Ristorante e Pizzeria Arlecchino, Italia In

We booked a dinner reservation for ten people with children in tow at this restaurant and pizzeria located in the center of Santa Maria di Castellabate. Overall, the place is quite cozy, though not overly large. It was recommended to us for its seafood, though we mostly ordered Neapolitan-style pizza, made with quality ingredients and a good, traditional dough, and two appetizers of raw ham and bocconcini, which, I must say, were truly plentiful and excellent, both the raw ham and the bocconcini. My niece opted for a delicious plate of spaghetti with clams for the modest sum of €22 (twenty-two). They looked good, but they were definitely out of line. A disappointing experience (after an hour of waiting for orders) occurred with my seven-year-old daughter, who was the only one to order sausage and chips (not pizza), and who was left empty-handed because the kitchen forgot her order. Upon our report, they sent us a "pizza with sausage and chips" that we absolutely didn't ask for (which, when it came time to pay, a waitress even tried to charge me), causing my daughter to burst into tears of desperation and hunger. We finally managed to get the dish we ordered, but we had to wait for my daughter to finish her meal, resulting in us sitting down at 9:00 PM and getting up at 11:00 PM! As partial compensation, the chef eventually offered us sausage with chips and some lollipops, all for a total of €157.

Excellent place, friendly and helpful staff, good food

We arrived at 7 pm and were the first guests in the lovely dining room with its wonderful view of the city beach and the sea. The pizzas were delicious, and the pasta dishes were also excellent. The seafood pasta was especially tasty... unfortunately, I've forgotten the name of the pasta. :) We'll definitely be back.

Great location. Good pizza. Large portions.
