Trattoria San Gennaro In Praiano

Very kind staff, excellent parking possibility while keeping the keys, very suggestive location

Mm ottima pasta fresca, accoglienza e gentilezza, oltre alla ottimo cibo

A great place for lunch or dinner on the way to Amalfi. The staff are lovely, and the pasta is delicious! It has spectacular views of the sea and the church.

🍕Lunch with a View at Trattoria San Gennaro, Praiano While exploring Praiano, Italy, we came across Trattoria San Gennaro, tucked near a charming church with a breathtaking view of the Amalfi Coast. We were looking for a quick lunch with scenery, and this spot delivered. I ordered the octopus salad 🐙🥗, fresh and light, while my husband went for the four-cheese pizza 🍕. A note for travelers: the pizza includes blue cheese 🧀, so if that’s not your favorite, be sure to ask for a substitution. Our meal was simple and satisfying, but for me, the highlight was the view and the melon liqueur (similar to limoncello)—so refreshing and unique. ✨ Pro Tips for Travelers: • ✅ Best for a quick lunch with a gorgeous view 🌊 • ✅ If ordering pizza, clarify your cheese preference 🧀 • ✅ Don’t miss the house-made melon liqueur—it’s a gem 🍈 Pros 👍 • Lovely coastal views 🌊 • Great location near San Gennaro church ⛪ • Fresh seafood & traditional pizza 🍕🐙 • Local liqueur was outstanding 🍈 Cons 👎 • Pizza comes with blue cheese (not for everyone) • Simple Octopus salad (not grilled) with lemon juice as dressing (lack flavoring.) 🌞 Trattoria San Gennaro may not be fancy, but with its coastal views, fresh bites, and unforgettable melon liqueur, it’s a charming stop in Praiano.

A very beautiful place with a breathtaking view, the food was good and fresh. We were even offered a house liqueur at the end. We had a great time and, above all, a peaceful stay.

View of Positano and Capri, generous portions, excellent prices below the local average....

The best dish I've ever had in my life is the marinaded anchovies (white). They came with the perfect herb, oil, lemon and fresh peppercorn balance. 11/10. The setting is the most magical view of Positano for the sunset over the cliffs and watching as the lights all turn on. We came for dinner twice. The weather on the terrace was perfect in August with a light breeze. It rained one of the nights, but the had a large awning. The cotolette pollo was perfectly cripy with the best grilled zucchini we've had. The fish of the day was generous, perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. The other dishes were simple but classic pesto pasta and lasagne. I already have returned, and I would again.

We went without a reservation, and the man at the door rushed us in. Later, when we told the waitress that I have celiac disease, she brought me two packages of gluten-free noodles to choose from. Before even looking at the menu, she didn't give me any other options. Then she forgot to take my husband's order. When we finished eating, she brought us the bill without asking if we wanted dessert. The food was delicious. I think they were either tired or need to improve their service. The place is nice, right next to the square of Praiano's main church, with a very beautiful view.

Overall, the trattoria seemed rather carelessly run. However, the view of the sea was very beautiful.

The best. Local and fresh seafood.
