The restaurant Le Palme is located in the beautiful village of Atrani. Here you can taste delicious Campanian and local food with a very friendly staff.
The rastaurant give you a special atmosphere that it feel like at home.
Enjoy your meal!!!
Favorite Dish: I can suggest to taste in this fantastic restaurant the following dishes: Scialatelli ai frutti di mare (home made pasta with seafood), Paccheri con scorfano e noci di Sorrento (a big home made macaroni with scorpion fish and walnut of Sorrento. As main dish I can suggest to try the delicious Pesce locale alla griglia con aglio e prezzemolo (grilled local fish with garlic, parsley and olive oil). Very good is Pesce locale all'acqua pazza (local fish to the crazy water: fish boiled in salt water with vegetables, spices and more). Very good are also Gnocchi con gorgonzola e noci (gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese and walnut).
You must ask to the waiter if you want more dishes or the fantastic appetizer like prawn or fish pancake. The dessert are all home made and change every day: I can suggest to try the tortino al limone (little cake with lemon cream) or the pastiera (Italian cake made with ricotta cheese)

Great location, located to the right of the Duomo in Amalfi. They have an eclectic variety of coffee drinks, chocolate, pastries, teas, and a wide selection of local wine for purchase. If you sit outside and order drinks, they serve it with a small piece of pastry or cookie. See if Coco, a golden lab, will come and sit by you while you sip your coffee. Coco was a mainstay in the square when we visited, and would play with local kids kicking soccer ball or follow you around.

Frutti de mare......that's what my husband and I wanted on our trip in Amalfi. A local fruit/vegetable vendor directed us here when I asked "Dove mangia bene frutti de mare?" There is a tourist prix fixe menu (spaghetti vongole, sea bass, and dessert when I was there) for 18 euros, but the menu is full of other seafood dishes. Waiter was nice, and the bathroom was very clean. This was one of the best meals we had on our trip.
Favorite Dish: My girlfriends and I both ordered the seabass (one was with butter sauce, the other was lemon). Both was delicious. Cauliflower was the vegetable of the day, and it literally MELTED in my mouth. Never had such great cauliflower before!

Of course it's not cheap: it's on the main square (Piazza del Duomo) of a town which makes its living, in the main, from tourism and daytrippers. so I don't really begrudge the high prices, and was expecting them.
But you should know that a 'sugar'cone of gelati will cost 4 euros (prices aren't displayed, or nowhere I could see them anyway). Which is substantially more than one would normally pay (even in somewhere like Sorrento).
Prices apart, the gelati was as lovely as all Italian gelati is.

The atomosphere of this restaurant was actually better than the food. There is a fantastic outdoor dining area and the staff were friendly - offering us bruscetta and limoncello complimentary.
Favorite Dish: We both had pasta dishes that were very good.

I had read about Eolo on VT, so we decided to try it. We weren't expecting it to be quite as formal, but fortunately we were dressed appropriately. The food and the view were amazing. If you have a reservation, you can sit on the terrace overlooking the magnificent view of the Amalfi coast. We didn't have a reservation, but were still able to see with view.
Favorite Dish: I had a ricotta ravioli, and my companions had risotto scampi and linguini with red snapper; all were delicious and complete with a proud waitstaff who removed the silver dome lids with a "voila" style.

Eating in South Italy can be pretty expensive, especially for foreigners, so what better way to save a few euros than to eat where the locals eat. I went into a seafood market to ask where I can find a good place to eat and they recommended Ristorante Pizzeria Il Mulino (even gave me the business card!!). Not surprisingly, they probably supplied the seafood to the restaurant
Anyway, back to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is about 200m from the town square and quite a walk uphill, which helps with building a healthy appetite. Since it's a little further than the town center, the prices are not as high but the food is good. It has two floors and furnished with simple tables & chairs.
Service was also good & friendly as this is a family run business
Favorite Dish: I enjoyed the seafood spaghetti which cost less than 10 €. There was also a spicy baby octopus dish and of course, fried calamari & shrimps

When we reached Amalfi by mid-day, we were already hungry. We didn't want to eat in the touristic restaurants around the main square. We wanted to try a restaurant where the locals go to. My friend asked someone in a local mini-market, and we were recommended to go to Ristorante Pizzeria "Il Mulino".
We found out that the restaurant was a bit far from the Piazza Duomo and we had to walk for about 10 minutes upwards towards the hills, to the back, to the residential area. We had to ask directions a couple of times.
The front of the restaurant is really simple. It is located near lots of residential houses. When we walked in, there was only one table of italian family. We guessed we were early since it was not siesta time yet.
Favorite Dish: I like all the food dishes in this restaurant. The seafood was fresh, and the dishes was delicious. We had fried calamari and prawns, and grilled vegetables as starters, and spaghetti frutti de mare (seafood spaghetti) as the main meal.
The staff is warm and friendly. The service is quick. The prices are very reasonable, as it is away from the tourist area; for example, the seafood spaghetti cost less than Euro 10.
If you want an inexpensive, delicious and fresh seafood meal in Amalfi, do try this restaurant.

If it happens that you will stop at Marina del Cantone, it does not really matter which local restaurant you will choose. All of them (let say 5 in total:) serve fresh fish and frutti di mare.
You can start with
- Zuppa di Cozze (Mussel Soup)
For the first dish I really enjoyed Risotto alla Pescatora, but you can take as well Spaghetti con Frutti di Mare (both really tasty)
If you have already space for the second dish just go for a fish (delivered every evening by fishermen)
ENJOY!

La Galea Rosticceria is located on Via Lorenzo d'Amalfi in the heart of the town. It is a no-frills, self-service cafeteria style restaurant that can pack up your food for take-away or provide disposible cutlery for dining at one of their tables. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but they serve good food at great prices (particularly considering prices at neighbouring restaurants).
Upon entering you will notice a very large display case filled with their daily offerings. They usually have a couple of different types of pizza and then a mixture of appetizers and main-dishes for people wanting a more substantial meal. You're not going to do your heart any favours by ordering here, as their specialities include calzones, deep-fried cheese balls and stuffed zucchini flowers (which are, unsurprisingly, stuffed with cheese and deep-fried). When I visited, I chose the eggplant parmesan and it was very good. You could get the same things at three times the price at a North American restaurant. My food and bottle of water came to EUR 6.50.
This is a great place to eat when your wallet is feeling a bit stretched. Amalfi can be expensive and you get the feeling you're being exploited in some restaurants... but not at La Galea!
