I had the ravioli, which was beautifully decorated, and my husband had the spaghetti with shrimp and lemon. It came as more of a ceviche and he really liked it. We split the fish dish, which was also very pretty and tasty.

A family owned business over many generations, they do food, service and showmanship right. A delightful flare for describing their specials and menu items. Located in Praiano, you'll find yourself in a postcard type setting with a beautiful Lemon Garden surrounding you and overlooking a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. While the menu was amazing and extensive, I was in the mood for something that wasn't on the menu. So I asked the maître d' if he could accommodate me. Well he was beaming ear to ear because it was one of his favorite meals. He said absolutely we can. I finished every bit of this amazing Linguini and mussels in a tomato basil sauce. It was so good I think I could have done a second helping of it. lol A delicious vino and an, out of this world, tiramisu made for a wonderful experience and fantastic meal. But they weren't done yet. A complimentary toast with a shot of Limoncello was the cherry on top.

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.

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.

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.

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?

We enjoyed our seats along the edge on the deck, the seats were more comfortable and it had a more upscale feel. The restaurant faces the side of Praiano to catch a wonderful sunset. The waiter provided great service and was very friendly. Gave us a great wine recommendation. We started with the seafood risotto, it was the best plate of food we had in maybe the entire trip! So much seafood and wonderful flavor. Definitely give it a try. I had the fresh catch sea bass with grilled vegetables. Great portion size, lots of freshness and well seasoned.
