The story
Set in the quiet hamlet of Ticciano, high above the Gulf of Naples, Cannavacciuolo Countryside feels a world away from the coast. The restaurant is part of a small resort, its terraces and dining rooms opening onto the rolling hills of the Sorrentine hinterland. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a clear focus on the produce of the surrounding land and sea.
The kitchen is guided by the vision of Antonino Cannavacciuolo, one of Italy’s most celebrated chefs. His name is synonymous with precise technique and deep respect for ingredients. Here, the menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, offering a modern interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine – plates that are both refined and rooted in the flavours of Campania. The restaurant’s own website speaks of cucina di Cannavacciuolo, a promise of the chef’s signature style translated into this countryside setting.
In 2026, Cannavacciuolo Countryside was awarded a Michelin star, a testament to the high quality of its cooking. The recognition reflects the kitchen’s commitment to clarity and balance, drawing on local producers and a carefully curated wine list. It is a place where the bounty of the Amalfi coast and the interior is turned into memorable, modern Italian dishes.
Dinner is the main event, with options for a chef’s table or private dining. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating on warmer evenings, and the team is happy to pair wines with each course. Whether you stay at the resort or drive up from the coast, the meal is a calm, confident expression of one of Italy’s great chefs at work.
