The Amalfi Way

Our Story

Hailing from Naples, Head Chef and Owner Luigi Esposito trained in perfecting Italian cuisine since he was 8 years old, selling pizza fritta alongside his Nonna Rosa. At age 11, he was schooled in the art of pizzas and was a member of the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani by 15.

The Amalfi Way is his love letter to the iconic Southern Italy destination, well-known for it’s Mediterranean climate, seafood dishes & limoncello production. Here you can enjoy honest Italian food with a focus on fresh seafood, homemade pasta and traditional desserts.

The Venue

Inspired by the seductive coastline of Italy, The Amalfi Way is a new restaurant located on the prestigious Heritage Listed Finger Wharf in Woolloomooloo.

Lemon trees and hand-painted ceramics transport you instantly to the local charm of the Amalfi Coast.

The Amalfi Way brings you a slice of Italy and allows you to enjoy, “I Sapori Naturali “- the taste of traditional dishes prepared with only the best ingredients.

Amalfi Living

It has been said, that when you are on The Amalfi Coast, it is like a dream, but it is not until you return home, that you start dreaming of it.

One of Italy’s most memorable destinations, this Mediterranean hotspot is famed for its production of limoncello liqueur and some of the world’s finest seafood cuisine.
