Because it sits only steps away from the Nocelle entrance to the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) I walked under the archway to this gem and proclaimed "we're coming back here at the end of the hike". It was too charming to skip and, coming back here after 4 hours on the trail , it was everything I desired.
Who wouldn't want an ice cold beer, fresh bruschetta, and multi-million dollar views of the Amalfi Coast from a rustic, wooden, cliff-hanging patio?
Il Chiosco is simple and casual and their offering is perfection.
Upon arrival I was directed to that rustic patio and its only table that wasn't occupied. Timing is everything though and somehow, before my food arrived, the patio had cleared out and it was mine to enjoy alone. Either way was good but I enjoyed experiencing it both ways.
Given its locale, those not hiking the Sentiero degli Dei seem unlikely to visit this place or even know of its existence. This contributes to the feeling that it's a gift bestowed upon one's self for having completed the hike. This describes the place perfectly, and if you've done the hike you'e earned the experience.
