    A few bones but manageable.

    Fabulous beachside retreat. Came by boat, they'll send a tender out for you. Freshly caught fish paired with pasta in a light tomato sauce (pomodoro-like). Nice wine selection with reasonable prices.

    Nice and quite with a spectacular view. The food was fresh and delicious. Came out at a timely manner! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. A perfect location for lunch. You can also grab a water taxi here to Amalfi!!

    Story of the restaurant
    Will L.

    What a fun beachside restaurant! My family chartered a boat on a recent visit to Marina de Cantone and the captain suggested we stop in at La Tonarella. What a great experience. We all split an assortment of fresh seafood appetizers. Everyone got a pasta dish. And all split their house wine. Everyone finished with a clean plate and the owner even brought us out a crab on the house. The story of the restaurant is super. From the family owning and operating to the former First Lady stopping in. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting.

    Halfway between Amalfi and Positano lies this seaside restaurant, tucked into the breathtaking cove of Conca dei Marini. Unbeknownst to me this restaurant has been dishing out fresh seafood and pasta for YEARS! In fact, until 1956 Conca dei Marini was the site of the only tuna fishery on the Amalfi Coast... Aka La Tonnara. In a the late 60s Umberto Lauritano, better known as "'O Bacchiss", had the idea to convert one of the "molazzeni" (the tonnara storage shock) into the wonderful restaurant shack that it is today: "LaTonnarella" Side Note: Jackie O was no stranger to this part of Italy and often took to this little hideaway cove to dine with Gianni Agnelli, her favourite dish is on the menu, a pasta with pan-fried zucchini, pancetta and parmigiano. Our server even brought us a plate of this famous dish gratis! Expect a low key vibe, diners in bikinis, dogs resting under shaded tables, the sounds of the sea rolling over the tiny rocky beach and wonderful seafood.

Basically like a mini fried calzone and they were unreal. Definitely a must order. The gnocchi was incredible. So light it literally melted in your mouth, and the sauce alone was so good you could eat it by itself. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the food here. Everything we tried was amazing. 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. Definitely make a reservation in advance. It's a popular spot and can be hard to get a table otherwise.

I had made reservations conveniently online and I had no clue how to get to the restaurant. Uber/taxi is not convenient out here on the Coast. The sweetest host/hostesses at my stay called Da Ciccio Cielo Mare Terra and arranged a pick up. The restaurant was so generous to pick me and my girlfriend up. We were actually the first ones at the restaurant to arrive. We were met with such genuine and warm welcomes. They started us off outside on the terrace with a beautiful view, drinks and a complimentary tasting plate. We then moved inside to a table with the best view. Everything we had ordered was absolutely divine. We were too full for dessert, but they still provided us with a complimentary sorbet and a limoncello shot. We were a bit worried about getting back to the hotel as it was dark and we were a bit tipsy, but they were so kind and drove us back to our hotel. I have never received such genuine and amazing hospitality from a restaurant and I definitely recommend you to stop by !! :) Everything was a 10/10 perfecto.

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!!

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!
