Sant’Andrea

Salerno


There’s an earthy southern Italian flavour at this classic old-town trattoria with its terrace surrounded by historic houses decorated with last night's pajamas hung out to dry. Choices are more innovative than you would expect, and include such seafood dishes as squid with porcini mushrooms and cuttlefish with creamed vegetables.

Don't confuse it with a kebab shop of the same name located in the same square.
