They weren't busy, so they went 50/50 on a pie for me. One had sausage, one with some eggplant and mushroom. Both were perfected. A creamy sauce melted along side the sausage. The crispy eggplant atop the other half had a lovely little crisp that gave texture to a crust of pillowy proportions. To end it all with a lovely shot of espresso and good conversation with the server was more than i couldve ever needed after such a religious experience. Come hungry, come happy. Leave full, leave fulfilled. A truly spiritual experience watching a pizza so perfect crafted up close and personal. Then, fresh out of the oven to enjoy it. Food is intimate. And this? This is as sensual as it gets, baby

Eggplant parm was good. Not nearly as heavy as dishes in the States. Ravioli was also a winner, and I appreciate staff splitting up the entree for us. We ended up sharing the turbot fish as well, and it was cooked well with mashed potatoes and some veggies.

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.

When it comes to pizza, I'm a snob and this place has it all. Here's the KEY--Their speciality is fried pizza. This is very unique! After making their super fresh dough, they lightly fry it. Afterward they sauce and add toppings. Then they quickly bake it in a fire oven. I promise you, it's great. This is a great pizza to share and definitely a novelty. The have a "la super" margherita-- which is a margherita pizza that is 70cm long. This is great is you have a group and it can feed about 4-6, if you get appetizers. We also had: Capri which is pizza with red sauce, basil, beefsteak tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. A traditional margherita- the best in this area. Melagianella- an eggplant dish, with basil and Parmesan. Tasty Fried Food- a mix of fresh, fried vegetables. Caponata napoletana- delicious! We got this without meat. Similar to bruschetta, just much better. Service was excellent. We enjoyed this place so much, we went twice. They do take reservations and do have outdoor and indoor seating. Please see my photos and check this place out. You won't regret it because I don't!

Good food. Good ambiance…read more Here's the issue - the first time they brought my parmigiana, it was frozen. Like I took a bite out of it, and it was cold and crunchy (like frozen). I asked, they said no it was not meant to be cold, and promptly brought me a new warm one. Which tasted good. But then ... the check comes and they charged full price for everything. Like they didn't even knock off the cover for the mistake they made. I didn't ask if they would discount the meal because I shouldn't have to. A high quality restaurant would have done it without putting me in the awkward position of having to ask. They would have just done it because serving a frozen dish is just kind of embarrassing ... especially on the Amalfi coast where they take so much pride in the quality of their cuisine. Anyway, I just paid the bill and walked out. Poor etiquette on their part ... you should not put your customers in the position of having to ask. Just do what's right up front.

Our room was simple with a spacious balcony overlooking the water. I do wish they had some modern upgrades and amenities, such as a microwave in the room. The host provided an anti-mosquito plug-in and we didn't have any problems. One point of contention was he did not allow a late check-out. His excuse was regarding other guests and only gave 15 minutes extra. During our stay, we didn't see more than 6 other guests during the morning, afternoon or evening - what other guests? Plus no one was trying to check-in when we left. I don't see how it would have harmed the hotel if they let us stay a little longer. Restaurant - We had the breakfast included in our rate here, as well as a late lunch. For breakfast they include traditional Italian items like cornetto, ham and cheese.
