There's a view of the water from the patio (it's across the street) and patio seemed to fill up even during off hours. Cocktails were tasty. Gelato was good. Service was meh.

An espresso, a pistachio croissant, a bottle of sparkling water, and time to just sit. The staff didn't hover. They just let us be, like they somehow knew we needed the quiet.

We actually ended up staying in Praiano and including Amalfi Coast in r itinerary b/c I really…read morewanted to eat at this restaurant built into a cave and sitting on the cliffs of the water. 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).

We got ripped off!!!…read more We experienced what some users testified here: the staff told us we were supposed to 180 for a bottle and when we decided to pay the price in the bill changed to be 270. The so-called reason was that we were six to drink the bottle instead of four which is stupid as it does not change the size of the bottle nor it's trade price. The staff kept us hostage until we paid. We had to discuss for more than 30 minutes simply to find an agreement on the price. This was not a language issue as most of us are fluent in Italian. They simply do not respect customers and are simply trying to ripped people off. Do not go there. Even is the venue is beautiful, the music not the ambiance are able to balance the behaviours of the staff.
