I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Salerno

06/05/2026: Delicious pasta and seafood. A charming place in a quiet little square in Atrani. A great escape from the hustle and bustle, crowds, and overrated Amalfi. The best food of our six-day stay between Puglia and Amalfi.

05/05/2026: I’ve been to the best-rated, most famous restaurants in Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast towns during my Italy trip, but this is truly the best meal I had in two weeks. The seafood carbonara was the best pasta I’ve ever had, and the scampi risotto was cooked perfectly. The house white wine was so good that we asked to take a photo of it. The service was excellent and accommodating, even though the staff were mostly very Italian! Also, the prices were so affordable I couldn't believe I was on the coast. I wish I could stay in Amalfi longer so that I could come here again. There were so many Koreans in Amalfi, but for some reason, there wasn't a single one here… It’s only a 10-minute walk from Amalfi with no stairs, so please, please make sure to visit. It was the most delicious meal I had in Italy.

05/12/2025: We were guests at Hotel Poseidon and made a reservation at Il Tridente expecting a safe, professional dining experience. Instead, my family endured an incident that could have killed my son, paired with some of the worst behavior I have ever witnessed from a manager in hospitality. We clearly informed the staff that my son has a nut allergy. Despite this, they placed a starter breadbasket on our table with no explanation whatsoever—and it contained nuts. My son took a bite, unknowingly. Only 20 minutes later did a waiter return with a “nut-free” basket and admit the first one had nuts. We had not been told, warned, or advised at any point. I raced up the entire property—multiple elevators and several flights of stairs—to grab his emergency medication. Anyone familiar with allergies knows that within minutes, this mistake could have become deadly. My son’s life was put at risk because the staff failed one of the most basic responsibilities of a restaurant. But what made this experience truly appalling was the manager. His behavior was not just unprofessional—it was shockingly rude, dismissive, defensive, and outright hostile. As I explained what had happened, he repeatedly cut me off, raised his voice, and insisted his staff “would never” make such an error. He acted as if I was the problem for daring to bring up a life-threatening mistake. The waiter himself then stepped in and admitted the truth, proving the manager wrong. Even after being confronted with the facts, the manager still showed zero remorse. No apology. No concern. No accountability. Not even basic human decency while I was shaking and trying to ensure my son was safe. His attitude added a level of emotional distress that was completely unnecessary during an already terrifying situation. For a restaurant positioned as fine dining, this was an absolute disgrace. Mistakes can happen—but the way management chooses to handle them reveals everything about an establishment. And this manager showed a level of arrogance and indifference that is completely unacceptable in any setting, let alone one where guests’ lives are at stake. I will never return, and I strongly warn any family with food allergies—or anyone who expects even minimal respect or compassion—to avoid this restaurant entirely. No parent should have to fight with a manager while fearing for their child’s safety.

05/12/2025: Best place on our stop to Postitano. Great views, food and service! Get ready for an uphill hike, we were gassed! But it was well worth it!

10/04/2026: The best hidden gem in Salerno! I came for the aperitivo (vegetarian for me) but stayed for dinner (the best melanzane parmigiana of my life)

28/03/2026: Really nice! It was late, and we were worried there wouldn't be anyone available to serve us. Instead, they were very friendly, the meats and cheeses were excellent, and the toasted bread was delicious. The staff was friendly, and, most importantly, the playlist was spot on! We'll be back!

21/04/2026: We hadn't booked. Even though it was full, they kindly let us have dinner, everything was very good, the service was excellent, congratulations.

06/04/2026: For my first time there, I didn't go all out with 5 stars for everything. But, as the granddaughter of a Cilentan grandmother, I think I can say that the fusilli with mutton sauce deserves full marks.

20/04/2026: Heaven, only the fried seafood left a little to be desired, but otherwise everything was perfect. From the welcome dishes to the atmosphere and, finally, the welcome, it was perfect. Thank you, we'll definitely be back.

06/04/2026: Beautiful place with a breathtaking view! Unfortunately, the starters didn't live up to our expectations, but the fried food was really good!

22/03/2026: A small, cute place in a beautiful location. Good traditional homemade cuisine and moderate prices.

02/11/2025: The restaurant was exactly what you'd expect in an Italian mountain village: good Italian cuisine prepared with creativity and imagination, accompanied by a good wine or even a beer. Since we were staying in the village, we ate there often and were never disappointed.

08/04/2026: The best restaurant in the area by far. Loved every dish we had. The octopus with potato was cooked to perfection, the scialatielli with seafood was amazing and the portion was generous, and the catch of the day was absolutely delicious (a bit pricey). The kids loved this place. The service was excellent. We had a little accident with our little one who threw up, and the owner was attentive and made the dining experience great despite the incident. This was the last meal we had in the area and it blew our minds. I wish we had tried it earlier. If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

08/04/2026: Hidden gem in a quiet street with big portions, good food and fair prices. Relaxed and unpretentious, it was a welcome respite from some of the hustle around the coast. No views but a pleasant atmosphere. Had crab and zucchini pasta with a beer—and it was a large portion! Would recommend to any in the area

13/04/2026: I'd never been here before and I was really impressed! Great experience! The quality of the food was truly excellent, everything was so fresh, and the fish was exceptional. You can really taste the care they put into choosing the ingredients. We'll definitely be back!

