Just insane. There is not much to write here. The pizza tells a story words fail to express. An open kitchen offers a glimpse into the home of a chef pouring a love as hot as the oven that chars the crust. They weren't busy, so they went 50/50 on a pie for me. One had sausage, one with some eggplant and mushroom. Both were perfected. A creamy sauce melted along side the sausage. The crispy eggplant atop the other half had a lovely little crisp that gave texture to a crust of pillowy proportions. To end it all with a lovely shot of espresso and good conversation with the server was more than i couldve ever needed after such a religious experience. Come hungry, come happy. Leave full, leave fulfilled. A truly spiritual experience watching a pizza so perfect crafted up close and personal. Then, fresh out of the oven to enjoy it. Food is intimate. And this? This is as sensual as it gets, baby read more

It's a super cute restaurant. They do have a garden area in the back for sitting which was really quiet and nice. My husband and I had the whole place to ourselves. We had a very light lunch but the food was AMAZING. I didn't even get a picture of the pizza because we devoured it so fast! The tomatoes were fresh and juicy. The pizza was light and refreshing. The San Marzano tomatoes were so aromatic. The servers were very nice but service in general is very different in Europe than the US. read more

Stumbled upon Che Bonta after a nice long walk and we were starving! We chose a Margherita pizza and a marinara pizza. Both were fantastic!! The thing I love about Italy, is that you can eat almost an entire pizza and NOT get heartburn because the ingredients are so so fresh & pure. Absolutely loved this meal!! read more

Che Bonta is a cute little cafe in the small town of Praiano. The tables are staggered up the large steps to the cafe. They serve fresh healthy Italian food. Their salads are fresh and tasty. The Mediterranean Salad was very good and had large chunks of feta cheese. Their Ravioli dish, is one of the best I've ever eaten. If you stay in Praiano, give it a try read more

We went based off of a recommendation, however, the service and food did not live up to the hype. The waitress questioned the amount of food we ordered (we hadn't eaten all day and we're really hungry from traveling) which made us feel awkward. The food was ok, lacked depth and flavor. When we ordered dessert the waitress rolled her eyes at us. She seemed very friendly with the other tables though! read more

Got this for "take away" during a rain storm. Unlike most places on the Almafi coast, you could place the order online for pickup. We got a pizza, the zucchini pasta, salad, roasted veggies and the chicken breast and fries. Nothing was extraordinary but it was all good. The pizza was solid, Neapolitan style. The pasta had good flavor but the pasta was a bit over-cooked. The veggies were tasty and the salad was as expected. The fries and chicken were pretty good, likely frozen but hit the spot. Decent option for staying in. read more

This place is BANGIN!! Not kidding. This unsuspecting little corner joint hasn't gotten enough shine one yelp. We had one pizza and one calzone, both were lights out 11/10. We had the local red & white wines which were average, but beyond that nothing was average. The crispy bacon & onion pizza, calzone, and shell pasta were among the best we have ever had in Italy (between Bologna, Florence, Rome, Cinque Terre, and Amalfi). Also the best we'd had among Positano, Praiano, Amalfi, and Ravello. The servers were also friendly, efficient, and provided excellent service.

This is the place to go for an easy lunch or dinner when you really want just a laid back night "out in town". Not that there is so much of a town to conquer in Praiano The pizza and the pizza specials are all really delicious - and compared to other restaurants very reasonable priced. The house wine also really makes a girl happy. The seating on the stairs in city center is quite charming, as is the music - if you are a fellow secret pop music lover The only thing we did not enjoy too much was the cannoli dessert - I should have invested those calories in another glass of wine or not pizza. Still: absolute recommendation! read more

His excuse was regarding other guests and only gave 15 minutes extra. During our stay, we didn't see more than 6 other guests during the morning, afternoon or evening - what other guests? Plus no one was trying to check-in when we left. I don't see how it would have harmed the hotel if they let us stay a little longer. Restaurant - We had the breakfast included in our rate here, as well as a late lunch. For breakfast they include traditional Italian items like cornetto, ham and cheese. For lunch we had gnocchi and fritto misto - both very tasty and filling.

