Ich glaube ich habe noch nie schöner und besser gegessen. Der Garten und die Aussicht am Abend sind atemberaubend. Ganz ruhig gelegen und unaufgeregt, alles mit Liebe zubereitet. Das Delizia-Dessert war genauso lecker wie die Pasta, die Espressi und der Negroni. Rein gar nichts auszusetzen und eine ganz große Empfehlung!

My wife and I went here on the last night of our honeymoon. Absolute hidden gem in Praiano. Food was amazing and service was fantastic. Very authentic and some of the best food we’ve had in the Amalfi Coast.

Wir waren im August 5 mal (oder sogar noch öfters) an diesem wunderbaren Ort! Der Gastgeber ist so herzlich und aufmerksam. Wir sind so glücklich das wir spontan das Restaurant entdeckt haben. Dieses Restaurant wird mit so viel Liebe und Hingabe geführt. Das Essen ist einfach fantastisch und alles auf der Karte unglaublich lecker. Viele Zutaten kommen aus dem eignen Garten🍆🍋. Es ist frisch und authentisch. Sowas findet man selten. Ein Geheimtipp. Wir würden 10 Sterne geben wenn wir könnten 🌟 Wir haben alles aus der Karte probiert. Es schmeckt unglaublich gut und dazu ist die Aussicht die Beste die man aus Praiano haben kann. Der schönste Sonnenuntergang, romantisch, ruhig und diese Gastfreundschaft sprechen für diesen Ort. Danke für die tollen Abende Paul & Alexandra

This is a place that while still new, felt so traditional. The kind of place that generations from now will still be pleasing guests with their quality selection of several dishes, quaint and quiet space to dine, and feeling of being a part of the family and treated as such. We were lucky to get a table and felt honored to dine here! Check it out for yourself and you will understand.

We visited Roberto’s home restaurant, which he only recently opened, and what an incredible experience it was. Tucked away in his backyard overlooking Positano, the views are absolutely breathtaking. There are currently only six tables, so make sure you book well in advance. Roberto personally looks after the guests while his wife works her magic in the kitchen, creating a truly intimate and authentic dining experience. The service was second to none. Roberto only takes care of six tables, and after chatting with him, it’s clear that he wants to keep it that way so he can give every guest the attention they deserve. The food was delicious. We had a carbonara and the special for the day - spaghetti bolognese, both of which were fantastic. And the homemade tiramisu, freshly made by his wife every day, was the perfect way to finish the meal. From the food and service to the incredible views and warm hospitality, the whole experience was a 10/10. Thanks so much, Roberto we will definitely be back!🇮🇹

Such a cool little spot. Small menu with great choices. Great view, especially as the sun sets. Roberto was such a sweet guy, and he even brews his own beers, and they are good!

The most amazing family restaurant in Praiano! It was so good we had to come BACK twice in a week! Roberto, his wife and kids are such amazing hosts. You truly feel like you’re visiting family on vacation, the views from their home are amazing, and the food is incredible!! You must ask about their local beer. Roberto recommended it to my husband and it was so refreshing, nice and light! We’ve already recommended this place to our friends we met in Italy but will definitely be recommending this for everyone we know! You must go here!
