La Torre | Slow Food Restaurant in Massa Lubrense
Situated in the charming hamlet of Annunziata in Massa Lubrense, with enchanting views of an ancient Saracen watch tower and 16th century church, Ristorante La Torre One Fire is a favourite neighbourhood place, and celebrated part of the Slow Food community in Italy. The setting is lovely any time of day, but evenings are my favorite, when dining al fresco on the flower-laden terrace under the soft light of the moon —casts a glow, and the whole ambiance becomes something magical.
The proprietors, husband-and-wife team, Tonino Mazzola and chef Maria Aprea, take pride in serving up the delicious classic dishes of the Sorrento Peninsula —thoughtfully crafted with traditional cooking methods and the very-best ingredients from the local farms, food artisans and producers. Their devotion to the Slow Food Movement is honorable and inspiring, and certainly the core reason their restaurant is considered a “home away from home,” so to speak, for many of the neighbourhood folk —who can’t get enough of chef Maria’s homestyle cooking. And a must-do for savvy travellers who take pleasure in delicious, authentic dining experiences.
