Don Alfonso 1890 Amalfi Coast

Don Alfonso 1890 sits on Corso Sant’Agata, a ten-minute drive from the bustle of Piazza Tasso. It holds a Michelin star and is ranked no. 15 among the best in Italy by 50 Top Italy. The room runs smart, leaning into the Mediterranean aesthetic with a menu that uses local seafood.

This is not the place to chase the water-level settings near Marina Grande. While the coast offers plenty of crowded, seaside venues, choosing this address means trading the tourist heat for a disciplined, quiet intensity. The kitchen uses ingredients from the nearby Sorrentine peninsula, producing a result far more precise than the typical, sprawling seafood menus found closer to the Bagni della Regina Giovanna. You go here for the focus, which is easier to appreciate when you are tucked away from the coastal throngs.
