Kasai, a dimly lit restaurant nestled on the side of a hill in Priano, offers a good dining…read moreexperience. We began our meal with the crispy and lightly seasoned fried scallops. Next, we had the black truffle pasta and the Spaghetti alla Scarpariello, both of which were delicious. These dishes are among the better pasta dishes we've had since arriving in Italy. The price range for each dish is approximately $20 to $30. Kasai has good food, a pleasant ambiance, and attentive staff.

Cute decor that makes u feel like you're dining on the coast in Italy. Although they have outdoor seating and it's highlighted in most pics, we preferred sitting inside next to the open double door as it was more comfortable and not as much road noise. (There's a road between the outside dining and the restaurant) that frequently has cars & motorcycles going by. Bread was tasty & they brought sampler of sundried tomato w/cheese on skewer for each of us as part of their cover charge. We asked if they could make us a salad (b/c they didn't have one on the menu) and got a bowl of butter lettuce-lol. It doesn't seem veggies or salad is much of a thing in Italy b/c this happened at a couple restaurants. Tortellini appetizer was good. Tagliolini Tartufo was excellent and had generous amount of truffle shavings. Veal was pretty good. Rabbit (?- maybe it was lamb- can't recall) was not good- made with an Asian flavoring and NOT good. We were satisfied with service and would recommend to others if you're in the area. Spent about $75usd per person without alcohol.

We actually ended up staying in Praiano and including Amalfi Coast in r itinerary b/c I really…read morewanted to eat at this restaurant built into a cave and sitting on the cliffs of the water. 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.

It took a minute to find the restaurant because you have to walk down a lot of stairs to get to the bottom of the mountain (like most places along the Amalfi Coast). The food was AMAZING -- one of the best meals when we were in Italy! I had the pasta with anchovies at the recommendation of our server; I'm not an anchovies gal, but this was DELICIOUS. The ricotta and pear cheesecake was also one of the best that I've had. Would highly recommend. And of course, the views are amazing!

She said it was good, but not as raw as she prefers. My dad had the pasta and ate all of it, so I think that means it was very good. I personally filled up on bread. A lot of bread. No regrets. The staff was kind and very attentive, especially with me. They were patient, warm, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Good food, beautiful place, nice people. I approve.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by beautiful views of Praiano. Our waiter went over the evening specials, and the whole sea bass immediately caught our attention we're both big fans of a good sea bass. The fish was presented whole, then deboned tableside and served with roasted potatoes and olives. It was finished with a lemon butter sauce poured over the top, which really brought the dish together. We also ordered the Spaghetti alla Moressa, a pasta dish served in a fresh tomato sauce made with red and yellow tomatoes. Both dishes were good and quickly disappeared from our plates. To finish the meal, we shared their lemon cake, which was the perfect ending to dinner. Overall, the food was very good, the service was fairly decent, and the views made for a memorable experience. The only advice I'd offer is that if you're considering one of the specials, be sure to ask the price beforehand if you're not comfortable spending €100 for a whole fish.

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.

Because of the size, there is energy from the staff and customers who seem to know what they are in for. The service was excellent with staff constantly roaming around. And of course the old guy mentioned in many reviews who is the Grandpa. He floats from one table to the next making sure everyone is having a great time, and enjoying their food. Our food was delicious and filling. They also had an excellent wine selection. Desserts were definitely satisfying. I do not know how my wife and I finished it all, though it was tasty.

We were promptly seated and ordered some of the local white wine which is always great and super inexpensive. We split a few antipasti including a misto which had, among other offerings, fried zucchini flowers and crispy calamari, all were great. I selected the gnocchi which came with a light cheese sauce that accented the fresh spinach pasta. be advised that service, like most southern Italian locations will be slower, but that is part of the charm, you won't be rushed. Also be prepared to be sung to by the owner's father who loves to entrain the guests. Yhey have a free courtesy car if you are in Praiano.
