When life gives you lemons, make more than just lemonades. In fact, you should just go above and beyond, literally, to find the spots away from the madness of the tourist town of Positano and venture to where you can have some quiet time, beautiful views, and best of all, the lemon delight, the national dessert of the Amalfi Coast. 

Il Tridente, the hotel restaurant of the Hotel Poseidon, is no stranger to Instagrammer-wannabes not only because of its idyllic views of the island but also the green vines that seep through their outdoor terrace providing that much needed shade in the middle of the summer heat. 

We soaked in the panoramic views while lunching on fresh seafood and pasta. Typical dishes of the Amalfi are anything that is made up of lemons and the scialatielli ai frutti di mare, seafood made with fresh pasta. Don't fret though, there are many opportunities to burn off those calories when discovering various villages in the Amalfi Coast. So go ahead, savor what this Italian coast has to offer!
