At Trattoria Amalfi, Sandra and Gerardo are accompanied by their son, Gerardo, Jr., and their daughters, Jessica and Sabrina, and will serve up some of the most delicious Italian fare, “family style,” in an atmosphere that is undoubtedly authentic. Guests at Trattoria Amalfi will be awed by a spectacular array of Italian wall murals (some of which were hand painted by Woodbury School art teacher, Mary Lou Melanson-Sears), flowing greenery, and glistening, white columns. The delicious aromas of fresh herbs, cheeses, garlic, and good-quality olive oil will arouse the appetite, while relaxing Italian music plays gently on speakers overhead.
With all the senses peaked, customers can enjoy a glass of their favorite beverage while a passionate Cammarano and his sous chefs work to create an impressive meal that promises to leave guests with a craving to return. “We have many repeat customers,” noted Cammarano, who also said that each one has a favorite offering. “Some say that we have the best veal in town. Others love the tomato sauce. But I think the most popular item we serve is our stuffed pork chops. We use fresh, center-cut pork and prepare the dish in a delicious Marsala wine,” he described. Many of the ingredients that go into the Amalfi signature dishes are imported from Italy. Plum tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, prosciutto, pastas, and many of the cheeses are brought in weekly through companies such as Accardi.
