This place attracted us for a dinner because of the high review score. However, It was disappointed. Both pastas are salty, all the foods are not comparable from what got during the last 10 day's stay in Italy. Be careful, it is over rated read more

Ristorante il Chiostro - I ordered the pork with potatoes and the sauce was amazing. - Seafood Near Me - Amalfi, SA

All pasta is made from scratch, evident from the first bite to the last. The lasagna is cheesy and flavorful with a creamy red sauce. We also had the pesto pasta, it has various seasonings on it and is not too strong. You can taste the pesto but it is not overpowering the other flavors as a pesto pasta in the US would. read more

I want to go back! Great location, and sitting outside is so nice under the basilica. Food great: homemade pasta cooked perfectly of a pasta that is on my foodie list: Scialatieli al pesto Ceterese which has colatura di alici and bottarga (primi) which I could eat daily, Frittura Mista was great (secondi). The lemons are amazing here. I don't ever suck on lemons but these are beautiful! I like arugula, but I love their "rocket" arugula here. We also had the stuffed pumpkin flowers (apperitivo) which were pretty good. 1st dinner on Amalfi @ 19:00 & a 5 min wait on a Monday to get an outdoor table for 2 during 2nd wk of Oct. weather 70º wear a light jacket. There are mosquitoes out so spray yourself. Good house wine. Great service. read more

Yelp highly-reviewed restaurant.. I'm there! I had the pleasure of dining here with my love and although it was a tad challenging to find, it was worth the extra effort. The food was delish, the service was too notch and the ambiance was romantic. We sat outside on a narrow Italian-way listening to beautiful music from the restaurant next door as we ate our food. I Highly recommend this restaurant, flavorful in every way. Handmade and delish. Must go- excellent Italian pasta in Amalfi coast. read more

The best meal we had so far in Amalfi! We came with a family of 6 and every dish was excellent! We had the lemon shrimp pasta, the sausage and mushroom pasta, the lasagna, the bruschetta the eggplant parm. All was delicious!! Highly recommend. read more

amazing food and experience. Highly recommended place to eat and a good vibe as well.

It is a touristy place but the location sells it. Outdoor seating right at the Amalfi Duomo is something to experience at night. We've been two nights out of our 7 because of the Tortollini which is really great. I've had pizza one night and spinach and ricotta pesto ravioli and wow! Make sure you save room for desert like the lemon creme cake. A really great place to dine while you relax in Amalfi. read more

Amazingly fresh seafood, pasta that is cooked properly (al dente) and great wine. We will be back as this has been one of our best meals in Italy. read more

The food here is absolutely exquisite! Chef's choice included a type of pasta only made in Maiori, with red shrimp and zucchini in a fabulous sauce. Starter of scallops in a pumpkin sauce that was a beautiful combination of tart and sweet. About to try the tiramisu. And it has AC! read more

Very nice dinner, EXCELLENT service and very large menu. Sat outside very enjoyable. Italian restaurants are like strip joints in the US, they have men all ages or girls trying to lure you inside ~ Amusing practice that I've gotten used to ~ happy this isn't an US practice read more

The food is delicious with beautiful presentation. The service is amazing and the ambiance is great. The directions are a little misleading- once you go down the street, the restaurant is to the left of the large staircase. Highly recommend if you are in Amalfi. read more

If you come to Amalfi and want Mediterranean seafood in a really nice setting, go here!! Not as hard to find as some of the other reviews have stated. Up the stairs o the left side of the Duomo, walk 10paces down the alley and it is on the right. Outstanding food And really good service. read more

The food was amazing. I had a house special pasta which was lobster pasta. Service was very good. It was also empty. We went around 6. It was a bit hard to find as it was up some stairs and a little out of the way, so we asked a nearby store keeper for directions. Well worth the extra effort to find the place. I gave the waiter a cash tip. He was very happy and gave all of us a free shot of limoncello. read more

Tucked away behind the Basilica in the middle of Amalfi is this small, lightly air conditioned room restaurant. The staff speaks English and then have a nice variety of menu items. Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time to spend in Amalfi as we were only there for day trip boat tour stop. The food came out quickly since we only got cold dishes. My mom ordered a nice fresh fruit salad. The burrata was delicious and a huge portion of veggies and tomato slices along with some croutons. The capocolla was very flavorful and it came with these pickled artichoke hearts. They were super refreshing. I definitely recommend this place if you wanna escape the tourists for a while. read more

