Ristorante d'Aiello - In the center of Positano

D’Aiello family has a long history in hospitality and catering services, since 1936, when Michelina and Pietro D’Aiello decide to start a small accomodation business in their home.

Nonna Michelina born in America from Italian parents, still a young girl returns to Positano with her uncles, who buy the house, today the central body of the hotel.

She married Pietro D’Aiello, who also had returned from the United States to run the Margherita hotel, to which a restaurant will later be annexed. From the union four children are born: Vito, Raffaele, Maria and Carolina.

At the outbreak of World War II, tourism in Positano has not yet taken off and the small fishing village remains mostly away from the conflict, hosting artists and writers fleeing hostilities.

With the arrival of the allied forces to liberate Italy, the Savoia hotel is requisitioned for strategic reasons by the British, who remain enchanted by the place appreciating its hospitality.

Immediately after the war, the hotel was enlarged by the four D’Aiello brothers, buying a new wing and building another floor. The first guests are the families of the same British and American soldiers and artists who had appreciated it during the war.

After four generations thanks to dedication and attention to detail, the Hotel Savoia is a pleasant and authentic place, aimed at by a continuous innovation in respect of tradition.

With the enthusiasm that has always distinguished us, we are happy to welcome you to our Restaurant D’Aiello, so called to honor our ancestors.
