I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Salerno

17/06/2025: Great atmosphere, beautifully prepared, and above all, delicious food. Everyone will find something to eat here. Highly recommended restaurant. :) Thanks Alberto for the great service!

05/06/2025: The food was okay, but certainly no reason to come back. The service left a lot to be desired. We were mostly helped by a lady with long hair who is absolutely unsuitable for catering: unfriendly, disinterested and downright rude. No greeting, no question whether we had enjoyed it, no interest in whether we had finished eating - she simply took the plates from the table without saying anything. Fortunately, there were two other ladies in service who were okay, but they could not save the whole picture. A cold, customer-unfriendly experience that completely ruined the atmosphere.

03/06/2025: We came here on a honeymoon, having never been at a Michelin restaurant, looking forward to the experience. We left quite disappointed. The restaurant is pretty, and views from the villa are spectacular, but once we entered we got ushered into the restaurant through a back alley so we didn't get to see the gardens. We didn't know what to expect, but the first impression was - air of pretentiousness. Most waiters were smug, but maybe it's what it's supposed to be. We ordered a 6-course meal for two persons and honestly, it was nothing special. Appetisers were bread sticks coated with "special" oil, bread, butter and a tiny dish I only remember as being ok. I've had much better in 10x cheaper restaurants. First meal, that we liked the most was amberjack, which was interesting and delicious, albeit tiny. It tasted like herring which I don't normally like, but it was coated in sweet sauce and melted in my mouth. Next we got "tender asparagus" flower, but it was very chewy, and tasted... like asparagus. The nice sauce it was coated in couldn't save the meal. Third meal was risotto. It was ok. The rice was too hard for my liking and oversalted. It wasn't even that interesting and I've had tastier risotto in supermarket restaurants. Fourth meal was seafood spaghettini, presented in a form of a ball. Interesting, and tasted good, even if too salty. On our trip we ate mostly in Italian food in local restaurants, and I've had seafood pasta 3 times. All of those times it was heavenly. This one was decent, but way worse than any of the ones I had. Next up was sea bass. The presentation wasn't that interesting, just a tiny piece of fish with some sweet sauce. It tasted good, though not mind blowing. Veal fillet was tasty but nothing special. It was presented in an interesting way, with greens stacked on top of the tiny bit of fillet. Last meal was a desert delivered in a half-spiral plate. It looked like a deconstruction of a lemon cake, with different ingredients stacked in different places you then combine in your mouth. Interesting. I've seen this idea before, and that one tasted much better. We had better-tasting deserts in cheaper restaurants. In total we paid just short of 700 euros. I expected to pay 500. It's extremely overpriced, in my opinion, considering the price-value ratio and the wait times between meals were around 20-40 minutes - very long. In the end, we even got charged for things we haven't ordered. For instance, we ordered 2 non-alcoholic cocktails for 14 euros each. After finishing them, the waiter asked if wanted a refill, which we DECLINED. The bill said 4 cocktails, so we got charged for them to ask us if we wanted a cocktail, not actually receiving one. As soon as we sat down at the table, the waiter brought a bottle of champaign to us, showed it and poured 1/3 of the glass each without asking or saying anything. We tasted it, and he asked if we'd like wine or cocktails, and we said we don't want alcoholic drinks. In the end, each of the 1/3 glasses cost 55 euros, or we inadvertently bought the whole bottle for 110 euros we didn't even want or drink for the most part. Maybe it's just my ignorance and I should've done something differently, but it felt borderline scammy. But what irked me the most was that the waiter asking if we wanted water, to which we replied yes. He went on a tangent of how pretentious their water was and we asked for a bottle. It cost 14 euros. For bottled water. That you can get in a supermarket. Why? They added no extra value... Did they pour it from some pretentious pitcher containing lemons or rosemary or any some nonsense? No. Just regular bottled water, poured in a regular glass. All in all, I do not recommend this experience. The meals overall taste fine, but much much worse than what you can get in ANY of the surrounding cheaper restaurants. Just choose one of those, save 600 euros, and have a nice evening with similar views, better-tasting meals and unpretentious service with honest pricing. Try Vittoria restaurant in Ravello, just 300 meters from the villa.

