My husband, Godmother, and I had an unforgettable meal at La Caravella. Annalara is an excellent waitress who I know will go on to have a wonderful and fulfilling career, due to her kindness, attention to detail, and welcoming attitude.

Bella esperienza ad Amalfi ambiente raffinato e personale attento . C è un pero’ che a mio avviso coinvolge lo chef Antonio : un menu’ ordinato alla carta e’ stato servito ,a mio avviso, con piatti di degustazione quindi diciamo di assaggio come si vede da foto allegata . E poi ….. filetto di pezzogna alla carta : anche qui è stato servita la metà di un filetto . Materie prime di ottima qualità , ma di scarsa quantità. Se è stato commesso l errore teste’ evidenziato, allora è grave .

Muchos mejores restaurantes en Amalfi por la mitad de precio, con mucha mejor relación-calidad precio. Veníamos con muchas expectativas y nos decepcionó mucho.

Low quality cooking. Not worth a stop.

Watch this before you go please! This restaurant is a prank, a lie! Michelin guide please notice this. It’s about the reputation of Michelin guide. I expected this restaurant pretty much. It’s famous for its history and traditional Campanian cuisine and Michelin gave them one star for “High quality cooking” which is totally not real. I skipped to judge the service part. The only thing you need to know is that they didn’t smile at all until you pay for the meal and that’s the end of all experience. When we sit, they didn’t even introduce their menu for today. It was a 7 courses menu. 150 euro per person. Firstly, the bread was so dry. I only ate a few because it cannot trigger my appetite at all. I tried many bread in Europe, this was the lowest quality bread. The starter they called Sushi style but I didn’t see any sushi at all. It was just raw fish without any cooking technics. It was cultural misappropriation. I felt insulted by this dish. (We are Asian.) Then, few dishes were using the same plain croutons, bad chopped, no-cooked tomato dice. If this was how Michelin called “High quality cooking”. I would rather spend 10 euro buy a bread, tomato, olive oil from any supermarket and chop them roughly. And throw the rest of 140 euro into the sea of Amalfi. Almost all the dishes were plain but the scialatielli in their menu was too salty. They had bad taste on their own seasoning. In conclusion, La Carevella has bad service, bad cooking quality, and their 7 courses menu was plain without any sincerity. But the Campanian wine was distinctive I couldn’t deny it. But it definitely doesn’t deserve a Michelin one star. This is a shame I follow Michelin guide and end up a bad experience like this. Let’s see how many people will spend more than 100 euro to eat “this”.
