Trattoria Da Armandino In Praiano

One of the best restaurants close to Amalfi and Positano

The food was good. We enjoyed the fresh seafood. Show up earlier in the evening because the restaurant gets crowded after a while

We visited there several times during our stay on the Amalfi Coast. We always enjoyed excellent food. Very good value for money.

10/10 experience, the best meal that we had our entire trip to Praiano! A friend recommended Da Armandino to us and almost every single local that we met also spoke very highly of the food, service, and view and let’s just say that it did not disappoint! The best dish that we had was the shrimp pasta (Scialatielli con gamberetti e rucola). The shrimp here is different than shrimp that we are used to in the United States as it was similar in consistency, flavor, and taste to that of lobster which made it all the better. A week later I’m still talking about this pasta, I can’t wait to go back!!!

Lovely little restaurant with great food in a great setting! We went on a rare rainy night and it was still full! Lemon risotto and the squid pasta were delicious!

Very nice restaurant where the food was delicious! Nice setting, wooden tables, in a small cove. The risotto al limone was top notch, I recommend it. A good time spent in this place with a more typical than touristy feel.

Armandino was amazing the food was great and service was excellent what a romantic dinner we had

Category: Seaside restaurant, tourist area. There were a few differences between this trattoria and most of the others in this seaside grotto: it was busier, many of the guests seemed to be locals, and there were people waiting for tables. Speaking of the grotto, the restaurant is nestled — somewhat Petra-like — into an immense, soaring rock wall and the tables are sheltered by the overhang of the rock. Yet just beyond the rock is the beach (also rocky) and lagoon from which the water taxis come and go. It was a thoroughly enjoyable setting for our dinner, which was aided by the wine list, which offered sufficient choices under 40 Euros (our sweetspot for restaurant wine). In fact, we chose a tasty, tannicy local bottle for 20E (we always try to drink the local wine in Europe). It’s simply not necessary to spend much money on wine in Italy. It was hard to choose from the menu’s wide range of seafood-centric choices. I loved my order of tiny sautéed clams and especially the bread soaked in the juice at the bottom of the bowl. Sarah and our friend loved their Parmigiana di Melanzane (aka in the USA by the far less romantic name: eggplant parmesan, but sans pasta). It was the best I ever tasted, by far, soft, gooey, delicious. My other friend loved his Misto de Pesce Marinato (mixed marinated seafood). For my main, I chose the house-made Linguine agli Scampi 🍤 . The fresh scampi were presented in their shells, which made for a more interactive and delicious meal (don’t make the common American mistake of confusing scampi, which are like little lobsters, with shrimp). The pasta was perfectly toothsome. Sarah enjoyed her Polpo, Patate e Verdure Croccanti (octopus with potatoes and crunchy veg), which was an antipasti, beautifully presented. Our friends enjoyed their Gnocchi Pomodoro and Scialatiella (a short, thick, flat noodle that originated in Amalfi) con Gamberetti e Rucola. Excellent service at typical Italian speed.
