The Amalfi Coast is often reduced to beach clubs and limoncello stands—but for those who’ve lived here for generations, it’s something else entirely. Meet Antonia De Simone of Lo Scoglio da Tommaso, a family-run restaurant perched above the sea, where the land, the sea, and the tomatoes are part of the same story.
Named after her legendary grandmother N’tunetta, Antonia now leads Lo Scoglio with her siblings Margherita and Tommaso. From tying her hair before service to speaking about tomatoes like wine, she brings honesty, strength, and clarity to everything she does. For her, the vegetables—and the way they’re grown—say more about heritage than words ever could.
The family’s restaurant, set on a wooden pier above the sea. Known for its spaghetti alla Nerano and ingredients grown just up the hill.
A historic address in Amalfi, where tradition lives in every pastry. Known for its sfogliatelle and lemon desserts, Pansa is a favourite for locals and travellers alike.
A short, unadvertised hike takes you to this chapel overlooking the coast. “The view from up there is indescribable,” says Antonia.
Her sacred place. Perched above the sea, San Pancrazio offers one of the most peaceful and golden hour–worthy views on the coast.
A seafood favourite overlooking the port, founded in 1969. Antonia recommends the scampi, pezzogna, and lemon-scented desserts.
A ceramicist whose work reflects the land’s raw beauty. Antonia admires the wild, expressive forms of his plates and tiles—each one handmade in a cliffside studio overlooking the coast.
A restored hotel above Amalfi with jaw-dropping views and refined Mediterranean cuisine. Antonia calls it “the kind of authentic luxury I love.
Accessible only on foot, this agriturismo serves dishes made with their own vegetables, handmade pasta, and a view worth the walk.
From this tiny village, you can see Capri “floating on water,” as Antonia says. Termini is also the start of the ancient trail to Punta Campanella—perfect for those who want to walk with a view.
Antonia loves Cetara for its colatura di alici—a centuries-old anchovy extract still made with traditional methods. Visit at sunset for its soft colours and lived-in charm.
Dalla Carta alla Cartolina is a mix of gallery, archive, and workshop—revived by Andrea De Luca in one of the town’s historic mills.
Located in Cetara and run by the Torrente brothers, this spot helped bring colatura to wider recognition. A must for anchovy lovers.
An homage to the gorgeous coastlines of Amalfi, Fico di Amalfi La Riserva is an intense and multi-nuanced fragrance from an eight-week maceration process, evoking the rich aroma of fig pulp that meets the unmistakable vibrancy of lemon.
