Hotel Giardino San Michele

Following careful restoration, this old mill has been transformed into a gourmet restaurant with just a few tables. Here, skilful young chef Vincenzo Cucolo delights guests with his cuisine – a combination of creative dishes and old recipes focusing on traditional Cilento ingredients.

Just steps from the sea, at the end of Marina di Pisciotta, this historical trattoria welcomes guests to its leafy outdoor terrace in the warmer months. The cuisine celebrates the local catch with specialties from Campania, where anchovies take center stage as the undisputed stars of the menu.

A rustic restaurant offering an authentic taste of the Cilento area, both in its setting amid lush Mediterranean vegetation and in its regional cuisine. Fish and seafood dominate the antipasti selection, while the main courses focus more on meat and vegetable dishes. Good choice of regional wines, plus the option of a few pleasant guestrooms.

In a beautiful stone-vaulted building (an old 17C monastery) on the town’s seafront promenade, young owner-chef Alessandro Feo has made his mark in this region that perhaps has fewer gourmet restaurants than many places elsewhere. Here, he creates dishes that combine traditional influences and classic favourites from Campania with his own individual flair and creativity. His focus is on local, seasonal ingredients, including produce from his two kitchen gardens and fish sourced from local fishermen as well as from his own ventures out to sea.
