Assaggio

A mass of tiered, colorful houses built into a sheer rock-face, each overlooking the cerulean Tyrrhenian Sea—cuisine at Assaggio practically sends diners to this coveted spot on the Amalfi Coast. The restaurant specializes in Positano dishes, which fuses traditional Italian flavors with Mediterranean influences, as well as using an abundance of fresh seafood. For instance, chefs create the Grigliaga from grilled scallops, shrimp, calamari, and the catch-of-the-day. They also whip up pasta dishes saturated in handmade sauces or meat entrees like the fall-off-the-bone short ribs, all pair-able with Assagio's extensive list of wines.