Great supper the other night had veal carpaccio appetizer, lobster pasta and scallops with pumpkin both entrees were chef specials and amazing no room for dessert just enjoyed our wine if you have time in Amalfi try it out read more

Everything about this restaurant is five stars! We had the eggplant followed by Pinocchi and then the Sea bass. Every bite was so amazing. We ended our meal with lemon cake which was the best lemon cake I've ever tasted. The wine we had was for my local wine maker, Marissa Cuomo, and was absolutely delicious. A smooth blend of fruity and dry. Our server Paola was delightful. She gave us a sample of their own concoction of a drink made from lemon, mandarin, cinnamon,, anise, etc. Which was out of this world and sealed a wonderful dinner experience! We highly recommend this restaurant when you visit Amalfi. read more

Ristorante il Chiostro - Seafood Near Me - Amalfi, SA

When I first arrived they had just opened and there was only a couple in the dining area and no one was waiting at the door to greet and i desperately needed to use the rest room after waiting for a few mins, when i went past the waiter i let her know i was going to eat but needed to use the rest room first, upon coming out i went to her to ask where to sit and she tried to tell me i couldnt use the rest room unless i was eating there, to which i had to reiterate that i was eating but i needed to use the rest room first, she said oh and asked me where i wanted to be seated, i ordered there pumpkin cream starter with shrimps it was delicious and my entree was the risotto with prawns, the bread and butter bought to the table was also fresh and delicious, the chef also sent out to start a mushroom cream that was also very tasty, the reason for the three stars was because of the service, my waiter was very attentive to the people sitting across from me and wasnt so attentive or friendly with me, the server named magdelena who was working the other table kept coming over to make sure i was good and that i had everything i needed and was so sweet, food is delicious, prices are good, but there approach wasnt the best. will not return. read more

What a great restaurant! The four of us ate here last night- everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Best food in all of Amalfi! We've been here for 4 days, eaten every meal out, and Ristorante Il Chiostro is the best! The service is outstanding and the wine list is great. Don't miss it! Highly recommended! Our hats off to the chefs! read more

Ok stop what your doing and go here! My family of 6 went for dinner on the last night, wish we went every night, so here's the rundown Pros: the food. All the food was incredible, my guess is stick to the simple things, we got bolognese carbonara lasagna and some bruschetta, seriously all were to die for. We ate like kings for 6 adults and it was $190 euro (with $50 of it being wine) Cons: not many, being American i noticed the waiter had too many tables lmao but i could care less! The wine, we chose a local wine but it had a strange tingle in the front , whatever In conclusion the best food I've had in my 6 days being in this country (Rome , Capri, Amalfi ) Cheers to a wonderful place! read more

3.5 stars We had a pretty good meal at il Chiostro. The lasagna was just OK. The risotto with mussels was way too salty. The house red wine was terrible. So why such a high rating? First, the service was excellent. When I didn't like the house wine, they took it back without charging me. And most importantly, their lemon cake was heavenly!!! It was by far the best dessert we had during our week in Italy. It's absolutely worth going jst for the lemon cake! read more

4 stars for the starter and the pasta. Slightly disappointed by my salad but I guess I made my own bed there... why order salad in Italy when you can get delicious carbs or deep fried fish? To be healthy? That's not what this place is about so I have only myself to blame. Do get the ravioli or The zucchini flowers, both excellent! read more

Best restaurant in Amalfi. On our last day here it was recommended to us by our taxi driver so we went for lunch. Was so impressed by the menu, service, and delicious food that we decided to bring our two friends for a dinner double date. Amazing both times. The 'scialatielli ai frutti di mare' was my boyfriend and I's favorite dish!! This place is a hidden gem and a MUST try when in Amalfi. read more

Deserving of 5 stars. Everything was great from food and drinks to service. We got the mozzarella, tomato bruschetta for an appetizer. For dinner we had the lasagna of the day and lobster pasta. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The tiramisu was both creamy and sweet. Don't miss out on this gem. read more

