One of my favorite meals in Italy! Their homemade ravioli with pumpkin sauce and clams was absolutely delicious. My partner's seafood linguine was also amazing. Great place to sit, enjoy a nice meal outside and sip limoncello after your meal. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality food at a reasonable price. read more

Wonderful Italian food served on the Amalfi Coast. Food, wine, spectacular ambiance, amore, close to the villa. Service equals all of the above. Ahhh...... read more

Had such a great experience here. The servers were friendly and made sure we had a comfortable meal. Food came in time and was super tasty. Our server was Mariana and we had a great conversation. Granted it was off season and very few customers read more

Probably one of the best meals while on a two week vacation in Italy. The setting of this little restaurant is superb. I felt like I was in someone's patio, having a family meal. Tables are close together, which makes it very family style. In fact we ended striking a conversation with a lovely British couple seated next to us. The service is very attentive and personal. Our server / owner spoke to us as though she knew us. Made recommendations. Was funny and sweet. Somehow I missed to review L'Abside right off the bat and now have trouble remembering exactly what we had. For appetizer, I believe it was crostini with anchovies and tomatoes. My pasta dish was extremely memorable as it was delicious! Spaghetti with anchovy sauce. I was warned that it might be slightly too salty, but in fact it was perfect. We had more dishes, but frankly all I remember that everything was just superbly fresh and simply good. We tried other restaurants in Amalfi, but nothing came close. I wish we at L'Abside every day instead of trying something else. I do highly recommend making a reservation. It was packed and we only got in because Vincenzo, the brother of the owner, who runs the hotel next door (highly recommended) personally called in to make reservations for us. read more

If you find yourself strolling the streets on Amalfi and are looking for something delicious, do yourself a favor and stop in at this restaurant. Out of the beaten path and away from the crowd on Via Amalfi, you'll find this hidden gem. The food was so delicious we came two days in a row. The shrimp risotto was amazing and so was the lobster. Don't get me started on dessert- the panna cota and tiramisu were delicious. The staff is very friendly, especially Andrea, who is a charming and very kind waiter who made our meal that more special. read more

Bruschetta was excellent and even though I don't like anchovies they were great on the brochettes. The lasagna was on point and extremely flavorful so I highly recommend it. Very good atmosphere and indoor or outdoor seating available. read more

This wasn't my favorite trattoria in Amalfi - maybe just an off night for seafood but didn't feel fresh and the soup was not as good as some others we had. The ambiance was nice though. read more

Delicious straciatelli, homemade noodles with seafood. My wife had the mom's lasagna and also said it tasted very good. We sat outside in a small hidden square just off the main thoroughfare. Very good restaurant, would definitely return! Prices are also reasonable. Like most places in Italy, service could use a little work read more

Delicious! The food was excellent. We had linguine with lobster and swordfish with grilled vegetables. The wait staff was friendly and very attentive. read more

This was one of the best meals we've had in Italy. First of all, even though it was a beautiful evening, we asked to be seated inside because smokers are allowed to light up in the outdoor restaurants. The inside is quite lovely, so it worked. We split an order of lasagne as a "prime platti" which was very, very good, and each got a swordfish plate that was served with grilled eggplant and red peppers. The swordfish was also grilled, and was a hefty portion. I was surprised at how much we got. Best of all, it was served with a mint/lemon/oil sauce that set off the flavor perfectly. Service was perfect, not too slow and not too rushed. If we get a chance, we'll be back. read more

Popped in after touring the Cathedral Amalfi and the Paper Factory and glad we did. This little gem is tucked in the heart of the Amalfi city center. Very classy decor within and seated our party of five immediately (for lunch). My Insalata Amalfi (mixed greens salad topped with shrimp) was crisp and cold. Since it was over 100 degrees outside, this and a Peroni was perfect. We were not hurried and waited on appropriately. Tip: They do not take American Express. read more

The food was super delicious! From appetizer to dessert... and the service was phenomenal. However, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of the coffee. I'm a coffee addict; and for me coffee also counts. Hey! That's me... lol but definitely recommend this place to eat out in this area. read more

We had such an amazing lunch that we decided to go back for dinner. The risotto was phenomenal and we had lobster linguini for dinner. The food and service were one of our best meals in Italy!! read more

Finally we found an amazing, authentic Italian meal that wasn't outrageously priced. The shrimp and lemon risotto and lasagna (made fresh by the waitresses mother) were fantastic. read more

Terrific! We got the lasagna and the ravioli along with some wine. Great central location and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend having dinner here! read more

Spent two weeks in Amalfi. This was the only restaurant that was consistently professional and the food delicious! If I was to come again I'd forget the others. Pasta with clams, ravioli, swordfish, mussels. All were prepared and plated perfectly. The wait staff was very professional and there were no long waits for service like we endured at some of the others! Enjoy! read more

