If you needed another crime drama to sink your teeth into after binge-watching The Cage<\/a> then fear not, because ITV<\/a> has you covered.<\/p>\n

And you’ll wish you could quite literally bite into this one too. A Taste for Murder is set in Italy with drool-worthy food<\/a> to match – DCI Joe Mottram’s parents-in-law are the owners of a beachside family restaurant, sharing their recipes with him and his teenage daughter, Angelica, when they come to stay for some much needed TLC following his wife and Angelica’s mum’s death.<\/p>\n

Alas, similarly to how just as you sit down to enjoy a meal the doorbell goes or the dog kicks off, DCI Mottram is far from allowed easy respite, his trip to Capri interrupted when a murder case crops up. <\/p>\n

But if you catch yourself eyeing up a visit to one of the locations you’re set to see on-air tonight on ITV for a cheeky last-minute getaway<\/a>, we have you covered.<\/p>\n

Just because the drama is set in the luxurious, sun-soaked island of Capri surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy<\/a>, that doesn’t necessarily mean all the scenes were filmed in that exact location either… <\/p>\n

Where was A Taste for Murder filmed? <\/p>\n

The six-part series was partially filmed in the location the drama is set in Capri, a lush Italian island located in the Bay of Naples featuring dramatic cliffs and studded with coves. <\/p>\n

Other Italian locations reportedly included Naples, the capital of Campania in the south of Italy. Naples is known as the birth place of pizza – add that to your pub quiz knowledge<\/a> – and features a bustling atmosphere. Filming also took place in the vibrant Naples neighbourhood of Marianella, according to Prime Timer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, Italy wasn’t actually the show’s main location, despite the action being set in it, with much of the filming for A Taste for Murder taking place in Croatia. <\/p>\n

The areas of Opatija, Volosko and Labin were used in particular. Opatija is a coastal town dubbed the “Pearl of the Adriatic” sea, dotted with picturesque villas and pebby coves. We even spotted flights online to Opatija from London for a mere \u00a337<\/a>… <\/p>\n

Volosko is part of Opatija, specifically a fishing village within the town known for showcasing some exquisite restaurants. And Labin? A town in Istria featuring gorgeous historic buildings and spectacular views from the hilltop. <\/p>\n

Where is the Da Vinale\u2019s restaurant? \"a\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenes set in the Da Vinale’s family restaurant were reportedly filmed in Opatija.<\/p>\n

Series producer Jo McGrath reflected, as quoted by Country and Town House<\/a>: “The moment the team came back from the recce and showed us the location, we knew we had a show.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a beautiful location but abandoned and a little worn. The vista and the view were everything we had envisaged for the show.”<\/p>\n

And a fun related fact about the police precinct… <\/p>\n

Where is the police precinct? <\/p>\n

The location of the Da Vinale family taverna in Opatija reportedly doubled as the location for the show’s police precinct. Handy that. <\/p>\n

A Taste of Murder kicks off on ITV tonight, Wednesday, 29th April at 9pm. It’s also available to watch on ITVX. <\/p>\n
