The story
Don Alfonso 1890 serves Italian cooking at corso Sant'Agata 11 in Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, Massa Lubrense, and holds one Michelin Star in the 2026 guide. It is also a boutique hotel.
The kitchen follows what the house calls a natural cooking philosophy, rooted in the food traditions of the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast. Most of its ingredients come from Le Peracciole, an organic farm facing Capri. The farm also produces extra virgin olive oil and a well-known lemon liqueur. The We're Smart Green Guide awarded the restaurant 4 Radishes in 2026.
In the evening, lanterns hang among the garden trees, and an aperitif of bartender-made cocktails comes with small tastes of the house's signature dishes. Sommelier Maurizio Cerio chooses bottles from the cellar each day. The cooking school, set among hand-painted Vietri tiles, teaches Mediterranean technique in courses reserved for guests of the house.
