Want a real Amalfi Coast eating experience in the kind of cute little family run restaurant? Go to Cetara, one of the last authentic fishing villages left on the Amalfi Coast where the local fishermen catch fresh fish everyday, and the local specialties are Alici (anchovies) and Tuna. Look for the cute little trattoria “Cetara Punto e Pasta” and if you’re lucky, you’ll get a table. Then sit in for what will be one of your best meals and experiences of your entire Amalfi Coast trip.

As I said they specialize in Alici here, so I suggest you get a couple dishes or more made with Alici, they are absolutely wonderful. Maybe start out with the Crostini that are topped with a bit of fresh Ricotta and topped with a fresh filet of Alici, “Yum.” My favorite are the Alici Fritti. The Alici are lightly battered and perfectly fried. They are amazing.

They have all sorts of wonderful fish and as the name says, pasta dishes as well. Try some Octopus (Polpo), and the Spaghetti Frutta di Mare with mixed seafood of Mussels, Shrimps, and Clams is outstanding. They are quite well known for their homemade Ravioli stuffed with ricotta and anchovies, in a light tomato sauce.
