    Catch of the day

    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!

    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.

    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.”

The most tasty meatballs and extremely flavorful roasted chicken and potatoes. Complimentary potatoes pastry with melted cheese is served with your meal. Then a complimentary dessert of the decadent lemon cream, flakey cake with chocolate chip morsels sprinkled in. MUST TRY this place. Best of luck to the owners. A gem in Amalfi.

    La Taverna dei Briganti served us the best meal that we had our entire 10 day trip of Italy, hands…read moredown! The restaurant is located in Pogerola, a 15-min SITA bus ride from the center of Amalfi and is TOTALLY worth the trip. To get to it, take the SITA bus from the port of Amalfi towards Pogerola and get off at Pogerola. Walk down the road and you will see a sign pointing down a flight of stairs advertising the restaurant- you will likely not be able to see the restaurant from the road- and descend those stairs to get to this amazing restaurant. The ambiance is rustic and romantic- it has a large fireplace in the dining room with lots of wood accents and has many lit candles. It is located essentially on the side of the mountain and one wall is completely glass looking onto a patio with even more seating and has a spectacular view of Amalfi and the sea- at night you can see the lights from the fishing boats and from the islands off the coast- and is beautiful. I'm sure in the summer the patio area would be completely amazing as well. The food was excellent, the pasta (as most pastas in Italy) is hand-made and fresh with local ingredients. I had the oricchiete with sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil and my boyfriend had the bolognese and both were amazing. For the main course we shared a plate of their grilled meats- their house specialty- and they were literally the best meats we had ever had! They are prepared on a grill that is open and visible to the customer by an older man who you can see puts great pride and labor into the process. The meats come out impeccably flavored, perfectly cooked, and are literally life-changing. The service was also great, the waitress was attentive but not overbearing and the owner came by the table to greet us and was extremely welcoming and nice. When we got back to the states we told everyone we knew about La Taverna dei Briganti and we would tell anyone else that is was simply the best we've experienced and would recommend this place to anyone!

She said her steak was disappointing. It was "dry and stringy". But for those of us who ordered fish as our main courses, it was perfection. Maybe seafood is their strength. Absolutely LOVED the Medallion of mozzarella in carrozza on tomato coulis and black olive sand. I could have made an entire meal out of that. We then had the pasta linguine with "scapece" zucchini and burrata cheese from Monti Lattari. Highly recommend. Came out beautifully. I was too impatient to eat it that I forgot to take a pic first. It was beautifully plated though. I had the Wood-smoked red snapper fillet. It had a semolina, lemon and saffron crust, and rested upon roasted potato and basil cream. Delicious. Perfectly cooked. I took a bite of the Sea bass fillet with orange sauce and capers. The oranges are grown in the Sorrento garden. I liked the sea bass even more than my own. I've been to Sorrento 4x now and this was easily my favorite meal I've ever had here.
