Ordered the club sandwich, which was two layers of chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a hard boiled egg and honestly, this is exactly what I needed. We've been in Italy for 3-ish days and it seems like every menu serves the same things - pasta and pizza. Just needed a tiny bit of variety and this was perfect. Also came with French fries which were pretty well fried - crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I also ordered a pear juice, which basically tasted like I was drinking a straight pear. Probably a bit of a tourist trap given its location but today, that worked for me read more

Ok so people always say to avoid restaurants in the middle of city centers because they're not good and touristy. Not sure if it's because we were actually starving or if the food was genuinely good but we had a wonderful experience here either way. It's right in front of the Amalfi Cathedral and great for people watching. We got here right before the kitchen was closing around 10pm on a Saturday. We were seated promptly and ordered. What we ordered: - Lemon ravioli with shrimp 7.6/10 pretty good pasta and shrimp, good amount of sauce, tasty - pistachio, ricotta, bologne pizza 7.8/10 again pretty good, could use more ricotta, a bit oily - caprese sandwich 3/10 wish the bread was better, it fell short We stayed until they were closing and no one ever rushed us out or even told us they were closing as everyone was just enjoying their time so that was sweet of them. The waiters and servers were all very friendly and attentive. Be aware that due to the location, it can get very very busy but they are trying their best to serve everyone so be patient and kind. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we would go again. read more

I hope Massimo serves you coz he was fantastic! Food to be enjoyed with tat gorg view of the chapel across is totally Amalfi vibes!

Bistro located directly in front of Amalfi Cathedral. We really enjoyed the gorgeous view of Duomo di Amalfi and the steps leading to it from the Piazza del Duomo, while sipping my cappuccino and munching on the flakiest croissant. They have a full menu and extensive wine list. If I didn't have to return to Sorrento, I would have stayed for dinner. I bet the evening view is even more amazing. Friendly waitress. The service is a bit slow, but we were not in a rush and kind of glad to have time to take it all in. read more

Bistro Flli Pansa is located in the middle of the Amalfi town center, right in front of the church. All the seating is outside, and so it's a great spot to people watch. Having had the most amazing pizza in Positano a day earlier I decided to try a margherita pizza here. Margherita Pizza (10 euros) - The pizza here was just ok, and wasn't anywhere as good as the pizza I had a day earlier in Positano. The sauce used here tasted canned, the cheese wasn't the same high quality cheese used at the other place and the crust here wasn't as chewy. Overall I thought the food was just ok. Pricing is reasonable, although the server expects a tip and there is a cover charge here as well. This is a popular spot because of the location. read more

Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Don't believe me, just walk through to the restroom. I peeked in the kitchen, and it was bad yall. This, unfortunately, was only after I'd ordered food. Wish I had taken the time to explore before ordering. Service wasn't bad, but it was dirty, and the food was below average at best. My seafood clam dish was good but had sand/grit and just look at the salad yourself. Wish I wasn't starving after that long ass drive there to eat just anything and so happy it wasn't my last meal driving back... would have been so sad... *did not get sick, thank the most high* read more

Honestly was not impressed by this place AT ALL.. I was so excited for Spaghetti Carbonara our entire trip, however the noodles were not fully cooked & were very hard! I would've expected better pasta in the United States.. I couldn't even finish eating the pasta because it was so bad! The starter bread wasn't terrible, it was actually pretty decent. The club sandwich was alright.. one side was mainly all chicken though but you can't necessarily control that! One thing I will say was those fries were pretty good so I will give them that. Lastly, when we asked for the bill it took about 10-15 minutes to just get that.. I understand that it was slightly full at the outside tables, but just seemed like they were more focused on getting more people seated than quality of service for those sitting down! Almost like a tourist trap to seem busy. I will say though, the view of the cathedral was pretty.. but wouldn't go back for the food & service! read more

Aperol Spritzes in Amalfi, Italy? I need nothing more. This was a fantastic place to sit, shielded from the sun, sip Spritzes and watch people. Living well is definitely the best revenge against lowlife sociopaths. read more

An okay spot for a quick breakfast. We dropped in while waiting for our ferry, given its proximity to the docks. The outdoor seating area was a bit cramped and closely packed. We ordered breakfast combo meals, but nothing stood out as particularly memorable. The service was fine, although the waiter's constant presence directly behind me, peering over my shoulder, made me uncomfortable and a bit uneasy. read more

Great location. Can't be beat. Perfect for people watching. Great drinks. Food is incredibly forgettable (or inedible). I like mayonnaise ALOT. The club sandwich had so much mayonnaise that literally was scooping it off the bread. Eventually just gave up and asked for some olives. If your not Italian, they don't bring you the freebie appetizers. Eventually they brought them on 3rd ask. So sit down and grab a drink! read more

Pizza crust not that great. Lasagna was pretty good. The old fashioned was SODA watered down. Bubbly diluted old fashioned anyone? No thanks! The waiter left the bill saying "tip is not included". This is Italy my friends. There is a service charge, there is no tip. No other restaurants say this, because there is no tipping in Italy. Only requested by sleazy service providers. The place next door had a better old fashioned and friendlier service. read more

Great view of the Amalfi Doumo. This place has free wifi. Just get the password from your server. The food was decent. read more

