Our waiter knew just enough English and we knew just enough Spanish/ Italian to get by. The menu here is QR code, but there is little cell reception there for our internet to work. Overall the food was delicious. This penne was so cheesy and tomatoey. The mussels were cooked in a simple salt and pepper broth really allowing their natural flavors to pop. Both the mussels and the lemons were from the Almafi coast!

Its location near the amphitheater entrance of the Pompeii Archeological Park makes it very easy to find. The food was fantastic, the pasta was perfect. The service was absolutely top-notch as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

Our waiter, who is the son of Mamma Rosa, also helped us discover a new way to eat lemon cake: spray it with salted water to really bring out the sweet and tangy flavours. If we visit the Amalfi Coast again, I hope to stay a few days in Salerno so I can visit Mamma Rosa everyday.

We were recommended this restaurant by a local shop vendor who was not intrested in selling us touristy items but was intrested in us having an authentic experience. The pasta was excellent as could be expected for this region the portions were much healthier than in other restaurants we had recently eaten in. Bread was served to the table without us being charged for it like we were finding in some of the other more touristy locations. We got to the restaurant earlier than their opening time by about 30 minutes and they were accommodating enough to open up, allowing us to sit down and start serving us even though they had not officially opened this was a much different experience than we found and other restaurants who refuse to open their doors before official opening time. Because this is the famous pottery district all of their dinner plates were customized with the restaurant name which added to the experience in a positive way.

Oh my god I don't even know where to start. My good friend and I came here after a weary day of…read moreplanes 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 :(

We've been eating as much bruschetta as possible; it's been amazing at each of these places. Loved it here as well. The bufalo mozzarella is what I enjoyed. It's chopped in cubes here with the fresh tomatoes and makes it easy to eat. We also had the lasagna. We were not super hungry and it was just enough between both of them to fill us both; we enjoyed it. This can be as quick as you need it. I think we were in and out in 30 minutes but we could have stayed longer if we wanted. I took a picture of my wife here too so you can see. We were essentially up an alley way but it was perfect and tucked in; you would never notice it's a restaurant if you weren't looking for it.

It was a little hipster and reminded me of Philly, with chalkboards on the wall boasting TONS of interesting pizza varieties (even dessert varieties!). We weren't feeling too creative so stuck with our favorite classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella. We sat in the nice little enclosed outdoor patio area and the guy brought us each a personal pizza in a cute wooden box and two mini Cokes. I was a little confused cause I thought it was gonna be more of a "pocket" style, like a calzone. But don't get me wrong, it could definitely still be folded "portafoglio" style. Prices were reasonable. Honestly, this pizza was better than the one we had in Naples. I liked the sauce much better and it had the perfect amount of cheese. Plus, that crust was SO good...nice and pillowy, yet held up well to the toppings.
