ALFONSO’S RECOMMENDATIONS
Pizza beneath lemon trees, dinner in Amalfi’s squares, seafood by the water. These are the restaurants we recommend to our guests: choose the setting for your evening.
Pizza, traditional cooking and dinner in the historic centre.
Dinner in the little square.
Piazza dei Dogi is the setting for this family restaurant. Fresh pasta, citrus and seafood sit alongside meat dishes, in the pedestrian heart of Amalfi.
From Pontone, reach Amalfi by bus or taxi. From the waterfront, enter the historic centre and continue towards Piazza dei Dogi.
The final stretch is pedestrian: the restaurant opens onto the square.
Pizza beneath the lemon trees.
A family-run pizzeria with tables in a lemon garden. Pizza, local ingredients and an informal atmosphere make it a choice for an evening in central Amalfi, a little away from the bustle of the main square.
From Pontone, take a bus or taxi down to Amalfi. From Piazza Duomo, continue through the historic centre towards Salita d’Ancora.
The final approach is on foot and uphill: look for the pizzeria entrance in the lane.
Tradition, thoughtfully reinterpreted.
A historic trattoria in the lanes beside the Cathedral. The kitchen reinterprets Amalfi recipes, with particular attention to fish and raw seafood, alongside a carefully chosen wine cellar.
Reach Amalfi by bus or taxi, then walk to Piazza Duomo. From there, take Via Fra Gerardo Sasso and follow the trattoria entrance.
The restaurant is in the historic centre: discuss any access requirements directly.
Ceramics and trattoria flavours.
A trattoria and pizzeria further into the historic centre, with ceramic tables and outdoor seating on the square. The menu brings together pizza, seafood and traditional Campanian dishes.
Take a bus or taxi down to Amalfi. From Piazza Duomo, follow Via Lorenzo d’Amalfi further into town to Piazza Spirito Santo.
Continue on foot through the historic centre and look for the trattoria tables in the square.
Two places to walk to from the residences.
A terrace between the sea and the valley.
A family-run trattoria and pizzeria, with traditional cooking and tables overlooking the landscape above Amalfi. A place to stay in the village after a day spent exploring.
From your home, walk through the village lanes to Pontone’s square.
Continue towards Via Noce and look for the Antico Borgo sign. This is a village walk with changes in elevation; there is no need to go down to Amalfi.
Village cooking beneath the pergola.
Campanian cooking, seafood, meat dishes and pizza. The terrace and pergola make for an informal meal: another option for dinner in Pontone without arranging a transfer back from the coast.
Walk from your home to Pontone’s square.
From the square, follow the restaurant sign through the village passages around Via Santa Maria.
Terraces, a harbour and a tower by the sea: three places between Amalfi and Maiori.
The sea, the garden, a family kitchen.
The Cavaliere family’s kitchen brings together fish and vegetables from the family farm, with Amalfi Coast recipes and tasting menus. The dining room and terrace look out to sea, beyond Amalfi’s town centre.
From Pontone, reach the restaurant by car or taxi, passing through Amalfi and continuing along the coastal road towards Via Giovanni Augustariccio.
The restaurant is outside the pedestrian centre. Arrange your arrival point and any parking with the restaurant, and plan the return to Pontone too.
A table overlooking the harbour.
A terrace above Amalfi’s marina. The day’s fish, vegetables and seafood recipes are at the heart of a locally rooted kitchen, with boats and the bay in view from the tables.
Reach Amalfi by bus or taxi, then follow Lungomare dei Cavalieri towards the marina.
The final stretch is a walk along the harbour: follow the restaurant sign.
A tower, surrounded by the sea.
An old lookout tower on Maiori’s rocky coast is home to the Proto brothers’ kitchen. Thoughtfully reinterpreted local recipes and terraces overlooking the sea make it a place to spend an evening along the coast.
From Pontone, travel to Maiori by car or taxi. The restaurant is on the coastal road at Via Diego Taiani 4.
The restaurant has private parking: arrange its use when you book. For dinner, plan your return to Pontone in advance too.
Two restaurants worth setting aside an evening for.
Where the table meets art.
A restaurant museum surrounded by Amalfi Coast ceramics and artworks. The Dipino family’s cooking brings together Amalfi tradition and exploration; the cellar houses a collection of rare wines.
From Pontone, take a bus or taxi down to Amalfi. From Piazza Flavio Gioia, walk to Via Matteo Camera near the old Arsenal.
Agree on your arrival time and dining programme before visiting.
The Amalfi Coast through a tasting menu.
Alessandro Tormolino’s contemporary cooking explores flavours from land and sea. Dinner centres on tasting menus; the lunchtime bistrot offers a different experience, to choose when booking.
From Pontone, reach Amalfi by bus or taxi. Continue on foot towards Via Pietro Comite and Hotel Residence, where the restaurant is located.
Ask the restaurant for entrance directions and discuss any access requirements.
