Traditional dishes of the Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is renowned not only for its breathtaking views but also for its rich culinary tradition. This region is famous for its use of fresh, local ingredients that reflect the essence of the Mediterranean. From vegetables grown on terraced hillsides to Amalfi lemons and freshly caught fish, the cuisine of the Amalfi Coast is a celebration of authentic flavors.

Main Dishes

One of the most iconic dishes of the Amalfi Coast is spaghetti alle vongole, a simple yet flavorful dish made with fresh clams, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and parsley. This dish perfectly represents the local cuisine: light, fresh, and rich in marine flavors.

Another iconic dish is scialatielli ai frutti di mare, a fresh pasta typical of the area, often served with a variety of shellfish and crustaceans. The pasta is handmade, giving it a unique texture and taste.

Lemons and Typical Desserts

Amalfi lemons, famous worldwide, are used in many local recipes. Limoncello, a digestive liqueur made from lemon peel, is perhaps the most famous product. In addition to limoncello, lemons are used to make delizia al limone, a soft and creamy dessert with a strong citrus flavor, and other delights like lemon granita.

Fish and Seafood

As a coastal area, fresh fish is an essential component of Amalfi cuisine. From marinated anchovies to stuffed squid, and fish cooked in acqua pazza, each dish highlights the quality of the local catch. The fish is often prepared simply to preserve its fresh, natural flavor.

Local Products

It’s not just about fish: the Amalfi Coast is also known for its agricultural products like piennolo tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil, both widely used in local recipes. Local cheese, such as provolone del Monaco, is another star of the cuisine, often paired with local white wines like Falanghina and Fiano di Avellino.
