'a Paranza Review

This simple trattoria is our favorite restaurant in the area. Popular for its well-prepared seafood at moderate prices, it is hidden away off the main street of Atrani -- the village adjacent to Amalfi to the east -- and does not have sea views. The traditional cuisine focuses on the best local ingredients, but standouts are the delicious scialatielli alla paranza (homemade pasta with small fish), polipetti in cassuola (baby octopus stewed in a terra-cotta pot), or scampi al limone (prawns in lemon sauce). Do not miss the homemade desserts. The wine list is short but includes excellent local wines.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
