Amalfi Coast, Italy

I know this is a London-based blog, but I pretty much just like writing/showing off about food. So here's a photo food journal of my dinners during my trip to the Amalfi Coast, where nearly all our dinners were based in a small village called Praiano.

Nothing beats fresh, homemade and local food.

Homemade fresh lemonade on arrival at Casa Colomba - the hotel with 199 steps to the main reception area

Peach? Breakfast on the terrace

First night meal - we decided to head to the first restaurant we saw: La Strada. Homemade pasta, with shrimps, lemon and courgettes (or zucchini as they're known there)

Local wines available in half bottles

My local fish and seafood steamed broth in a plastic bag at La Tramonto D'Oro

Aubergine 'flakes'  and fish at La Tramonto D'Oro

Mint chocolate ice cream 

Bread and more local wine for starters

Pizza Napoli from the family-run Pizzeria Rosticceria Da Asporto - possibly one of the best pizza bread's I've ever had

One night on the hotel balcony with a takeaway pizza and limoncello is a must!

This place - La Dolce Vista, a bit more upmarket so only had full bottles of wines available. Amazing views though.

Free bruschetta to start

Lemon, shrimp risotto - delicious

Homemade seafood pasta

Lemon cake we didn't really need but the gluttonous side of us said yes!

And again...

Even the salads are fresh, refreshing and large! The pizza is definitely recommended from Che Bonta Restaurant (the tables are on the steps)

All sorts of limoncello in interesting bottle shapes

My final night dinner - we went back to La Strada and sat upstairs. It was well worth it. This was my favourite dish of the holiday. Seafood pasta with all sorts of tasty flavours!
