At The Italian Concierge, we take pride in uncovering Italy’s hidden gems, and one of our favorites is the charming village of Nerano on the Amalfi Coast, located not too far from Positano. Accessible by boat, Nerano offers an authentic Italian experience away from the usual tourist paths.

A highlight of any visit to Nerano is dining at Maria Grazia, a family-owned restaurant with a rich history dating back to 1901. This establishment is renowned for its signature dish, Spaghetti alla Nerano, a delightful pasta featuring thinly sliced fried zucchini and a blend of local cheeses, including Provolone del Monaco. This dish was invented by Maria Grazia herself in the 1950s and has since become a staple of the region’s cuisine. 

Complementing the meal is the house specialty: a refreshing white wine infused with fresh peaches, served in vibrant, hand-painted pitchers. This unique beverage adds a sweet and aromatic note to your dining experience, perfectly matching the coastal ambiance. 

The restaurant’s location is equally enchanting. Situated along the serene Marina del Cantone, Maria Grazia provides diners with stunning views of the crystal-clear waters and the surrounding cliffs. The combination of exquisite cuisine, exceptional wine, and breathtaking scenery makes for an unforgettable lunch experience.

Reaching Nerano by boat is a journey in itself, offering panoramic vistas of the Amalfi Coast’s rugged beauty. Whether you choose a private yacht or a local water taxi, the voyage sets the stage for the culinary delights that await.

Our team can arrange this exclusive experience for you, ensuring every detail is tailored to your preferences. From organizing the boat trip to securing a reservation at Maria Grazia, we strive to make your visit to this hidden gem seamless and memorable.
