The Top 22 Restaurants Near Perbacco
-
Rank 1. Perbacco
Campanian Italian
-
Rank 2. Angiolina
Campanian Italian
-
Rank 3. Alessandro Feo
Campanian Italian
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.
-
Rank 4. La Chioccia d'Oro
Campanian Italian
-
Rank 5. Aquadulcis
Cilento Italian
-
A four-hectare farm in the Cilento hills supplies most of what this artisan pastry shop turns into chocolate. The team grows their own ingredients, then sources obsessively for the rest, blending cacao into pralines perfumed with mountain oregano or wild violets steeped in cream. The panettone ferments in three stages and lands fragrant and barely sweet. Ranked among Italy's top praline makers by 50 Top Italy, which also named it Pastry Shop of the Year.
-
Rank 7. Osteria 1861
Modern Mediterranean
-
Rank 8. Le Trabe
Campanian Italian
The restaurant sits on the Capodifiume estate, where the source of the Trabe river runs alongside a working hydroelectric station that powers the whole property. Aperitifs start in the wine cellar before dinner moves to an elegant dining room built around seasonal Campanian cooking, holding a Michelin star. Two tasting menus draw on the region's larder, and the sommelier runs the floor with the kind of attention that makes a long dinner feel effortless.
-
Rank 9. Tre Olivi
Campanian Italian
The kitchen garden behind the Savoy Beach Hotel supplies much of what lands on your plate here, a Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant where the chef's tasting menus read as a love letter to the Cilento coast. The cooking is contemporary but rooted, with Mediterranean flavors shaped by what's growing that week. Sommelier Roberto steers the wine, and the service is the attentive, quietly professional kind that doesn't hover.
-
Rank 10. Club Morera
Contemporary Italian
A centuries-old olive grove frames this rustic farmhouse restaurant tucked into the Mediterranean scrub above the Cilento coast. Stone walls and heavy beams set the room, and a small terrace opens things up in summer. The cooking is regional but updated, the kind of place where the wine list runs deep and the pasta is the main event. Quiet enough to feel like a secret, far enough from the highway to mean it.
-
Rank 11. Da Nonna Sceppa
Campanian Italian
-
Rank 12. Taverna Rovita
Southern Italian
A kitchen dating back centuries anchors this old-school tavern a short walk from Maratea's main square, its walls dressed in Vietri ceramics and its shelves stacked with around 400 wine labels, many from small Italian producers and France. The chef leans into local cooking, including a stewed octopus that regulars know by name. Small parties of six can eat in the wine cellar among bottles that collectors would eye with envy.
-
Rank 13. L'Aia dei Cappellani
Italian
-
Rank 14. Il Papavero
Campanian Italian
Jasmine overhead when the weather turns, a palazzo address in the town center, and a kitchen with a Michelin star that still calls its own cooking good value. Il Papavero is a modern Campanian restaurant where the menu leans heavily on fish and seafood, with the surrounding countryside filling in the gaps. Dishes stay close to what the menu actually promises, a short list of ingredients allowed to be themselves.
-
Rank 15. Qcècè SocialCafè
Calabrian
A sandwich shop and wine bar on the main square of a small Calabrian coastal town, where the menu changes often enough that locals have a reason to keep coming back. The fillings lean hard into regional pantry staples, capocollo, caciocavallo, and 'nduja tucked into house-made pitta or ciabatta, with vegetables that track the season. The sandwiches even have names worth reading. Ranked seventh on 50 Top Italy's Best Sandwiches list.
-
Rank 16. Cinque Foglie
Modern Italian
-
Rank 17. Volta del Fuenti by Michele De Blasio
Modern Italian
Perched on a cliff above the Bay of Salerno, this Michelin-starred dining room sits inside the Giardini del Fuenti hotel complex and opens only at lunch, which somehow makes it feel like a secret. Chef Michele De Blasio works through two tasting menus and an à la carte, reinterpreting Campanian classics in a minimalist, quietly ambitious register. The windows are large, the bay is very present, and the welcome snacks alone justify arriving hungry.
-
Rank 18. Al Convento - Casa Torrente
Mediterranean
Cetara is anchovy country, and this Bib Gourmand osteria on the village's small square takes the local obsession seriously. The frescoed room got a contemporary refresh but still feels unhurried, and the terrace tables face the piazza in the way that makes you order another carafe just to stay. Fried anchovies stuffed with smoked provolone make a strong case for the neighborhood specialty, with grilled fish, pasta, and a dry-ageing cabinet rounding out a menu that rarely leaves the sea.

-
Mormanno lentils have been simmering in this kitchen long enough to become a local shorthand for the town itself. Osteria del Vicolo is a family-run trattoria tucked into the old village center, where one generation cooks a deeply Calabrian peasant tradition and another works the room with the warmth of someone who knows every story behind every dish. The room is small and unhurried, and the ingredients rarely travel far.
-
Rank 20. Da Peppe
Basilicata Italian
-
Rank 21. Taverna Centomani
Italian
A rural trattoria outside Potenza where the farm supplies the cheese and the menu reads like a plea for Sunday to last a little longer. The kitchen recovers old Basilicata recipes without fuss or theater, so the lamb comes marinated and slow-baked the way it always has, and the pasta dough is still made by hand. A small cellar leans local. The room is calm in a way that feels intentional rather than sleepy.

Rank 22. Hydra
Contemporary Mediterranean
