Redefining al Fresco Dining

Dating back to its early days when the famous Sfogliatella Santa Rosa was created by the sisters within the monastery’s walls, Monastero Santa Rosa has been a place of culinary innovation. Today, this focus remains at the monastery, drawing on its long history to serve guests world class meals in a world class location. The culinary experience at Monastero Santa Rosa is a feast for all senses, giving guests the ability to soak in the sights and sounds of the Amalfi Coast at any occasion throughout the day. Mornings could not start off in a more serene setting; while sipping a night cap as the moon shines bright over the Salerno Bay may be the perfect end to a perfect day on the Coast. Take a quick break from the sunshine to take a relaxed lunch at Il Mezzogiorno Poolside Café or relax outside at La Brocca Bar and watch day turn to dusk and dusk to starry night. All throughout the property guests will find special spaces to indulge and imbibe, but the experience would not be complete without food and drink to match, and the culinary treats throughout the hotel coming from Santa Rosa’s Michelin-Starred kitchen are as unique as the monastery itself. A well-curated mix of traditional and contemporary Campanian fare, as well as inspiration drawn from the monastic roots of the hotel, help define the gastronomic philosophy, while the on-display cantina filled with Italian treasures can offer the perfect complement to any meal.

Ristorante il Refettorio

At Michelin-starred Il Refettorio, Chef Alfonso Crescenzo masterfully marries tradition and technique, using his passion for the area’s bounty and wide knowledge of the Campanian kitchen to deliver an experience unlike any other on the coast.  Chef Crescenzo’s passion for the kitchen began at a very young age, cooking with his grandmother for the entire family in the local village of Sarno, where his family still resides and farms their own Terre Lavorate produce, following the challenging, but worthwhile, practices of pristine biological farming.  His pursuit of knowledge subsequently took him all over the world, but it is in his native environment that he finds himself again, using his vast experience and repertoire of culinary skills to thrive while helming the kitchen of Il Refettorio and Monastero Santa Rosa.

 Organic Gardens

Rich with volcanic soil, kissed with sunshine, and caressed with seaside breezes; some say there is no better place for produce than the area around Mount Vesuvius. The terraced garden located above Monastero Santa Rosa benefits from these elements and is where we grow a seasonal bounty of fruits and vegetables that are harvested when ripe and used throughout the hotel.
