Where to Eat

TRATTORIA DA RISPOLI – Via Riulo n. 3 -  Pogerola – Tel 089 830080
In the historical centre of Pogerola, part of Amalfi but feeling surprisingly remote, you will be welcomed by three sisters as if they were inviting you into their home. They are expert in preparing many of the typical dishes of the local gastronomic tradition: in particular the home-made pasta called scialatielli, fried prawns and squid, swordfish, and vegetable side dishes. What’s more the prices here are among the most competitive anywhere on the Amalfi coast. A meal at Rispoli’s is a unique experience you will treasure, because the three “Signorine” not only cook superbly but are also full of the spontaneous goodwill that characterises the local inhabitants. There is a fine terrace with panoramic views over the valley and Ravello.
