Such a lovely hidden gem in Praiano. If you’re looking for a truly authentic Italian seafood experience this is it. We were surrounded by locals so that confirms it. The vongole pasta was delicious and could taste how it was fresh/homemade, same goes with prawn pasta. The setting at sunset was spectacular and left us wanting to go again. I recommend you go early as it does get busy and people wait in line all night. Category: Seaside restaurant, tourist area. There were a few differences between this trattoria and most of the others in this seaside grotto: it was busier, many of the guests seemed to be locals, and there were people waiting for tables. Speaking of the grotto, the restaurant is nestled — somewhat Petra-like — into an immense, soaring rock wall and the tables are sheltered by the overhang of the rock. Yet just beyond the rock is the beach (also rocky) and lagoon from which the water taxis come and go. It was a thoroughly enjoyable setting for our dinner, which was aided by the wine list, which offered sufficient choices under 40 Euros (our sweetspot for restaurant wine). In fact, we chose a tasty, tannicy local bottle for 20E (we always try to drink the local wine in Europe). It’s simply not necessary to spend much money on wine in Italy. It was hard to choose from the menu’s wide range of seafood-centric choices. I loved my order of tiny sautéed clams and especially the bread soaked in the juice at the bottom of the bowl. Sarah and our friend loved their Parmigiana di Melanzane (aka in the USA by the far less romantic name: eggplant parmesan, but sans pasta). It was the best I ever tasted, by far, soft, gooey, delicious. My other friend loved his Misto de Pesce Marinato (mixed marinated seafood). For my main, I chose the house-made Linguine agli Scampi 🍤 . The fresh scampi were presented in their shells, which made for a more interactive and delicious meal (don’t make the common American mistake of confusing scampi, which are like little lobsters, with shrimp). The pasta was perfectly toothsome. Sarah enjoyed her Polpo, Patate e Verdure Croccanti (octopus with potatoes and crunchy veg), which was an antipasti, beautifully presented. Our friends enjoyed their Gnocchi Pomodoro and Scialatiella (a short, thick, flat noodle that originated in Amalfi) con Gamberetti e Rucola. Excellent service at typical Italian speed. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice During our recent trip to Italy, we had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria da Armandino, and it turned out to be one of the standout culinary experiences of our journey. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Armandino himself, setting the tone for an unforgettable lunch. Armandino's hospitality was matched by his impeccable recommendations. We followed his suggestion and ordered the Shrimp Risotto, which was nothing short of spectacular. The risotto was perfectly cooked, creamy with just the right texture, and the shrimp were fresh and flavorful, creating a harmonious blend that delighted our taste buds. Every element of our dining experience—from the friendly atmosphere to the exquisite cuisine—was top-notch. We wholeheartedly rank Trattoria da Armandino as one of the best restaurants we visited during our Italian adventure. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic flavors and genuine hospitality.

Cute, vibey spot by the water with great views and a welcoming staff. The grandpa/owner was more than welcoming, and we felt like family. Half bottles of wine was nice as well. Wow. Get the grilled anchovies. Youll thank me later. All the pasta were cooked perfectly and the seafood tasted amazingly fresh. Probably one of the most fresh ones we’ve had on the trip. Its a bit out of the way for most, but it seems to be a nice hidden gem/locals spot. Definitely coming back here next time we’re in amalfi coast.

10/10 experience, the best meal that we had our entire trip to Praiano! A friend recommended Da Armandino to us and almost every single local that we met also spoke very highly of the food, service, and view and let’s just say that it did not disappoint! The best dish that we had was the shrimp pasta (Scialatielli con gamberetti e rucola). The shrimp here is different than shrimp that we are used to in the United States as it was similar in consistency, flavor, and taste to that of lobster which made it all the better. A week later I’m still talking about this pasta, I can’t wait to go back!!!
