07/04/2026: Delicious food! Excellent value for money for the region. Friendly staff and generous portions!

05/12/2025: We were guests at Hotel Poseidon and made a reservation at Il Tridente expecting a safe, professional dining experience. Instead, my family endured an incident that could have killed my son, paired with some of the worst behavior I have ever witnessed from a manager in hospitality. We clearly informed the staff that my son has a nut allergy. Despite this, they placed a starter breadbasket on our table with no explanation whatsoever—and it contained nuts. My son took a bite, unknowingly. Only 20 minutes later did a waiter return with a “nut-free” basket and admit the first one had nuts. We had not been told, warned, or advised at any point. I raced up the entire property—multiple elevators and several flights of stairs—to grab his emergency medication. Anyone familiar with allergies knows that within minutes, this mistake could have become deadly. My son’s life was put at risk because the staff failed one of the most basic responsibilities of a restaurant. But what made this experience truly appalling was the manager. His behavior was not just unprofessional—it was shockingly rude, dismissive, defensive, and outright hostile. As I explained what had happened, he repeatedly cut me off, raised his voice, and insisted his staff “would never” make such an error. He acted as if I was the problem for daring to bring up a life-threatening mistake. The waiter himself then stepped in and admitted the truth, proving the manager wrong. Even after being confronted with the facts, the manager still showed zero remorse. No apology. No concern. No accountability. Not even basic human decency while I was shaking and trying to ensure my son was safe. His attitude added a level of emotional distress that was completely unnecessary during an already terrifying situation. For a restaurant positioned as fine dining, this was an absolute disgrace. Mistakes can happen—but the way management chooses to handle them reveals everything about an establishment. And this manager showed a level of arrogance and indifference that is completely unacceptable in any setting, let alone one where guests’ lives are at stake. I will never return, and I strongly warn any family with food allergies—or anyone who expects even minimal respect or compassion—to avoid this restaurant entirely. No parent should have to fight with a manager while fearing for their child’s safety.

05/12/2025: Best place on our stop to Postitano. Great views, food and service! Get ready for an uphill hike, we were gassed! But it was well worth it!

20/04/2026: Heaven, only the fried seafood left a little to be desired, but otherwise everything was perfect. From the welcome dishes to the atmosphere and, finally, the welcome, it was perfect. Thank you, we'll definitely be back.

06/04/2026: Beautiful place with a breathtaking view! Unfortunately, the starters didn't live up to our expectations, but the fried food was really good!

09/04/2026: We had an amazing meal at the restaurant. We received a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint! The restaurant arranged transportation to and from our Villa and worked to accommodate a gluten allergy. The staff was amazing and the food was a great way to cap off a trip to Italy. Would highly recommend! We had a mix of starters and everyone had great portions for the main courses and the desserts capped off a great night.

20/12/2025: Limited flexibility in editing the food items which is standard in italy but they were very kind to us as we are vegetarian. They made us Gnocchi sorrentino and it was the best italian dish I may have had in my whole life. Ate it twice in a 3-4 day stay in positano. Honestly if you are vegetarian the dish will not disappoint it is hands down created for the gods. So fantastic! The tomato sauce and the basil really shine through the dish, it is truly something special! Beautiful family! Cheers to the chef making such an extraordinary dish, yet so simple. I refuse to eat Gnocchi anywhere else because I don’t want to be disappointed. Truly hand crafted!

22/03/2026: A small, cute place in a beautiful location. Good traditional homemade cuisine and moderate prices.

02/11/2025: The restaurant was exactly what you'd expect in an Italian mountain village: good Italian cuisine prepared with creativity and imagination, accompanied by a good wine or even a beer. Since we were staying in the village, we ate there often and were never disappointed.

13/04/2026: Highly recommended restaurant! The quality of the dishes is top-notch, everything fresh and prepared with great care. The fish in particular was delicious; you could immediately taste the freshness and quality. Excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere. I always recommend it to everyone.

13/04/2026: I'd never been here before and I was really impressed! Great experience! The quality of the food was truly excellent, everything was so fresh, and the fish was exceptional. You can really taste the care they put into choosing the ingredients. We'll definitely be back!

