Maria Grazia, Nerano

Today I'm gonna reveal you one of the worst kept secret of the Amalfi coast... On a lively & colorful beach, there's an always full restaurant, serving the best spaghetti with zucchini in the world.

I'm obviously talking about Maria Grazia on Nerano beach.

The recipe is secret &, despite the many tries, no one can make spaghetti with zucchini in the same way.

What I can tell you is that even though it seems to be eggs in the sauce, there are not. The creamy, tasty, thick sauce is made by a secret mix of different cheeses.

Book in advance, ask for a table on the front raw overlooking the beach (not only you'll have a better view, but it's also cooler) & prepare yourself to enjoy one of the best meals of your life.

As it'll also be one of the heaviest meal of your life, may i suggest you'll have some swimming, snorkeling & diving before ;)

That's exactly what we did btw :)

We raised the anchor in the morning

leaving Positano behind us 

& sailing toward the horizon.

Exploring the coast on our way to Nerano.

Swimming & jumping in the beautiful water...

We eventually arrived in Nerano just in time for lunch.

Just anchor your boat in front of the beach, & the restaurant boat will comme to pick you up.

My beach dress is from L'Antica Sartoria, a very well known boutique in Positano. They actually have several boutiques in Positano plus others in the nearby towns like Amalfi, Capri...

If you're in the area is a perfect spot to treat yourself with a local, fashion souvenir ;)

They have very nice beach dresses, cover-ups & bikinis. Prices can seem high sometimes, but the always have a couple of stands with super-discounted items at the entrance of the store ;))

We took our seats in the cool shadow, enjoying the view of a typical Italian beach,

& sipped on white wine with peaches, a local specialty, while waiting for our main course to arrive.

Cheers! :)

& here they are, the famous spaghetti con le zucchine di Maria Grazia!

& the money shot :)

They also have very yummy mixed appetizers (mozzarella, fried vegetables, potato croquettes, eggplant balls...), but I suggest to take them after the main course instead of before, so that you'll still be able to enjoy the spaghetti with zucchini, it would be to heavy otherwise ;)

Happy & relaxed we took the sea again to come back home :)
