With several options available in this small seaside town. This place seafood is excellent and service wonderful . Don't 2nd guess where you should go. You found a great spot read more

It was okay, but it wasn't the knock-my-socks off experience that I'd expected. This was supposed to be our fancy dinner of the trip, but it was a let-down. The rooms are small; at least one looks out onto the street, so it's noisy. Service was stilted and awkward; our hosts were unhappy that the ladies weren't served before the men. Not all the bones were removed from my fish, an unforgivable oversight at this price point. They did bring out complimentary cookies after the meal. read more

Gemma came advised to us by our hotel just across the way (Floridiana, I totally recommend it) when we had asked for "good pasta" - but we did not get good pasta. Instead we were blown away by a great meal! Up a small alley from the street, winding around a few corners, is the entrance for Trattoria da Gemma, and a little table sits outside. When we arrived, we were told they were all full, but asked if they had anything later. Fortunately they were able to fit us in after 9, and when we returned we were ushered out to an amazing terrace above the street, open to the stars! The food here was some of the best I had on our entire trip, the wine list was by far the most comprehensive, and the presentation of the food was spectacular. Some dishes were almost too beautiful to eat! I urge you to not be hesitant to dig in though, as the flavors the chef combines are superlative! I've had plenty of fine dining experiences in the US, but most of them are "New American" style - Gemma reaches for fine dining expressions of traditional Italian fare, and proves it can be so much more than what you might have thought of as a dish served your local pizza joint. Quite an experience for the gourmand in you. The waiters also add to the experience, wearing white gloves and speaking in hushed tones as to ensure the environment stays relaxed. You might think this sounds stuffy, but that couldn't be further from the case, our waiter was warm, inviting, and even engaged us in conversation for a short time (hushed conversation, that is, haha). Definitely make time for Trattoria da Gemma if you are staying in Amalfi, it was a wonderful experience. read more

The food here was unbelievably good! We didn't have a reservation but got there eight when they opened. They sat us immediately and started us off with a chief appetizer as we drank wine. The pasta was incredible with the most unique flavor in every bite. Highly recommend! read more

My fiancé and I went here and had these best meal we've ever had together. The tasting menus didn't match what we were in the mood for so we ordered a couple appetizers and entrees. The smoked provolone wrapped in lemon leaves and classic-recipe pasta are must haves. A reservation for the patio edge to overlook the street is recommended. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place. We had an amazing experience, and if we are ever in Amalfi again; we will surely return. Make a reservation! You will need it, and it is worth it!! read more

All I can say is amazing. From service to food to wine and grappa - amazing. Sommelier Simone gave us suggestions on wine, appetizers, meals and grappa - so accommodating and charming. It's located in a wine cellar in Amalfi and was the best experience we had while on the Amalfi Coast. Just superb. Bellow is a pic of the paccheri - unbelievable! A must visit for anyone who visits who loves wine and fantastic food! read more

Beyond excellent! My favorite restaurant in my 3 week travels through all of Italy and France. The best lamb I have ever had in my life. The fish was also incredible you could tell that is was literally just caught that day. The service was beyond anything you could ask for definitely a Michelin Star restaurant.

Mom and I just enjoyed a delightful pranzo We had the tasting menu. Little Beatrice had the ravioli. The stuffed anchovies are very unique and the eggplant parmigiana is the best I've had on this trip! That was followed by the house specialty pasta which even my 5yr old came back to the table for!!! Delicious. Then we enjoyed the seafood course which really put things over the edge both in terms of food quantity and quality. That we had to take back to the apartment for dinner tonight!! Dessert. Well the most interesting dessert of the entire trip. Chocolate eggplant. All I can say is you must try it. I was blown away. I will be back and will send friends this way. I would have taken photos had my hands not been so full today. A special thank you to the wonderful service staff and to the Chef. read more

A cute little spot in Amalfi that is in the main square area, and up a small side street. We sat on the rooftop, able to enjoy the beautiful evening. It was a lively atmosphere but fun. The food was delicious here, one of the better meals I had in Amalfi for dinner. The staff was very pleasant as well. Also, as always, lots of places for gelato nearby. read more

High-end, local recipes on a deck overlooking the passage way below. Not to be missed for presentation or taste. Prices are firm but not excessive. read more

Trattoria da Gemma is indeed a gem. Overlooking the Street on a beautiful terrace. The food, service, and execution was brilliant. I had the pleasure of meeting the chef. A place not to be missed.

Not to be missed! Service is amazing, welcoming, and not rushed. The food is even better. I am only here for a day but tempted to go back for anothet meal before I leave! read more

My husband and I went to this restaurant and we were really happy to visit this restaurant since it was recommended to us. Unfortunately, the service was really poor... Usually with small restaurants they tend to be more attentive but this was not our case. We had to ask for the menu, and for our water glass to be filled plus we have to tell them several times to bring us the desert menu... We left disappointed with the level of service. Food was not bad, but also not out of this world either. Our entrees were grilled Tuna steak and the filet... Both needed more salt as they were under seasoned. read more

Our tour group was on a short souvenir stop while in port for the day. The exciting white-knuckle bus ride along the Amalfi Coast culminated in the town of (drum roll please) ... you guessed it: Amalfi. My wife and I sprinted to Piazza Duomo for photo ops at the steps of Duomo di Amalfi. We had a bit of time left so we dropped into the Trattoria as they opened. I craven a pizza Napolitana (w chovies) and wife the black squid ink pasta -- our comfort food when visiting Italy. Hit the spot. Needles to say, our rushed attitude did not win friends with the staff. Oh well. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our pit stop. Drop on in when you're in town. read more

