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

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
