This charming restaurant in the Salerno hinterland is the creation of a passionate duo: Salvatore in the kitchen and Federica in the dining room. With just a few glass‑topped tables set beneath a lofty ceiling that recalls the historical character of the building, the atmosphere is intimate and enhanced by Federica’s attentive service (Service Award 2024) and her thoughtful storytelling of the wine list, which includes excellent selections by the glass.

Recently re-opened under new management, this charming restaurant winds its way from room to room until you finally arrive at the palazzo’s old cellars, the jewel in its crown. The cuisine here has quickly made a name for itself, focusing on strong links with regional traditions and showcasing local favourites on a menu full of tempting options, including salumi, local vegetables, pasta dishes, grilled meat options and typical local ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes. The delicious cuisine pays tribute to the fine culinary traditions of Campania.

The double “u” in this restaurant’s name is not a mistake but was added with the intention of evoking the flow and sound of water that can heard from afar. Here, chef Angelo Borghese demonstrates his passion for the sea through his delicious, precise and personalised recipes in which the highest quality fish takes centre stage. The escarole and anchovy pizza with colatura mayonnaise is excellent, as is the selection of raw and marinated fish dishes.

The area around Montoro, famous for its cipolla ramata (copper onion), is now also home to a gourmet restaurant thanks to young chef Francesco Cerrato, whose cuisine is inspired by locally sourced ingredients from this inland region as well as fish and seafood from the coast. The menu also features creative, carefully prepared dishes served by the attentive young staff. Minimalist-style ambience.

Overlooking a piazza surrounded by picturesque arcades in the historic centre (a walk around this district is highly recommended), this restaurant run by the Rispoli family continues to uphold its fine-dining traditions. Although a few meat dishes feature on the menu, it is its fish options (mainly traditional, such as tuna with mussels and escabeche-style aubergine) and occasionally imaginative desserts, such as the cheesecake with toffee and raspberry, that are the main attraction here.
