Amalfi with a view

We finally made it to Amalfi after winding, hilly, and breathtaking views of the sea. Amalfi is an amazing town with an energetic feel. Our hotel is in the perfect location, thanks to Erich, personal travel agent extraordinaire. We have a balcony with a view that overlooks the square and the marina. We continue to have the most amazing meals even at the most simplest places. The mom and pop's type restaurants are underrated and the price is certainly right. One of our favorite meals was at Gamma. Erich and I split a smoked mozzarella baked in lemon leaves. Erich had the fresh catch of the day, grouper, and I had the most amazing blue fin tuna. There is no such thing as "no dessert" so of course we were treated to a shot of Limoncello with chocolates to go with it. The next night we went to a 2 person run restaurant and it was fantastic. Erich and I split roasted red peppers with basil and I had the freshest fusilli with cherry tomatoes. Erich has become a fan of the "house" specialty pasta dish. They do not disappoint.