13/04/2026: Highly recommended restaurant! The quality of the dishes is top-notch, everything fresh and prepared with great care. The fish in particular was delicious; you could immediately taste the freshness and quality. Excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere. I always recommend it to everyone.

05/05/2026: Delicious food and great service :)

30/04/2026: Delicious !!! They were able to accommodate us inside without reservation ( I’m sure outside was great, but we took it since we were very hungry) great wine and the pizza was absolutely delicious ! I got the Napoli and my partner got the Diavola! Great to re charge some energy. The location is great, the town it’s a little confusing but that was the first route we took and that was the only restaurant on the way. Great choice!

07/10/2025: We went to dinner, and everything was good.

28/09/2025: Had a great experience. Got the lemon pasta, pizza and dessert. The lemon sponge was great and we got ricotta-stuffed pumpkin flower as a starter on the house as well as limoncello with the bill. Would recommend for dinner if you are staying in Scala, the staff was very kind and attentive.

05/05/2026: So nice place! Very quite, beautiful area. I would say hidden gem. There is very nice walking path along the beach next to the restaurant. Not expensive in comparison to others. Very friendly staff! We visited twice during one weekend:)

04/05/2026: Best stuffed peppers in the league 🤌

03/05/2026: A classic family-run restaurant where everything is authentic, both the food and the people. The pizza is also excellent. The view is practically a postcard.

30/04/2026: Great views and great food from a family run restaurant. They have a shuttle that will take you to and from the restaurant as well

05/04/2026: I was there last time and I told the chef that the food was delicious 🤤😋 and the atmosphere was beautiful

02/11/2025: A great little spot for dinner, cozy and inviting, you can feel the great attention to detail. All the products are genuine and locally sourced, and the fresh dishes are mouth-watering. Let Mrs. Enza advise you.

16/04/2026: The restaurant is welcoming with its modern shapes. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is very kind with you. I appreciated the possibility to see the kitchen, because there aren't walls or any kind of separation. The dishes are great and portions are correct for the price. The menu is not so full of dishes, but everyone of it needs to be tried once upon a time. I strongly recommend this restaurant, mostly if you want to spend an enjoyable evening with your friends or colleges.

16/04/2026: KING OF SPAGHETTI ! What fun to be back in beautiful Salerno ! My wife and I arrived here for a 6 day vacation on Thurs, March 27th after a long private limo drive from Florence. Martin our good friend and limo / tour driver dropped us off a short distance from our 4th floor Airbnb on Corso Vittorio Emanuele....the ( mostly ) pedestrian mall which runs the length of downtown Salerno. We intended to revisit most of the restaurants, cafes and gelato shops we loved during our 4 day visit here 18 months ago...and find some new ones ! In fact during dinner that first night at a very good pizzeria one of the staff suggested Al Dente to us...said it was very good. On Saturday we set off along the pedestrian mall and arrived here around 1.30pm to grab some lunch. THE PLACE WAS PACKED OUT ! As soon as we entered the eatery I ran into Mauro the very friendly manager who seated us at a table immediately...the only one in sight. GREAT VIBE ! Everywhere I looked I could see contented diners enjoying their spaghetti dishes. BEER ! Mauro was the right guy to talk to and brought me an ice cold Mastri Birra Umbri IPA with a tall stem glass straight off the bat. VERY SATISFYING ! This was an American style IPA - 6.5% abv and a pleasure to drink . FOOD ! There was an enormous selection on the menu. My wife ordered BACON AND EGG ( Fresh organic eggs, pecorino romano DOP, Norcia bacon, black pepper ) while I decided on TOMATO AND BACON ( Norcia bacon, San Marzano DOP tomato, Pecorino Romano DOP and black pepper ). POPULAR PLACE ! I noticed that every time a table was vacated it was taken straight away. FAST SERVICE ! Our beautiful looking dishes arrived faster than the bullet train. SPAGHETTI HEAVEN ! Our perfectly made meals tasted extraordinary...these guys have got it down to a fine art. We paid the bill and thanked Mauro the cool manager, Veronica & Giuseppe the kind servers....got selfies of course ! Without a doubt we would have come back again but we had a very full schedule ahead of us. ONE OF OUR BEST DINING EXPERIENCES IN ITALY !

06/05/2026: Good and plentiful food, very attentive and helpful staff.

26/04/2026: Beautiful place, and especially renowned. We booked, but couldn't get in because we had a small dog with us. They don't allow dogs. Too bad.
