They never glanced in our direction. They tossed our plates down without looking where they put them. At one point, a server threw a bag of bread on our table after we'd finished our dinners. She was walking by, didn't slow down, and tossed a bag of bread in front of my son. When we first arrived, they asked if we had taken the boat from Amalfi. We hadn't, and after that, everything seemed to change. If you do decide to eat here, maybe say yes to the boat question. I'm thinking maybe they charge a table fee for the people who take their water taxi, and that's why they didn't want us there. Who knows. Overall, I wish we had gone somewhere else. I can't remember ever eating at a restaurant that felt so dismissive. It wasn't just passive-aggressive--it felt like they were put off by us being there, which was really weird. We spent a lot of money there. I'm at a loss. They were getting on very well with the tables near us. I loved Italy so much; this was by far the worst experience we had on our trip. There is another restaurant right next to this one on a dock. If you have the choice, I'd definitely go to that one. 5 stars to the one on the dock.

When our server came we were asked if we came by boat from Amalfi and we said no (staying in Conca de Marini). Maybe it was this or because we are Americans, but the service was an embarrassment. All of our meals came out at different times, the bread was thrown on the table as an afterthought in a bag in front of my teenage son, the plates were slammed down on the table, we were never checked on and when ready to leave we had try very hard to get anyone's attention. I would never recommend eating here unless you enjoy passive aggressive exchanges. If you do eat here tell them you came on the boat from Amalfi even if you didn't.

Well, it wasn't worth building a trip around it, but we did really love Amalfi Coast so in the end it worked out. As for this restaurant, I wouldn't go for dinner. Food just isn't very good. If ur in the area already (not spending crazy $ to take a water taxi or drive a distance), stop by for a cocktail. Having a drink here is worth it if you're nearby so would definitely recommend that. The bar is the only portion that's part of the cave and truly, many places along Praiano and neighboring areas r built into the cliff so it's not all that special. Unless you're arriving via water taxi, the walk to this place is a lot so wear shoes that u love to hike in-lol. We paid an additional 15Euro/pp to have VIP seating right along the water. Not worth it. U could easily sit on the patio and have equal views and experience. One of the nice things about Europe is often that they don't rush u as much as US restaurants. Not here. They were ready to grab r order immediately and when we asked to start with a drink and appetizer then order in a bit, they told us they had to put in r complete order at 1 time. Seems odd since they were able to add drinks as needed, but whatevs. The linguini with anchovy (it was more of an essence) was amazing! Would totally recommend it and we don't even like anchovies. However, everything else was meh to bad. The lamb ribs were a pile of fat and not good. The filet was really overcooked so rough to eat. The tagliatelle with ragu had almost no meat in it. Probably spent $100usd pp without alcohol and would definitely not recommend for dinner. *Tip - if you're walking back up that huge hill after drinks/dinner, stop off at the hotel just above Il Pirate and have a cocktail or dessert there. They have an elevator that will take u up to the top street that u can use if you're either a guest or dining there. I promise u it's worth the $ for the ride.

It took a minute to find the restaurant because you have to walk down a lot of stairs to get to the bottom of the mountain (like most places along the Amalfi Coast).

Service was just as great. The hostess and our waiter were so kind, engaging, and gave excellent recommendations, including wine pairings. The restaurant itself has a cozy, authentic feel, like you're sitting in someone's Italian kitchen. If you can, try to sit outside. The views of the cliffs of Positano are absolutely stunning.

The restaurant is family owned, Raffaele is the owner and his son Salvatore helps out both on the beach and with the boat service. The specialty here is obviously seafood, seafood pasta was bomb as well as the grilled calamari. At the bar they sell Algida ice creams as well as sun block and towels (5 euro or 10 euro depending on the size and quality). If you want you can hang out by the beach for the price of only 10 euro for 2 tanning bed and a ombrella!! Pretty good deal considering you are in one of the most expensive areas in Italy! Whenever you want to go back to Amalfi Salvatore will take you via boat - the boat service is included in the restaurant price (2 people having appetizer pasta and grilled calamari was not even 50 euro!!!) amazing!!

You end up unable to leave when the service and food are underwhelming. Our server told some of our group members that they couldn't get what they asked for. It appeared that he was trying to be funny when the items showed up later. Then he reprimanded someone for having a phone out. We are still not sure if that was also a joke. The first dish showed up for one guest and it was about 10-15 minutes before the next items showed up. One was pasta carbonara but the eggs were added at a hot temperature and they were scrambled in the noodles. Our final item came out when we asked for the check. I think there are other superior restaurants in Amalfi that won't make you feel stranded or puzzled by the bad service.
