Lasagna
Angela R.

While on a tight schedule during our Royal Caribbean cruise stop on the Amalfi Coast, we stumbled upon Royal Restaurant--a charming little spot that turned out to be a delightful surprise. With only an hour to spare, we were hoping for a quick but authentic Italian meal, and Royal delivered. The service was impressively fast, which is exactly what we needed. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan, and I can confidently say it was the best I've had in a very long time--rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I honestly wanted to lick the plate clean to savor every last bite. My boyfriend went with the lasagna and thought it was tasty and satisfying, though it didn't quite steal the show like my dish did. Each meal came with a simple but fresh bag of bread, which turned out to be perfect for soaking up the remaining sauce--no drop left behind! For drinks, I tried a limoncello spritz--refreshing but a little more bitter than I expected. I forgot it wasn't supposed to be sweet, so it didn't wow me. My boyfriend gave it a try and wasn't a fan at all--he quickly swapped it out for a classic Coke. The restaurant itself is quite small, so most seating is outdoors, which actually worked in our favor. Sitting outside gave us a chance to enjoy the scenery, people-watch, and map out our next move: a trip to the gelato place directly across the way. Bottom Line: If you're short on time but craving quality Italian food with a side of Amalfi charm, Royal Restaurant is a solid pick. Go for the eggplant Parmesan and the people-watching; maybe skip the limoncello spritz if you're expecting something sweet.

Stopped by to eat here during a trip to the Amalfi coast as a group of 4! We had just come over from Rome and I have to say this may have been the best meal we ate here during our whole Italy trip! The pastas were cooked to perfection (not too el dente as they seemed to be in Rome) and probably one of the best bruschettas i've ever had. We ordered a variety of things including lasagna (fan favorite), spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and the gnocchi The service was great, we heard wait times in Italy were long, but I didn't feel that way at all coming to Royal. They sat us outside when the weather was great in late February, and we felt tended to despite there being more people sitting inside. If you're ever in the area, don't hesitate to stop by Royal

This was a good place to stop for a bite to eat and to catch our breathe. Nothing really jumped out at me on this visit. The vegetarian pizza was really good with fresh ingredients. We also ordered a plate of sliced tomatoes. The flavor is like I remember when growing up in the 60's, vine fresh and juicy. It's worth a stop here for the food and people watching. Enjoy

This restaurant is a combination ice cream and restaurant establishment. it's located in a courtyard in a tourist portion of Amalfi. I had their pasta fagoli soup. It took 15 minutes to be served to me because the pasta was cooked fresh. It was very good. The soup had a delicious bean and spice/garlic flavor. And pasta was cooked perfect. The owner hesitated to give me, parmesan cheese because he told me it doesn't taste the same with cheese. That was very nice of him but I like everything with Parmesan cheese! It tasted wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We stumbled upon this completely by accident and looked up the Yelp reviews-- only to learn it was…read morenot only well-rated but a Michelin starred restaurant! We were able to get lunch time reservations and chose the "light lunch" of 4 fish courses for 100 euro each. What followed was sheer excellence along with 2 fabulous bottles of wine (the wine list--WOW). Tony provided impeccable service and explanations and Antonio, the chef, even came to the table multiple times to deliver his works of art cuisine. Speaking of art, the restaurant is essentially an art gallery. Beautiful and unique! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Researched a restaurant in Amalfi that has a Michelin star and came across this place. I made a…read morereservation for 7pm on a Monday. They do offer gluten free and vegetarian options but not together. There is a tasting option with 7 courses or à la carte. They do take a deposit of $120 per person 3 days before your reservation in case you cancel. The restaurant is centrally located and easy to get to. You have to ring the bell to enter. They take your coat after you sit at the table. The decorations are of the 12th century applied arts. I had to order à la carte due to being a vegetarian and GF but my friend ordered from the tasting menu. The food and service were wonderful. We both ordered a glass of wine - I had the moscato. They have GF bread that was brought to the table. It was also made with the bruschetta. For my courses, I had the omelette with broccoli, pumpkin GF pasta, buffalo cheese with tomato under lemon leaves, a palate cleanser of strawberry ice cream, and chocolate mousse. We even got to try their Michelin best dessert of 2026 which was the lemon soufflé. It was decadent and delicious. We even had a tour of the kitchen to see the artwork on the ceiling. Overall our experience was cozy and sophisticated with its lemon infused dishes. Would highly recommend!

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.

We went here for dinner. It's simply incredible. A hidden gem amongst the treasure that is Amalfi…read more The food was incredible, and the wine pairing was spot on. Our service was intimate and personable, but not rushed or pressured. And, we sat outside in the courtyard under the Italian sky. Can't say much else except it was our favorite place to eat in Italy. We shall return.
