Best grilled fish on planet Earth. Period. The fresh catch was grilled to absolute perfection--crispy skin, juicy inside, straight from Poseidon's personal stash. The fries? Let's just say I'm considering a long-distance relationship with them. Pro tip: Don't ask for ketchup unless you want the chef to stare into your soul with disappointment. Respect the art, people. Service was top-notch--friendly, fast, and full of personality. And the view? Let's just say I considered faking a proposal just to stay longer. Will 1000% be back. Might move in. Still negotiating with the seagulls.
Our server was not having a good day. The reviews looked good, the food was good, but from the moment we were seated, the evening went downhill. Our server greeted us after a few minutes and asked if we were ready to order and we asked to see a menu first. When she returned, we ordered a few appetizers to start. She then told us to order everything or it would take too long to be served later. The way she said it was kinda rude. We ordered a three item sampler along with a seafood dish. The food was good, but my wife had asked for red pepper flakes, which she bought, but quickly removed them from our table and place on another table. My wife asked for them back, but they never returned. Our drink service was very slow. There was some more attitude during our meal service which prompted my wife to get up and leave the restaurant. We cannot recommend.
While the location and views were lovely, we were disappointed in the service and food. We had lunch reservations and when we arrived, there was no table set up. In fact, it took about 5-10 minutes to get the table ready. We waited about 15-20 minutes before we were able to give a drink order. Since it took so long, we ordered our lunches at the same time. I split the Linguini scampi and it was a nice lunch portion, but the scrimp was disappointing. It came body, shells, claws and all. The tails were about as small as I have ever seen on a shrimp. By the time we got rid of all the stuff you don't eat, there was very very little shrimp left to eat. We were trying to be nice but I felt like we had to keep asking for things. Asked for bread nothing came. Asked again. Asked for oil to dip bread. Nothing came, asked again. I saw one gentleman ask for his bill multiple times and finally just walked up to the front desk. It's a higher end place with ambiance and pricing. I just expect more when I pay 48eu to split a 2 person linguini shrimp lunch.
Lido Azzurro in Amalfi Coast by the bay is an absolute gem of a restaurant in Italy. I had the pleasure of dining there recently and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the beautiful coastal ambiance and friendly staff. The food at Lido Azzurro is simply outstanding. The caprese salad was a delightful start to the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy yet firm mozzarella, and fragrant basil. The lobster pasta was a true masterpiece. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the lobster was tender and flavorful. It was a dish that truly showcased the skill and expertise of the chefs. To complement the meal, I had a glass of their recommended white wine. It was a perfect pairing, and the wine selection at Lido Azzurro is truly impressive. The sommelier was knowledgeable and helped me choose the perfect wine to enhance my dining experience an Italian white dry wine truly exquisite. The service at Lido Azzurro was impeccable. Maria Charla, and Franco were attentive, professional, and provided a level of service that is truly Michelin star worthy. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was exceptional. When ordering I was pretty full from lunch and I made a comment about the lobster pasta probably being too heavy but I trusted our server and she was 100% right. The food was delicate and light, melted in your mouth and left you just about right. Overall, I highly recommend Lido Azzurro to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. The delectable food, stunning location, and top-notch service make it a dining experience you won't soon forget. Lido Azzurro in Costiera Amalfitana vicino alla baia è un vero gioiello di ristorante in Italia. Ho avuto il piacere di cenare lì recentemente e devo dire che ha superato tutte le mie aspettative. Dal momento in cui sono entrato, sono rimasto affascinato dalla bellissima atmosfera costiera e dal personale cordiale. Il cibo al Lido Azzurro è semplicemente eccezionale. L'insalata caprese è stata un delizioso inizio di pasto, con pomodori freschi, mozzarella cremosa ma compatta e basilico profumato. La pasta all'aragosta era un vero capolavoro. La pasta era cotta alla perfezione e l'aragosta era tenera e saporita. Era un piatto che metteva davvero in mostra l'abilità e la competenza degli chef. Per completare il pasto ho bevuto un bicchiere del loro vino bianco consigliato. È stato un abbinamento perfetto e la selezione di vini del Lido Azzurro è davvero impressionante. Il sommelier era ben informato e mi ha aiutato a scegliere il vino perfetto per migliorare la mia esperienza culinaria, un vino bianco secco italiano davvero squisito. Il servizio al Lido Azzurro è stato impeccabile. Maria Charla e Franco erano attenti, professionali e fornivano un livello di servizio davvero degno di una stella Michelin. Hanno fatto di tutto per assicurarsi che ogni aspetto della mia esperienza culinaria fosse eccezionale. Al momento dell'ordine ero abbastanza pieno dal pranzo e ho fatto un commento sul fatto che la pasta all'aragosta probabilmente era troppo pesante, ma mi fidavo del nostro server e lei aveva ragione al 100%. Il cibo era delicato e leggero, si scioglieva in bocca e ti lasciava quasi a posto. Nel complesso, consiglio vivamente Lido Azzurro a chiunque visiti la Costiera Amalfitana. Il cibo delizioso, la posizione straordinaria e il servizio di prim'ordine ne fanno un'esperienza culinaria che non dimenticherai presto.
