fatigue, and mood and autoimmune disorders. 720 5th Avenue South, Suite 209, 239.676.6883
