I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Salerno

30/09/2025: I hate to leave a negative review, but I have to. I used to frequent this bar often, but I'll avoid it. A few weeks ago, I stopped by with a friend who wasn't familiar with it, and he ended up actually liking it. At the bar, we ordered two Cokes at the counter, which my friend paid for, and then two more at the tables outside, which I ended up paying for by card and then we left. We returned a couple of weeks later and ordered more, but when it came time to pay, it told us there were two more Cokes left to pay. It seemed strange to me, so I checked the app, and it showed that I had paid for the Cokes. The girl also confirmed that she remembered me, but she didn't remember my friend. My friend tried to check the app, but unfortunately it didn't work, so to solve the problem immediately, I paid for them without waiting for verification. The next day, my friend accessed the app and verified that the payment had been made, sending me a screenshot. Since I was near the bar getting a coffee, I pointed out, without demanding anything, that perhaps they had made a mistake. The response I got was: "Who's to tell me I created that screenshot?" After a few seconds, I was asked to clear the counter and leave. I didn't bat an eyelid and left. A few hours later, my friend came by, once again not for the Cokes that had already been paid for, but to point out that perhaps they made a mistake last time and that the transaction was valid. Instead of apologizing, they arrogantly wanted to give him his money back and asked him to leave and never come back? At this point, given the incident, I will avoid going back. To err is human, but if you do, at least apologize. I paid for any oversight the day before without any verification and apologized. After verification, I didn't expect anything, but at least an apology to my friend and not for what happened. PS: All things considered, I'm not clear on the absurd situation and I'm wondering: Are you sure the reference table was ours, given that we only ordered two Cokes at that table? But then, why did the problem appear a few weeks later and not when I paid? When I came to pay, should there have been (mistakenly) 4 Cokes listed instead of 2, why wasn't it reported to me? Response to the owner: First of all: I didn't yell at anyone, nor did I take it personally. I simply pointed out, politely, that my friend's transaction had been processed, so I was attacked and kicked out. I politely left without batting an eyelid. Let's dot the i's. I think you're confused: I don't live in Salerno, but in Milan, and I've only been to your bar a handful of times (three this month, and that was years ago). I always pay by card, so it's clear I've never left any open accounts. I've never been chased by anyone to pay: this makes me think you're either confused or making it all up just to avoid admitting the mistake. The problem wasn't the money, but the attitude: instead of apologizing, you reacted with arrogance and unfounded accusations. Without my friend's proof of payment, I apologized and paid without waiting for his verification. After my friend verified that the transaction had been made, I would have expected an apology from him, but that wasn't the case. They know me in Torrione and they know what kind of person I am, so I'll let the reader judge. Best regards, and congratulations to the staff! Ps. You haven't answered my questions above. Answer 2: Dear owner, I see you're being clever by saying there are two different versions of how things happened... The reader, not knowing who you're referring to in your reply, seems to have two different versions, so I'll post the link to my friend here: Dinuxee. So the reader can decide whether the version is different or you're being clever. Best regards

28/09/2025: It's a real shame, a new bar treating new customers this way: I walk in and ask for two Cokes. I immediately pay €4 by card. I sit on the stools outside, everything is fine. We order two more, my friend pays €5 by card. A week later (my friend had been there before), we go back. At the final bill, they tell us that a week earlier we left without paying! We show him the two bills on the bank app, and his response? They're fake, who knows what you did. Then, rudely, he says: "Take the €4 and never come back." I've never seen such a ploy, and obviously I left the money there. Truly ridiculous. I'll gladly speak to the owner; I expect a sincere apology, not the rudeness and deceit of his employees.

05/01/2026: He gave us a packaged, industrial mozzarella with a 30-day expiration date. What a disgrace!

11/11/2025: We reached the place recommended by a dear local friend, with all the products on display like other places. We decided to eat there, and so far so good. We were the only customers in the place, and a girl was having lunch. I ordered some mozzarella, a sandwich, and a dessert for my son. I asked her, "Do I pay later?" because I was going to buy a few kilos of mozzarella to go, and she very annoyedly replied, "No, you pay first, it's the shop's policy." She seemed very rude, and even made me pay for a can in advance... well, basically. I ate the mozzarella and I have to say I've had better. Obviously, the sales assistant's attitude put me off buying the mozzarella to go. Maybe she was having a bad day, but a smile can only do her and the customers good, otherwise the mozzarella will go sour, dear lady!! P.S. At Jemma's, it's better! Even the orders

01/03/2026: This is my second time there, and I've found the service inattentive and slow, and the prices are overpriced. One slice of pizza costs €3.50.

