The pride of southern Italian cuisine
“See the sea of Surriento, the buried treasure it has! Those who travelled all over the world haven’t seen anything like it.” The old song “Torna a Surriento” (Come back to Sorrento in English) describes the stunning environment of the islands in southern Italy. There has the radiant and enchanting sunshine, endless shoreline and lush plants, it is the most stunning stretch of coastline anywhere in the world. The unique climate and geographical environment give birth to the abundant crops as well as the one-of-kind delicious cuisine. Inspired by the amazing cuisine of the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy, Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 was born. This world famous restaurant is nestled in a 19th century Neapoletan building, it is filled with bright colours – lilac, yellow, orange and pink – which look lovely with the natural, Mediterranean light, transporting guests to the extraordinary atmosphere of Southern Italy. Since 1986, the kitchen has used produce from its own dedicated farm called Le Peracciole, just a few miles away along the coast facing the island of Capri. All the dishes here are based on three principles: Mediterranean character, first class quality of the raw ingredients and modern food styling. Preserving thousands of years of old food tradition from the Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast, Casa Don Alfonso provides an authentic Italian experience.

The restaurant uses the best quality of San Marzano Tomatoes, fresh Fior di Latte, Mozzarella Di Buffala, artisanal soppressata and carefully selected Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil. One of its defining characteristics is that there is often more sauce than cheese, leaving the middle of the pie wet or soggy and not conducive to being served by the slice.
