Sorrento is a popular choice of home base for exploring the Amalfi Coast! It claims great restaurants, beautiful views, and great day trip options without needing a car.

Amalfi Coast Dishes to Try

Being on the coast, the obvious thing to eat is seafood! The Amalfi Coast has some incredible fish & seafood dishes, so make sure to ask what's best that day! That being said, sometimes staff will laugh and say "everything's great, it was all caught this morning." Spoiled for choice, for sure.

🦐One classic seafood pasta is called gli scialatielli di Amalfitana - basically a noodle that's fatter and shorter than spaghetti, but in the family, and topped with all sorts of seafood! Usually, a few tomatoes are thrown in, but the focus is the mix of clams, mussels, calamari, and maybe shrimp.

🐚Other favorites are spaghetti alle vongole (with clams, in an olive oil & wine sauce) and risotto ai frutti di mare (packed with seafood, sometimes with tomato in the sauce)!

🍤For a quick lunch or main dish, my favorite it fritto misto - mixed fried seafood! You can get it at street corners in a paper cone, perfect for enjoying without leaving the beach.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Emma | Where's Emma Now

Available for hire

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
