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!

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.

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.

Super happy with our one meal in Salerno!!…read more We had the tasting menu which was fantastic. Our server was super sweet and took the time to explain the tasting menu to us and the various changes that had been made to the menu. For a casual/midscale place, the service was definitely upscale and very professional. The dishes are creative and the plating is beautiful, and it is obvious that they chefs here put passion into each dish they make. I liked all dishes in the meat and seafood tasting menu, but definitely liked some of the meat tasting platter a bit better, as one of my seafood pasta dish was too salty for me. The portions are quite small so you may be hungry later on, but the whole tasting menu only cost 25 euros, quite a deal. I did get a few mosquito bites in the restaurant because it is an open space. There is also outdoor seating with live music but we found the music a bit too loud, and decided to sit inside. There is also a bar seating that overlooks the kitchen for those traveling alone or in pairs which could be a great option to be able to see the cooking in action!

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.

We stumbled across this restaurant one lunchtime whilst exploring Salerno, and it was a nice…read moresurprise. Having been in Italy for a fortnight we were getting a bit tired of pizza & pasta & variations thereof, and were pleasantly surprised by the fish restaurant. The twist with the restaurant is that there is no menu & you are only served what they catch that morning. We had an appetiser menu consisting of marinated anchovies, octopus in a tomato sauce with polenta, seared tuna, croquette with octopus. It was fantastic. In regards to cost we also had two 1/2 Ltrs of house white wine (the choice is only red or white) & total cost was €50. I cannot recommend it enough, if you are a fish lover, go.

Very kind and sincere owner and waiter, which we appreciate very much. Accommodating with the kids…read morefinickyness. The gnocchi sorrentina was one of the best I've had while living in Italy. The house wine was ok but priced accordingly. They didnt have coffee available for the end of the meal which was surprising. The fish of the day and pasta were very good and not overpriced. My only complaint is that when we ordered the appetizer of the house (antipasti della casa) it is in the menu as "antipasti della casa (5 portions) 13euro" we ordered this, he asked how many portions 4?, 5? We repeated yes the 5. The appetizer was very nice, but when the bill came it was 65 euro for it. In other words they charged 13 euro per portion, not per appetizer, as it is written of course in the menu. This was pretty shocking as it was good but absolutely overpriced and very misleading, though I don't feel they were trying to be dishonest.

Excellent place for dinner! We went for a fairly early dinner and had called to reserve, but there…read morewere no customers when we arrived probably around 7:30pm. 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.

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.
