After our first full day exploring the Amalfi Coast, we ate at Pastificio di Martino Sea Front…read morePasta Bar for dinner. It is located above the pasta shop, and I wish I had more time to browse the store. We had reservations for a later time, but fortunately it was not busy and we were able to get a seat at the bar almost an hour and a half prior to our reservation. Make sure you have your green pass or COVID vaccine card to enter the restaurant.
Oh. My. Goodness. What an experience. It was our first Michelin star dinner and they definitely delivered! It was so cool sitting at the bar and watching the food prepared in front of us. Servers and chefs were all amazing and explained everything so well. We opted for the Di Martino Tasting menu with wine pairings - essentially 8 courses and 6 wines. In a nutshell, we had: Amuse-bouche del Sea Front (cheese-stuffed pasta with cod), pumpkin orzo with calamari, gemmelli with lentils and clams, penne with tomato sauce and beets, penne with pork shoulder, conchiglione with roast beef, and lastly, La Devozione - their signature spaghetti and best I've had! For dessert, we had a pastamisu and gifted a dessert box with a variety of pastries from the chef. Despite how small these plates look, we were absolutely stuffed afterwards! Still thinking about this delicious meal! We heard that a location is opening in New York City and I can't wait to make a visit!
