Cetara Punto e Pasta

Cetara


This tiny eating joint in salt-of-the-earth Cetara is barely larger than a studio flat, with six tables and an open kitchen from which the industrious owner-chef performs minor miracles with local fish and homemade pasta. The menu is scrawled on a blackboard. Don’t leave before tasting the fresh-off-the-boat alici (anchovies) ground deliciously into a fishy pesto.

The place usually also opens on Tuesdays in high summer (from around mid-July); call ahead to confirm.
