“Spaghetti alla Nerano” take their name from the town of Nerano, a fishing village located between the Lattari Mountains, Massa Lubrense and Positano. The birth is attributed to the cuisine of a historic restaurant in the bay Ristorante Maria Grazia, which with the union of a few simple ingredients was able to create the dish that won over Totò and Eduardo De Filippo, becoming rightfully part of the typical traditional dishes. Spaghetti alla Nerano is a pasta dish made with spaghetti, fried zucchinis, provolone del Monaco and Parmesan. Among the many attributions circulating, the main one points to a restaurant owner named Maria Grazia in the mid-1950s.
