Where to eat at and around Palazzo Pascal

The hotel's own tables cover most of the day. Gli Ulivi, its restaurant, serves dinner under Executive Chef Ciro Accardo: modern Mediterranean cooking, à la carte or as tasting menus, with herbs, lemons and vegetables from the hotel's garden, served on Pascal ceramics, and open to outside guests. The pool bar serves light lunches of salads, bowls and focaccia, the Pascal Lounge Bar opens in the morning, and the Berry Bar has signature cocktails by the pool in the evening, among them the Pascal Spritz. Outside, Palazzo Pascal is beyond easy walking range: of the places below, only the two in Pontone are close, 9 minutes down stepped lanes and a 130-metre climb back, so for everything else you will want a taxi or a car. The drives below are routed, off-peak, from the road by the hotel. Many places on this coast close from November to March, so check before you plan a dinner early or late in the season.

Close by, on foot or by car

  • Bar Blu

    9 min walk

    Village bar for coffee and breakfast · €

    A small bar on Piazza San Giovanni in Pontone, the hamlet below Minuta, with tables looking down the valley to Amalfi. It is the nearest place to the hotel for an espresso and a cornetto in the morning or a drink in the evening. It opens early for coffee and stays open into the evening. The walk down is 9 minutes on stepped lanes; the way back climbs about 130 metres, so allow longer.

  • Antico Borgo

    9 min walk

    Family trattoria and pizzeria with a sea-view terrace · €€

    A family-run trattoria and pizzeria a few steps from Pontone's square, with a terrace over the sea and the Valle dei Mulini. The kitchen is the coast's home cooking: mussels, pasta with squid, cod, a caprese salad, and a wholewheat pizza worth trying. It is within walking distance of the hotel, 9 minutes down the steps and a steady climb back. Opening days and hours vary between listings, so call ahead.

    A family trattoria in Scala, run by Lorenzo and his son Luca, which has served simple fish and seafood for decades and is listed in the MICHELIN Guide. The day's catch comes from the nearest market and is on display, and the panoramic terrace looks over the gulf.

Dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 19:30, lunch on Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 to 15:00, closed on Mondays. Book by phone.

  • Marina Grande

    10 min by car

    Seafood restaurant and beach club on Amalfi's beach · €€€

    A beach club on Amalfi's Marina Grande since 1922, with a restaurant since the late 1950s, on a covered terrace a few metres from the waves; it is in the MICHELIN Guide. Make a day of it: a sunbed on the private beach, with its bar, then lunch of fish from the coast. The dish to order is the gamberi in carrozza, prawns with fior di latte and a twist on puttanesca sauce; the 8-course tasting menu is €95 a head for the whole table, and cover is €3.50. Lunch 12:30 to 15:30, dinner from 18:30, closed on Wednesdays. Book the beach and the table by phone.

  • 'A Paranza

    10 min by car

    Seafood trattoria in Atrani, in the MICHELIN Guide · €€

    Run by the Proto brothers since 1986 in the lanes of Atrani, the tiny village beside Amalfi, in an intimate room inside the borgo. It is in the MICHELIN Guide for simple seafood and Campanian cooking built on very fresh fish, and the dishes of the day are usually told at the table rather than read from a menu. The wine list covers the main Italian regions. Lunch 12:30 to 14:30 and dinner 19:00 to 22:00, closed on Tuesdays; book by phone.

  • Pasticceria Pansa

    10 min by car

    Historic pasticceria and café on Piazza Duomo · €

    Founded in 1830 by Andrea Pansa and run by the same family for five generations, on Amalfi's cathedral square, with its 19th-century furniture and gilded mirrors; it has been on the register of Italy's Locali Storici since 2001. Come for the sfogliatella Santa Rosa, the shell pastry filled with custard and sour cherries, and take home a bag of the candied citrus peel, the scorzette, that the house makes its own. Open every day from 7:30 to 1:00, so it works for breakfast before a ferry or a coffee after dinner.

    Walk inPiazza Duomo 40, Amalfi

  • Sal De Riso

    11 min by car

    Pasticceria in Minori · €

    The pastry shop of Salvatore De Riso on the main street of Minori, the seaside town below Ravello. The lemon cakes are the reason to go: the delizia al limone, lemon profiteroles and babà al limoncello, decorated with lemon leaves and fruit, and there is gelato too. Open every day from 7:00 to 1:00, which makes it an easy stop after a swim or an evening drive along the coast.

Our verdict

The quiet find in Scala, for a 13-room palazzo, a pool facing Ravello and a family welcome rather than a beach. Check availability for the Deluxe Suite Edera.