This was by far the worst meal I've had on the Amalfi Coast. Lido Azzuro clearly caters only to tourists who will never return, so doesn't care about quality or the customer experience. I was seduced by the waterfront location, which is genuinely lovely. But when I (a single woman) sat down for lunch, with the deck nearly empty (the restaurant had just opened), I was coldly asked to move to the very back since I didn't have a reservation. Point of fact: The deck remained only half full for the duration of my lunch. I ordered spaghetti con frutti di mare (spaghetti with mixed seafood). While I waited, the server delivered a basket of stale, generic white bread that might have been served to another party the day before. Not a good sign! When the spaghetti came, with one bite, I knew that I'd been "had." This dish is served by every restaurant on the Amalfi Coast, but in comparison with others, this restaurant: (1) only included mussels and clams, no shrimp or calamari or other seafood; (2) undercooked the spaghetti so much that it couldn't even be called "al dente," and (3) didn't bother to scrub the huge white barnacles off of the mussels. And while I know pasta in Italy isn't intended to be the main course, still, the portion here was tiny in comparison to that served by other local restaurants. Weirdly, despite the high prices and unfriendly attitudes of the staff, the restaurant made you stand in line to pay inside the restaurant (versus paying at your table), which took a good 10 minutes longer than it should have. Literally the only redeeming characteristic of Lido Azzuro is the location and view. For good food or a pleasant dining experience, look elsewhere.
Our driver said if there was a place to eat it would be here. He got us a reservation while we walked around. The view was great. Had I had the choice first off based off the menu I would have decided to go else where. This is a high end restaurant and the food did not meet those expectations. The fish in tomato sauce with potato was very bland and lacked a lot of flavor. The arugula (rocket) shrimp was okay ish. If anything the ravioli was the only good thing from what we had. This was an expensive place, ate everything off my plate and I left still hungry. Beautiful seating just was bleh
Beautiful patio. Nice breeze on the water. Food was good but not what was ordered. I ordered zucchini flower stuffed with ricotta and anchovies. It came with mozzarella and no ricotta. When i asked the server about it she just said No ricotta- we use mozzarella. Well I REALLY was wanting ricotta and it would have been nice if I was told so I could have ordered something else. Also, not sure if she is a manager or lead server-Elana- but she was VERY rude. When we were first going to order we said we would order two items and see how much food it was. She replied "No you ordered all now or takes too long to come ". So hubby and I said ok..... few minutes later we placed entire order. Then someone else asked for hot peppers and she took the bowl off our table and said "be right back" and she never brought it back. After I paid the bill I looked at it and they charged us for a water and we did not have any water- just 2 beers and a Prosecco. When I went back in to tell her about it she was so rude, no apology, just said "I give you your money back madam " and reached in a can for The €3. Thats when I asked her name. I understand everyone has a bad day but when in service industry it affects your entire establishment. Its a lovely place and I am sorry this happened but we will NOT be back.
Wonderful restaurant in Amalfi. Lido Azzurro is right on the water by the marina, a short walk from the center of town. The pasta and seafood are the stars of the show here, but everything is terrific. Given it's location there are a good number of tourists, but the number of locals attest to it turning out great food. Some complain of slow service, but really this is simply the relaxed approach that is the Amalfi Coast.
One of my favorite places in Amalfi, and maybe one of the best meals seafood wise I had in Italy! The plating isn't gorgeous, and it isn't pretentious. I went during lunch time around January and it was just a beautiful seascape and the sound of ocean waves. We had a tasting menu of sorts, as a friend with us knew the owner personally, so the portions in the pictures are smaller than they would be normally. However, everything was incredibly fresh, and you could taste how much love went into that restaurant. It might be a bit touristy due to proximity, but you bet everyone barely speaks English and Italian is the spoken language. Can't wait to go back.
After a failed wine tasting/dinner at a nearby winery, our driver suggested we stop at Lido Azzurro for dinner on our way back to Positano to salvage the evening. He called ahead, and they were waiting when we arrived. The location is great in that it is located on the waterfront and overlooks a small marina. They have interior and exterior seating. Although definitely a large and tourist oriented restaurant, they did an excellent job with regard to food/wine quality, professional service and pricing. We had wine, appetizers, pasta and seafood. All were really good and priced reasonably. The standout at the restaurant were our waiters (Arturo & Eugenio). They were fun and engaging and really spent time with us talking, laughing and making us feel welcome. I was goofing on them and they gave as good as they got. They really made it an enjoyable evening. This is probably not the place if you are looking for a very quiet and romantic experience, but if you are looking for good food, great waiters and reasonable prices, you are at the right spot. Highly recommend.
Wow...the location, the view and best of all, the food! Lido was definitely the perfect place for lunch on Amalfi. Our boat captain Michelle suggested this place. 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. Of course I ordered the frutti di mare and it was phenomenal. 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. read more

