The story
Perched on the legendary SS 163 Amalfitana, Volta del Fuenti by Michele De Blasio offers a contemporary dining experience with a view that stretches across the Gulf of Salerno. The restaurant, located in Vietri sul Mare, is named for the dramatic curve in the coastal road where it sits, a fitting symbol for the refined turns chef Michele De Blasio takes with his cooking.
The atmosphere balances the drama of the Amalfi Coast with understated elegance. Outdoor seating allows guests to dine with the sea as a constant backdrop, while air conditioning provides comfort inside. The restaurant’s wine list is carefully curated, offering interesting pairings that complement the chef’s contemporary cuisine.
Chef De Blasio’s kitchen is rooted in the traditions of Campania, yet looks forward. Each plate reflects a precise, modern sensibility that respects ingredients and seasonality. This approach earned the restaurant a Michelin star, a recognition that speaks to the quality of cooking and the consistency of the experience.
For those traveling the Amalfitana, Volta del Fuenti is a destination that rewards the journey. Parking is available, making it accessible for a lunch or dinner that lingers. The restaurant’s contemporary cuisine is the star, but the setting—where the cliff meets the sea—makes every meal memorable.
