A Spasso per il Centro Storico di Salerno: Dove Mangiare è un’Esperienza (e che esperienza!)

A Stroll Through Salerno's Historic Center: Where Eating Is an Experience (and What an Experience!)

Salerno Place Team

Enjoy the specialties of local cuisine, in an intimate and special atmosphere

In the heart of Salerno, the historic center is a succession of small restaurants and bars offering a unique gastronomic experience. Strolling through the narrow streets, you can stop at welcoming trattorias and osterias where you can enjoy typical Salerno dishes, such as fresh fish, buffalo mozzarella, and traditional linguine with clams. Each venue, with its intimate yet lively atmosphere, invites you to discover the authentic flavor of the city, with a fine glass of local wine and the enchantment of an evening by the sea. A selection of restaurants and bars tested by the Salerno Place staff.

If there's one place where you can truly experience the South with a capital "S," it's Salerno's historic center. Trust me, every alley here invites you to get lost... and find yourself faced with a plate of linguine with clams that will change your day.

Among cobbled streets and views straight out of an Italian indie film, you'll find a plethora of small restaurants, trattorias, and osterias where the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming you'll feel like you're dining with friends—friends who know how to cook, at least.

What to eat? Spoiler: everything.

  • Fresh fish that smells of the sea and freedom.

  • Buffalo mozzarella so creamy you'll say "wow" at the first bite.

  • And of course the inevitable linguine with clams , a classic that is never banal here.

And while you enjoy your meal, sipping a nice glass of local wine, in the background there's the music of the alleys, the laughter, and that Salerno atmosphere that is a perfect mix of relaxation and vitality.


Tested and approved by us at Salerno Place 🧡

Yes, we've done the "hard work" of trying them one by one (with a lot of enthusiasm and a few too many forkfuls) to recommend only the places that really made us say: "Okay, we'll come back here!".
In short, no tourist traps, just authentic, genuine experiences with a lot of heart.

Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, an easy lunch after a morning on the beach, or simply something delicious to share on Instagram... Salerno's historic center always has a solution. And often, dessert, too. Coming soon...
