Local Cuisine

Salerno's cuisine is defined by fresh seafood, often caught earlier that day. Spaghetti alle vongole — topped with clams, tomatoes and herbs — is a must-try. Pick up a Neopolitan-style pizza, made with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella di bufala. Finish your meal with a limoncello made from the massive lemons that grow in the region.
