Amalfi Coast revisited Ristorante Da Adolfo, Via Spiaggia di Laurito 40, Positano, Italia


Impression of Da Adolfo.
 
The Boat that accompanies diners to Da Adolfo

As I sweep into the small beach that cradles the Da Adolfo Restaurant I know I am home. The sight that greets me is familiar. Colourful umbrellas & latinos lined up ready for the assorted bodies that will soon stretch them into all sorts of shapes now come into view. Trestle tables adorned with relaxed, costume clad holiday makers and locals, drinking and eating Mozzarella alla Brace (in lemon leaves), scampi, muscles, and every form of pasta possible. 

It seems the regulars have returned. For some, for their 26th year, announcing there is “no other place.” To make it more appealing there is an Australian connection .The Bella family travel to Italy each year for 6 weeks during the peak season to help out with the family run business which has been passed down a couple of generations. You can’t get more authentic than this.               

A special boat recognisable by a red fish that flies high above the glistening Mediterranean , picks you up (every hour  from the small port of Positano) leaving you to relax, wine , dine or even take a swim to the nearby Grotto dello Smeraldo. The ambiance is laid back, however the food deserving of a couple of hats. This hidden treasure is a must to visit.                                                                                                       

If you don’t want to feel like a tourist travelling with the masses, here’s a way to become a local.......... Ciao!
