Positano, Positano Italy
Zass Restaurant
The legendary San Pietro hotel is one of the world's most celebrated, the jewel of Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Within its illustrious walls lies this restaurant whose tremendous success (book considerably in advance is advised), aside from its undoubtedly enchanting location, owes much to the expertise of Belgian Chef Alois Vanlangenaeker, who has been here for over 20 years. His cuisine harmoniously and elegantly narrates the strength, fragrances, and flavours of the Mediterranean, primarily using the Campanian language that remains pure in tradition as the meal begins with a freshly baked Margherita pizza, gradually enriched by pleasant creative notes within the dishes. The property's organic garden is increasingly making its presence felt in a menu of both land and, predominantly, sea-focused options. The emblematic San Pietro dish is a masterpiece, lemon scented and accompanied by buffalo yogurt potato puree, seasonal vegetables, and the house’s renowned Champagne and truffle sauce. Opting not to take the lift to the main hall is recommended—instead, treat yourself to a spectacular descent through gardens, statues, and mesmerizing vistas of one of Italy’s most famous hotels.
