Much like its spiritual cousin in fictional queens nyc, McMarenn's is a small family owned…read moreestablishment who's determination, grit, and inventiveness, far outweigh any concerns the proprietors may have about copyright law. If you want to make it, you have to do whatever it takes (I guess). In the case of McMarenn's that includes selling beer and mixed drinks to go along with their hamburgers and sandwiches. Their signature offering is the 10 or 15 sauces that they proudly display on the counter. These are available to be added to any sandwich and include your regular mustard and ketchup staples, as well some exotic surprises like "Mexican sauce". Since the person minding the counter spoke no English, I basically let her choose whatever she thought was good. Which was a grilled Panini with salami, something breaded, grilled peppers, mozzarella, and mustard. It was very big, well grilled, and overall quite decent. If I could communicate better, it probably would have come out more to my liking. But I can't deduct any points for that. I topped it off with the Heineken. Altogether I think it came to 7 1/2 euros. A good deal in my book. Lacking much of the square footage and all of the Soul Glo of McDougal's, McMarenn's still packs a punch. Sure they may be taking some liberties with the logo, but nobody in Ottaviano cares and neither do I.

From the owner: Il locale è in perfetto stile Irish. Il nostro cavallo di battaglia è il panino big: lungo 60 cm…read moreper un peso di 4,5kg.

5 star service! The owner and his son were all super friendly and could speak a little English…read more The pastas was super delicious. I tried the Arrabbiata, spaghetti with clams, spaghetti with lemon garlic (€10 each). I was also informed that their sandwich breads are also made with sourdough which looked pretty good as well. And the house wine is one of my favorite wines. As a non wine drinker, this wine wasn't too heavy or "alcohol tasting" and had a little bit of a fermentation fizz. And the owner grows his own grapes right outside on the terrace. (€3 a glass or €9 bottle) The food takes a min to come out as they are cooking it fresh for you. The only thing I wouldn't suggest is the desserts. The tiramisu is a big skip and the pear and ricotta cheesecake was just okay. Good pear flavor but not a real cheesecake. Both were subpar. Stick with the wine! Random spot with a unassuming name, but it's worth going to if your in the Amalfi area.

This was the best meal we had during our 2 week trip in Italy. The owner's son, who was very…read morefriendly, waited on us and also cooked the food. His father made the wine, which was a delightful light slightly effervescent red. The crust on the pizza capricciosa was amazing and the toppings all were delicious, including perfectly salty and flavorful whole olives. The "Crazy Antipasto" cane with tasty meats, cheeses, and some fried items. My pasta dish with tomato sauce, sausage and veggies was really good. Not pictured is the pomodoro salad, which was made up of delicious tomatoes, basil and olive oil. They grow their own basil right there and seem to grow many of their vegetables. I wished we could've tried all their dishes! The name nay be unusual but I highly recommend this restaurant.