01/02/2026: Great spot for authentic Italian street food! This pizzeria nails pizza al taglio with its crispy, thin crust and fresh toppings. Their Caesar salad was outstanding too. Super friendly staff and quick service make it a must visit for a satisfying affordable meal on the go.

06/04/2026: We spent the Easter weekend and had a wonderful time. The rooms were spacious, bright, and clean, the food was excellent and well-served, the staff were very friendly, and the location was excellent, close to the sea and the city center. We will definitely be back.

05/01/2026: The restaurant is located in the Plaza shopping center and has an outdoor location with a classic homely feel. The food itself is good and the service is quick.

04/01/2026: Terrible experience. We ordered three sandwiches for home delivery, and asked how long it would take, being told it would be delivered in 30 minutes to 40 minutes. But to get them, we ended up having to wait 2 hours for a sandwich that was actually cold...

27/09/2025: Extremely high prices for a restaurant that serves hard, flimsy first courses, and smelly grilled seafood with flies on the side. Awful experience. Absolutely not recommended.

12/09/2025: ⛔️ Restaurant to Avoid ⛔️ Inedible dish. We ordered seafood pasta with shrimp in sauce: very salty taste, unpleasant odor... The seafood was clearly not fresh. If you want to get sick, this is the place to go. Service-wise, a huge disappointment. When we arrived, we were the only customers in the restaurant, but the waiter was rude and impatient. He stood right behind us, staring at us for several minutes, nervously tapping on a neighboring table and making noise with his pen to push us to order faster. We found this behavior extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful. They don't take the time for strangers. Very disappointed by this experience, especially for a restaurant with high prices: we expected decent service and quality products, but that wasn't the case. A very bad experience; I had chosen this restaurant for my birthday. This will remain etched in my memory and not for good memories...

19/12/2025: Impeccable gluten-free and lactose-free pizza. Generous portions. The guy at the cash register/tables is very friendly and attentive.

02/12/2025: I came at lunchtime, it was all empty, it was just me and a lady and they made me wait 1 hour for 2 pizzas...0 stars, shame I can only put 1

07/09/2025: Great experience! The beach club is family-run, well-organized, and close-knit. The cuisine is traditional, using quality ingredients. I highly recommend it, especially for its value for money!

23/08/2025: Two miserable sandwiches with cooked ham and one with tomato and tuna for €12! Absurd. Without issuing a receipt... it's only made upon request. Service courtesy and kindness, zero!

26/12/2025: No Coca-Cola at all. Disregard for cutlery and glasses. Appetizer with stale prosciutto, flavorless salami with only garlic-flavored oil and cheese. It was probably cut with a garlic-stained knife or on a cutting board used for garlic. "Pappardelle ai funghi" was sticky and lacked salt. The meat was ordered rare... It was medium rare. Good, as were the baked potatoes (perhaps dried), but not worth the price. Limoncello was water and alcohol. No cane sugar. Poor service, with constant mistakes and a lack of products. The only thing we appreciated was the view of the pool, beautiful and useful in the summer. The price is not worth what we ate, considering it's considered agritourism.

25/12/2025: Dirty cutlery, dirty glasses, black cold cuts. Indecent pasta. Exorbitant prices. No, sorry. Absurd.

18/01/2026: Everything was terrible: the products were still frozen, the hot drinks were hot, and the sandwiches were just thrown in there.

02/01/2026: I went to McDonald's at Maximall in Pontecagnano at 9:10 PM. The monitors were off. I went to the cashier to order, but they made me wait 10 minutes and then told me they couldn't take orders because they had problems with the monitors. The guys were rude and practically annoyed, with no desire to work. Terrible service.

30/12/2025: Unfortunately I found the mozzarella to be tasteless and the milk wasn't particularly tasty, both the scamorza and the cacio allo had a hint of acidity... too bad

04/11/2025: Be careful what they put in your bag. I paid for two loaves of bread and they only put one. Not recommended!

03/09/2025: Trattoria just a few minutes' drive from Santa Maria. Excellent prices for a trattoria, and fairly good ingredients. We didn't try the pizza, but we did try the meat.

20/08/2025: They make really good pizza, cooked in a pan over charcoal, so it's a different kind of pizza than the classic one. The vegetable pizzas are especially good. The fried calzones are a must-try. I also tried the charcoal-grilled chicken, and it was a delightful discovery. Reasonable prices.

15/12/2025: Very fresh Granita, not so sour like other lemon.

15/11/2025: The orange juice/lemon juice was tasty BUT 15 euro for a cup?? The most expensive orange juice I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’d rather scale a fence and grab my own lemons and oranges…
