NY Post on Amalfi restaurants - comments?
 

Yesterday's NY Post has an article on ten of the best restarants on the Amalfi Coast (free registration required). Anyone have comments? Agree? Disagree? More to add to the list? Additional color to add? (Especially info on how to reach the restaurants, prices - $40 for linguini fra diablo? gulp, even from a girl who daily pays NY prices! and is that only a primi, like most pasta courses? - atmosphere, etc.)

For background: 4 26-year-old women heading to Positano for the first week in Sept. To save $$ (and waistlines! :-) ) we will probably picnic or dine on the deck for one meal a day, but I would like to plan one moderate-to-expensive lunch or dinner per day.

Thanks for your help!

Can't provide specific restaurant comments since we have not been for 4 years - but I would assume any travel info in the post is just about as accurate as any of their other "news".

If you want to search for a couple of upscale places - besides this post and this and the frommers web site I would search the sites of Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler and National Geo Traveller.

Thanks, will do. Anyone have further info? While I agree that the Post can have slightly suspect world news coverage (when they bother to cover the world at all, though you gotta love their gossip columns), I tend to find their dining reviews fairly reliable, if a bit splashy. So perhaps their coverage of foreign restaurants can be trusted to a point? Anyway, would be interested to hear if anyone has specific reactions. Thanks.

Check out the reviews here if you're interested in all types of restaurants, not just "the best": http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/restau...asp?r=Campania

Sometimes Fodorites get stuck on a few restaurants mentioned here and don't venture out to discover their own favorites.

I posted here a while back that I loved LA TAVERNA DEL LEONE. There are hardly any tourists and the food was excellent. The place was filled with upscale locals and had wonderful service. It is right on the road with parking in front.
