ABC's For AmalfiI Coast
 
Thanks to Marilyn's great idea:

A = Amalfi (too easy?)

Good idea.

B is for bouganvilla so beautiful on
the white buildings.

C is for Capri which you can see
off the coastal drive

Only the wine thread was my idea -- I can't take credit for the original idea!

D = Donna Rosa restaurant in Montepertuso, my favorite Amalfi Coast restaurant.

E = exhausting...but exhilarating, the walk from the beach up to where we parked our Vespa!

me again:

F is for Flavio Gioia whose statue is on the square in Amalfi, he was supposed to have invented the compass and lived in Amalfi.

G -- Grotto della Smeraldo - not as good as Grotto Azzuro on Cari but it will do.

mmr41 Jan 21st, 2004 10:58 AM

H -- Hotel Santa Caterina, one of the best. Maybe reclassify to S.

Weadles Jan 21st, 2004 12:02 PM

I is for IL RITROVO in Montepertuso, one of the best restaurants for food and views!

hamlet Jan 21st, 2004 12:48 PM

OK, I'll bite..

J - is for Jeranto, as in Bay of Jeranto, Massa Lubrense

amyb Jan 21st, 2004 12:52 PM

And since K isn't used in Italian...

L is for limoncello!

Patrick Jan 21st, 2004 01:05 PM

Well Amy, you could make it a Keg of Limoncello.

maitaitom Jan 21st, 2004 01:25 PM

"Well Amy, you could make it a Keg of Limoncello."

But Patrick won't help you sip any. He has that bottle of Brunello breathing and ready to drink.

M = Metro del Mare, the ferry that brings you all over the Amalfi Coast. IF you're lucky, you'll get the one with the open decks!

JoyC Jan 21st, 2004 02:53 PM

More, more, more!!!These are shortest, most concise and TERRIFIC suggestions I have come across. Thank you.

nocinonut Jan 21st, 2004 03:08 PM

Well, I have to say

N is for nocino - a walnut liqueur which is made on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Try it after dinner, yum.

nocinonut Jan 21st, 2004 03:18 PM


O
is for O'Capurale where you can sit outside for vino and antipasti in Positano.

italyfan Jan 21st, 2004 03:18 PM

Olives

italyfan Jan 21st, 2004 03:20 PM

pizza, pasta, parmigiano. And paradise.

nocinonut Jan 21st, 2004 03:45 PM

Q is for quiet, nothing but the lapping of the waves on the rocky beaches at dawn.