28/05/2025: We were really looking forward to a dinner experience at Il Flauto di Pan and I even reached out months before reservations were open. Unfortunately, we had a medical emergency the day prior and both of us were very ill, so we could not make it. We could not give more than 12 hour notice and were expecting to get hit with the hefty cancellation fees (100 euro per person), but both the man who answered the phone and Violetta were very understanding and, upon verifying the medical emergency, waived the fees and canceled our reservation. We unfortunately never recovered intime to attempt to attend on a different day, but we hope to have another opportunity in the future.

26/06/2025: A place in front of the Pestum excavations and a beautiful little river, with freshly caught fish dishes, very good, with qualified staff, recommended with all my heart! Very good prices for a summer holiday restaurant!!!

21/06/2025: Wanted to order dinner and desert, stood and waited patiently while 6 staff ignored me and finally got seated at the very back by the toilets because solo traveler. Given a glass of wine and otherwise ignored for the remainder of my time there despite trying to order food. Lovely spot and interior, but terrible service. Can't say I got to try the food

20/04/2025: Ottimo ristorante dove mangiare i sapori del territorio, tra cui la colatura di alici. Tutto buonissimo! Staff davvero gentile. Da ritornare sicuramente

15/04/2025: Cena buona nell’ insieme, personale gentile, locale molto pulito e con cucina a vista…. Vino ottimo consigliato dal proprietario…

06/06/2025: I booked a room here at the refundable rate (you must pay in full up front), and spoke with Tania via e-mail. She was response, give a few days, and very helpful. However, a month later when I unfortunately needed to cancel the entire trip due to a personal situation, I received no response to multiple e-mails asking for the refund. It has been weeks with no response. Be aware that even though there is a refund policy, it seems they do not honor it.

18/05/2025: In the Boccacelio room, it was impossible to rest because of the noise of a motor that ran 24 hours a day (it was like sleeping next to a kitchen extractor fan). Contact with the hotel management was only via WhatsApp. They were very, very sorry but offered no solution or compensation.

19/05/2025: Great food, friendly and professional staff. The seafood appetizer is very varied and I could taste the sea in every bite. The grilled prawns are really delicious. I recommend it to everyone !!!!

29/04/2025: Typical traditional trattoria, fast and friendly service, good and satisfying food.

06/06/2025: The service was fantastic! The staff was incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. Went out of their way to assist us with the food and other questions we had. Highly recommend!

05/06/2025: TOURIST TRAP. Extremely Not Recommended. The prices displayed on the blackboard outside are not fair because then when you sit at the table in the menu the prices increase significantly. Mediocre food, nothing special. And the owner initially seems friendly and nice then when you are at the table he ignores you all the time and insults his waiters during working hours.

17/06/2025: Tutto perfetto, pietanze abbondanti, buonissime. Giusti i tempi di attesa. Unica pecca il servizio. Venendo da Genova ( a detta di tutti molto poco accoglienti) abbiamo trovato poca cordialità.

05/06/2025: Het was goed genoeg. Snel en veel pizza keuze en andere dingen. Niet duur. Qua sfeer kan het wat beter. Rommelig. Maar de pizza is goed.

27/06/2025: The best ice cream ever. Congratulations

19/06/2025: The ice cream we ate was good and not too sweet. There was a wide variety of flavors to choose from. We had blueberry sorbet, melon sorbet, strawberry sorbet, and salted caramel ice cream.

11/05/2025: We went to this restaurant without much expectation and we were very well attended to, and the meals we ordered were delicious and at a fair price. I highly recommend it.

26/04/2025: If I give one star it's too much, we had 5 ice creams, we only received the cone with a hint of the flavours, in the meantime we sat down while we were already finishing the ice cream (given the size), the waiter arrives and asks us to get up as those who get the ice creams cannot use the tables. I absolutely do not recommend as customers are treated not as people but only thinking about takings and money.
