Are you in Ravello and looking for a great restaurant or place to eat? Not to worry! Our local guides have mapped out the best restaurants in the Amalfi Coast’s Ravello.
Ravello is perched up high with amazing views of the entire Amalfi Coast. Everyone has seen pictures of the Amalfi Coast. It is hands down one of the most beautiful places on Earth, which is why so many people want to come and visit. When you have a lot of tourists, you’re bound to see many tourist-trap restaurants, so you need to be careful.
Since nobody likes a tourist trap (myself included), we’ve asked our local guides to put together a list of their favorite places to eat when they’re in this town. We hope it helps you take the guesswork out of your decision and focus on enjoying your vacation. Buon Appetito!
Duomo Caffe
€ | Outdoor Seating | People Watching
I figured we would start this off with a chilled place to have a drink and people-watch. What better place to do that than in the main square of town? This café is fairly new, having opened in 2014, and appeals to both tourists and locals alike.
What should you have when you come? Your choice is vast from breakfast to lunch, aperitivo, and a late-night glass of wine. While we usually don’t recommend eating in the main squares, the quality-to-price ratio is good here. It’s also sometimes nice to sip on a spritz as the sun is going down and watch the world go by.
Sometimes you don’t want a long, sit-down dinner. You might want to have a quick meal so that you can go night swimming in the sea. For a great pizza option, we recommend Nino’s Pizza.
The main fare is pizza here as you can imagine by the name. They also offer various calzones, sandwiches, and even roast chicken with potatoes. Enjoy a quick, but delicious meal—that’s why it’s one of the best restaurants in Ravello.

Capri Full Day Tour from Sorrento by Luxury Boat
A day in Capri can’t be missed, so we make it easy! You’ll sail in to azure blue waters for a swim before seeing the famous grottos of Capri. Then enjoy an afternoon eating, shopping, and exploring the island of Capri before returning to Sorrento.
Sometimes when you go to a restaurant you can tell that the owners were quite possibly artists in a previous life, or even this lifel. That’s definitley the vibe you’ll get when you come to dine at Babel Wine Bar Deli & Art.
If you want a break from the heavy pasta and pizzas, then pop in for lunch here. Enjoy some prosciutto and Mozzarella or some meatballs in a red sauce. For something a bit lighter how about a red quinoa salad? Don’t forget the wine and limoncello at the end.
If you decide to have a drink or bite here, you’ll be dining in a building that dates back to the 13th century. It was the home of the noble della Marra family. The staff is very nice and accommodating and will explain the wines and menu to you. On a personal note, I was here with two crying children and they were very accommodating.
While the food is good here, the portions are small as in most wine bars. For us, that was no problem. Many people, however, are expecting big portions, so keep that in mind.
They have many meat and seafood starters as well as various pasta dishes to sample. I recommend coming for a light snack with a glass (or bottle) of delicious wine. They also have a nice courtyard for you to sit in.
Located in the Garden hotel, as with many spots in Ravello, you can have a gorgeous view while you dine. There are two big rooms to choose from, but I still recommend that you book in advance. Remember to book before the sun goes down so you can truly enjoy the view.
Their menu is focused on local and regional dishes. They use as many products farm-to-table as possible. For example, I would recommend the fresh anchovies and calamari as a starter. Wash it down with local wine and don’t forget the limoncello. When you finish, you’ll understand why it’s one of the best restaurants in Ravello.
One of the main sites that you will visit in Ravello is the Villa Rufolo, built back in the Middle Ages. Chances are you’ll be hungry and Vittoria is right around the corner, so it’s perfectly placed!
Their menu is varied from pizza to meat dishes and seafood. This is the perfect place to come and eat when you have a bigger group and everyone likes something different.
This is one of those places you go to for a meal and have an experience instead. The chef is someone who really knows what he’s doing and the staff are on point. Did I mention that the views are amazing as well?
The menu has a bit of a modern twist on classical dishes, so you won’t find the typical dishes that you find at many restaurants in the area. You might start with bread that has a message written in squid ink and anchovy butter.
After, if you want to change it up, go for the Steak Frites or the crespelle (a house favorite). Finish off with tiramisu and you’ll understand why this is one of the best restaurants in Ravello.
What better way to spend the night than overlooking the Mediterranean from above and enjoying an amazing meal? If you come, make sure you make a reservation early to enjoy the views as the sun goes down. The restaurant is below sea level and in the Hotel Marmorata.
I highly recommend the tuna tartare as a starter. After that, I would go with the tagliolini with lobster. You might want to save room for dessert after, so skip the secondo and dive into sweet decadence.
They bring in Sal de Riso desserts, which are the best on the coast, so if they have it, go with the Baba. After your meal, you’ll understand why this is one of the best restaurants in Ravello.
Situated inside the 5-star Palazzo Avino Hotel, the 1-Michelin star says a lot. Even if you are not staying in the hotel, you can book a table here and enjoy the exceptional views. The service is impeccable as is everything else that comes with a Michelin star.
The menu consists of haute cuisine. You can select the Grand Tasting menu or order a’ la carte. Their wine selection is expansive and if you decide to splurge, you’ll have a fantastic fine-dining experience in Ravello.

Pompeii and Amalfi Coast Tours
There are many options for your trip to the Amalfi Coast, whether you’re taking a full trip or just a day trip from Rome. You can even explore the most famous archaeological site in the world: Pompeii. The combination of plunging cliffs, history, and charm make the Amalfi Coast one of our favorite places in Italy.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is the best restaurant in Ravello. While I know that “best” depends on many factors, Il Flauto has it all. From impeccable service to amazing views, an extensive wine list, and delicious food. What more could you ask for? As expected it will be heavy on the wallet, but sometimes you just need to splurge. And this is the place to do it.
The restaurant is inside Villa Cimbrone hotel, which is part of a park from the Middle Ages. The cuisine itself is modern and you’ll find pasta, fish, and truffles of all sorts. Enjoy a nice bottle of wine overlooking the sea and a wonderful meal in one of the best restaurants in Ravello.
