2 Best Restaurants in Atrani, Amalfi Coast

Atrani's most reliable option (since 1986), where each day's fare depends entirely on the seafood catch, is an intimate place on the main walkway at the back of the piazza. White coved ceilings and immaculate linens are offset by a colorful naive-art mural of fishermen mending paranze (trawler nets). The tasting menu—antipasti ranging from marinated tuna to fried rice balls, with a helping of pasta and risotto, followed by a choice of dessert—is recommended, but if that sounds like too much, go for the scialatielli ai frutti di mare. Whatever you choose, leave room for the divine cakes.

Under the old fishermen's arches of Atrani you can choose from an extensive menu that features great-value seafood scialatielli, paccheri, and other primi as well as 20-odd wood-fired pizza options. Get a table on the large beach-view terrace to lean over and see where your meal came from.
