Ristorante Al Convento Cetara — Restaurant in Cetara

We just had dinner at Al Convento tonight, with a huge disappointment on the quality of the food and the service. The waiter brought us the wrong drink (naturale instead of frizzante water).

Total cost of our meal was 100 euros for 3 people with wine, which was incredibly reasonable. We paid way more for lunch in Positano earlier that day. Highly recommend coming here if you're...

Also the Patrone was very charming. On the other hand first they served the wrong anti Pasti and when I denied it and got crumpy. Also the basic tomato sugo was a burned and has a bitter taste so two meals where bitter. Also the Italian guests where very cosy and charming served, but the tourists not

I love this little place of cetara and it's hard to find that kind of fisherman cuisine. But when you Charme a u per class price, you have to be professional as a...
