Summer kitchen in Scala, your hands in the dough, lunch that runs long because nobody's rushing it.

We cook right next to you — not in front of you. By the time you leave, you'll have made something worth eating and spent a day worth remembering.

the experiences

Three menus, one kitchen. You pick what we'll prepare, we set the table, then we cook and eat together.
This is the kind of time you'd have if you knew someone who lived here.

Where you will be

our location in the amalfi coast

Scala sits above Amalfi and Positano - up in the hills, away from the strip. The kitchen is ours.
You'll see the coastline from the table.

Our story

two friends. one kitchen.

We spent years in professional kitchens both in Italy and abroad.
At some point, we found ourselves drawn to something slower: the land, the garden, and the choice felt obvious.

Stop cooking for restaurants.
Start cooking for people.

Madreterra came out of that. A way to keep doing what we love, with people who come to eat well and have a good time.

Benedetto

Started his career as a chef in Amalfi, cooked his way through Italy, then spent four years in Paris between Michelin-starred kitchens.

Pasquale

Spent years in professional kitchens up and down the Amalfi Coast. At some point, cooking for tables he'd never sit at stopped making sense.

What a day looks like

one picture says a thousand words

A few hours, a shared table, and everyone leaves full. That's what it looks like.
