Read moreHorrible.. our worst meal of the trip.. foodies beware.. a tourist trap.. we should have known better having to pay 80€ for a table of 2, and you have to cancel 48 hours ahead of time.. but we figured it was finer dining and we wanted to have 1 nice meal.. well we struck out.. the wine was gross, the raviolis also gross.. the dough was hard & the filling was gritty.. I ate 1 and was done with it.. the only good part was the clam sauce it was served in which i used the bread (which also not good) to soak it up.. my friend had the gnocchi which was better than mine but also not good.. they were harder/gritty.. not the fluffy clouds you would expect while dining in Italy.. I really wanted tiramisu so i figured.. hey they can't mess that up too, and we wanted to make sure we reached out minimum of 75€ a person(also like is that a joke.. should have also known better with that).. I was wrong.. literally just tasted like I was taking a shot of rum and brandy / whatever alcohol they used.. by the time we got there at 7:30 for our reservation forget even enjoying the view because it was just pitch black outside... we were really trying to find good local, authentic gems on this trip.. and this was NOT it.. money NOT well spend & there's nothing worse than spending money on food you hated.. i have NO idea why this was rated so well..
Update: replying to the chefs response.. 1. Point proven with that response 2. Sir i truly wish I did not dine with you but I unfortunately did on September 19th, so you might want to recheck the reservation list. This review was intended for you, not “your competitor” 3. Following up with your “drink less in the evening” did you miss the part where we didn’t even finish the wine...
Read moreThis is a very small restaurant located quite far away from the main harbour. Staff were friendly and food was okay, but definitely overpriced. My partner and I were very keen to visit this restaurant after reading some amazing reviews, however, we were disappointed when we arrived. The restaurant’s website claims it to be the most romantic restaurant in Italy and 6th most romantic in the world, however this is a bit of a stretch. The restaurant is very small, accommodating only around 6 tables in total, 5 of which had a sea view. Since we visited for dinner, we couldn’t appreciate the views very much as it was dark outside, but I imagine it to be lovely during the day. The food was pretty good, my partner ordered the lasagne and I had the shrimps (I thought I was ordering prawns as stated on the menu, but I was presented with shrimps). The lasagne was very good, but I was far from delighted with my seafood as it wasn’t as was described on the menu and was simply overpriced. Albeit, I thoroughly enjoyed the tiramisu, and ended up getting another! The website asks for a €40pp deposit when making a reservation, which can be reached rather comfortably, however this restaurant is not ‘high end’ enough to demand such high deposits. There are plenty of other restaurants in Amalfi serving cheaper food, in more convenient locations with no deposit requirement. Overall, I didn’t have a terrible experience, but it did not live up to the standards I was expecting after reading so many raving reviews about it. It essentially felt like I was sat in someone’s living room that had been rearranged to look like a restaurant with average food and cheap table/chairs etc, making this experience far from ‘the most...
