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

We were given a complimentary bite to start, followed by some bread, and also ended with a couple of tiny sweets. Staff was warm and attentive. There's a 3.5 euro coperto/person. 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.

It's not breaded eggplant which is how I prefer it. The muscles had the most delicious broth that you could drink it was so light and flavorful. My favorite was the tempura cod bites. The breading was light and crispy and the fish was so fresh. It was served on a bed of cooked escarole which was just as amazing as its counterpart. They also provided an upscale sweet and sour sauce which was very light and vinegary I loved it! The service was excellent. Rafello was our server and he was so sweet and attentive. The restaurant has a beautiful view although at night it's very dark so you can't see too much of it. The outside dining area is where we ate and the experience was delightful! Would absolutely make Kasai a must when we return to Praiano.

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!

That said, we still enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend the restaurant--especially for the views, which are worth it on their own.

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.

To offer a menu crafted to this precision on the side of cobalt seas and rolling hills is rare. A superb margherita pizza was built (literally and metaphorically) an airy crust that had a feathery interior hiding behind a crispy, thin exterior. Rich mozzarella offers a subtle hint to the acidity of the sauce that this is not the time to be sour. A perfect medley of italian history. Washed down with a sext limoncello spritz. Soft, sweet, a touch of sour behind bubbles. The pasta superb. Octopus had excellent texture with a rich tomato sauce absorbed by perfectly prepared pasta. Every bite just as flavorful as the last.

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. For lunch we had gnocchi and fritto misto - both very tasty and filling.
