Sounded amazing! It’s hard to not want to just take it all in while you are there. We are following your footsteps but at a slower timetable. We want to do one extended trip a year. We are headed to Iceland in a few months and then Norway.Amalfi

Hello, What a wonderful idea for travelling light but keeping memories. This week we are starting a four month journey through Italy and Croatia. I am stealing your idea for a weekly photo. Thank you!Amalfi

I’d love to travel more – it’s just not that simple though and there’s plenty of factors preventing me from doing it. But hopefully I’ll get to see everything I want to see! These are some pretty amazing benefits!

Hello!
First of all, I enjoy your blog – your photos are spectacular.
We were in Rome last spring and had two amazing meals – you need reservations for both places. Bon Appetit!

Da Felice
29 Via Mastro Giorgio
Rome , Italy http://www.feliceatestaccio.com/
39-06-574-6800
A cult-favorite trattoria where professors, market vendors, and young hipsters gather over platters of handmade pasta. The ricotta-and-spinach ravioli with cherry tomatoes and marjoram is cucina romana at its authentic best

Trattoria Monti
13 Via di San Vito
Rome , Italy
39-06-446-6573
Reservations are certainly needed at this brightly lit, 12-table trattoria located one block from the Piazza Vittorio. Brothers Enrico and Daniele Camerucci own and operate the dining room, while their mother controls the kitchen. Franca, or momma, as she is known to the locals, crafts cuisine inspired by the Le Marche region, including starters called tortinos (egg-based custards mixed with different vegetables and parmesan cheese). Though game like rabbit stuffed with truffles is available, the tortellone (one large ravioli stuffed with a runny egg yolk and topped with crispy sage and brown butter) is the house specialty.

Hi,

wow, is not so easy, to many places, where to start………I don’t know how many days you will stay in Italy, so I give my personal very short short list.

Luky you, I come from Naples, spent all the summer of my life in Capri, half of my family lives in Rome, and I love food!

Here we go……..

Rome

Restaurant

La Pergola – 3 michelin starts

Osteria la Gensola – Fish

Da Benito e Gilberto al falco – Fish

Flavio al velavevodetto – classic roman trattoria

Felice a testaccio – classic roman trattoria

Da Gigetto al portico d’ottavia – jewish ( best in mid season or winter )

Al Pompiere – Jewish ( best in mid season or winter )

DOM Hotel – The chef Max Mariola is very talented

The Corner Hotel – the Chef Fabio Baldassarri i salso vey talented

Giuda Ballerino- is out of the center but very good restaurant

Romeow Cat Bistro – veg restaurant I love it, you will love their chacke, The Chef patissery Romina is very talented too

Gelaterie:

Too many in Rome a salso in Milan, seems that every body wants only icecreem by now 😉

My best two:

Otaleg

Neve di Latte

Pizza:

in rome the pizza is coccked in the tray, is called Pizza al taglio or trancio.

The best ever in this art is Gabriele Bonci. Whow own Pizzarium, now we can call gourmet pizza and also not far from this there is the bakery, Panificio Bonci.

Must to go in both places.

Let’s go to see the market in Piazza Vittorio, is the ethnic district.

Capri ( what a jewell od our planet!!!!!)

L’olivo ed il Riccio – is the restaurant of the Capri Palace in Anacapri.

La Capannina – it’s a must since I was a kid – ask for the fried Ravioli capresi, you will died for this!

Paolino, you will eat in a garden full of lemon trees.

Go to dance and sing to Anema e Core

Sorrento

La Torre del Saracino – Vico Equense – 2 michelin stars – Gennaro Esposito is my favourite Italian Chef

Raki is the best Gelato in Sorrento

Nerano

Maria Grazia – she is the chef who invented the famous Spaghetti alla Nerano, one of the most faumous south summer dish. Very few can do in the right way this amazing pasta. Are spaghetti with zucchine, basil parmesan and secret ingredients 😉 I will tell you in private what is ;-)))))

The resturant is located on the bech of nerano

I Quattro Passi – 2 michelin star I guess

La taverna del capitano

Il Cantuccio

Positano

If you say Positano you can not immediately connect your mind to the San Pietro hotel, one of the most charming hotel of the world.

Have a drink or eat at Zass ( the restaurant) is an amazing experiece.

La Buca di Bacco, is a traditional restaurant , let’s say an ever green.

Cetara

Cetara is a small sailors village after Amalfi.

Is famous for the anchovys, and for the “Colatura di alci”. La colatura is the extract of the anchovies pressed salted and left few month in ceramic barrel , we call giare.

We use the colatura to oil the spaghetti, very tasty.

Minori

Pasticceria Sal De Riso, when you will try his cakes you will ask to lock you in and trow the key.

Amalfi

Sorrelle Rispoli, is an old trattoria ask fo the genovese ( my favourite dish before quit eating animal protein) and also pasta con le melanzane, gnammy.

I’m sorry this is a very quick short list. There are also a lot aof beautiful placec to visit, it’s a pity that you don’t jump in naples becuse is an amazing city 😉

By the way my doughter loves your bana pancake recipe.

Enjoy you trip!

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Amalfi town do the Amalfi Lemon Experience. Look it up on Trip Advisor. We did the tour and the cooking class for 130 Euro each. Worth every cent. It was the best day during our 3 week stay (which we have just gotten back from). Also if you want to get away from the crowds take the ferry from Amalfi to Maiori (3 Euro one way) It’s a great little town, more locals than tourists, lots of space to move about and easy to get to. We wished we had stayed there for a few days. Have the BEST time!

Hi! When in Rome: Gelateria Romana http://www.gelateriaromana.com/en/
Hands down, the best gelato in town.
We also loved the pasta and drinks at That’s Amore. Really cute restaurant near the Fontana di Trevi.
Amalfi is amazing: Hotels at Conca dei Marini beach have the best view, and Ravello (city up on the hills) is just sooo charming.
if you get the chance to go to Ischia island for a couple of days, do it.

Ooooh, lucky you! The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world! I strongly recommend you have dinner at Il Palazzo Murat in Positano. You dine in the courtyard amidst lush greenery and the food is delicious. The three times I’ve gone they had squash blossoms with a simple but lovely marinara sauce. Absolutely divine! You should also walk the 1700 stone step up from Positano to the little town of Monterpertuso. They views are unparalleled as you wander up through olive groves, and we had a lovely, incredibly fresh fish dish with a view of 100 miles. (The fish was like a bass with a mild puttanesca-like sauce.) Be sure to visit Ravello, too. I forget the name of the villa perched on the edge of the cliff, but the grounds are gorgeous, and you can take postcard perfect photos without trying.

Have a wonderful trip!
