Trattoria degli Ulivi

Salerno & the Cilento


After your marathon walk through the endless corridors of the Certoza di San Lorenzo, head to this uncomplicated restaurant, a short 50m stumble from the main entrance. The decor is canteen-like, but the daily specials are affordable, flavour-filled and generously proportioned. It serves snacks as well as four-course blow-out lunches.

Dishes to try include fusilli pasta with local mushrooms and oven-cooked veal.
