Mariterraneo

Top choice in Salerno


Hard to find, this new purveyor of Slow Food shines brightly amid the grubby graffiti, drying washing and overflowing bins of the centro storico (historic centre). The artistically presented food will have you unashamedly reaching for your camera – if you can put off eating it for that long. Try the delicately baked fish nestled on a bed of vegetables.

They sell some of the ingredients they use in their dishes (pasta, olive oil, preserves, etc) in a little shop out front.

Live music of the jazzy variety adds romance on some evenings.

The restaurant is located just northwest of the junction of Via Mercanti and Via delle Botteghelle.
