The five dishes you must savor..

In the Amalfi Coast, food is far more than mere pleasure: it is a journey through the culture, tradition, and soul of a unique land. Each dish tells a story shaped by sea and hills, crafted from simple ingredients transformed with mastery, and by ancient gestures passed down through generations.

To savor Amalfi cuisine is to immerse yourself in its authenticity, where flavor and beauty meet in every bite.
Here are five unmissable specialties that capture the true spirit of this enchanted land better than any guide.

1. Totani e Patate
A dish rooted in tradition, born from the home cooking of coastal villages. The totani (squid) are cooked together with potatoes in a simple, fragrant sauce made from cherry tomatoes, garlic, and parsley. The result is a humble yet comforting dish with an authentic flavor, evoking memories of family dinners in seaside homes.

2. Linguine with Lobster
This dish represents the most refined side of seafood cuisine. Freshly caught lobster is cooked with cherry tomatoes from the Piennolo region, garlic, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, creating a sauce that is both intense and harmonious. The linguine, perfect for capturing the sauce, complete a preparation that marries elegance and flavor. A classic to be enjoyed at seafront restaurants, ideally accompanied by a glass of local white wine.

3. Spaghetti with Clams
An icon of Campanian cuisine, which on the Amalfi Coast reaches unparalleled excellence thanks to the extraordinary quality of its ingredients. Fresh verace clams are sautéed with oil, garlic, and a touch of chili pepper, without any embellishments. The dish is simple and light but releases the full aroma of the sea. A perfect choice for those who love Mediterranean cuisine in its purest form.

4. Raw Seafood Platter
Elegant, essential, precious. The raw seafood platter embodies the purest expression of Amalfi’s maritime cuisine. Oysters, scampi, red prawns, tuna or amberjack tartare, sea urchins: all served with just a few touches, such as high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a few drops of Amalfi lemon. This dish celebrates the absolute freshness of the local catch, best savored slowly while gazing out over the deep blue of the coast.

5. Limoncello Tiramisu
In the Amalfi Coast, the lemon is more than a fruit: it is a symbol of the territory. The limoncello tiramisu highlights its freshness and intensity, offering a citrusy and delicate twist on the famous Italian dessert. Ladyfingers are soaked in artisanal limoncello, made from the renowned Amalfi sfusato lemons, and layered with mascarpone cream and grated lemon zest.

The result is an aromatic dessert, ideal to conclude a summer lunch or dinner. These dishes are not just delights for the palate, but true sensory experiences that tell the soul of the Amalfi Coast. Whether you seek authentic flavors or unforgettable emotions, let the cuisine guide you: here, every bite is a taste of the Mediterranean.
