| Villa Maria Restaurant Ravello |
Located in the picturesque hilltop town of Ravello is
the Villa Maria, with its charming pergola-covered,
garden restaurant (paved with stones from an original
Roman road) and fabulous views of the surrounding hills
sweeping down to the sea
In the kitchen of Villa
Maria the chefs utilize mainly their biological garden
products. In fact Villa Maria is surrounded by wonderful
terraced gardens where every morning our farmers harvest
the biological products (fertilized with humus from near
mountains sheep and goats' breeding) which can be
savoured in the restaurant. The guest are welcomed to
stroll through the gardens and even visit the cave
chapel at the end of the gardens, where farmers used to
stop and pray during work pause.
The restaurant
opened, just like the hotel, in 1934 with grandma Orsola
at the burners; today it is possible to savour regional
and local cuisine recipes improved with knowledge and
modern taste by the coast's famous chefs.
The
restaurant, suggested by major culinary guides, has
received awards from the Gambero Rosso and from the
Italian Culinary Academy, the TV network BBC, has filmed
the chefs at work for the program "This Morning"
starring Lloyd Grossman and gastronomy expert Antonio
Carluccio.
Photos of American writer Gore Vidal,
sociologist Domenico De Masi, the surgeon Antonio
Guarnieri, Susan Sarandon, Matt Dillon and Hugh Grant
just to mention a few, hang on the walls as everlasting
memories. Giulio Andreotti, Maria Gabriella di Savoia,
Gianni Brera, Luciano De Crescenzo, Irene Papas,
Vittorio Sgarbi, Lina Wertmuller are among others who
enjoyed dining at Palumbo family's restaurant |
