We did manage to throttle back and not eat all of it lol, as we wanted to still enjoy our starter and pizza. The oils provided were the perfect compliment for the bread, the salad (and the crust of the pizza). Salad was fresh and light. Pizza rolled out next and we still believe this to be the best pizza we ever had. Not heavy, but filling. The flavors were so rich and bright. Of course I had to have a local beer which paired well. The seating was outside, which was covered in an ivy like feel. It was lemon trees providing adequate sun coverage and of course looked beautiful. We would highly recommend checking out Donna Stella if you're in Amalfi.

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.

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.

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!
