On the sand at Marina del Cantone, this is the trattoria where Donna Maria Grazia created the original spaghetti with zucchini in 1952, a recipe the family still guards. The dish, the setting on the bay and the unbroken family line are the draw rather than any modern flourish. A piece of Sorrento-peninsula culinary history that remains a working seaside kitchen.

Editor's Tip

Birthplace of spaghetti alla Nerano. Seasonal: closed in winter. Go for the namesake pasta and the view, not refinement.
