Only a few minor flaws, but otherwise amazing. The food was delicious, the staff attentive, but not pushy at all. The portion sizes were on the smaller side (see fotos) but they likely expect diners to order multiple courses. I had the octopus which was very tasty and the pasta with clams. The pasta was dried not fresh and about 1.5-2 minutes under cooked, but not worth complaining about. I was raised by my Italian grandmother and make fresh pasta at home for decades. I know what I am saying. Considering that I arrived before the evening rush, I think it is worth mentioning. Two other minor points- I asked for crushed red pepper and cheese - a sin I know - the waitress complied, but asked if I was sure. (Funny!) They charged me for a 3rd glass of wine that I never ordered. So check your bill! When I brought that to their attention, they offered to correct the bill. I instead had them bring the glass of wine. When they brought my change, they rounded down the bill by $2 There is also a $4 service charge, which is common. So a fine meal prepared by humans whom are not perfect. They are worthy of your patronage. We loved our lunch here today. The welcome was excellent & explanation of daily specials was great. The menu is not so big which we like but we still found numerous things we wanted to eat. We settled on a selection of meats & cheeses to share as a starter. I had the daily special of prawn & ricotta ravioli in lemon sauce - delicious! My husband had the daily special of white fish & linguini also delicious. He had the pannacotta with berries & he said it was one of the best he’d had. The staff were so welcoming & caring. The setting is lovely, a small square slightly off the busy area. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant, it was the highlight of our day trip. I went here for lunch during my trip to the Amalfi Coast, and it was truly one of the best and freshest Italian meals I’ve ever had. I ordered the seafood pasta with handmade noodles and a variety of local seafood, the grilled fish, and the grilled octopus salad – everything was top-notch, incredibly fresh, and perfectly balanced in flavour. I also loved the charming courtyard vibe. It was such a memorable and perfect experience.

On our last night in Italy, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to dine in Amalfi. The restaurant offered a wonderful balance of vegetarian dishes and outstanding seafood options, each prepared with so much care and flavor. Every course felt authentic and memorable, but the desserts truly stood out — the panna cotta, in particular, was absolutely to die for. A perfect ending to our Italian journey!

Excellent restaurant in a pretty little square very close to the seafront. Very good product, excellently cooked, nice presentation and crazy prices like everywhere in the Amalfi coast. Service efficient and kind. Totally recommend 👍🏻👍🏻
