The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Salerno

One can only salivate at the approach of this sign which perfumes the street with the smell of salt products. Next to the grocery and wine shop, a restaurant room has been set up, where you can enjoy carefully selected cheese and charcuterie platters, accompanied by honeys, jams and wines from the region, a CollineSalernitane for example. The owner, who loves his region and its specialities, is available to explain each of his products in detail. The premises also host exhibitions. A must-see address in Salerno.

A basic room, long wooden tables, the untimely hum of a fridge and a handwritten and photocopied map: it is true that one feels a bit like in a den of brigands or old sea dogs, except that the welcome is jovial and that there is a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. The address attracts both locals and tourists who come to this quiet little street. The menu is simple and homely with, for example, baccalà alla bolognese and octopus in tomato sauce

This osteria takes us away from Campania as it offers traditional Roman cuisine, with a focus on local products. Mainly meat, therefore, such as lamb or stewed oxtail, assorted cheeses and cold meats as antipasti, and pasta with carbonara and amatriciana, cooked with guanciale (a salting more fragrant than pancetta) as is the tradition. The service is a bit confusing but full of good will. A good alternative for those who want a change from seafood.

This pizzeria is very popular with the people of Salerno and, although it is often full, it is easy to find a table. It's hard to make up one's mind when faced with the numerous suggestions of toppings that combine the best products of the region: Agerola cheeses, red and yellow piennolo tomatoes, cured meats, mozzarella di bufala, fried vegetables... It's also hard to get to the end of your plate because the pizzas are really generous! The staff are very attentive, even during the busiest hours, and the service is fast and efficient.

Zizzinella in Neapolitan dialect means carefree and lavishness of the easy life, a feeling that Gigi, the jovial and welcoming owner, wanted to recreate in this small and inviting place that offers a moment of relaxation in front of a good seafood cuisine. The menu is short, guaranteeing the freshness of the products, the plates are nicely laid out, and the culinary tradition is accompanied by some fantasy notes. Some specialities: the chef's baccalà (a cod dish) and theantipasto zizzinella in three courses.

Rodolfo and Paola welcome you in their restaurant on the lungomare, ideal for lunch. Several menus are offered either for fish or meat, wide choice of pizzas; we recommend the menu on weekdays. The staff were very helpful and helpful.

A recent and very welcoming address, where the young chef Marco works with excellent products, mostly from zero mileage. Traditional regional cuisine, tasty and copious. As a starter, opt for the assortment of antipasti to share, which could almost be enough for a meal. Perfectly cooked meats and typical good primi, such as pasta with chickpeas or tomato sauce. The unusual part is the "water and wine taps": take your glass and choose!

Located in a small street in the historic center, away from the hustle and bustle, this is an address that does not lack charm with its intimate room with exposed stone walls and attentive service. Aesthetic and honest cooking, a reduced menu in which everyone will find his happiness among the pasta dishes, the fish or the perfectly cooked red meat. The wine of the house, an aglianico in red or a falanghina in white, is very correct and the waiter will be able to advise you some regional wines. A friendly address for a good time.

This slow food establishment is run by a couple who demonstrate a deep sense of hospitality and sharing. From the glass of sparkling wine offered on arrival to the homemade limoncello to end the meal, you feel like a member of the family to whom your hosts would like to please. The quality of the dishes is a bit uneven: prefer the fish dish (very good tuna tagliata with hazelnuts and orange) or try the pasta with genovese sauce (sauce simmered with onions and meat). Reservation strongly recommended.