Definitely my favorite restaurant in Amalfi. Cute balcony seating. The food was fresh and delicious. We had four different people with us and everyone found it delicious. The staff was warm and welcoming. I was able to switch between Spanish and English easily. read more

Make reservations as this restaurant tends to book up quickly; we were able to get 930pm reservation the evening before. To sum it up, amazing food..the best thus far in the Amalfi coast (but we still have a few more days here). We split the caprese salad (appetizer) and the paccheri (first course). For the second course, I ordered the bluefin tuna and my boyfriend ordered the lamb. Both were tender and had a good flavor..highly recommended. I will say it took a while to get our second course, and we thought that they forgot to put in our order, but it was worth the wait....... They gave us a few mini tasters on the house and the limencello. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

I have been to this restaurant 3 times and every time we have gone it has been excellent. Went first about 7-8 years ago. Been twice this week. Food and service was excellent as was the seating. Our waiter Victorio was superb. Recommend without reservation! read more

Most expensive meal of the holiday but worth it if looking for a special meal. After asking to sit outside we had a little alcove to ourselves, with very friendly and attentive staff. Extensive wine list and staff happy to discuss it. Lemon risotto to start which was rich, creamy and delicious. We had lemon fish and steak after - great meals, pretty flawless! Declined dessert but were offered a variety of small bite size tasters, like coffee cream eclair, lemon ricotta cake etc which was a lovely way to finish the meal, alongside the obligatory shot of limoncello! read more

Da Gemma was recommended to me by a Naples native who vacations in Amalfi and it did not disappoint! Everything on the menu was incredible. Homemade, imaginative, traditional, extra special. Of all the restaurants we have eaten at on the coast, Da Gemma is our favorite. Enjoy!! read more

While the food may be good here but the service was stuffy and uncaring. It was our last night in Amalfi and we were hoping for the best. Instead we had waiters who gave us disdainful looks as they hurried through their service. There are better places to eat with much friendlier atmosphere in Amalfi!! read more

Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere and wonderful menu. We enjoyed a fabulous starter with 9 different varieties of fresh raw fish including tuna tartare, grouper, sweet shrimp and much more. My fresh catch of the day prepared in lemon & caper sauce was absolutely delightful and my husband loved his seared tuna entree. Highly recommend. Priced right for the quality and high end experience read more

Don't even think of dinning here, way over priced and food is horrible. We thought it be very good and we're very disappointed.

Overrated. I think they get kickbacks from hotels that send their guests there. The house special Gragnano is tasty. But everything is down hill from that point. Overcharging galore should be expected. They aim to up sell you at every point possible. Avoid. It is a tourist trap dressed in ugly Italian clothes. read more

Dining highlight of our Italian vacation. Exceptional dishes and service. We opted for a few of the specials - - starter of a potpourri of crudo in very creative and delicious arrangements, then the eggplant gnocchi and steak as main dishes. You can't go wrong with any dessert. Artistically presented and mouthwateringly yummy. Be sure to book in advance so you don't miss out on this fantastic dining adventure. read more

servizio eccellente, cibo altrettanto. posto allo stesso tempo raffinato ma anche abbastanza tranquillo e con una bella atmosfera. il servizio devo ribadire è di una attenzione incredibile. bravi bravi. read more

We stayed in Amalfi and happened to stumble across Da Gemma. It is above the town square which makes for good people watching and the wait staff is very attentive. The food was incredible. We got the Burrata salad which was to die for, the truffle pasta which was my favorite and one with meat sauce which as ok. Then to round it out we did the fish special of the day with Sea Bass which was nicely prepared. If we had more days in Amalfi we would have eaten here. read more

This spot was tucked out of plain sight and just lucky to look up and see it. The service was fantastic. The food out of this world. The grilled octopus was so flavorful and yummy. The grillled fish with "limoni" came with a nice side of steamed fresh veggies and potatoes. A perfect way to lunch above the crush in Amalfi! read more

Most restaurants on the Amalfi Coast can run more expensive in general, but this one is worth it for the food, service and ambience. The mozzarella smoked in lemon leaves, the Nonna's special pasta and the fish dishes are all delicious and a notch above the ordinary food at most trattorias. We found the service to be friendly and top notch and added to our enjoyment of the rooftop patio nicely removed from the busy street below. I am totally baffled by the few overly negative reviews. This is definitely a place I would recommend if you are into very good food and willing to spend a bit more than the average place. read more

My husband and I made the downhill trek from Ravello to amalfi specifically to have lunch at da Gemma on the recommendation of our ravello hostess. We were tired and starving when we got there and were led to an outdoor patio table. We asked for bread and were about to eat the table cloth when a huge bread basket appeared with hot rolls just out of the oven! Delicious! We ordered our meals and then we received a small amuse bouche when was a small piece of focaccia with tomato and basil cream, simple but nice. We ordered goat cheese rav with tomato sauce which was great. ravioli very soft and pillowy with chunky fresh tomato sauce. The house special pasta had beef and onions with perfectly al dente homemade noodles and was to me, like a french onion soup, and to my husband, reminiscent of a beef stew. Very hearty and delicious. We thought we couldn't eat another bite but were served a small assortment of complimentary pastries for dessert. A nice touch. With a beer and two glasses of wine the bill was reasonable and overall the meal was great. Service friendly and attentive. read more
