Big bottles of beer for 2.50€!!!!
Harry L.

Oh my god I don't even know where to start. My good friend and I came here after a weary day of planes and trains from Nice and we were looking for good pasta around our airbnb. We discovered this gem in the streets of Salerno. Unlike the more touristy cities where people heckle you to try their restaurant (ahem Nice) these guys just chilled and shot the shit with each other until we committed to going in. We were greeted by this jolly Italian fellow (see my picture) and immediately we felt like we had chosen correctly. Ever been to one of those family owned restaurants where the owners just love seeing people happily eating their food? This place is like that! My friend and I ordered 2 beers ( these were huge...2.50€ for 2/3 a liter) and spaghetti ai frutti di mare and regular spaghetti in tomato sauce and calamari fritti. The food was phenomenal. Just look at my pics. The pasta wasn't over seasoned, perfectly al dente and not loaded with salt an instead graciously flavored with the ingredients (seafood and tomatoes really brought the flavor out) and olive oil. The calamari fritti was also super lightly fried and the shrimp inside it was like eating soft shell crab but shrimp! So get this. All that generously portioned delicious food...only 30 euro total. Omfgggggg. I can't eat Italian food back in the states anymore :(

The first restaurant we went to in Salerno. I had no idea what to order. Finally decided on a simple penne with a tomato sauce and egg plant. It was nice. I didn't like that everyone at all the tables around us were smoking. And I noticed there's a cover charge. I did enjoy the meal.

Very tasty Italian food there. Pasta with sea food was amazing. Pizza Quattro Formaggi was excellent too. Visited it a few times during the vacation in Salerno. Prices are normal too.

Was stuck in Salerno for the afternoon. I had the prosciutto and it was very good. I had the Italian fried appetizers and it was okay.

We stumbled across this restaurant one lunchtime whilst exploring Salerno, and it was a nice…read moresurprise. Having been in Italy for a fortnight we were getting a bit tired of pizza & pasta & variations thereof, and were pleasantly surprised by the fish restaurant. The twist with the restaurant is that there is no menu & you are only served what they catch that morning. We had an appetiser menu consisting of marinated anchovies, octopus in a tomato sauce with polenta, seared tuna, croquette with octopus. It was fantastic. In regards to cost we also had two 1/2 Ltrs of house white wine (the choice is only red or white) & total cost was €50. I cannot recommend it enough, if you are a fish lover, go.

Very kind and sincere owner and waiter, which we appreciate very much. Accommodating with the kids…read morefinickyness. The gnocchi sorrentina was one of the best I've had while living in Italy. The house wine was ok but priced accordingly. They didnt have coffee available for the end of the meal which was surprising. The fish of the day and pasta were very good and not overpriced. My only complaint is that when we ordered the appetizer of the house (antipasti della casa) it is in the menu as "antipasti della casa (5 portions) 13euro" we ordered this, he asked how many portions 4?, 5? We repeated yes the 5. The appetizer was very nice, but when the bill came it was 65 euro for it. In other words they charged 13 euro per portion, not per appetizer, as it is written of course in the menu. This was pretty shocking as it was good but absolutely overpriced and very misleading, though I don't feel they were trying to be dishonest.
