    The fish of the day.
    Sandra R.

    The servers are not transparent on the prices of the fish. Please make sure of the weight of the fish/lobster before you buy to avoid surprises.

    Fried seafood dish
    Luke P.

    Good service. Nice seafood choices. Incredible view on the porch outside. Nice ambience. Food was good but not enough for 5 stars in my opinion. Recommend this spot.

    Seafood Pizza
    Russell K.

    Have never tried a Seafood Pizza before. Was a tasty experience. Was here in October, not crowded.

    Seafood spaghetti and lobster linguine

    Great views, service, and location. Food was decent but pricy which is to be expected given the prime location.

    Seafood pasta with mussels and clams
    Ashkan A.

    I found this restaurant at the request of the hotel staff at the hotel I was staying at so I decided to give this a try. This was hands-down the BEST restaurant experience I had in Amalfi. The views are breath-taking, especially at sunset. The service was incredibly friendly and very excellent. I got the Scialiatelli with seafood (mussels and clams) and oh my goodness ... I don't think you are going to find many places on this planet that serve seafood pasta this well!! The abundance of mussels and clams was incredible. My friend also got the lobster pasta which was pretty good, but not nearly as good as any of the dishes that had mussels or clams in them. They have an incredible wine selection and most of the list will make your head spin even though I drink a lot of red wine personally. Thankfully, my waiter told me about the different Italian red wines based off my palate. I will absolutely come back here again in the future!

    Amberjack Steak
    Grant M.

    Best service in all of Amalfi! Enjoyed the pizza, fries and Peroni on my first night. Had great fish selections and ended up trying the Amberjack Steak, not huge portions but very well made.

    Caprese salad
    Hazel J.

    Came for lunch and would definitely come back again! Got the following: Caprese salad: 3 stars, not like what we expected, but the bufala was good Sciavatella with seafood: 4.5 stars - pasta was done perfectly, great flavor, very fresh Pizza with seafood: 4 stars, very fresh, crust was done well and had flavor Friendly staff!

    Gulf fish (seafood)  soup....amazing!!!!

    Truly exceptional!!! Our first visit to the Amalfi Coast was Christmas 2019 when we discovered this gem of a restaurant on our last day in town. The wait staff was friendly, inviting, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations based on our interests. My wife really loved her fried calamari and Moscato (she said the best ever); we even bought a bottle to bring back to the hotel. For me, one of the absolute best seafood dishes I've EVER eaten was the Gulf Seafood soup. Do yourself a favor and save room from for this dish, and make sure you let the bread soak up all of the flavor. For us this is a destination restaurant. It's 2022 and we're back again, this week on the coast we'll dine here at least 4 times.

    We had the mixed seafood that had clams and muscles I had the lamb and we had a pizza! Fantastic service delicious fresh food!

    Typical Italian food that's a few euros more than other restaurants in town. That's probably because they have an ocean front view, which you're paying for. Other than that, food tastes about the same as other places.

    Amazing chicken!

Glad I did cause it had options I like. (calamari, french fries, fried mozzarella balls)! (And for travelers, be forewarned. When they say calamari it's full on tentacle and the other pieces. So if you're expecting just circular pieces, don't.) I love each individually and got all in one place! They should put it on the menu permanently. There are a couple stools and tables to sit outside. The ladies serving me were nice and funny. I had to give it 3 stars cause the calamari wasn't very hot and the mozzarella balls were just that, mozzarella balls where they were fried but they weren't hot and the ball didn't melt at all. Only the outside seemed to be cooked perfectly. Besides the fries, which were great, everything else was just kinda luke-warm. All in all it wasn't bad and I'd probably try other ones if I was there. There were 5 other people that were eating there and they all seemed to really love what they were having! It's kinda off the beaten path (you have to take the path to Piazza dei Dogi to get to it). There is another place in Piazza Duomo that people went to but I don't recall seeing as many options.

My husband and I were recommended this place by our host, whose Amalfi apartment we were staying in. She told us how to find it, walking around the mountainside from Amalfi to Atrani, enjoying the gorgeous views along the way. The walk itself was super easy and finding the restaurant was too, once we figured out that we need to take some steps down from the main road. The food here is incredible and "no-fuss." Delicious, fresh seafood and cheap wine... what the Amalfi coast is all about! Order the calamari, my mouth is watering just thinking about it now...

The lights are pretty and there's good atmosphere outside. We were brought Aperol spritzes upon being seated. My companion had the fish tasting menu and liked it. I had pasta--lemon sauce on linguine--it was so good! Serving sizes are bigger than in some restaurants in Italy. These are not huge American portions, but somewhere between American and Italian. The prices are fine. There's a 5-euro cover charge, but we got those spritzes and bread, so... fine. We were charged 2,50 euro for water each, but we only had one bottle.

    This was the best meal we had on our recent Italy trip!…read more While the restaurant doesn't offer a seaside view, we sat in the atrium with a lovely evening light and heaters. We started with an amuse-bouche (compliments of the chef), which was a parmesan cracker with ricotta. We shared two appetizers among the four of us - a tuna carpaccio in citrus fruit and poached eggs with black truffle. The poached egg came in a sauce that was totally delicious and mop-able with bread. The tuna was fantastic and very light. For the main, our table split the pasta stuffed with burrata and black truffle and the risotto with red shrimp in lemon sauce. Absolutely incredible! The risotto was soooo refreshing and light and cooked perfectly. The truffle pasta was full umami flavor and a flavor party. We ended with delicious desserts, my husband got the hazelnut coffee which he loved and I got a lemon assortment. This had a lemon cream brulee sort of preparation which I loved. The wines here were also fantastic and the service prompt and great!