This was a good restaurant, but not great. I owe the fact that it showed up as #1 on Yelp to the fact that Amalfi is one big tourist trap and you should not expect too much. Other reviews raves about the "spaghetti pasta" which shows me this person does not eat in the same places I do. The food was ok. In any other area they would be put down. In Amiori, I'm not sure the would have made it: too many Italians eat there. I ate the fish skewer, swordfish was a bit dry and the shrimp over cooked. My wife had chicken scallopina, which was good, the sauce a little too sweet. Her carpaccio was very dry and our local wine should have been poured out. We were sports and drank it anyway. read more

Came here after finding out the restaurant next door was full, but the food here was really good and the service was also quite friendly. Honestly we stayed in Amalfi for a week and this place was the best out of all that we tried. read more

We stopped at this lovely little sidewalk restaurant off of the plaza for lunch. The service was exceptional. The grilled octopus was divine, but the linguine and clams were beyond words. The pasta was perfect. My wife had the fettuccine with mussels shrimp an d calamari and it was also exceptional. The wine that was paired with it was great. Don't miss this place. read more

The food was excellent. I was going to give the restaurant 4 stars because they took almost 1 hour to bring the pasta. They explained that they had a big problem in the kitchen and were really nice about it. I ended up with 5 because the food was great. Problem is that they dont take credit card that was incredibly annoying especially on this level of restaurant read more

My boyfriend and I cam here during our stay in Amalfi due to the good reviews and it certainly didn't disappoint. We were the only customers at first, most likely due to the custom of late dinners (we were there at 6:30 pm). We didn't know what to order, but were excited to discover that they had a four course meal either based on seafood or meat, for 25 euros, so we went with that and we were quite full. The total was 57 euros after the cover charge and drinks, but definitely worth it not to stress about what to order. The multiple courses gave us a sense of what was typical of this area as well. The host was super welcoming and friendly. read more

Great food, highly recommend. Great service. Hostess was very kind, patient and helpful. Hand made pasta and local wine are amazing! Don't let hidden alley path fool you and steer you away! read more

Found this place randomly on our first night in Amalfi. Was a bit skeptical because it's a little hidden to the right side of the cathedral (if facing the plaza) and up on a small pathway. We got the mixed seafood with fresh pasta, the warm seafood salad, the spaghetti bognolese, and the spaghetti with clams. Everything was delicious and fresh. We also got the bruschetta capresa which was one of the best I've had. And don't forget to order the French fries. They are so yummy, like having a potato chip and fries and the same time. Whatever oil they fry it in is so light and not greasy! I recommend ordering two portions! Additionally the service is so friendly and fast. I also recommend sitting inside to avoid mosquitos and have access to better WiFi which we needed for our 3-year old. This place serves up some delicious food that will not disappoint. read more

This place deserves a little love. It is behind the main central road in Amalfi, just past the Tavern degli Apostoli, and is easily missed. We just had a wonderful meal of Amalfi anchovies (fried lightly with mozzarella - deliciously light and without an aftertaste), the seafood pasta with regional Sciatierelle (spelling suspect) noodles, Penne Rusinella, grilled lamb chops, and delicious desserts of ricotta cake and lemon cake. Each was absolutely wonderful! read more

Our wait staff was super friendly and warm. The food was good. It's what you would expect from a typical Italian restaurant. Notable dishes were the octopus starter and the fried mixed seafood entree. read more

Definitely a hidden gem in Amalfi! Service was very friendly and courteous, but more importantly, the food was excellent. We ordered the prosciutto and melon, caprese salad, lasagna, tiramisu and pear and ricotta cake. Everything was delicious but the lasagna and pear and ricotta cake were the stand out dishes for me. We shared the lasagna and immediately regretted not ordering one for each of us as soon as we had our first bites. The pear and ricotta cake was the perfect end to the meal. Not being a huge dessert fan, it was exactly what I wanted. Not too sweet but the perfect combination of fresh pears and creamy ricotta. Would come back just for those two items. Highly recommend this restaurant for a highly satisfying meal at very reasonable prices. read more
