Amalfi Coast

Where to eat in Amalfi Coast

Selected entries from the current guide for Amalfi Coast.

Glicine restaurant in Amalfi

Amalfi, Italy

Glicine

Glicine earns its Michelin star at the summit of Hotel Santa Caterina, where Campanian tradition and global technique meet above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Chef Giuseppe Stanzione's menu keeps the region's olives, tomatoes, and coastal fish at the centre, with Asian-inflected technique applied as accent rather than override. Ranked #380 in Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe list for 2024, it sits among the Amalfi Coast's most credentialled fine-dining addresses.

Amalfi, Italy
Al Convento - Casa Torrente restaurant in Cetara

Cetara, Italy

Al Convento - Casa Torrente

A Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised address in the small fishing village of Cetara, Al Convento - Casa Torrente serves Campanian seafood in a renovated frescoed dining room with a terrace overlooking the village square. Chef Gaetano Torrente's menu is anchored in local anchovy tradition, with dry-aged fish and pasta carrying the weight of the Amalfi Coast's most serious culinary heritage. Ranked #58 in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe list for 2024, it sits at the summit of Cetara's small but focused dining scene.

Cetara, Italy
La Sponda restaurant in Positano

Positano, Italy

La Sponda

La Sponda sits within Le Sirenuse, one of the Amalfi Coast's most prestigious hotels, and brings Campanian Mediterranean cooking to a candlelit dining room overlooking Positano's cliff-stacked houses. Chef Gennaro Russo draws on southern Italian seafood traditions, with dishes such as lemon risotto with capers anchoring a menu shaped by coastal Campania. Michelin Plate recognition and a 2025 Opinionated About Dining ranking of #278 in Classical Europe confirm its position among the coast's serious dining addresses.

Positano, Italy

Casa Angelina hotel in Praiano

Praiano, Italy

Casa Angelina

On the cliffs above Praiano, Casa Angelina sits eight kilometres from Positano and answers a specific question about the Amalfi Coast: can modernist design coexist with one of Europe's most baroque coastlines? Across 36 rooms finished in white-on-white minimalism, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and a beach accessible only by elevator and steps, it makes a disciplined case that it can. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World since 2022, it operates April through October.

Praiano, Italy
Hotel La Palma Capri, an Oetker Collection Hotel hotel in Capri

Capri, Italy

Hotel La Palma Capri, an Oetker Collection Hotel

Capri's oldest hotel, founded in 1822 and now part of the Oetker Collection, sits steps from the Piazzetta with 50 rooms, three dining outlets, a private beach club, and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the village rooftops and sea. The recent renovation by designer Francis Sultana channels the island's 1950s jet-set character through a restrained Mediterranean palette. This is the address for guests who want the island's social centre within walking distance of everything.

Capri, Italy
Furore Grand Hotel hotel in Furore

Furore, Italy

Furore Grand Hotel

On a clifftop promontory above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Furore Grand Hotel occupies one of the Amalfi Coast's most dramatic positions. Marble-white terraces give way to tiered gardens that descend toward the water, framing views that shift between open sea and the fractured limestone cliffs characteristic of this stretch of coastline. For travellers who want the Amalfi experience without anchoring to the coast's more trafficked centres, Furore is a considered address.

Furore, Italy
Ara Maris hotel in Sorrento

Sorrento, Italy

Ara Maris

At Via Correale 15, Ara Maris occupies a considered position in Sorrento's upper accommodation tier: 49 rooms framed by marble, curated fabrics, and a design language that draws from the Mediterranean's visual grammar rather than generic coastal luxury. The property positions itself at the intersection of Italian material craft and environmental consciousness, making it a counterpoint to the cliff-top grand hotels that have long defined the town's prestige skyline.

Sorrento, Italy
Hotel Caesar Augustus hotel in Capri

Capri, Italy

Hotel Caesar Augustus

Perched a thousand feet above the Bay of Naples on Capri's western cliffside, Hotel Caesar Augustus is a Relais and Chateaux property with 55 individually appointed rooms and near-unobstructed views across to Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento, and Ischia. A 2026 Star Wine List award confirms the quality of its beverage program. The combination of cliff-edge dining, a celebrated infinity pool, and an organic kitchen garden makes it one of the island's most distinctive addresses.

Capri, Italy
Villa Marina Capri hotel in Capri

Capri, Italy

Villa Marina Capri

At Marina Grande, the point where the hydrofoil docks and Capri begins, Villa Marina sits with 22 rooms positioned directly on the harbour. The property occupies a tier between the island's grand palazzo hotels and its smaller boutique options, offering guests immediate waterfront access before the crowds climb toward the piazzetta. For those who want to arrive, settle, and watch the ferries without ascending a single step, it delivers a specific and hard-to-replicate vantage point.
