The best restaurants in Amalfi are located on the main city square near the Cathedral of Saint Andrew the Apostle. It is worth noting that both budget and upscale restaurants in Amalfi offer a local specialty on their wine list — limoncello liqueur, as the resort region is known for cultivating large lemons.
Amalfi's restaurants serve tourists with first courses, fried meat with tomatoes, garlic, and oregano, pork sausages with various sauces, crepes with soft cheeses, cod with potatoes, mackerel in onion sauce, stuffed squid, and eel. Travelers who prefer quiet and cozy cafés in Amalfi should explore the narrow streets behind the main square and cathedral. Prices in restaurants outside the central area range from 25 to 30 EUR for lunch.
Cafés in Amalfi also offer tourists a special "menu turistico", where for 18 EUR you can get a large portion of pasta with sauce, fish, and fruit. Lunch in upscale restaurants in Amalfi ranges between 35 and 75 EUR. On average, a lunch with wine will cost around 25 EUR per person. Additionally, there are many small cafés around the resort town where you can enjoy coffee with a piece of cake or order ice cream.
