Tucked away in the lovely Laurito beach, just a short 5-minute boat ride away from Positano‘s Spiaggia Grande is a delicious, totally informal restaurant that we can’t miss on our Amalfi Coast trip: Da Adolfo!
Da Adolfo is a tiny restaurant located in the small beach of Laurito. This beach can be reached by taking a small wooden boat that takes you back and forth from the beach to Spiaggia Grande in Positano (the boat is the one with the red fish-shaped sign with Da Adolfo written on it). As the boat navigates the waters, the views of Positano and the Amalfi Coast are splendid. Once you arrive, if you’re just staying for lunch go directly to the small wooden restaurant, but if you’re staying for the beach too (it’s a great beach with crystal clear waters and not a lot of people), go ask for your sun bed (make sure to have called to reserve the sun bed).
Da Adolfo is a very small restaurant, very informal, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a delicious lunch on a sunny day. The service is very friendly and the menu is yummy! All the dishes change on a daily basis and are written on a big black chalk board, so of course, as you’d expect, all the ingredients are super fresh and of course, exquisite!
An old-time favourite is the mussel soup along with the mouthwatering grilled mozzarella on lemon leafs, the delicious spaghetti totani e zucchini (squids and zucchini) and the grilled catch of the day. But when you get there the black chalk board will speak for itself! And of course, a pitcher with local wine and peaches cannot be missing at the table!
We were lucky enough to get a booking at Da Adolfo when we were last in the Amalfi and still talk about the meal and experience, it’s a Positano must do.
