...or Lucio Liguori in neighboring Raito (shout out to my friend Guido Gambone for connecting me with his ceramics making neighbor!)
Fabbrica Nettuno
Shop
I like stopping in Cetara beforehand to buy salted anchovies and colatura (anchovy elixir) from my pal Giulio Giordano at Nettuno...
Furore
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Lay out and take a dip at Furore, one of the most spectacularly beautiful places on the Amalfi Coast.
Trattoria Da Armandino
Restaurant
At Armandino just let them guide you to the pescato del giorno. There are always local shrimp on the menu, fished in Praiano and fried whole.
La Taverna Del Leone
Restaurant
The menu features local dishes alongside more creative options, all of which are made from carefully chosen ingredients. Classic decor, professional family management and a striking open-view kitchen adorned with local blue-and-white ceramics.
Criscito'S
Permanently closed
Thick rimmed Neapolitan style pizza baked in a wood fired over (or fried) and topped creatively.
Osteria Reale
Permanently closed
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.
Cardone
Cold cut store
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 :)
Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa
Fine dining restaurant
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.
Il Bikini
Lido
On the water in Vico with a Vesuvius view, Il Bikini is a posh beach club with a restaurant. The pasta is great and the frittura mista is lovely.
'E Curti
Restaurant
Further north near Vesuvius in Sant’Anastasia, E’ Curti is freaking amazing and one of my favorite places for Campania comfort food.
