The Top 83 Places to Eat Near Alessandro Feo

Stone vaulting from an old monastery frames the dining room at this seafood-forward restaurant on the Marina di Casal Velino promenade. The chef grows some of his own produce and, on occasion, catches his own fish, which is either admirably dedicated or quietly unhinged depending on your point of view. The cooking pulls from Campanian tradition and bends it with a personal touch, making it the most ambitious table on a stretch of coast that doesn't have many.

A Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Casal Velino Marina by a chef who built his name in the States before bringing it home.

Local Cilento ingredients mix with ideas carried back from America. The fried starters hold up, the drinks list is unfussy, and the front of house runs warm without trying too hard.

The name comes from a Cilento dialect word for homemade tomato extract, which tells you everything about where this pizzeria's loyalties lie. Tomatoes run through the whole menu, from the appetizers to the pies, with the local Cilentana topping hers with cooked sauce and goat cacioricotta. The crust spreads thin and wide, leaning crispy, and lands lighter than it looks. The room is bright and a little colorful, the oven is in plain sight, and the service is warm without being fussy.

A Michelin-starred dining room on the Amalfi Coast that has been feeding famous visitors since before it was fashionable to care about Campanian cuisine. The kitchen leans hard into local tradition, fresh pezzogna and swordfish, Amalfi lemons, and tomatoes appearing in nearly half the dishes. The sommelier, Tonino, has a reputation for finding exactly the right bottle from a list that runs from La Tâche to obscure organic rarities nobody else stocks.

1. Michelin Guide 1 Star

Perched above the sea inside the Santa Caterina hotel, this fine-dining restaurant earns its Michelin star with a menu that's rooted in Campanian flavors but clearly restless. The chef spent years in California, Australia, Asia, and elsewhere, and those miles show in the cooking without overwhelming it. The Amalfi Coast backdrop does a lot of the work, and the kitchen doesn't need to compete with it.

A terrace carved into the cliffside of a former monastery, looking out over the Amalfi Coast to the sea, is the setting for this Michelin-starred dining room at Monastero Santa Rosa. The chef's guiding principle, that simplicity is the hardest thing to get right, shapes a menu of Campanian classics reinterpreted with restraint. Vegetables come from the property's own garden, and the cooking leans on generous local flavour rather than elaboration.

Dinner opens in the garden below the terrace with a flute of champagne and imaginative finger food on hand-painted ceramic ware, before you move upstairs to one of the most dramatic views on the Amalfi Coast.

The squid soup with nduja and potato mousse is the dish the kitchen wants you to order, and it's a reasonable suggestion. This casual seafood bistro is the more affordable sibling of a smarter restaurant on Salerno's waterfront, same team and same obsession with freshness, just oily fish and local white prawns instead of oysters. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks: it's the kind of place that punches past its price point without making a fuss about it.

The family has fished these waters for four generations, and the menu at this tiny Cetara seafood spot makes no secret of it. Bluefin tuna, anchovies, and squid anchor the list, with colatura, the local anchovy sauce, turning up where you'd least expect it. Seating spills onto stools at a counter facing the sea or out to a small terrace. One dessert, a spumone from a nearby gelateria.
