"This was the worst dining experience I have EVER had! In Europe, in the US, in Mexico... 100% the worst experience. Let me start by explaining we were staying nearby and noticed the restaurant was empty every night. We thought it looked nice, so my husband and I figured we would give them the benefit of the doubt and give it a try. When we sat down, we ordered a Spritz and a glass of their white wine. 25 minutes later... no drinks.. while 4 staff members are standing around talking and there is ONE other table in the whole restaurant with customers. We asked where our drinks were and I guess they forgot (since we were 1 of 2 tables and all.. so they scurried to make them... TEN minutes later they brought out the glass of wine and the hugo spritz. The Hugo spritz tasted like apple juice. it was NOT a hugo spritz. i kindly asked just for a plain glass of prosecco. they insisted on making me another spritz or an aperol and i asked for a glass of prosecco, again. 8 minutes later.. another hugo comes out. tastes terrible again like all juice. I said please just bring me a plain glass of prosecco only. They then come out with an aperol spritz another 5 minutes later. This spritz tasted like just aperol with sparkling water and no prosecco. I did not drink it... we got our food, which was actually pretty good... then the waiter comes by and says Miss i can bring you something else to drink.. whatever you want if you dont like it. I said oh its ok.. he insists on bringing me something else so i said do you not have prosecco? He says yes we do (even though it seems my spritz didnt have it in it .. so he brings out a glass of prosecco, now an hour later since being seated. The bill comes and they charge me for the aperol spritz they took back that i did not drink, and the prosecco. I said please take the spritz off, you insisted on getting me something else, and I was happy to not drink it. One of the waiters says no you drank the whole thing and then asked for something else I saw it. I was like you have got to be kidding me! You approached me and asked to make me something else! We argued for a second and i said look there is a reason this whole restaurant is empty- its the service! Look around you!” He then told me No it’s because of people like you! That statement is what entitled me to write this review. To blame a customer from another country on the fact that their restaurant is empty and they have terrible service? We were not checked on ONCE while these 3 young men twiddled their thumbs in the corner over 30 empty tables and 4 total customers between 2 tables. We even saw one couple get so frustrated they got up and left. For such a slow restaurant you would think they would want to push more menu items but they never asked if we wanted another drink.. dessert.. any other food.. nothing. All we had was the octopus starter and the linguine between the two of us. We watched the 4 servers stand there and talk the whole time while the two tables sitting there were given 0 attention. I tried to provide them with some service and wanted it to be good, but now I know why it is ALWAYS empty at all times of day. SAVE YOUR MONEY- DO NOT GO HERE. Complete waste rip off. I wish no one to have this experience. Sadly the chef is actually good I hope he can find somewhere to cook with better staff. OH last thing- there was a $3 euro cover charge per person. In the menu it says “cover charge includes bread, oil, and vinegar.” We were given no bread. The whole thing is comical actually as I write this."

We stay at the hotel that owns the restaurant and we had both lunch and dinner: excellent food. We had pizza for lunch which was delicious and for dinne. For starter we had tuna tartare which was divine, for mains we had pasta with zucchini cream and smoked butter which was fantastic. The best we had in the area Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
FILIPPO
Particolare ristorante, affacciato direttamente sul mare nell'incantevole località Praia, tra Praiano e Furore. È stato senza alcun dubbio il migliore tra quelli che ho frequentato in costiera amalfitana. Personale cortese e gentile, servizio veloce e attento, ottimo antipasto e superlativo primo a base di pesce. Vivamente consigliato !!! Meal type: Lunch Food: 5

We rightly ate here on our first night on the Amalfi Coast. The food was excellent; tasty and presented quickly. The two staff who looked after us were engaging; attentive and lovely to talk to. The chocolate and orange dessert is to die for. Of course the location right above the beach and turquoise waters of the little bay are pretty special too. Service: Dine in

We had lunch here a few times while we stayed at the hotel nearby. Other than it’s convenient location right by the beach, it’s just a big tourist trap. The servers get overwhelmed when there are more than 5 tables of people. The food and drinks are priced ridiculously, and the food isn’t anything to be proud of. This is one of the many reasons I probably won’t come back to the Amalfi coast ever again. Service: Dine in

This place is ridiculous!!! Be aware!!! We were waiting 40 minutes to our order when they came to us and to us that something happened and they make it again and it will take 7 minutes, in real time it took another 20 minutes after that we good one pasta dish without taste and fish that was uncooked so we had to give up about food. Not cool, not professional at all. They think they have so many tourists that they can do whatever they want.

We had three fantastic meals (two dinners and one lunch) at Gala Maris. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is above par for the region. Highly recommended for dinner especially. This restaurant has a reputation for beachfront bar food, but the after-hours menu is exceptional and worth the venture for out-of-towners trying something new. *Note: We had both wine and cocktails, and that the price for our meals, but we expected that.
