Hotel Resort Lido degli Aranci

Occupying an old restored farmhouse, this large, spacious and attractive restaurant is run by a couple who offer their guests Mediterranean cuisine which is full of flavour. The focus here is on the traditions of Calabria, but the chef’s native region of Campania is also evident in many of the dishes.

The central location, overlooking the rocky shore just steps away, makes this venue an ideal stop for those seeking straightforward, no-frills Mediterranean cuisine. The menu favors the sea, with an excellent raw trio and a series of well-executed pastas, among which the ricotta and red prawn tortello stands out, elevated by a touch of black garlic. The welcome is warm and attention to guests evident in every detail. In short, an excellent gourmet stop.

Perched high on the tufa cliffs overlooking the Costa degli Dei, this contemporary-style restaurant boasts superb views from its dining room and especially from its panoramic summer terrace. The cuisine served by the young owner-chef is as modern as the setting – dishes are light and almost exclusively focused on local fish.
