RESTAURANT REVIEW
Given that all the restaurants on the Amalfi Coast have access to amazingly high-quality fish and seafood, Alfonso Iaccarino needed something to set his restaurant apart. He decided the pathway to success lay in growing as many of his own ingredients as possible. So long before it was fashionable for a restaurant to have their own farm, Alfonso was operating Le Peracciole, a six-hectare plot of land where the only thing that could rival the quality of the fruits and vegetables it produced were the perfect views it offered of the Isles of Capri and Ischia. Given that the ingredients Alfonso served his customers have that pedigree, no wonder one of our reviewers described the tomatoes he ate as “the best I ever tasted.” Now, along with the “elegant cuisine” and “stellar wine list,” the Iaccarino family has added a hotel to the mix, which means that after dinner one can retire without the thirty-minute drive to towns like Sorrento or Positano.
Scallop, Gnocchi, Sea urchin, Squid ink sauce and Coriander leaves.
