Our waiter knew just enough English and we knew just enough Spanish/ Italian to get by. The menu here is QR code, but there is little cell reception there for our internet to work. Overall the food was delicious. This penne was so cheesy and tomatoey. The mussels were cooked in a simple salt and pepper broth really allowing their natural flavors to pop. Both the mussels and the lemons were from the Almafi coast!

Oh my god I don't even know where to start. My good friend and I came here after a weary day of…read moreplanes and trains from Nice and we were looking for good pasta around our airbnb. We discovered this gem in the streets of Salerno. Unlike the more touristy cities where people heckle you to try their restaurant (ahem Nice) these guys just chilled and shot the shit with each other until we committed to going in. We were greeted by this jolly Italian fellow (see my picture) and immediately we felt like we had chosen correctly. Ever been to one of those family owned restaurants where the owners just love seeing people happily eating their food? This place is like that! My friend and I ordered 2 beers ( these were huge...2.50€ for 2/3 a liter) and spaghetti ai frutti di mare and regular spaghetti in tomato sauce and calamari fritti. The food was phenomenal. Just look at my pics. The pasta wasn't over seasoned, perfectly al dente and not loaded with salt an instead graciously flavored with the ingredients (seafood and tomatoes really brought the flavor out) and olive oil. The calamari fritti was also super lightly fried and the shrimp inside it was like eating soft shell crab but shrimp! So get this. All that generously portioned delicious food...only 30 euro total. Omfgggggg. I can't eat Italian food back in the states anymore :(

Super happy with our one meal in Salerno!!…read more We had the tasting menu which was fantastic. Our server was super sweet and took the time to explain the tasting menu to us and the various changes that had been made to the menu. For a casual/midscale place, the service was definitely upscale and very professional. The dishes are creative and the plating is beautiful, and it is obvious that they chefs here put passion into each dish they make. I liked all dishes in the meat and seafood tasting menu, but definitely liked some of the meat tasting platter a bit better, as one of my seafood pasta dish was too salty for me. The portions are quite small so you may be hungry later on, but the whole tasting menu only cost 25 euros, quite a deal. I did get a few mosquito bites in the restaurant because it is an open space. There is also outdoor seating with live music but we found the music a bit too loud, and decided to sit inside. There is also a bar seating that overlooks the kitchen for those traveling alone or in pairs which could be a great option to be able to see the cooking in action!

Having been in Italy for a fortnight we were getting a bit tired of pizza & pasta & variations thereof, and were pleasantly surprised by the fish restaurant. The twist with the restaurant is that there is no menu & you are only served what they catch that morning. We had an appetiser menu consisting of marinated anchovies, octopus in a tomato sauce with polenta, seared tuna, croquette with octopus. It was fantastic. In regards to cost we also had two 1/2 Ltrs of house white wine (the choice is only red or white) & total cost was €50. I cannot recommend it enough, if you are a fish lover, go.

The house wine was ok but priced accordingly. They didnt have coffee available for the end of the meal which was surprising. The fish of the day and pasta were very good and not overpriced. My only complaint is that when we ordered the appetizer of the house (antipasti della casa) it is in the menu as "antipasti della casa (5 portions) 13euro" we ordered this, he asked how many portions 4?, 5? We repeated yes the 5. The appetizer was very nice, but when the bill came it was 65 euro for it. In other words they charged 13 euro per portion, not per appetizer, as it is written of course in the menu. This was pretty shocking as it was good but absolutely overpriced and very misleading, though I don't feel they were trying to be dishonest.

It was not a girl (the girl standing there was quite polite and felt bad about her superior's distasteful tone)... The elder lady specifically disrespected me and dismissed me with a clear and emphatic look of scorn before turning her back on me, assuming I'm American (a crime?). An embarrassment of a hospitality owner or employee. I've been all over this amazing country and have only had wonderful experiences... including tonight at the place we went to down the street after this debacle. I was speaking Italian, so certainly no communication problem, and this rude old lady came in and said, "Table for 5?! Hah! This is not McDonald's," and walked away. Wow. Shame on them. Plenty of other good options. First negative restaurant/interpersonal experience ever in this country after coming here a dozen times over the past 25 years.

As with other reviewers, the owner came and explained the menu to us. We were 5 so we ended up sharing 4 appetizers and 5 entrees. Had we known how much food it would be, we might have dialed it back but we wanted to try all the things. The predominant themes in our meals were red shrimp, mackerel and sardines. For starters we shared: The local red shrimp with salt and pepper. I cannot remember the last time I had shrimp so fresh. The flavors was amazing. If you're an American, be advised that these are head on. The anchovy balls with tomato sauce, like arrancini but with anchovies instead of rice. The tomato sauce was rich and flavorful as were the anchovy balls. The fresh local mackerel over salad with lemon vinaigrette., the lemon vinaigrette made the mackerel come alive. So good and substantial. And the eggplant appetizer which made for a nice pure veggie balance. For entrees we had the anchovy pasta, the red shrimp pasta, the local mixed grill of calamari, mackerel and jumbo red shrimp and the grilled tuna. We all shared each other's plates and I can't say there was a true favorite. The flavors were great in each dish. Finally the wine list....I want to say it was at least 30 bottles of well priced Italian varietals. We had the Pecorino which my son agreed was the smoothest nicest wine he had sampled. The staff was just so welcoming and kind. I am glad we went and grateful to past Yelpers for steering us here.,
