Historic, maritime, sunhurried and citrus-bright

Amalfi Town

A former maritime republic whose harbour kitchens still cook the day's catch under the scent of its own lemons.

Amalfi was a maritime republic before it was a postcard, and its kitchens still carry that history of trade and the sea. La Caravella, the coast's quiet pioneer, has been plating fish with citrus and serving an encyclopaedic cellar since the days when fine dining here was unheard of. Down by the harbour, Marina Grande and Eolo work the catch of the day with a view of the boats, while Trattoria Da Gemma anchors the old town with the kind of cooking locals have trusted for over a century. Lemons run through everything here, from the scialatielli to the sfusato that perfumes the desserts and the limoncello poured at the end.