Overdue but still deserves to be recognized. Driver recommended and called them ahead. When we got there we were told "Sorry, we are serving locals only" (my girlfriends and I are Asian Americans from CA). When I mentioned our driver made reservations and said his name, well of course she welcomed us! Food and view was amazing. One bite into the calamari and clams, it was like tasting the sea. It was that fresh. The waiter was friendly and funny. It was one of the biggest highlights to our trip of the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommend. read more

If you are exploring the Amalfi Coast and actually stop by the town of Amalfi, I highly suggest you stop by this restaurant by the marina. Recommended by the driver of the car service we were using, me and my wife were pleasantly surprised to eat some of the best pasta we had during our week in Italy. We ordered the spaghetti with capers, olives, cherry tomatoes as well as another pasta the region is known for - the scialatielli with smoked mozzarella, eggplants, cherry tomatoes, and basil. So delicious we wish we could have eaten there everyday. read more
Fresh as possible seafood, usually regionally, or simply prepared. "Limon, limon, limon" suggests the waiter as to which preparation to get. We found the service to be attentive, snarky, and generous. The daily menu card insert actually did change. Sat in their enclosed patio on sea's edge, almost a overly refreshing breeze allowed in one day. Bunch of locals eating there to despite it's obvious touristy potential. I had the local lemon sauced sea bass, and then later had it plain grilled just to have the that great fresh fish by itself. Pasta was as good as gets, clams another fresh sea goody. The seafood risotto (very popular with locals) outdid my old seafood mishmash favorite of the late Milwaukee's Scottie's Crab House's bouillabaisse on I think Sundays, as there was a sweet-spot for when to order it, but anyway... Excellently paired local wines, fresh breads, fresh desserts, some table side presentations happening, all contributed to great meals at Lido Azzurro. In the top three dinners of Italy in my few weeks of exploring. (with San Martino Gastronomia in Monterosso, and some small, near impossible to find, ragu and pork centric fine restaurant open Monday nights [and others] in Bologna, pushing aside Felice a Testaccio and it's famous Cacio e pepe; All'Antico Vinaio sandwich shop in Florence is still best overall eats). read more

Hot take, this restaurant is absolute gold. Its on the water, has great views, unreal fish, and a good vibe. Service could be slow when busy, but the food is more than worth it. Got the grilled mixed fish and you could easily tell it was fresh and probably caught that day. Were here for a week and are 104% eating here again over someplace new. read more
The vibe and the service are great. Beautiful views. Food is good. Dessert is not good. Not many options on that front. I got the Prawn Scampi and unfortunately - it yielded a lot of work, without tools, for not enough result. We enjoyed the caprese and the fusili special was very nice. read more

My husband and I ate here on our first night in Amalfi and were not disappointed. Our server was fantastic - recommended amazing wine, food, and was attentive the entire night. I had the spaghetti with scampi which was easily one of my favorite meals in Italy. We ended the dinner with cheesecake (whipped with strawberries and graham cracker bits...amazing!) and a small glass of mandarino. Not only was the food fantastic, you cannot beat the view! read more

A beautiful spot on the sea, looking back towards Amalfi. Delicious simple food. My wife and I shared the seafood risotto - fabulous deep flavour and perfectly cooked rice. Then an expertly grilled seabass with cherry tomato and rocket salad. And to finish a light lemon tiramisu. We drank a bottle of falanghina, a great local wine. As the sun set the lights started twinkling along the cliff side and the silvery full moon shone across the sea. Heavenly. read more

This place was recommended to us by our driver from the airport as the best spot in Amalfi. We had a truly wonderful dinner. Our server spoke English, and was very helpful with both the wine and food recommendations. We enjoyed three courses: pasta, seafood and desert. The meal was perfectly paced. Highly recommend. read more
