I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Salerno

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!

09/04/2026: We had an amazing meal at the restaurant. We received a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint! The restaurant arranged transportation to and from our Villa and worked to accommodate a gluten allergy. The staff was amazing and the food was a great way to cap off a trip to Italy. Would highly recommend! We had a mix of starters and everyone had great portions for the main courses and the desserts capped off a great night.

20/12/2025: Limited flexibility in editing the food items which is standard in italy but they were very kind to us as we are vegetarian. They made us Gnocchi sorrentino and it was the best italian dish I may have had in my whole life. Ate it twice in a 3-4 day stay in positano. Honestly if you are vegetarian the dish will not disappoint it is hands down created for the gods. So fantastic! The tomato sauce and the basil really shine through the dish, it is truly something special! Beautiful family! Cheers to the chef making such an extraordinary dish, yet so simple. I refuse to eat Gnocchi anywhere else because I don’t want to be disappointed. Truly hand crafted!

05/01/2026: Very good food and service, I recommend it

16/10/2025: Had a chance to dine in this restaurant during our stay in the Cetus hotel. Atmosphere was nice and cozy, the service from the staff was excellent and professional, food was fresh and beautifully combined ingredients. We also got offered some light bites and sparkling wine. Highly recommend!

25/01/2026: Excellent little place for drinks and food. We had the truffle meat board - everything on it was delicious! The man/owner serving us was also very pleasant. Would recommend!

04/01/2026: A truly unique place. Delicious food and truly friendly staff.

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.

06/04/2026: We had lunch at Easter, and everything was excellent. The à la carte menu didn't require a fixed menu, and included pizza for lunch! Wonderful legume soups, handmade pasta dishes, and flavorful meats! The boiled potato was a must-try as an entree, topped with the three exceptionally flavorful olive oils from the mill! Rustic atmosphere, a few playthings for the little ones, and free parking for everyone! We'll definitely be back!

25/03/2026: The atmosphere is characterized by kind, cheerful, attentive, and friendly staff, always ready to discuss and provide information. Three of us were having lunch with friends and family, en route to the capital after being in Lucania for the referendum vote. Our first courses: Gragnano "candelle" with grandma's ragù and fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, simply excellent, perfectly cooked and generously portioned. Next up was a highly successful second course: chicken "scuppiettat" with a side of potatoes in their skins! We didn't try the "panuozzo," which I'm sure must have been a delight...next time! Reasonably priced for the quality/price ratio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Located near the Salerno-Rome highway exit (Mercato San Severino).

22/03/2026: Excellent food, kind and knowledgeable staff.

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.

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!

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.

29/03/2026: Very welcoming... very kind staff... excellent food... excellent prices... I will return... thanks to all the staff...

11/02/2026: Authentic flavours in a family atmosphere, excellent value for money

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

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

28/12/2025: Location: 2/5 An '80s-style restaurant in the Salerno hills. Welcoming and homey, but decidedly out of the way. Menu: 4/5 Good seafood selection, varied and high-quality, carefully prepared. Service: 4/5 Attentive, professional, and efficient, even with large tables. Bill: 4/5 Excellent value for money.

14/12/2025: A lovely evening in a quiet setting. The kitchen was well-organized. Everything was delicious. Antonio gave a warm welcome. Excellent service.

28/03/2026: Excellent delicatessen and hot food outlet where you can find reasonably priced first courses, second courses, side dishes or sandwiches that you can also eat on the premises, ample parking and very helpful and friendly staff

27/02/2026: A must-see for over 20 years, a must-see when heading towards Cilento.

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.

19/03/2026: Nice place, well-kept and with an excellent selection

19/03/2026: The service was very good, but the carbonara was even better. Without a doubt, the best I've ever had (and I've had quite a few). A 10 out of 10!
