Gnocchi Bliss in Amalfi: A Serendipitous Find at Taverna degli Apostoli

Sometimes, the best meals are the ones you stumble upon by chance. That’s exactly what happened to us during our second visit to Amalfi, a charming coastal gem in Italy. While wandering through the bustling Piazza del Duomo, we discovered Taverna degli Apostoli, a hidden treasure located right off the magnificent Duomo di Amalfi.


Nestled in the shadow of the Duomo, Taverna degli Apostoli offers more than just a meal – it provides an experience. As we settled into our cozy spot on the terrace, the views over the lively piazza captivated us. The gentle hum of conversation, the clinking of glasses, and the occasional toll of church bells created an atmosphere that felt quintessentially Italian.

A Culinary Delight

But the real star of our visit was the gnocchi. Soft, pillowy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, this dish was a revelation. Each bite was perfectly balanced, with the gnocchi’s tender texture complemented by a rich and flavorful tomato sauce. I’ve grown up eating and making gnocchi, but this was in a league of its own – truly the softest and most delectable we’ve ever tasted.

An Unforgettable Setting

Dining at Taverna degli Apostoli is a feast for all the senses. The Duomo’s intricate façade serves as a stunning backdrop, while the bustling activity of the piazza below adds to the ambiance. As we enjoyed our meal, the gentle peal of church bells added a touch of magic, reminding us of Amalfi’s rich history and vibrant culture.
