Le Grotte dell'Africana Amalfi Coast

Le Grotte dell'Africana is built directly into the rock face of the Amalfi Coast. This Italian restaurant serves Mediterranean seafood within a space carved into the cliffs above the water.

This is the only room on this stretch of coastline that feels like a sea cave rather than a dining hall built to mimic one. While the neighbouring trattorias rely on bright, sun-bleached terraces to capture the afternoon, this space trades the heat for the coolness of the stone. It is a necessary choice for those who prefer the depth of the sea to the glare of it, offering a stillness that the open-air venues nearby cannot provide.
