    Great service and delicious food. It's in a little quieter square off the main road in Amalfi. The seafood pasta and everything else we had was delicious.

    This is a gem off the beaten path in Amalfi. Amazing food and service! The fish is so fresh and the dishes are so flavorful! I would recommend this to everyone!

    A great spot to have a delicious lunch! They offer an indoor covered area and outdoor dinning. Be prepared to call ahead and reserve a table or wait for a table to open up during lunch rush. All the food was delicious!

    Came to Almafi for a tour from Naples. This restaurant came as a recommendation from the guide, and was everything we were told it would be. Great vibes, great food, definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

    Walked into Al Cancelletto with no reservations as a 3 top. Ended up waiting about 20min for a table and was offered a glass of Prosecco as we waited, although I don't drink this was a kind gesture. Upon sitting at the table we were greeted by our waiter Stefano who was straight up the man. Attentive, good energy, informative about the menu and guided us through the night which turned out to be spectacular. All of the staff is very kind and made us feel welcome. Food was amazing across the board, simple, delicious, and filling. Octopus, Peppered Mussels, Catch of the day all smash hits. Finished the meal with the Lemon Cake which almost brought a tear to my eye because it was so good. Will definitely be coming back, don't sleep on Al Cancelletto!

    This is a cute little spot off of the main drag. The pastas were fresh and good but the meatballs were out of this world!! Seriously, get them, you won't be disappointed. Also the service was great. My husband even forgot his Ray-Bans on the table and when we came back the next day the staff had them for us! What a gem!

    What an amazing recommendation from my b&b host. This local Italian spot was off the busy Main Street and probably one of my favorite meals this trip. I'm going to suggest the Scitielli con frutta di mare and finish the meal with some amazing Caramel panacotta.

    Mixed grill for 2!

    We had such an incredible experience here, we had to return. The seafood is amazing. Everything is so fresh and prepared perfectly. They will bring you a big tray of fish and seafood to choose from and then you can decide how you want it prepared. The mixed grill is impeccable and the lobster and linguine in tomato sauce is the best anywhere! The Caprese lemon cake was just perfect ending. These folks know what they are doing!

    Delicious local wine

    You're in Italy, very few bad options. Al Cancelletto was suggested by the owner of our hotel. To say the food was stellar would be an understatement. All of the dishes were perfectly cooked and the waiter was very forgiving of our poor Italian. I've included pics of our food and the local wine.

    Amazing food!!! A hidden Gem amongst the tourist traps. The food is amazing, presentation, and wine pairing make for a remarkable evening.

    Try the grilled octopus appetizer (even if you are not typically a fan of octopus)--the seafood is clearly fresh and so tasty.

We did manage to throttle back and not eat all of it lol, as we wanted to still enjoy our starter and pizza. The oils provided were the perfect compliment for the bread, the salad (and the crust of the pizza). Salad was fresh and light. Pizza rolled out next and we still believe this to be the best pizza we ever had. Not heavy, but filling. The flavors were so rich and bright. Of course I had to have a local beer which paired well. The seating was outside, which was covered in an ivy like feel. It was lemon trees providing adequate sun coverage and of course looked beautiful. We would highly recommend checking out Donna Stella if you're in Amalfi.

It is kind of hidden away and looks almost like you are entering someone's property. There was a wait but they seemed to remember faces and I did get seated after about 30 minutes, though they did seem pretty busy for a Sunday night. I ordered the lemon ravioli since I had been eating a lot of pizza and read that people enjoyed it. In my opinion, the lemon ravioli didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked, it seemed a little bland and didn't really taste like there was much lemon flavor and the quantity was a little small. Cooked well though. I think I would come back again but order the pizza instead. They did have a longer wait if you didn't make a reservation. Their lemon tiramisu (8€) was definitely worth it. Very creamy and not too sweet and had more of that lemon flavor that I was looking for. I wish I had come in a group, so they I could have tried more things, but no worries that can be next time.

    This was the best meal we had on our recent Italy trip!…read more While the restaurant doesn't offer a seaside view, we sat in the atrium with a lovely evening light and heaters. We started with an amuse-bouche (compliments of the chef), which was a parmesan cracker with ricotta. We shared two appetizers among the four of us - a tuna carpaccio in citrus fruit and poached eggs with black truffle. The poached egg came in a sauce that was totally delicious and mop-able with bread. The tuna was fantastic and very light. For the main, our table split the pasta stuffed with burrata and black truffle and the risotto with red shrimp in lemon sauce. Absolutely incredible! The risotto was soooo refreshing and light and cooked perfectly. The truffle pasta was full umami flavor and a flavor party. We ended with delicious desserts, my husband got the hazelnut coffee which he loved and I got a lemon assortment. This had a lemon cream brulee sort of preparation which I loved. The wines here were also fantastic and the service prompt and great!

They don't have anything marked GF on their menu but the server walked me through what I could have. My friend and I started with the La Caprese and they provided me with a GF baguette. For my entree I had the zucchini GF pasta. The pasta was good but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. It wasn't my favorite. My friend ordered the La Genovese with GF pasta and it was really enjoyable. They only had 1 GF dessert so we opted to get the lemon sorbet. They also brought out a few GF candies as well. Overall the service and views were really nice but I wasn't a fan of my entree.

We were able to get lunch time reservations and chose the "light lunch" of 4 fish courses for 100 euro each.

Tony provided impeccable service and explanations and Antonio, the chef, even came to the table multiple times to deliver his works of art cuisine. Speaking of art, the restaurant is essentially an art gallery. Beautiful and unique! Cannot recommend highly enough!

They do offer gluten free and vegetarian options but not together. There is a tasting option with 7 courses or à la carte. They do take a deposit of $120 per person 3 days before your reservation in case you cancel. The restaurant is centrally located and easy to get to. You have to ring the bell to enter. They take your coat after you sit at the table. The decorations are of the 12th century applied arts. I had to order à la carte due to being a vegetarian and GF but my friend ordered from the tasting menu. The food and service were wonderful. We both ordered a glass of wine - I had the moscato. They have GF bread that was brought to the table. It was also made with the bruschetta. For my courses, I had the omelette with broccoli, pumpkin GF pasta, buffalo cheese with tomato under lemon leaves, a palate cleanser of strawberry ice cream, and chocolate mousse. We even got to try their Michelin best dessert of 2026 which was the lemon soufflé. It was decadent and delicious. We even had a tour of the kitchen to see the artwork on the ceiling. Overall our experience was cozy and sophisticated with its lemon infused dishes. Would highly recommend!
