Il Gozzo In Salerno

Delicious dinner, excellent food, courteous and attentive staff. The dishes are original and beautifully presented, and the price is absolutely in line with the excellent quality of the food. I highly recommend it.

Il Gozzo Cucina e Cantina – The day Salerno Adopted Us We live in California but we’re from Mexico and my wife from Guatemala, this is our first time ever in Salerno. After a long travel day we were starving and clueless, just walking when the smell of garlic and the sea lured us down Via Porto. We saw a tiny place glowing warmly, and thought, “let’s try here.” We had no idea we’d just walked into the best meal of our trip in Italy. What followed was pure happiness on plates: - **Zuppa di lupini** (vongole veraci): dozens of tiny clams popping open in a broth of seawater, garlic, parsley and a serious kick of peperoncino. It tasted like if the Amalfi Coast and our Pacific beaches had a baby. We almost cried from joy and nostalgia. - **Linguine con pesto di broccoli e guanciale**: the most beautiful emerald-green sauce, silky and full of flavor, tossed with perfect pasta and showered with crispy, smoky guanciale. Comfort food that hugged the soul. - **Spaghetti alla ’nduja**: Rosella warned us with a wink, “This one fights back.” A silky, fiery sauce of melted Calabrian ’nduja that coated every strand and delivered a glorious, slow-burning heat. Two Latinos raised on habaneros and chile de árbol were in heaven shouting “¡está perfecto!” between bites. She paired everything with a bottle a 2020 Zenato Valpolicella Classico (bright cherry, soft spice, the perfect firefighter for the chilli). We finished every clam, every strand of pasta, and every drop of that gorgeous wine. By the time we left, Bruno had come out of the kitchen to high-five us for surviving the ’nduja. We walked in as two exhausted strangers. We walked out with Italian friends, burning lips, and the happiest hearts. Bruno & Rosella, thank you for the food, the fire, and the love. Salerno feels like home now because of you. We’ll be back again tomorrow to try another one of your delicious meals. 10/10 – life-changing accidental discovery. Nos vemos pronto ❤️🔥 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇬🇹🇮🇹 Il Gozzo Cucina e Cantina Via Porto 41, Salerno Oscar y Corina

This place was recommended to us and we left very satisfied. Small but very interesting menu and a great atmosphere.

Excellent food & wine. Nice people

Lunch at Gozzo, right in the historic center of Salerno. A unique atmosphere amidst historic buildings and excellent food, especially the tuna genovese: top notch! A delightful discovery, we'll definitely be back.

Excellent restaurant in the city center. Refined, top-quality dishes, both appetizers and first courses (I didn't try the main courses). The wine selection is varied. Attentive and friendly staff. Recommended

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. I did the 3 course tasting menu and delightfully received delicious foods I wouldn’t have known to order. Chef’s choice. Great value for the quality.

Good pasta alla nerano, efficient service

The place is very nice. The dishes are good, although the prices are a bit high for the city. The mixed grill, at €28.00, was, I must say, not a good value for the money. The first courses were more generous.

By far, my favorite restaurant in Salerno. The waiters were kind and delightful, and the food was exquisite. At Gozzo, I had the most delicious fish-based first course I've ever tasted. Excellent value. The atmosphere is peaceful and modern: perfect for enjoying the food. This restaurant is also one of the reasons I want to return to Salerno. Greetings from Zagreb, looking forward to reliving the gastronomic experience of last June.
