DON ALFONSO 1890’S COOKING PHILOSOPHY
Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 reflects a philosophy that is innovative while respecting the local food culture and the old traditions of the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.
Nestled in a 19th century Neapolitan building, the restaurant is filled with bright colors - lilac, yellow, orange and pink - which look lovely with the natural, Mediterranean light, making guests feel the extraordinary atmosphere of
Southern Italy.
Our menu begins with a quote by
Eduardo De Filippo:
"Only after having studied, breathed and respected tradition we do have the right to set it aside with the knowledge that we have a debt with it, for showing us the way. Naturally, if we remain stucked in the past, our life becomes stagnant, but, if we use tradition as a springboard, we will sail that much higher in the air".
Being innovative, staying in step with the times, is essential, but we want to maintain our identity, which is tied to our
history and our
land.
It is on this unwavering principle that
Don Alfonso 1890 has built its business.
The work of man, his professionalism and his
ability to innovate rooted in
tradition are the tools we have to share the culture and values of this
land, with the whole world. The food is part of the culture of a place and an expression of it, just like its monuments and buildings.
