Why Travelers Love Lo Smeraldino
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The food at Lo Smeraldino is absolutely amazing. The seafood is so fresh, and you really shouldn’t order anything else. We were seated at a gorgeous outside table right on the water and the views of Amalfi were insane. If you love seafood, we recommend the Amalfi appetizer which is a delicious mix of fresh raw and cooked seafood. I am leaving 4 stars because the service was not up to the standards that we’ve experienced in the rest of Italy, and the pasta lacked flavour. Still though, highly recommend if you are in Amalfi and want to get a bit further away from the crowds for a delicious meal Had a great time at lo smeraldino which was recommended to my friend group by our hotel hosts. The seafood was fresh and the pasta was chefs kiss. Pizza was also decent and they gave complimentary bread. Tiramisu was light and fluffy and definitely the best dessert Food was just okay and prices were too high for the quality. The staff weren’t very attentive, we had to call them several times for small things. The location right by the sea is great though—it really saves the experience.

Couldn't ask for a better view. Oven roasted pizza was awesome! Not the most attentive wait staff but they did their job. Would return! Had to add the coke because it looks so refreshing! Lol

This is a lovely restaurant with a view tucked away on the quieter part of the Amalfi Port which is very peaceful and picturesque. Very well priced pizza and house wine which we really enjoyed. We booked a table but you could have walked in, and the service was great. Would recommend this lovely place!
