Borgo Santandrea is a luxurious hotel along the Amalfi Coast, just outside Conca dei Marini, and Alici is its fineding, both symbols of Italian beauty. Beyond an interior dining room with vintage-style furniture, dinners always take place on the magnificent terrace with its blue and azure majolica floor, reverberating the splendour of the sky and sea. Chef Crescenzo Scotti clearly loves pleasant places: we remember him previously in Ravello and before that - with a star - on the island of Vulcano. Here he returns with skill and expertise to his favourite territory, that is, the flavours of the

Located near the Spanish Steps, Alici offers Campanian-inspired contemporary dining. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while some praise the fresh pastries, coffee, and homemade pasta like Carbonara, others report unpleasant oil flavors and overcooked vegetables. Service is largely defined by the owner, Vito, who is frequently described as charming and helpful, though isolated incidents of rude treatment and language barriers exist. The atmosphere is clean and suitable for quick bites. Value perception varies significantly, with some finding it economical and others considering it overpriced. It is a locally-run establishment where the personal touch of the owner plays a central role in the overall experience.
Suitable for travelers seeking a local vibe who can tolerate service variability and prefer fresh baked goods.

Housed within the Monastero Santa Rosa, one of the most original and iconic hotels on the Amalfi Coast (the monastery was founded in the 17C and some of its original features can still be seen), this restaurant occupies a spectacular terrace in a magical, tranquil setting with views that extend from the garden to the swimming pool and right out to sea. The cuisine comes courtesy of Alfonso Crescenzo, whose slogan “Nothing is more complex than simple cuisine” lies behind his tasteful reinterpretations of Campania’s traditional dishes, which are natural, full of generous flavours and beautifully

La Caravella’s history is intricately linked to that of gastronomic tourism on the Amalfi Coast, so much so that it’s impossible to mention all the famous personalities who have dined here and fallen in love with the Dipino family’s cuisine. The food is proudly inspired by local and family traditions, while at the same time constantly seeking to reinterpret these traditions and create new imaginative recipes. Examples include pears cooked in Aglianico wine served with raw shrimps and cow’s ricotta cheese, and raw fish and seafood options accompanied by a careful selection of seasonal vegetable

An atmospheric panoramic lift leads from the Casa Angelina hotel to the restaurant: in good weather you can dine on a terrace, by candlelight and with a breathtaking view of the Coast. Leopoldo Elefante's cuisine is Mediterranean and largely dedicated to the sea, although there is never a shortage of excellent meat specialities. Not to be missed is his “soufflé alla pastiera”, a signature dish that combines an international dessert with typically Neapolitan flavours. Great care is given to presentation and the lighting uses various colours to accompany the guest through the different courses,
