    The food and the lemon spritz are to die for! It is pretty hot here, only some fans. Where they went wrong was the service. Our waiter was rude and didn't check on us once. He got angry with people who decided not to eat here and rolled his eyes at us when we wanted to share a meal. Overall the view and food was good but the terrible service didn't make it worth it.

    For €35 for both of us, we rented chairs, towels and an umbrella at a beach-side bar Stella Maris that had some great drinks (of course we got our Aperol Spritz in!) and pretty great pizza as well - all served to your lounge chairs! Amazing experience and we would definitely come back! Read more about our trip to Amalfi (plus other travel and plenty of German food) on my blog (www.dirndlkitchen.com) - please stop by!

    So I'm on a pizza tour of Italy for a month and this restaurant combined with the view is the best I have had. The view is stunning, the service speaks English, and the pizza is stunningly perfect. This is the one to come to eat pizza. Seriously

    We were recommended this place by our hotel concierge. True, it's more of a locals place. Our waiter, who I might suspect to be the owner or manager, even warned us about that. Which I thought was odd. The food was good but not mind blowing. I had a mixed seafood antipasti for an appetizer and my husband had a pasta with eggplant dish. For main course I had a local pasta dish with locally caught red calamari which was excellent. The pasta was very al dente, which is the tradition that gets missed by so many tourist that comment or raw state of pasta. My husband had squid with potato purée which was yummy. The tiramisu was great, as usual, it's hard to mess up a tiramisu. My favorite part was the drinks. I had a lemon drop martini and it was yummy! The service was great, no one was rude as mentioned in another review. Next day we actually went here for the beach club. For 20 euro we were setup with loungers and umbrella beachfront.

    The food was average and the service was poor. The manager was rude and short tempered. I would not recommend it to anyone.

    Lovely food choices, fine service, good value, beautiful open air views looking out to the sea. Nothing other than a thumbs up.

They don't have anything marked GF on their menu but the server walked me through what I could have. My friend and I started with the La Caprese and they provided me with a GF baguette. For my entree I had the zucchini GF pasta. The pasta was good but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. It wasn't my favorite. My friend ordered the La Genovese with GF pasta and it was really enjoyable. They only had 1 GF dessert so we opted to get the lemon sorbet. They also brought out a few GF candies as well. Overall the service and views were really nice but I wasn't a fan of my entree.

We attempted to contact the restaurant via WhatsApp, which many Amalfi restaurants use for international guests. Unfortunately, Da Gemma wasn't reachable this way, and as international travelers, we had no reliable way to call them directly. The next day, we were charged a €60 no-show fee. Despite explaining the situation to Simone, the general manager, there was no flexibility or exception made. While we understand the need for cancellation policies, the lack of accessible communication and rigid handling of the situation was disappointing. International visitors may want to keep this in mind when making plans. There are many other welcoming and accommodating restaurants in Amalfi.

We were able to get lunch time reservations and chose the "light lunch" of 4 fish courses for 100 euro each. What followed was sheer excellence along with 2 fabulous bottles of wine (the wine list--WOW). Tony provided impeccable service and explanations and Antonio, the chef, even came to the table multiple times to deliver his works of art cuisine. Speaking of art, the restaurant is essentially an art gallery. Beautiful and unique! Cannot recommend highly enough!

They do offer gluten free and vegetarian options but not together. There is a tasting option with 7 courses or à la carte. They do take a deposit of $120 per person 3 days before your reservation in case you cancel. The restaurant is centrally located and easy to get to. You have to ring the bell to enter. They take your coat after you sit at the table. The decorations are of the 12th century applied arts. I had to order à la carte due to being a vegetarian and GF but my friend ordered from the tasting menu. The food and service were wonderful. We both ordered a glass of wine - I had the moscato. They have GF bread that was brought to the table. It was also made with the bruschetta. For my courses, I had the omelette with broccoli, pumpkin GF pasta, buffalo cheese with tomato under lemon leaves, a palate cleanser of strawberry ice cream, and chocolate mousse. We even got to try their Michelin best dessert of 2026 which was the lemon soufflé. It was decadent and delicious. We even had a tour of the kitchen to see the artwork on the ceiling. Overall our experience was cozy and sophisticated with its lemon infused dishes. Would highly recommend!

Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to them. I ordered the shrimp for €26. I received only six shrimp, heavily battered, with nothing else on the plate. For €26, I expected considerably more in both quality and presentation. We also ordered a €9 salad, which was essentially just tomatoes. My wife's food was better, but overall we felt the food was significantly overpriced for what we received. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. Our server took our order and essentially never attended to our table again. He walked past us several times without checking on us. We asked another server for water; he said he would bring it but never returned. Eventually, we had to get the attention of a third person just to get some water. The restaurant was very busy, and I understand that can affect service, but being busy shouldn't mean customers are virtually ignored throughout their meal. Beautiful setting and atmosphere, but based on our experience, poor service and very poor value for the money. With such high ratings, we expected much better. Unfortunately, this felt much more like a tourist-priced restaurant than the authentic dining experience we were hoping for.
