Un Piano nel Cielo

Un Piano Nel Cielo is a Michelin one-star restaurant perched on a panoramic terrace in Praiano on the Amalfi Coast, offering views of the sea from both outdoor seating and a dining room with large windows. The kitchen draws heavily from the local territory, presenting Mediterranean and contemporary Campanian cuisine that celebrates seasonal rhythms and regional products. Executive Chef Leopoldo Elefante, who has led the restaurant since 2017 and trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, crafts dishes that balance tradition with creative renewal. The menu highlights fresh seafood and renowned local meats like saddle of lamb accompanied by fresh peas and grilled polenta. Signature plates include tagliolini with shrimp, Amalfi lemon, and dill; veal cheek tortello with Amalfi saffron and Provolone del Monaco cheese; and squid paired with eggplant, fermented raspberry, and buffalo mozzarella. Guests can choose between two tasting menus: a five-course menu reflecting local territory, and a seven-course menu featuring more experimental techniques and ingredients. Fresh bread and sweets are made daily in-house, and an extensive wine cellar complements expert sommelier-paired selections, including waters. Vegetarian menus and gluten-free desserts accommodate dietary preferences.
