"The food was excellent and the ambience was quiet and, if it was daylight, the view would have been fantastic. The restaurant is high on the mountain overlooking the Amalfi coast. An added bonus was a free shuttle from our hotel in Amalfi (though you should plan to tip the driver because 1) a taxi would cost at least 35 Euros each way and 2) like any ride through the narrow and curvng strreets in the hills around the Amalfi Coast, the drive is challenging. I rated the service a 3 out of 5 only because I did not want that rating to detract too much from my overall rating. It's a small restaurant and they had only two servers (one of whom was new, I believe) and one bartender with an unfriendly demeanor who did not seem to give much of himself to assist the servers. A large group came into the restaurant when my wife and I were about halfway through our meal. From that point onward, it was a struggle to get any attention, to say the least. Getting the check to pay when we were finished was an incredible ordeal. Even after we got up from our table after waiting at least 15 minutes after first asking for the check, and thogh I could see the more experienced server preparing our bill, it still took another 5-10 minutes to present it to me for payment. Still, i would attribute this to the unfortunate circumstances of understaffing and the untimely (for us and, perhaps, the servers) arrival of a large party that appeared to be some important people. I recommend that you give this restaraunt a try because the chef's preparations alone are worth the trip."