Wonderful family run restaurant in Praiano. The food is excellent, the prices are excellent, and the staff is excellent. When we stay in Praiano, we eat here almost every day. It can get crowded. But that tells you something, especially if you keep seeing the same faces, locals and tourists. read more

We ended up eating here 2 days out of our 4-day stay. Although the service was quick, the only down size was the servers did not have much personality. No real conversation at all. And very hard to get a smile out of them. But if you're looking for great food at a good price i highly recommend trying it out.

Asked for glass of water and he eventually served it to my husband with no ice. Had to ask for ice. Next am realized he never returned my cc, luckily my hotel was next door and went to pick up. Thin crust pizza well cooked, fee for dining on bill was a little shocking, but they do this everywhere on Amalfi coast. Prices were excellent and everything fresh!

The grandma of the family walks around the restaurant making sure everyone is enjoying their meal, which was absolutely adorable.

The pastas were wonderfully homely and comforting, and we especially loved the grilled vegetables and the artichokes -- truly top-notch.

The owner -- a true gentleman -- called us back in and found us a spot, and that turned out to be an amazing call. Dinner was fantastic. We were served by a Cuban waiter (unfortunately, I missed his name), who took great care of us. We both ordered the same main dish -- chicken limone with roasted potatoes -- and I added the fresh homemade pasta on the side. What a combination! The bread was delicious too; I couldn't resist setting up my own olive oil, Parmesan, and cracked black pepper dipping plate. This place is an absolute gem and definitely a tough one to get into. I highly recommend making a reservation, even during the slower seasons. Don't miss out -- go and enjoy this truly wonderful restaurant.

The food isn't good. Below average. I had the seafood risotto which was very salty and the shrimp wasn't deveined. It still had a ton of black stuff inside its vein. My son had the pasta with meat sauce which he said he could make a better one. Tried their house white wine which was awful too. Tourist trap.

We were given a complimentary bite to start, followed by some bread, and also ended with a couple of tiny sweets. Staff was warm and attentive. There's a 3.5 euro coperto/person. Eggplant parm was good. Not nearly as heavy as dishes in the States. Ravioli was also a winner, and I appreciate staff splitting up the entree for us.

It's not breaded eggplant which is how I prefer it. The muscles had the most delicious broth that you could drink it was so light and flavorful. My favorite was the tempura cod bites. The breading was light and crispy and the fish was so fresh. It was served on a bed of cooked escarole which was just as amazing as its counterpart. They also provided an upscale sweet and sour sauce which was very light and vinegary I loved it! The service was excellent. Rafello was our server and he was so sweet and attentive. The restaurant has a beautiful view although at night it's very dark so you can't see too much of it. The outside dining area is where we ate and the experience was delightful! Would absolutely make Kasai a must when we return to Praiano.

This was our first meal after arriving in Positano and we couldn't have asked for a better one. We arrived in Positano around 10 PM on a Saturday night. This restaurant was on our itinerary and was a 2 minute walk from our hotel. We walked up around 10:30 and they sat us immediately on the outdoor patio. We ordered grilled octopus to start and it might have been the freshest and tastiest grilled octopus I've ever eaten. We also ordered a spicy green sauce pasta that was top 3 best things we ate on our entire trip. I wish I knew the name of it so that I could mention it here. We also ordered a prosciutto and burrata pizza. My wife isn't a huge fan of prosciutto so she didn't enjoy it as much as I did. But I would happily eat that pizza again and again. The staff were very kind and friendly. They didn't ever seem annoyed that we came in later at night. Every day that we walked past them to go into the main center of Positano, they smiled and invited us back in or asked how we were doing. They don't have the same view that other restaurants might have, but what they lack in a view, they make up for in quality and service.
