The highlight was definitely the local red snapper baked in the oven. Super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and they filet it right in front of you. Staff was attentive and friendly too. I ordered the fusillani cacio e pepe without the tuna tartar, but it came out covered in raw tuna. The waitress was hesitant to fix it at first, though she eventually did. The pasta itself was fine -- cheesy and tasty enough. Menu's a bit limited, but overall it was a decent experience. Good fish, nice staff, but a few hiccups.

Lo Smeraldino was easily one of my favorite meals in Amalfi. Everything we had was amazing…read more First, the Napoletana pizza with anchovies. LOVE. I already love anchovies, so this was an easy choice for me, but the combination of the salty anchovies, mozzarella, tomato, and that crust was so good. I would order it again without even looking at the rest of the pizza menu. We also had the handmade Scialatielli with seafood, which I initially remembered as some type of pappardelle. It was filled with seafood, including mussels and shrimp, with tomatoes and fresh pasta. Exactly the kind of pasta you want to eat when you're sitting along the water on the Amalfi Coast. The Local Sea Bass Fillet in Salt was another standout. The fish was light, fresh, and beautifully prepared, served with sautéed escarole, capers, and olives. It was simple in the best way, where the quality of the fish really came through. And of course, tiramisu for dessert. Delicious and the perfect way to finish the meal. The setting makes everything even better. Lo Smeraldino sits right along the harbor, slightly removed from some of the craziness in the center of Amalfi, with beautiful views of the water, boats, and coastline. It has that relaxed seaside Italian atmosphere you imagine before you ever get there. Service was warm and attentive, and we never felt rushed through the meal. Five stars without hesitation. The seafood, the homemade pasta, the sea bass, the tiramisu, and especially that anchovy pizza. I absolutely can't wait to go back.

This restaurant is on the outskirts of Amalfi meaning it's a little outside the city center. When…read morewe first arrived, we were asked if we would like food or just drinks and we wanted food. We were seated right next to the rail of the water which was beautiful. The scenery was the only reason why this is getting 1 star. The server was nice but he came around to ask us what we would like to order quite a few times. It seemed as though they wanted to ensure that we were going to order food.. a bit odd. This is what we ordered and our ratings: - grilled mixed fried fish: 4.8/10 it had good variety of fish but nothing was seasoned so everything was extremely fishy - chicken with potatoes: 1/10 literally could not eat the chicken because it tasted disgusting. reminder to self to not order any chicken when at seafood restaurants/cities - scailiatelli with shrimp and tomatoes: 5/10 average seafood pasta, light on seasoning again For the price you are paying here, you would expect incredible food and service but that was not the case at all. It's important to note that it was basically empty as we were only the 2nd table there in the beginning. This place put me off both chicken and fish. Would not go back and would not recommend.

There was one Italian couple, otherwise it was all tourists. It was almost criminal for the Caprese salad they served. There are the most beautiful tomatoes here in the world. They accompany every meal. But yet at this restaurant they were pale and tasteless. Pizza was unmemorable. It is fresh. That's about it. The raviolis were good. Really good. Unfortunately the rest of the meal didn't come close. In the waiters defense, he did take the gnocchi I had ordered and replaced it with ravioli without asking. LOL.

Giuseppe was super responsive, organized pick-up and drop-off for us and ended up being our server for the evening as well. The salad we had to start (with the avocados) was a very delicious start.