Of all the restaurants we ate at in Italy, I have to say the taste of Bistro was the best! Deliciouso! So much so that we ate there every night of our stay! The head waiter Salvatore was great and the pasta cooked perfectly to our liking. The entire staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. The location in front of the steps of St. Andrew Cathedral was the perfect background for our dinners. If we should be so lucky to return to Amalfi, we will surely be eating here. For the best in Italian cuisine see Salvatore! Bistro Flli Pansa the best Italian food in all of Italy~! read more

AMAZING! That s all you need to know. Not a tourist trap. Food is so good and authentic. View is breathtaking, right in from of the museum which is also a cathedral.... experience was just perfection. I was here on a friday night and right in front was a free concert (lucky me)... Im a solo traveler and felt really comfortable sitting down on my own. Plus Salvatore (manager) was so attentive couldn't ask for better setting. read more

This is the worst food and service ever.. pizza was terrible and the waiters were rude!! Tourist trap!! Would never recommend this place ever!! read more

In my experience, piazza bistros are usually tourist traps; their prime location allows them charge high prices, serve crap food, and give surly service because 99% of their customers won't every come back. Not Bistro filla Pansa. Notice the name "Pansa", which graces the pastry shop across the way. The Pansa family goes back five generations in the area as famous pastry chefs who are known for local versions of breads (colomba pasquale), cookies, and other treats. Make sure you visit them. This bistro isn't on the main square as a way to be successful. They are on the main square because they have been doing pastries/service the right way for nearly 200 years and therefore can now afford nice locations. They gave me exactly what I was looking for in Amalfi. I wanted to *experience* Amalfi. Come early in the morning like I did, early being 8:30 for the locals, before the large tourists crowds pile in. You sit and observe life and history unfold quietly and naturally in this picturesque fishing village. The first thing you'll notice is that you are literally in the shadow of the church and the stunning cliffs behind it. The local porters are delivering supplies, greeting each other as they do every day, calling loudly with exaggerated hand and facial expressions. They are kidding around, but their joy in seeing their friends is sincere and it warms my heart to think they probably do the same thing every morning. Watch the porter stop at the marble fountain and drink directly from one of the spigots. I like drinking from the one with the water coming from the siren's boobs because... well... boobs. This fountain is prominent, has worn edge from countless drinkers before and a man holding onto two logs on top. You'll sit for a while and the bell from the church will mark the time by ringing every 15 minutes as you marvel at its wonderful striped façade and simple disc-shaped mosaics. It is in this quiet moment that you'll put everything together. You'll remember that the area was part of the Byzantine Empire in the mid 10th century. The dude with the logs is Saint Andrew, the man who told Jesus about the boy with loaves and fishes, patron saint of fisherman - and also the patron saint of Amalfi, plus several other regional countries. You note the logs are in an X-shape, which was the shape on which St. Andrew was crucified because he didn't think himself worthy of being martyred on the t-shape that Jesus was. It is the reason why the Amalfi flag is a modified Orthodox cross. St Andrew is also why Scotland's flag is an X and its most famous course is named after him - which then migrated to the confederate flag and the flags of Florida and Alabama. You'll notice that the striped façade is Moorish/Arab/Byzantine style and those discs mosaics/paintings are all Byzantine style, the type you'd see in Istanbul. It is then that I remember that the church is name after St. Andrew. You look in your guide book and find out that St. Andrew himself is buried about 200 feet away from where you're putting a pastry in your gob. And those boobs? Yeah, they are for the sirens - the same ones that were supposed to have tempted Ulysses on his Odyssey, allegedly on the rocks mere miles from this bistro. It is then that I felt like this wasn't just a bistro, but a small perch to experience thousands of years of history woven into the cliffs and fabric of this marvelous place. It's everywhere and in everything when you take a moment to pause and think. By-the-by, the food kicks ass here, the service is fantastic (especially after getting to know the staff), and the prices aren't rip off. Five stars, yo. read more

The Piazza Duomo itself is full of flies and insects and I didn't realize this until I sat down at this outdoor bar across the street from Amalfi Cathedral. A bug decided to get drunk off of my wine and died from alcohol poisoning. When I told the waiter he said he'll remove it and proceeded to do so with a spoon once he took my drink back inside. I'm sorry but for hygienic reasons I found this absolutely disgusting. From my observations and my guess only, the complimentary aperitivo is based on how much you spend. Our first round totaled €15 (wine and beer) and we were served peanuts, chips, and a type of salty pretzels (?). The table left of us looks to have spent around €24 ordering 2 cocktails and also received flatbreads. The table to our right ordered 4 cocktails and received olives in addition. Personally I felt it was unfair that we didn't get the flatbread after we ordered the second round of drinks and spent the same amount as the table left of us. read more

Went there for breakfast, there was maybe 5 other customers there. Mom and sister ordered two coffees which they received 40 minutes after ordering....(?). I received my food which was eggs and bacon, about an hour after I ordered it. The bacon wasn't even cooked, like literally not cooked. I took one bite of the eggs, which were covered in this unnecessary gross oil and decided not to eat it for my stomachs sake. About an hour and 20 minutes went by and my family received their food, which was eggs. It took an hour and 20 minutes to cook eggs, with 5 customers. The worst part about it: my sister received FOOD POISONING from the place and it ruined her time in Amalfi. I'd definitely stay away!! read more
