15/01/2025: As part of our private tour, The Milky Mountains Route - Ravello - Lemon Tour Experience, we had the absolute pleasure of visiting a charming restaurant on the Amalfi Coast countryside. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a journey into the heart of Italian culture and cuisine, made unforgettable by the charismatic and humorous owner, Chefiore.
From the moment we arrived, Chefiore welcomed us with open arms and an infectious smile that immediately set the tone for an extraordinary experience. His charm and wit made us feel like we were reconnecting with an old friend.
The setting was picture-perfect, surrounded by verdant lemon groves and breathtaking views of the Amalfi countryside. It was the epitome of rustic elegance, with every detail adding to the authenticity of this hidden gem.
The meal itself was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the freshest local ingredients and the rich culinary traditions of the region. From velvety handmade pasta to the most flavorful lemon-infused seafood, every bite was a delight. Of course, the grand finale was their homemade limoncello, and here’s where the experience became truly magical.
Chefiore didn’t just serve us limoncello—he taught us how to make it! In a fun and engaging demonstration, he walked us through the process, sharing family secrets and tips while recounting delightful anecdotes about his life on the Amalfi Coast. Watching him peel fresh lemons straight from his grove and explain the infusion process made us appreciate this iconic drink even more. And when we finally sipped the limoncello, we could taste the passion and tradition in every drop.
This wasn’t just a meal; it was a celebration of Italian heritage, made unforgettable by the warm hospitality and boundless energy of Chefiore. If you’re planning a visit to the Amalfi Coast, this culinary gem is a must-experience destination. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s a memory that will stay with you forever!
08/12/2024: Le Bontà del Capo in Conca dei Marini was our favourite restaurant in Italy! The food was outstanding, the atmosphere incredible, and the views over Conca dei Marini were breathtaking. Antonio, the owner, and his team were fantastic, making us feel so welcome. As visitors from New Zealand, we couldn’t recommend it more!
Thanks for the wonderful hospitality- the kiwis
