    Catch of the day

    This is a gem off the beaten path in Amalfi. Amazing food and service! The fish is so fresh and the dishes are so flavorful! I would recommend this to everyone!

    Great service and delicious food. It's in a little quieter square off the main road in Amalfi. The seafood pasta and everything else we had was delicious.

    A great spot to have a delicious lunch! They offer an indoor covered area and outdoor dinning. Be prepared to call ahead and reserve a table or wait for a table to open up during lunch rush. All the food was delicious!

    Came to Almafi for a tour from Naples. This restaurant came as a recommendation from the guide, and was everything we were told it would be. Great vibes, great food, definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

    Walked into Al Cancelletto with no reservations as a 3 top. Ended up waiting about 20min for a table and was offered a glass of Prosecco as we waited, although I don't drink this was a kind gesture. Upon sitting at the table we were greeted by our waiter Stefano who was straight up the man. Attentive, good energy, informative about the menu and guided us through the night which turned out to be spectacular. All of the staff is very kind and made us feel welcome. Food was amazing across the board, simple, delicious, and filling. Octopus, Peppered Mussels, Catch of the day all smash hits. Finished the meal with the Lemon Cake which almost brought a tear to my eye because it was so good. Will definitely be coming back, don't sleep on Al Cancelletto!

    This is a cute little spot off of the main drag. The pastas were fresh and good but the meatballs were out of this world!! Seriously, get them, you won't be disappointed. Also the service was great. My husband even forgot his Ray-Bans on the table and when we came back the next day the staff had them for us! What a gem!

    What an amazing recommendation from my b&b host. This local Italian spot was off the busy Main Street and probably one of my favorite meals this trip. I'm going to suggest the Scitielli con frutta di mare and finish the meal with some amazing Caramel panacotta.

    Mixed grill for 2!

    We had such an incredible experience here, we had to return. The seafood is amazing. Everything is so fresh and prepared perfectly. They will bring you a big tray of fish and seafood to choose from and then you can decide how you want it prepared. The mixed grill is impeccable and the lobster and linguine in tomato sauce is the best anywhere! The Caprese lemon cake was just perfect ending. These folks know what they are doing!

    Delicious local wine

    You're in Italy, very few bad options. Al Cancelletto was suggested by the owner of our hotel. To say the food was stellar would be an understatement. All of the dishes were perfectly cooked and the waiter was very forgiving of our poor Italian. I've included pics of our food and the local wine.

    Amazing food!!! A hidden Gem amongst the tourist traps. The food is amazing, presentation, and wine pairing make for a remarkable evening.

    Try the grilled octopus appetizer (even if you are not typically a fan of octopus)--the seafood is clearly fresh and so tasty.

They don't have anything marked GF on their menu but the server walked me through what I could have. My friend and I started with the La Caprese and they provided me with a GF baguette. For my entree I had the zucchini GF pasta. The pasta was good but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. It wasn't my favorite. My friend ordered the La Genovese with GF pasta and it was really enjoyable. They only had 1 GF dessert so we opted to get the lemon sorbet. They also brought out a few GF candies as well. Overall the service and views were really nice but I wasn't a fan of my entree.

We attempted to contact the restaurant via WhatsApp, which many Amalfi restaurants use for international guests. Unfortunately, Da Gemma wasn't reachable this way, and as international travelers, we had no reliable way to call them directly. The next day, we were charged a €60 no-show fee. Despite explaining the situation to Simone, the general manager, there was no flexibility or exception made. While we understand the need for cancellation policies, the lack of accessible communication and rigid handling of the situation was disappointing. International visitors may want to keep this in mind when making plans. There are many other welcoming and accommodating restaurants in Amalfi.

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!

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.
