  • 1. Da Ciccio: Cielo Mare Terra

    $$

    Featuring, as its name suggests, stunning views of sky, sea, and land and run by the fourth generation of the famiglia Cavaliere (sommelier Giuseppe, front-of-house manager Antonio, and chef Marco), this restaurant just outside of town serves exquisite dishes made with fresh local produce—often from its own orto garden and the sea below. Many diners opt for the aromatic theater al tavolo of the signature spaghetti al cartoccio dal 1965 (spaghetti with clams, olives, capers, tomatoes, and oregano), which the ever-smiling Antonio removes from baking paper, mixes, and serves.

    Via Giovanni Augustariccio 21, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy

    Known For

    • Warm family-run place with home-grown produce

    Rate Includes: Closed Tues. No lunch Mon.--Thurs.
  • 2. Pasticceria Andrea Pansa

    $

    Amalfi's famed historic pasticceria (est.1830) is a must-visit for a breakfast capuccino and sflogliatella or lip-smacking limoncello with delizia al limone dessert. For the full indulgence grab a table outside but remember it's a lot cheaper and atmospheric consuming al banco (at the bar) watching the patrons and smartly attired baristi. 

    Piazza Duomo 40, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy
    089-871065

    Known For

    • Delicious chocolates, biscotti, and candied fruits
    • Tables on the piazza
    • Cakes galore including torta Caprese, pastiera, and colomba
  • 3. Saraceno D'Oro

    $$

    Although open for lunch, this reliable restaurant—tellingly popular with the Positanesi—truly comes into its own in the evening. Living up to its name, the ambience is distinctly Moorish without being kitschy; wood-fired pizza and hearty costiera seafood dishes dominate the menu. The outside tables are on the opposite side of Via Pasitea—great for experiencing the bustle that is Positano, but if you're sensitive to the smell of car exhaust, sit inside or away from the street.

    Via Pasitea 254, Positano, Campania, 84017, Italy
    089-812050

    Known For

    • Friendly staff guides you through the menu and the history
    • One of the best scialatielli di scoglio (classic seafood pastas) around
    • Delizia di limone dessert

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: Closed Nov.–Dec. 26 and Jan. and Feb.
  • 4. A' Paranza

    $$

    Atrani's most reliable option (since 1986), where each day's fare depends entirely on the seafood catch, is an intimate place on the main walkway at the back of the piazza. White coved ceilings and immaculate linens are offset by a colorful naive-art mural of fishermen mending paranze (trawler nets). The tasting menu—antipasti ranging from marinated tuna to fried rice balls, with a helping of pasta and risotto, followed by a choice of dessert—is recommended, but if that sounds like too much, go for the scialatielli ai frutti di mare. Whatever you choose, leave room for the divine cakes.

    Via Dragone 1/2, Atrani, Campania, 84010, Italy
    089-871840

  • 5. Acqua Pazza

    $$

    Locals along this part of the coast rave about this tiny restaurant a short stroll up from the harbor. The environment is modest—a spare interior with a few tables—but the seafood served is remarkably fresh.

  • 6. Al Convento

    $$

    Occupying part of a former convent, this restaurant opened in the 1960s receives glowing reviews for its varied and tasty preparations involving anchovies. For the adventurous there are dishes such as spaghetti con colatura (with a modern version of garum); less adventurous types can try one of the excellent pizzas made in a wood-fired oven. Book a terrace table or take a pew under the soaring arches and faded frescoes.

  • 7. Alfonso a Mare

    $$$

    A landmark restaurant and hotel nestled in the Marina di Praia cove, Alfonso a Mare occupies a rustic flagstone structure that once was a dry haul for boats. Noteworthy menu options include the antipasti, the freshly caught fish, and the seafood pastas. Outside, colorful boats, peasant dwellings, and the chasm's sheer rock walls catch the eye.

  • 8. Andrea Pansa

    $

    Amalfi's historic pasticceria is famed for its candied fruits and assortment of tempting Neapolitan pastries. If you have no time to linger and indulge at their piazza tables, order at the bar for a cheaper stand-up coffee and sflogliatella  pastry fix.

    Piazza Duomo 40, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy
    089-871065

    Known For

    • Historic facade and interiors on Piazza Duomo
    • Delizia di limone cake
    • Excellent but pricey
  • 9. Bacco

    $$

    Opened in 1930, this longtime favorite named for the Greek god of wine is, appropriately, run by the Cuomo wine family. The terrace has one of the coast's of the best views, and the menu features simple but delicious mountain and sea fare, including ferrazzuoli alla Nannarella (named after actress Anna Magnani, a past patron, and featuring fresh pasta with tomatoes, tuna, swordfish, and pine nuts) and vermicelli cu o' pesce fujuto, a dish with no fish despite its moniker (the flavor of the local tomatoes provides the piscine parfumo).

    Via Giambattista Lama 9, Furore, Campania, 84010, Italy

  • 10. Bar Internazionale

    $

    More than just a place to wait for the bus—it's at the main SITA Chiesa Nuova bus stop—Bar Internazionale is a meeting place for locals and visitors alike, a happy spot where you can read newspapers from several countries while nursing a creamy cappuccino. Many visitors only experience Positano in a tourism bubble, so this is good spot to mingle with working positanesi.

