Al Mare - AMALFI

This was a recommendation from our host. The food and service were excellent. We were not able to have a table outside and inside the lighting was very bright. A small thing, but overall it was a beautiful meal.

We enjoyed our meal at Al Cancelleto. It is near the busy main piazza, so tables are close and the atmosphere is busy. But the service is very warm and friendly and the food is quite good. We had one pasta course where the pasta was a bit undercooked well beyond the al dente standard that we know and enjoy but all of our other dishes were very nice and we enjoyed our evening. We would be happy to eat there again.

Food was ok. My wife had the Sea Bass special which is priced by weight , maybe our fault but we weren’t advised of the of an average price and hers came to 49 euro. . I had the tuna and again I assumed it would be tuna steak when asked how I would like it cooked, but it was Tuna belly which I find fatty. Starters were nice. And the ambience lovely. Lesson learned for us check before you order anything by weight.

The restaurant was unfortunately not great. They recommended a wine which was completely different to what we said we like. The food came and was overpriced, €50 for sea bass with a few potatoes. The service was not good as they were understaffed, we waited 45 minutes for the bill and ended up going inside to pay. They added an extra dish to our bill and couldn’t really explain the cost of other items. I really wouldn’t spend a night in amalfi here.

Great, quiet spot off the main square. Everyone was very nice and the food was delicious.
