La Caravella

La Caravella first opened in 1959 and has since become of the most important and well-known restaurants in the south of Italy. It's located right in the center of Amalfi, where guests can feel the full history of this former maritime republic, as the restaurant is next to the Ancient Arsenals, the historic naval shipyard of the maritime republic. This 12th-century architectural jewel was home to the Piccolomini family, feudatories of the Duchy of Amalfi. La Caravella is situated in what was once the archive of the Duchy during the Renaissance.

In the 1960s, La Caravella was one of the first restaurants in southern Italy to receive a Michelin star, due to the exceptionally high level of fine dining the restaurant succeeded in achieving. The menu at La Caravella is based on an eclectic blend of east and west, with choices from both land and sea, putting a new spin on historic Amalfi recipes.

The elegant dining room houses a rich ceramics collection created by the most famous Vietri ceramics master artists, dating back to the 1800s. Dining at La Caravella offers guests a unique experience in art, history, and culinary expertise. Still lovingly family-run by the Dipino family, La Carvella is a culinary jewel that has passed the art of fine dining down through the generations, for a delicious blend of tradition and innovation.
