Felicia’s Home Restaurant — Restaurant in Tramonti

A Delightful Journey through Flavor and History in Campania

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

My recent cooking experience in Campania, Italy, hosted by Felicia at her enchanting country house, was an absolute treasure. Under the serene ambiance of a wine pergola, we embarked on a culinary adventure that left an indelible mark on my heart.

From the outset, it was clear that this was no ordinary dining experience. Felicia's home exudes warmth, memories, and history, making every corner of the beautiful villa a testament to her rich heritage. Nestled atop a picturesque mountain, the views that unfurled as we ascended the winding roads over Naples were truly breathtaking. If you're driving to the location, be prepared for steep roads, but trust me, the awe-inspiring scenery and photo opportunities along the way are well worth it.

The experience began with a stroll through Felicia's garden, where I anticipated getting hands-on with the very ingredients that would grace our pizzas. While there was an informative garden tour, I had hoped for a more immersive experience in picking ingredients like tomatoes, and basil – elements that later graced our delectable pizzas, as well as potatoes which grow in the garden amongst many other vegetables and fruits. Nonetheless, the garden itself was a testament to Felicia's dedication to fresh and local produce.

The pizza-making session that followed was an absolute highlight, especially for the kids. Felicia's engaging guidance turned kneading dough and layering ingredients into a joyful and educational experience. The camaraderie we shared under the pergola, accompanied by the wafting aroma of wood-fired pizzas, was nothing short of magical. Every element of the meal was meticulously prepared, a testament to Felicia's passion for cooking and hosting.

What truly made this experience unforgettable was the connection we formed with Felicia and her home. With a heart full of history and love, Felicia opened her doors to us, inviting us into an authentic Italian home that felt like a true privilege. Her genuine passion for both cooking and hosting radiated in every interaction, making us feel like cherished guests.

In the world of culinary experiences, Felicia's cooking adventure stands as a shining example of authenticity and hospitality. This journey through flavor and history not only delighted our palates but also enriched our souls. Grazie mille, Felicia, for sharing your passion, your home, and your heritage with us. This was an experience that will forever hold a special place...

My daughter and I had the pleasure of visiting Felicia’s Home Restaurant on June 17th and it’s a day I will always remember, always cherish, and will always hold dear to my heart. Felicia, you were BORN to do this and your daughter, Giovanna, is an angel for nudging you onto this entrepreneurial journey.

I had found @amalficoast_home_restaurant randomly on Instagram since my “suggested for you” was being flooded with Italy content prior to our trip. I looked in the comment section and saw that they were responding to all inquiries on how to book so I went from there. It was my splurge for the trip and I would’ve spent more.

Felicia welcomed us when our taxi arrived and shared the history of the farmhouse that dated back to the 1600’s. She’s a fourth generation to be in the home and we had the honor of meeting her parents who still reside there as well. They were such delights. The farmhouse and its land was unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and everything you eat comes directly from it, I could’ve stayed there forever.

Being that I was with my little daughter, Bella, she shared her emotions when speaking of her daughter. Giovanna was who saw the beaming light of potential her mom had within. Felicia used to work in kitchens for others in Amalfi and as her daughter had the tools to maneuver in today’s technology world, she nudged her mom to work for herself and I’m grateful she did.

This day wasn’t just about learning how to make tiramisu, parmigiana, and pasta, it was an unmatched experience. The way that Felicia and her family welcomed us into their historic home and treated us like family is a form of hospitality that I don’t think I’ll ever find again. Felicia interacted with my seven year old in such a way that made the experience even more delightful. She had such grace and patience and humor that I would suggest this for any parent to have a special and intimate experience with their little. Bravo Felicia, you are truly living the dream. We can’t wait to prepare delicious meals...

In late September my family and I had a magical experience. On a cool Sunday evening after spending the day in the water along the Amalfi coast we headed up the mountains to Tramonti. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by 4 friendly faces and the most beautiful grounds of various fruit trees full of delights. As soon as we saw the gorgeous table all lit and superbly decorated surrounded by colorful flowers and trees.. we felt like we entered our Italian dream: warm people, incredible views and a special outdoor kitchen set up just for us. We then spent the next few hours with charming Felicia, her incredible daughter, Giavanna and their family members exploring the farm, learning how to make pasta, loving Felicia’s culinary delicacies while laughing and enjoying ourselves tremendously the whole time. Both Felicia and Giavanna have such uplifting energy as they shared their love of what they do and paid attention to every little detail to make sure we were happy and satisfied. They made us feel like family from the onset. So in addition to experiencing a true Italian farm and delicious meal while learning to make unique types of pasta, we made connections for life. We left that evening smiling from ear to ear full of love from our new friends while our tastebuds begged for more of Felicia’s...
