Here are some of my favorite places to eat in our corner of Italy’s South; the Sorrento and Amalfi Coast, and Naples too. The list will be updated regularly as I discover new places and revisit old favorites and discover them anew. Even with a stellar reputation, as we all know, restaurants can change overnight. These are places that I recommend because I have had consistently good dining experiences, and hope that you will too.
Several of these restaurants I have worked with in the kitchen and have shared their recipes, or have written further about on the site. I’ve added a link at the end of the listing to explore more, if you like.
Buon Appetito!
Amalfi
A fast but scenic boat ride from Amalfi’s port, this lovely restaurant and bathing establishment sits at waters edge on Santa Croce beach. This is an idyllic place to go if you would like to escape the frenzy of the city’s center for a while, dine on exceptional fish and seafood, and enjoy the relaxing lifestyle of the Amalfi Coast. Start the meal with the insalata di mare (cold fresh seafood salad) or the parmigiana di alici (anchovy parmesan), which is one of the best I have ever had. Follow up with the risotto alla pescatora (seafood risotto) or the large tube pasta with flying squid and tomatoes. For dessert, do not miss the sorbet filled frozen lemons. They are refreshing and perfectly sweet, a great top-off to the meal and palate cleanser as well. A wonderful experience. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

For the first-course, try the spaghetti alla Jaqueline, which is the house specialty pasta dish, made with zucchini and Italian bacon. Second course-wise, I’d go with the mixed grilled (or fried) fish and seafood, or the pesce all’ acqua pazza, which is a whole fish poached in its own juices with a few aromatics and tomatoes.
