A delicious meal to welcome us to Salerno!!…read more The gentleman who took our order was fantastic! It was very crowded, busy, and we got there about 45 minutes before closing, but he welcomed us and took such good care of us! I had the bream and my husband had cod with marinara. They were perfection!! The tables were small and crowded, which felt a little tight, but I wouldn't change a thing!

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'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.

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!

I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

We ordered a pasta with zucchini, cheese and pepper (their version of cacio e pepe, if you will); black rice with seafood in a cream sauce (it's called risotto, but not what I'd typically call risotto); and calamari - everything was delicious! We also had a glass of their house red wine, which was very good. At the end of our meal, they gave us two small shot-sized glasses and a bottle of meloncello, which was a perfect way to end a great meal. It's a small restaurant with some outdoor seating, so I'd imagine it can get crowded later on, but it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! Also, the pictures of the outdoor seating looked pretty nice, but it's in a fairly tight alley, so we decided to sit inside.

Avoid like the plague. Disgraceful…read more EDIT: Your disingenuous reply is completely inappropriate. There is no excuse for the horrible, rude behavior of the older lady. It was not a girl (the girl standing there was quite polite and felt bad about her superior's distasteful tone)... The elder lady specifically disrespected me and dismissed me with a clear and emphatic look of scorn before turning her back on me, assuming I'm American (a crime?). An embarrassment of a hospitality owner or employee. I've been all over this amazing country and have only had wonderful experiences... including tonight at the place we went to down the street after this debacle. I was speaking Italian, so certainly no communication problem, and this rude old lady came in and said, "Table for 5?! Hah! This is not McDonald's," and walked away. Wow. Shame on them. Plenty of other good options. First negative restaurant/interpersonal experience ever in this country after coming here a dozen times over the past 25 years.

It was a statistical anomaly that gave us the opportunity to dine at this marvelous establishment…read more My husband and I were looking for a different seafood restaurant nearby, and couldn't find it. The locals told us that the place we were looking for had closed and to try Cuptie. Reluctantly, we took their advice. I am overjoyed that we did. With skepticism, we ordered just two small plates. After our first bite, we were hooked. We ended up getting two more plates! As self-proclaimed food enthusiasts, my husband and I rarely eat twice at the same restaurant when we travel. That way, we can try as much unique food as possible. This is the only place that we returned to during our trip to Italy, here in Sorrento. The food and service was fantastic. I highly recommend the mix seafood salad. The octopus and cuttlefishfish were absolutely superb esspecially considering the price!

Choosing a la carte will take a while to make as it will be made to order (around 20 mins?), while glass counter items are cheaper and just reheated for you should you choose to eat in (yes, from a microwave). You order at the counter then seat yourself wherever. I had the spaghetti con vongole and was utterly shocked by the freshness, not a hint of fishiness, no grit, no sand. Spaghetti was buttery and just the right amount of flavor. Also had the cacio e pepe with mussels. Again, so fresh, so clean. Mussels were *just* cooked so they were super tender. Portions were kind of small, but I thought that was a fair exchange for the quality. We also ordered the seafood risotto from the counter, which was a bigger portion, though not so much seafood, but that was only 5€. Three primis plus large water totaled to only €26. And to think just earlier a nearby restaurant handed me a flier where lunch sets started at €25 per person!
