Hi Jeff and welcome to our community! Where specifically do you plan to travel on the Amalfi Coast? And where to you plan to depart from? The transportation question kind of hinges on where you'd like to visit and what in particular you're looking for (convenience, cost savings, time savings, etc.)

I don't actually have a specific restaurant recommendation, although I think my colleague Grace Fuller might know of some good places to eat on the Amalfi Coast.

However, I can suggest a couple amazing tours we offer on the southern coast. (I'll copy my colleague Danielle in case you have any further questions on these!)

One which is an Amalfi Coast day trip by high-speed train from Rome, if you weren't planning to stay overnight and are looking for a full guided experience that includes a limoncello tasting! It's a train and boat combo and explores Positano and other destinations.

There's also a foodie tour of Naples, if you want to do authentic street food!

Ciao Jeff! For restaurants, I recommend Ristorante Savo if you are exploring Amalfi and enjoy delicious seafood. It is a beautiful 10-minute walk along the coast.

If you find yourself in Positano I recommend my all-time favorite
Ristorante Bruno. They serve an unbelievable lobster with spaghetti and the view from the table is breathtaking. Another delicious spot in Positano is Da Gabrisa. Again, yummy food (although smaller portions) with an incredible view.

Thank you both Shelley and Grace. We will be in Mauori for 4 nights after 4 nights in Rome. So we want to get a taste of the whole area a little better. For transportation we are looking for economical and convenient (not going to try driving this time) but would love info on tours. We are thinking of a day on Capri as well. Thank you for your responses.
Jeff
