Trattoria Da Lorenzo

10 Best Towns to Visit on the Amalfi Coast, According to Locals

"A beloved family-run restaurant where attentive, homey service meets a kitchen proud of its heritage; the tubetti ai totani (squid pasta) is a highlighted dish when available and reflects a menu tied to the day's catch." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.

"Slightly off the beaten track in the lesser-known village of Scala opposite Ravello, this authentic family trattoria offers an informal change from the many Michelin-starred luxury restaurants dotted along the Amalfi Coast. Da Lorenzo has been serving simple yet excellent fish and seafood cuisine for decades, with a wonderful and highly recommended array of fresh fish on display. A popular panoramic terrace adds to its appeal." - Michelin Inspector

Interview With the Avino Sisters of Palazzo Avino in Italy - AFAR

"A small, very local, family-run restaurant in nearby Scala favored by the hotel’s owners for simple, excellent cooking. The operation is generational—Lorenzo with his son Luca front-of-house and brother Gerardo in the kitchen—and is recommended as a relaxed, go-to spot where diners trust the staff to choose the best dishes." - Laura Itzkowitz