We arrived today in Amalfi Coast, after spending 4 nights in Sorrento. Walked to the small square to check out the shopping area. Was recommended to come to L'Abside for a good meal, by one of the local footwear owners. Decided to try it out for our first night dinner experience. We managed to get a table for two inside immediately, even they were fairly busy outside. Service was very attentive & helpful. Food was excellent as ordered, even though I made the mistake of ordering the pasta with anchovies & dried tomatoes (which turned out to being a bit too salty for my taste buds & did not eat most of it). The professional waitress noticed that & offered to have the chef whip up a small portion of cheese ravioli in a pumpkin sauce to tie me over so I didn't go hungry, no additional charge!. We finished off the meal by sharing a excellent lemon cake dessert which is made in house. I certainly would eat there again! read more

Nice food but the location needs some more attention. The restaurant locates in a branch of main road. It's better to check the guide signboard to find it. The mussel soup has a full bowl of mussel with dressing taste. And the calm noodle is quite enjoyable too. Better taste than my expect. read more

Amazing restaurant. Staff is friendly and the food is amazing! Do yourself a favor and order eggplant parmigiana and dessert. I promise you won't regret it! read more

Giovanna's restaurant is wonderful. She and the entire staff were beyond friendly. We had dinner in Amalfi four nights. We came here TWICE. Anchovy!!!! I don't even like anchovies, but I crushed them. Anchovy pasta.....AWESOME. Everything was really good, but obviously I was shocked by the anchovy. In the states, I won't even look at an anchovy. I would highly recommend this spot. Hidden courtyard just off of the main square makes for a wonderful location read more

One of the best in Amalfi town, nice location out of the worst tourist hassel. Mussel soup and lasagne especially were amazing

Kind of too froo-froo and no one was overly impressed with their dishes after being in Italy for 2 weeks and having had some really incredible entrees. The only item that I would say really wow'ed was the spaghetti alla vongole. We also ordered the shrimp risotto, seafood pasta, minestrone soup, and eggplant parm - all average read more

What an unexpected gem! Came here on recommendation of Yelpers. And they were right. Food is terrific! And inexpensive. We had a seafood fruit-de-mer with super fresh and tasty clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari and octopus in the most delicious sauce. Simple Eggplant parm was wonderful too. They even served us super early at 5:30 an hour before opening for dinner. read more

Nice staff, good food, nice place! We had delicious Bruschetta, Pasta and dessert. The restaurant is located in a side street of the central place Piazza Duomo. read more

The absolute best experience and delicious food. The owner recommended amazing dishes - the raw fish antipasto was fresh and delicious. She picks the seafood fresh everyday - searching for the right fish for the meals. The pasta was delicious. And because of the friendly environment and delicious food - we came back two nights in a row! Amazing. A must stop when in Amalfi. read more

Not very good at all, and expensive. Lukewarm food, tasteless seafood, very mediocre wine. Great service, shrimp is good.

This is a really terrific restaurant! We went twice for dinner. The pasta is spectacular. The seafood over linguini was my best meal in Italy. Outside seating in a great courtyard makes the experience entertaining. It's not fancy but just plain nice. Very friendly staff. You can't go wrong here. read more

Great, delicious dinner. Even better, the service was fantastic and friendly. Very fresh and attentive. Try the lobster linguini and eggplant. Anything with lemon in the title will be "Vera bohnta" (heavenly) read more

Came here based on the recommendations we saw on yelp. The server was very nice, but the taste of the food wasn't great to say the least. My friend ordered the lasagne which came with a wilted basil on top and no bolognese between the semi hard pastas. I ordered the shrimp risotto which Tasted pretty average. Cute place and nice people, but I wish the food tasted better. read more

We ate here last week on our honeymoon and loved it! The pastas are top notch and the fish was fantastic. The owners daughter was our waitress and said her mom makes the eggplant parm and the lasagna which we went back the next day to try but they are closed on Fridays. We'll just have to go back there on our next trip. read more

By far the best meal and the best service we had in Amalfi. Good homemade ravioli, great risotto and the best desserts we've had on a 2 weeks holiday in Italy. Prices are above average but great value for money! read more

Tiny restaurant with hugely delicious food! We listened to the recommendations of the servers and were thrilled -- the mixed seafood over pasta was bountiful, fresh and delicious! The special dessert -- Easter cake -- was another recommendation, and I can't get the flavor & texture out of my mind, it was so good. The house wine was excellent as well -- very reasonable price for the value and experience! read more

Great restaurant! Close to the main square but seems a little tucked away from the huge tourist crowd. The food was good and the service was excellent! We went on a chillier night in May and the owner offered her personal coat in case we were cold. Service was excellent, best we have had the whole trip. Started with the mussel soup, very good, and house wine. Split the lobster linguini for the main course, was decent and definitely enough for two people. Waiter brought out complimentary limoncello at the end, delicious!! May not have been the best meal ever but was very solid, reasonably priced, and service was unbeatable!! read more
