Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to them. I ordered the shrimp for €26. I received only six shrimp, heavily battered, with nothing else on the plate. For €26, I expected considerably more in both quality and presentation. We also ordered a €9 salad, which was essentially just tomatoes. My wife's food was better, but overall we felt the food was significantly overpriced for what we received. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. Our server took our order and essentially never attended to our table again. He walked past us several times without checking on us. We asked another server for water; he said he would bring it but never returned. Eventually, we had to get the attention of a third person just to get some water. The restaurant was very busy, and I understand that can affect service, but being busy shouldn't mean customers are virtually ignored throughout their meal. Beautiful setting and atmosphere, but based on our experience, poor service and very poor value for the money. With such high ratings, we expected much better. Unfortunately, this felt much more like a tourist-priced restaurant than the authentic dining experience we were hoping for.

A first to leave a negative review, but this experience deserves one…read more We visited Lido Azzurro based on a recommendation while spending several days on the Amalfi Coast. Up until this meal, every restaurant we had visited was excellent. This was, without question, the most disappointing dining experience of our trip. I have traveled extensively around the world and have enjoyed incredible food as well as meals that simply weren't my favorite. Even when I haven't loved a dish, I've usually finished it. This was different. I ordered the grilled seafood, which included king prawns and squid. I didn't eat either of them because the calamari was so tough that my knife could barely cut through it. If I couldn't cut through it with a knife, why would I subject my teeth (that years of orthodontics worked so hard to perfect) to chewing it? The dish was also incredibly bland. My friend's pasta wasn't even close to al dente. It was simply not enjoyable. The food was disappointing, but what made the experience truly unacceptable was the way I was treated. When I explained why I wasn't going to continue eating my meal, the host told me that I didn't know what fresh seafood tastes like and implied I didn't understand how fresh food should be prepared. I've eaten fresh seafood in many countries, and freshness does not excuse toughness or a complete lack of seasoning. Even Ratatouille himself would have jumped into the kitchen and added some seasoning. To then ask if I wanted to order something else after dismissing my concerns felt insincere. Why would I want more food after all of our food was disgusting and clearly I do not know what fresh seafood taste like? If there were a Michelin category for bland food and poor customer service, this place might finally earn a mention. Getting to the Amalfi Coast from the United States--or from almost anywhere--isn't a quick or inexpensive trip. People save, plan, and work hard for the opportunity to experience this beautiful destination. When you finally arrive, you hope for wonderful food, warm hospitality (insert sarcasm), and memorable experiences. Unfortunately, Lido Azzurro delivered none of those. The scenery around Amalfi is breathtaking, but this restaurant was the biggest disappointment of our visit.

The top floor restaurant is the one I am talking about. The views from the front windows are excellent. But the view is only a bonus. We were greeted and sat right away. Someone immediately came over and offered us water and menus. The sommelier came over and she was very helpful in selecting a great and affordable wine to go with our meal. They started with a mini pizza as a complimentary appy. It was nice to offer it, but it was not as special as every other course we were served. We started with the Zucchini Flowers - pictured. These were so delicate and delicious. Very glad we ordered them. I got an Amalfi coast staple dish, Spaghetti and clams - pictured. This one was my favorite version of this dish of the three times I got it at different restaurants in the Amalfi coast. My wife got the gnocchi - also pictured. It is vegetarian and also was delicious. The service was always fast and helpful with any questions. This is a highly recommended place for a special dinner.

The food doesn't measure up to other spots in Positano. I had the Spaghetti with Zucchini (€24) as a first-timer and was underwhelmed. I will assume other local restaurants do it better since the sauce did not impress. Spaghetti with clams (€30), Lobster and ricotta ravioli with thyme, yellow cherry tomatoes and lupins (€40) and Grilled lamb chops with roasted potatoes and vegetables (€35) were 3 other dishes we ordered. Spaghetti and lamb were good. Not big fans of the ravioli because of the sauce again. The service was incredibly quick and attentive-definite 5 stars in this area. This restaurant works in a pinch, but I'd venture out if you want a better meal.

From beginning to end we had an amazing time here. If you are a foodie and seek out fine dining experiences you really cannot go wrong. My only slight (and very slight) comment here is that we reserved our table well in advance noting we were here for our honeymoon but really didn't get a great table. This wasn't a total deal breaker for us as we liked it so much I am still rating this a 5, but was a little disheartening since we treated this as one of our excursions while in Positano. The view is outstanding, the staff is so incredibly friendly and really treated us with care. Our sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and took her time explaining and enunciating clearly to us! I'll be thinking about the food here for sometime. Total menu included: chilled tomato soup with melon (may just have been my favorite item, or maybe it was just the first out, but my god was it AMAZING!), Tartar with Oyster Sauce, Tortellini in a creamy meat sauce (another fan favorite!), Calamari, Sea Bass, Veal, and a Chilled Peach Desert. Everything was phenomenal, every time something came out we thought it just could not get better but of course it did. This is an experience my husband and I will honestly always cherish. If food is your love language and you can afford to splurge when on vacation this is the place to do it. A truly fantastic restaurant.
