A first to leave a negative review, but this experience deserves one…read more We visited Lido Azzurro based on a recommendation while spending several days on the Amalfi Coast. Up until this meal, every restaurant we had visited was excellent. This was, without question, the most disappointing dining experience of our trip. I have traveled extensively around the world and have enjoyed incredible food as well as meals that simply weren't my favorite. Even when I haven't loved a dish, I've usually finished it. This was different. I ordered the grilled seafood, which included king prawns and squid. I didn't eat either of them because the calamari was so tough that my knife could barely cut through it. If I couldn't cut through it with a knife, why would I subject my teeth (that years of orthodontics worked so hard to perfect) to chewing it? The dish was also incredibly bland. My friend's pasta wasn't even close to al dente. It was simply not enjoyable. The food was disappointing, but what made the experience truly unacceptable was the way I was treated. When I explained why I wasn't going to continue eating my meal, the host told me that I didn't know what fresh seafood tastes like and implied I didn't understand how fresh food should be prepared. I've eaten fresh seafood in many countries, and freshness does not excuse toughness or a complete lack of seasoning. Even Ratatouille himself would have jumped into the kitchen and added some seasoning. To then ask if I wanted to order something else after dismissing my concerns felt insincere. Why would I want more food after all of our food was disgusting and clearly I do not know what fresh seafood taste like? If there were a Michelin category for bland food and poor customer service, this place might finally earn a mention. Getting to the Amalfi Coast from the United States--or from almost anywhere--isn't a quick or inexpensive trip. People save, plan, and work hard for the opportunity to experience this beautiful destination. When you finally arrive, you hope for wonderful food, warm hospitality (insert sarcasm), and memorable experiences. Unfortunately, Lido Azzurro delivered none of those. The scenery around Amalfi is breathtaking, but this restaurant was the biggest disappointment of our visit.

We walked over from the dock and we were the first to arrive for lunch. We were promptly seated and served bread with dipping oil and vinegar as well as sparkling and still water.

My brother took it upon himself to order the huge seafood bisque...we also ordered a couple bottles of wine for the table and I had a Hugo Spritz. It was really amazing. The view was unbelievable. I would be blessed to come back to this restaurant. If you're coming off the beach in your swimming make sure to have a cover up. They may tell you to put your clothes on if not.

Then got their grilled local fish with salt and it was done of the best seafood I've had. It was fresh and just had this simple saltiness that didn't take away from the freshness of the fish!

I asked, they said no it was not meant to be cold, and promptly brought me a new warm one. Which tasted good. But then ... the check comes and they charged full price for everything. Like they didn't even knock off the cover for the mistake they made. I didn't ask if they would discount the meal because I shouldn't have to. A high quality restaurant would have done it without putting me in the awkward position of having to ask. They would have just done it because serving a frozen dish is just kind of embarrassing ... especially on the Amalfi coast where they take so much pride in the quality of their cuisine. Anyway, I just paid the bill and walked out. Poor etiquette on their part ... you should not put your customers in the position of having to ask. Just do what's right up front.

The food doesn't measure up to other spots in Positano. I had the Spaghetti with Zucchini (€24) as a first-timer and was underwhelmed. I will assume other local restaurants do it better since the sauce did not impress. Spaghetti with clams (€30), Lobster and ricotta ravioli with thyme, yellow cherry tomatoes and lupins (€40) and Grilled lamb chops with roasted potatoes and vegetables (€35) were 3 other dishes we ordered. Spaghetti and lamb were good. Not big fans of the ravioli because of the sauce again. The service was incredibly quick and attentive-definite 5 stars in this area.

They started with a mini pizza as a complimentary appy. It was nice to offer it, but it was not as special as every other course we were served. We started with the Zucchini Flowers - pictured. These were so delicate and delicious. Very glad we ordered them. I got an Amalfi coast staple dish, Spaghetti and clams - pictured. This one was my favorite version of this dish of the three times I got it at different restaurants in the Amalfi coast. My wife got the gnocchi - also pictured.
