The Best Restaurants in Massa Lubrense According to Tripadvisor and Instagram
The Best Restaurants in Massa Lubrense, Personally Tried and Recommended!
Terrazza Iride
Brand new restaurant with a highly experienced chef
• Experience - Mid-high quality restaurant with mid-range prices in Massa Lubrense • Price Range - Medium, you can easily eat on any budget, from pizzas starting at €6 to more elaborate pasta dishes at a maximum of €15/18 • Specialties - The stuffed squid and scialatiello with squid ink! • Parking - Free parking nearby, very convenient and spacious
I’m starting with them because if I had to think of a fairly central and recommended restaurant in Massa Lubrense, they immediately come to mind!
The location is unique, everything has changed and is changing from before, the charm of nature and a fantastic summer terrace will accompany your lunch or dinner.
I know their whole story very well since I manage their social media profiles (the photos are mine)
How to describe their cuisine? Dishes made with simplicity and tradition, presented in a refined and elegant way.
A real quality-price deal
I especially recommend it to those who want to make a good impression, the cuisine hits the mark and amazes!
Ristorante La Torre “One Fire”
Traditional and historic cuisine in the Annunziata district
• Experience - Typical Sorrento restaurant • Price Range - Medium from €35 to €40 • Specialties - The appetizers, enhanced by the freshness of the garden • Parking- Very easy to park nearby
Historic restaurant of the peninsula where I also celebrated my 18th birthday.
A very easy and unique restaurant, in the little square there’s only them and basically just their restaurant.
Characterized by traditional and slow food dishes, you can eat while enjoying the freshness of our land.
I haven’t been to this restaurant in 13 years but that doesn’t mean I don’t recommend it, they’re a historic stop to make
Ristorante Mary’s Beach
Young and vibrant cuisine in Nerano (Massa Lubrense)
• Experience - Revisited cuisine • Price Range - Medium for Nerano prices (€45 to €55 per person) • Specialties - Mary's Beach appetizer • Parking- Paid parking in Nerano, in the evening even for two hours if I remember correctly you spend €10
Restaurant I experienced firsthand, I managed their social media for two years.
They’re very dear friends of mine and I can only boast about the great Luigi Mollo’s cuisine, I think one of the greatest talents of our peninsula.
The restaurant is aesthetically very friendly, their appetizer served on many drops to try is amazing, I still dream at night about their prawns in Kataifi pastry!
I recommend it for those who want to try a different experience and not the usual spaghetti alla Nerano, they make it, and it’s good too, but it’s not their strong point, they don’t focus on it as a must!
In short, put Mary’s Beach restaurant on your list of places to absolutely try in Nerano and Massa Lubrense!
Ristorante I Quattro Venti
Restaurant or even better, grandma’s typical cooking at the table!
• Experience - Homemade, grandma's cooking • Price Range - €25/30 per person • Specialties - Spaghetti alla Nerano • Parking- Few free spots next to the restaurant, easy parking in Sant'Agata center
Looking for homemade cooking? The typical kind grandma cooks for you on Sundays? HERE’s the ideal restaurant!
Nonna Melina is a historic cook and has taught her children traditional and popular recipes, I’ve been several times to enjoy their dishes and I have to admit it really feels like eating at home.
For me, those looking for a nice rich “Bizzarro” appetizer and a magnificent Nerano, in the cool hills or a beautiful spaghetti ai frutti di mare, are in the right place!
PS: Their pizza is also special, very light with sourdough (FOR REAL)
Ristorante da Mimì
Historic restaurant in Massa Lubrense (Sant’Agata) but also an unforgettable fried food shop for everyone!
• Experience - Traditional cuisine, truly historic • Price Range - Between €35 to €45 per person • Specialties - FRIED FOOD, eggplant and arancino to DIE FOR • Parking- No parking, you need to park where you can in Sant'Agata and then reach it
I’m a fan of their fried food shop, I think anyone who loves this category must absolutely note this stop and try their eggplant and arancino, I’m naming these but I really recommend every fried item!
The dishes are simple, they don’t risk strange combinations and you’ll find a fairly fixed menu, if you’re looking for traditional cuisine they’re right for you!
I’ll just tell you that Silvana (my wife) grew up with this restaurant as a reference point in her town
Ristorante Eughenes
The best quality-price Nerano in Massa Lubrense (Termini), but don’t tell the owner!
• Experience - Trattoria • Price Range - I don't think I've ever spent more than €35 per person • Specialties - Nerano! • Parking- Not their own parking but easy nearby
Place where we’ve celebrated our group of friends’ birthdays countless times
Famous for its spaghetti with zucchini (you read that right, DON’T CALL IT NERANO! the owner gets angry) you’ll find a rustic place, typical of all trattorias and family-run establishments.
Average Experience: Rich and homemade appetizer, ravioli or Nerano as recommended first courses, meat and dessert
You’ll spend so little you won’t believe it, basic service and homemade cooking, experience it with simplicity and you’ll enjoy it like crazy!
Ristorante Maria Grazia Nerano
Ristorante Maria Grazia Nerano: The inventors of spaghetti alla Nerano!
• Experience - Trattoria for the homemade aesthetic of the place and dishes • Price Range - At least €40 per person • Specialties - Spaghetti alla Nerano, they're the inventors • Parking- Paid parking in Nerano, in the evening even for two hours if I remember correctly you spend €10
Ristorante Maria Grazia in Nerano, inventor of the famous spaghetti alla Nerano, founded in 1901, takes its name from the founder, mother of the family who is still ever-present in the kitchen.
By now everyone knows this restaurant, these spaghetti are absolutely incredible and you’ll experience a unique creaminess.
If you’re curious you can find my video with Jana on her YouTube channel, I’ll leave the video below!
Ristorante Paguro
A typical seafood trattoria in Marina della Lobra
• Experience - Seafood trattoria • Price Range - Around €30 per person • Specialties - Fresh fish and seafood dishes • Parking- Paid parking nearby, free scooter parking if you find a spot
A magnificent stilt house on the sea, simple cuisine but impressive.
I recommend Ristorante Paguro to all those who love the sea and its delights, I’d go there every time I’m looking for a nice homemade fish meal.
The scialatiello ai frutti di mare is top-notch as is the quality-price ratio, I recommend it for all types of experiences, both family and couples!
