"The Amalfi Coast can be as touristy as it is beautiful so for the best experience, stick to the places below. And don’t rule out renting a car! Get full insurance coverage so it’s consequence free. It will give you flexibility to pop down to eat amazing mozzarella at Taverna Penta and Vannulo, visit Paestum, and even take a trip to Pepe in Grani in the Alto Casertano or head into Irpinia for spectacular wines made from Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico."

Tramonti, Italy

Osteria Reale

Restaurant · Salerno

For a really nice inland meal, Reale is wonderful. Their timballo of wild greens and sausage, cavatelli with potatoes cooked in terracotta, and braised pork with sundried tomatoes and olives is a window into what the food of the Amalfi Coast was before commercial fishing, refrigeration, and ice arrived in the mid-20th century.

Pianillo, Italy

Cardone

Cold cut store · Pianillo

Inland, Cardone in Agerola does great Salumi and you’ll recognize the place from the Amalfi Coast episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on which I appeared in every segment :)

Vico Equense, Italy

Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa

Temporarily Closed

If you’re looking for something on the way out of the Costiera en route to the airport, I recommend stopping at Nonna Rosa in Vico Equense. The pasta dishes are amazing and Peppe Guida’s food if refined by not precious.
