It would be no exaggeration to say that this restaurant (part of the Villa Cimbrone hotel) is situated in one of the most romantic and exclusive spots in Italy, surrounded by luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation and with stunning views of the Gulf of Salerno. Once at the restaurant, you make your way to the terrace, where views of the sea with the Cilento mountains in the distance are framed by a beautiful wisteria. The chef from Campania offers guests a superb selection of local produce, prepared in traditional and reinterpreted dishes that are full of the intense and explosive flavours of this
WebsiteAll five senses will be satisfied by a visit to the gourmet restaurant of the Hotel Residence. Housed in a splendid 18C palazzo just a few metres from the famous cathedral, the restaurant boasts an interior design which combines modern and functional features with the building’s classic look, using a colour scheme which is typical of the Amalfi Coast. Although the cuisine focuses mainly on Mediterranean fish and seafood, the menu also features a few meat specialities.
WebsiteLa 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
WebsiteSituated on the fifth floor of the Due Torri hotel, the restaurant has recently been refurbished, giving it an even more charming and atmospheric feel than before. The cuisine is creative in style, almost always using ingredients and recipes from Campania as its inspiration – a good example is the many different ways tomato is used, including tomato water distilled in an alembic still. Chef Alfonso Crisci’s recipes are complex and always full of different ingredients and colours, with a selection of delicious and generous desserts to finish your meal.
WebsiteSituated just outside Amalfi with the elegant Mediterranean landscapes of the Amalfi Coast as a backdrop, this fine-dining restaurant at the beautiful Santa Caterina hotel is perched above the sea and boasts stunning views and a tranquil ambience. Talented chef “Peppe” Stanzione from Salerno is at the helm here, having gained experience in renowned Michelin-starred restaurants in places as far afield as California, Australia, China and Thailand. While his passion for Asia is obvious in some dishes, it is the flavours and recipes of Campania that are to the fore, combined with other more exotic
WebsiteFollowing renovation work, the frescoed dining room at this restaurant now has the feel of a contemporary osteria, while its attractive terrace boasts tables overlooking the picturesque village’s small square. The menu focuses mainly on fish and seafood (although a few meat options such as tomahawk ribeye and steak also feature), including raw fish, tartares, fried anchovies stuffed with smoked provolone cheese, grilled dishes and pasta, including spaghetti with the local anchovy sauce. If you choose fish from the dry-ageing cabinet, you’ll add a little extra to your bill. The desserts are als
WebsiteA very small, atypical restaurant, almost a bistro with only tables outside, at the counter with stools overlooking the sea or in the more classic dehors. The menu lists several fish recipes! You will find bluefin tuna, anchovies, squid... after all, the owners have been involved in fishing for four generations. Those with a sweet tooth should know that there is only one dessert on offer, the spumone, made for them by a nearby artisan ice-cream parlour. The dish that won the inspector over: octopus tentacles with chickpea hummus and anchovy colatura, simple but very tasty!
