The most tasty meatballs and extremely flavorful roasted chicken and potatoes. Complimentary potatoes pastry with melted cheese is served with your meal.

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!

I was blown away by the quality of their local organic meat. The thickest T bone I ever had at an amazing price. This place deserves 10 stars. Fresh carpaccio for starters, grilled veggies, and a nice green salad to accompany a 4 lbs steak. The actual address is the following: Via Parco del Lauro 56 70044 Polignano a Mare BA Italy Somehow, they haven't updated their yelp account to reflect that. These guys deserve all the business.
