The Rooftop Guide picks Dry Martini among the Coast's rooftops
The international rooftop bar guide lists the Dry Martini Sorrento terrace among its Amalfi Coast addresses, calling it «a true temple of mixology».
This one, like the press coverage, is not a plaque: it is an editorial selection. It is still worth telling, because it comes from someone who knows terraces.
The Rooftop Guide is an international guide curated by Hans Ebenman, who says he has visited more than five hundred rooftop bars since 2015. It gives no scores and no positions: choosing, or not choosing, is the whole of its verdict. On the page devoted to the Amalfi Coast sits the Dry Martini Sorrento terrace, described as «a true temple of mixology» with a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view.
It is worth explaining what three hundred and sixty degrees means here: the Gulf of Naples on one side, Vesuvius ahead, the Lattari mountains behind and the hotel gardens below.
There is no shortage of panoramic terraces on this coast: that is both the advantage and the problem of the Amalfi Coast. The view alone no longer sets anyone apart. Which is why a selection that weighs the panorama together with what is in the glass matters more to us than a ranking built on the postcard alone.