08/04/2026: Hidden gem in a quiet street with big portions, good food and fair prices. Relaxed and unpretentious, it was a welcome respite from some of the hustle around the coast. No views but a pleasant atmosphere. Had crab and zucchini pasta with a beer—and it was a large portion! Would recommend to any in the area

08/04/2026: The best restaurant in the area by far. Loved every dish we had. The octopus with potato was cooked to perfection, the scialatielli with seafood was amazing and the portion was generous, and the catch of the day was absolutely delicious (a bit pricey). The kids loved this place. The service was excellent. We had a little accident with our little one who threw up, and the owner was attentive and made the dining experience great despite the incident. This was the last meal we had in the area and it blew our minds. I wish we had tried it earlier. If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

06/04/2026: We had lunch at Easter, and everything was excellent. The à la carte menu didn't require a fixed menu, and included pizza for lunch! Wonderful legume soups, handmade pasta dishes, and flavorful meats! The boiled potato was a must-try as an entree, topped with the three exceptionally flavorful olive oils from the mill! Rustic atmosphere, a few playthings for the little ones, and free parking for everyone! We'll definitely be back!

06/04/2026: For my first time there, I didn't go all out with 5 stars for everything. But, as the granddaughter of a Cilentan grandmother, I think I can say that the fusilli with mutton sauce deserves full marks.

02/04/2026: Trattoria Da Armandino sits right on the beach next to the marina, we stopped in for an excellent lunch. Everything we ordered was outstanding, with the scialetelli and clams, seared tuna, and fried mozzarella being our favorites. My son said the cannoli was the best dessert he has ever had, but I thought the homemade lemon cake was even better. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and checked in with us often.

25/03/2026: Everything perfect and delicious

05/05/2026: Delicious food and great service :)

30/04/2026: Delicious !!! They were able to accommodate us inside without reservation ( I’m sure outside was great, but we took it since we were very hungry) great wine and the pizza was absolutely delicious ! I got the Napoli and my partner got the Diavola! Great to re charge some energy. The location is great, the town it’s a little confusing but that was the first route we took and that was the only restaurant on the way. Great choice!

28/12/2025: Location: 2/5 An '80s-style restaurant in the Salerno hills. Welcoming and homey, but decidedly out of the way. Menu: 4/5 Good seafood selection, varied and high-quality, carefully prepared. Service: 4/5 Attentive, professional, and efficient, even with large tables. Bill: 4/5 Excellent value for money.

14/12/2025: A lovely evening in a quiet setting. The kitchen was well-organized. Everything was delicious. Antonio gave a warm welcome. Excellent service.

07/10/2025: We went to dinner, and everything was good.

28/09/2025: Had a great experience. Got the lemon pasta, pizza and dessert. The lemon sponge was great and we got ricotta-stuffed pumpkin flower as a starter on the house as well as limoncello with the bill. Would recommend for dinner if you are staying in Scala, the staff was very kind and attentive.

28/03/2026: Excellent delicatessen and hot food outlet where you can find reasonably priced first courses, second courses, side dishes or sandwiches that you can also eat on the premises, ample parking and very helpful and friendly staff

27/02/2026: A must-see for over 20 years, a must-see when heading towards Cilento.

28/03/2026: Nonna Sceppa is a place worth preserving. The ingredients and preparation are of the highest quality, with simple yet perfect plating. It's rare to find a restaurant that achieves excellence with both fish and meat, vegetables, and desserts. The quality/price ratio (for the quality) is also excellent. If I really had to offer a suggestion (not a criticism), I'd say that the owner and his sons are a bit cold and aloof, especially when ordering, where a touch of friendliness would be preferable.

10/03/2026: We had two fish-based starters, both excellent quality and generous portions. For our main course, a delicious fried calamari. The place may be a little dated, but the management and the quality of the food make it worth a visit, even if the prices are a bit high.

18/12/2025: Exceptional, just steps from the Paestum archaeological site. A must-try.

15/10/2025: Fantastic. You can eat delicious meat here, perfectly prepared. The desserts are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The waiter, Giovanni, is super attentive and friendly. We'll be back for dinner.
