with dishes that offer nouvelle zap, like black ravioli with cuttlefish ink, scampi and
ricotta, or that are unabashedly simple, like the catch of the day served grilled on lemon
leaves. Wine aficionados are likely to find something to try on the 15,000-label list.

runs at least 17 daily services from Piazza Flavio Gioia to Sorrento
(€3.80, 100 minutes) via Positano (€2.50, 50 minutes). It runs at least 24 daily services to
Ravello (€2.50, 25 minutes) and at least nine services to Salerno (€2.50, 1¼ hours).
There are two early-morning connections to Naples (€4.10, two hours), with no services
on Sunday, so you're better off catching a bus to Sorrento and then the Circumvesuviana
train to Naples.