    Via G. Marconi 306, Positano, Campania, 84017, Italy
    089-875434

    Known For

    • Good coffee
    • Local hangout
    • Nice vibe
  • 11. Cala Gavitella

    $$$

    Reaching this beach club might take some effort—by boat or steep steps—but the seaside views, warm welcome, and simple but incredibly fresh seafood dishes are just rewards. By day, it's an enchanting spot for lunch or quick bites between dips; on summer evenings, there's often live music.

    Via Gavitella 1, Praiano, Campania, 84010, Italy
    350-5821514

    Known For

    • Locally caught seafood including totano (meaty mollusco)
    • Secluded, all-day sunbathing and swimming
    • Friendly and gregarious staff
  • 12. Chez Black

    $$$

    Although it caters to day-tripping coachloads, this nautically themed restaurant, whose waiters wear sailor uniforms, is a local institution that's hard to beat for its sceney location right on the Spiaggia Grande. The people-watching is good (Denzel Washington is reportedly a regular), and the friendly staff is happy to guide you through specialties such as zuppa di pesce (fish soup) and spaghetti con ricci di mare (spaghetti with sea urchins).

    Via del Brigantino 19, Positano, Campania, 84017, Italy

    Rate Includes: Closed Nov.–Feb.
  • 13. Da Adolfo

    $$

    On a little beach where pirates once built and launched boats (the pirates are long gone, but their descendants now operate a free ferry to and from Positano every half hour in the morning), this laid-back trattoria has long been a favorite. Sit on the wooden terrace beneath a straw canopy to enjoy totani con patate (squid and potatoes with garlic and oil), then sip white wine with peaches until sundown. Da Adolfo gets busy, so ask your hotel to book a table for you: personal reservations are often not honored.

  • 14. Da Gemma

    $$$

    Diners in the know have sung the praises of this understated landmark since 1872. Imaginative sauces turn plates of risotto and paccheri pasta into one-off culinary experiences; tile floors, white tablecloths, and a terrace set above the main street create a soothing ambience.

    Via Fra Gerardo Sasso 9, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy
    089-871345

    Known For

    • Freshest sea and mountain produce
    • Signature feast fish soup to end all fish soups
    • Novel risotto and pasta dishes
  • 15. Da Vincenzo

    $$

    Established in 1958, this family-run place pairs generations of tradition and genuine love of hospitality with ever-evolving innovation, reflected in the exceptional takes on classic Neapolitan dishes and the stylish, up-to-date yet rustic decor. Expect a truly warm welcome and a menu with both sea and robust land mainstays such as grilled octopus, shoulder of lamb, and eggplant Parmesan.

  • 16. Eolo

    $$$

    Run by the owners of the Marina Riviera hotel, Eolo is one of the Amalfi Coast's most sophisticated restaurants, with fantastic views to match. The decor is calming if slightly unusual—with white-cove ceilings, Romanesque columns, mounted starfish—and many of the dishes are adorned with blossoms and other visual allures. Nothing, though, compares to the view of Amalfi's harbor from one of the tables in Eolo's picture-window alcove. If you don't land one of these, don't fret—the entire room is pretty enough as it is.

    Via Pantaleone Comite 3, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy
    089-871241

  • 17. Giardini Caffè Calce

    $

    Right on Piazza Duomo, this café is a popular pit-stop for coffee, sfogliatelle pastries, and ice cream, as well as simple pasta dishes, salads, and pizze. With an alfresco area and three guest rooms, this is a favorite of locals and visitors alike.

    Via Wagner 3, Ravello, Campania, 84010, Italy
    329-9756500-mobile

    Known For

    • Good for a leisurely snack
    • Tranquil garden and covered area
    • Haven from the piazza throng
  • 18. Il Ritrovo

    $$

    In the tiny town square of Montepertuso, 1,500 feet up the mountainside from Positano (call for the free shuttle service to and from), the Ritrovo has been noted for its cucina for more than 20 years. The menu showcases food from both the sea and the hills: try the scialatielli ai frutti di mare accompanied by well-grilled vegetables; the house specialty zuppa saracena, a paella-like affair brimming with assorted seafood; and the lemon tiramisu, perhaps paired with one of 80 different kinds of a homemade liqueur, including carob and chamomile options.

    Via Montepertuso 77, Montepertuso, Campania, 84017, Italy
    089-812005

    Rate Includes: Closed mid-Jan.–mid-Feb.
  • 19. La Cambusa

    $$$

    Two bronze lions flanking the steps hint at a refined restaurant experience. Indeed, in its light-filled dining room or on its intimate terrace, La Cambusa serves lighter, more elegant seafood dishes (linguine with mussels and fish with potatoes and tomato sauce are favorites) than its "pack-em-in" Spiaggia Grande neighbors. However, you are still paying extra for its superb position. 

    Piazza Amerigo Vespucci 4, Positano, Campania, 84017, Italy
    089-875432

  • 20. La Caravella

    $$$$

    Opened in 1959 and southern Italy's first restaurant to earn a Michelin star (in 1966), this atmospheric place—graced with frescoes, marble floors, vibrant ceramics, and fresh flowers—once had a gilded guest list that included Andy Warhol and Federico Fellini. The menu maintains dishes favored 50 years ago (picture slices of fish grilled in lemon leaves marinated with an almond and wild fennel sauce); there's also a tasting menu, but don't miss the antipasti.

    Via Matteo Camera 12, Amalfi, Campania, 84011, Italy
    089-871029

    Known For

    • The Mezzogiorno's pioneering fine-dining eatery
