Foodtopia Moments

Normally my posts just focus on the food, but today it’ll also focus on the view. We initially parked the car in Positano and wanted to find a restaurant with a view. However, we were far from the spot with lots of restaurants so we headed back to the car and continued on. We were looking for a place that had parking close and a great view. In Positano, we never quite found it, so we continued down the coast toward Amalfi. In between the two major Amalfi Coast towns lies the little city of Praiano. While driving down the road, I noticed a place that was a hotel and restaurant, with parking. So we took the chance and what a great one it was. The view from our veranda table was of Positano and Capri. It was just stunning. Luck for us, the food was delicious as well. Erik had a great locally-inspired ravioli dish with a lemon cream sauce. Mom had chicken scaloppini. I started with a dish of alici ripieno fritti (fried stuffed anchovies), then had a local gnocchi with a fondue of cheese and walnuts. It was delicious. We all had the house made, to perfection, tiramisu for dessert.
