Where to have an aperitif on the Amalfi Coast
Where to Have an Aperitif on the Amalfi CoastAccording to Article 1 of the Aperitif Manifesto (signed during the first edition of World Aperitif Day): “The aperitif is an original ritual in the Italian tradition that combines a drink with a food product or a gastronomic preparation paired with it“. It is part of the food and wine culture of the Bel Paese and is an unmissable appointment, especially on the Amalfi Coast, where there are numerous venues, with breathtaking views and unique atmospheres, in which to enjoy an unforgettable aperitif in company.
From Positano to Vietri sul Mare, we have selected the most suggestive places to have an aperitif. But before listing them, we would like to remind you that those staying at our boutique hotel can also enjoy a magical aperitif overlooking the sea.
Fly Rooftop Bar in Positano
Perched on a cliff with a breathtaking view of the sea, the Fly Rooftop Bar in Positano is one of the most popular aperitif spots. Overlooking the beach of Marina Grande, one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and one of the most photographed places on the coast, it has a panoramic terrace that becomes even more enchanting at sunset. Absolutely not to be missed, it is the ideal location to enjoy the golden hour while sipping a delicious drink. In addition to the great classics, it offers cocktails of excellence created by their mixologists.
Franco’s Bar in Positano
Franco’s Bar in Positano is a window on the sea of the Amalfi Coast. But it is much more than a seaside bar, it is a collective work of art. Like the prow of an elegant ship suspended above the rooftops of the town, it represents a unique convergence of artists and craftsmen (the baroque fountain dominating the terrace is beautiful). Its philosophy is to be a contemporary bar that nevertheless retains an “old school” dedication to cocktails. It offers a decent selection of drinks accompanied by pleasant snacks and background music.
Il Pirata in Praiano
Another place not to be missed for an aperitif is the lounge bar Il Pirata, located in the heart of Praiano. Carved into the rock, it overlooks the sea. It offers serenity and a feeling of peace and protection. The cosy atmosphere allows guests to experience a moment of pleasure and sharing. As for cocktails, it offers a perfect mix of great classics and signature creations. Each drink is prepared with top-quality ingredients and a touch of originality. We recommend you try the Pirata Champagne Spritz and the Amalfi Coast Spritz.
Café Mirante in Praiano
Also in Praiano, you cannot miss an aperitif at Café Mirante, one of the best places to watch the sunset on the Amalfi Coast. It is located halfway between the Amalfitana state road (SS 163) and Cala della Gavitella, the only beach on the coast kissed by the sun from sunrise to sunset. Silence reigns here and the atmosphere is relaxed. As is the walk down the alleyway to reach it. A lane between houses with ceramics set into the walls. It offers a wide selection of cocktails accompanied by small appetisers.
Limoneto Bar in Vietri sul Mare
Finally, we could not fail to include the Limoneto Bar in Vietri sul Mare on this list. It overlooks the sea and is part of the Fuenti Gardens complex, a space that combines gastronomy, entertainment, wellness and relaxation. Precious lemon trees fill, with their scent, this magical place that reflects the most authentic soul of the Amalfi Coast. Characterised by a relaxing and glamorous atmosphere, it is the ideal place to sip a delicious cocktail while admiring the infinite beauty of the panorama.
