Marina Grande

This Michelin star restaurant enchant relays to the location and views of the sea! Food is good but not as you may be expecting. Service was nice, but casual at the same time (don’t expect fine dinning experience) even-though you will end up enjoying the visit and blending with the magical small fisher town environment for an overall great experience.

Homemade pasta was excellent! And Baba as desert was incredibly delicious, it’s variation of traditional baba dessert, but it was for sure the best desert we ate in Amalfi coast. Good place with nice vibes! You can book your spot in beach club (60euro for 2 people, including chairs, one umbrella and towels) and enjoy the day with good cocktails, amazing food and perfect view!

Visited this spot and opted for the chef's 8-course tasting menu. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my wife's gluten-free needs, which was much appreciated.Every dish was exceptional, with the fish varieties standing out for their uniqueness. I was also impressed with how welcoming they were to my 20-month-old son.Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!

We were wandering up and down Amalfi city, waiting for the restaurants to open, until we were standing in front of the restaurant Marina Grande at the seaside. We checked the rating and thought let’s try. We’ve been welcomed by a nice waiter, which fulfilled our wish to sit inside, since it was getting a bit fresh. Actually we got one of the best tables at the corner, so we could see the beach and also part of Amalfi. To our surprise, the owner of the restaurant greeted us and took the order, with some recommendations of his restaurant. We had shells, fried calamari, octopus and the catch of the day (fish). All was nicely prepared, and I must say, in very good quality. The short video illustrates the view, unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures, the food was so delicious, that half was gone when we remember to take pictures. We even had a short discussion with the owner about the history of the place and it has been the third generation. This definitely will be a place to go and have a nice sunset dinner. Thanks for the Limoncello & the special icecream offered by the house.

Me and my girlfriend had a great lunch there. I love when I try different things and everything tastes good. The seafood (antipasto, risotto and secondo) was so fresh and good, but the truffle pasta was also phenomenal. Service was good and the guys gave us good recommendations. The portions of fried seafood and risotto were big. Stuffed pasta usually doesn’t come in big portions (mainly when coming with truffles), but this one was not small — even though it may seem small compared to the other dishes in the pic. Love the atmosphere and you can definitely get the beach vibes.

I took my mom here for dinner during our stay in Amalfi. The food was absolutely wonderful! The octopus was so tender and moist it was the best my mom has ever eaten. I had the seabass and tuna tartar, both were flavorful and delicious. Our friend had the dry aged ribeye which she'd never had before and really loved it! The atmosphere is very inviting and it was so nice to meet the owner/chef who took the time to visit with us for a little bit when our tables food came out. It rained earlier in the day but was so nice come evening they opened the awning so we could watch the sunset over the beautiful Amalfi coast. We can't wait to come back for another delicious meal!!! I also want to apologize to the chef for the guests who were at our table and only ordered desert they clearly have no tastebuds which I wasn't aware of at the time of our visit, but very quickly learned when we ordered dinner. I'd come without them next time. Thank you again for the best meal of our trip!!!

Excellent service and gorgeous restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The food was high quality but fell a but flat for us. All items were unique menu-wise and we're executed well, but the flavors didn't wow us though they were definitely unique. Your enjoyment may vary depending on your taste.

Excellent service and very good food quality. Tuna tartare was quite generous and light tasting. Grilled octopus with peas was tasty but a small portion overall. Amalfy beer at 10 euro each was a little hopy at 5.2 Alc. Sea Bass was very good but the green beans were cold. I think that was miss qued in the kitchen. Reservations are important as this is a popular eatery. The polenta muse bouch was very plain. All in all, it was an expensive meal and good quality.

For anyone traveling to Amalfi and looking for an amazing day of rest and relaxation with great food look no further. The Marina Grande offers lounge chair/umbrella service for a fun and relaxing day at the beach with delicious cocktails. You can opt for the beach club menu which is a bit more casual or dine in the restaurant which we preferred. The food at this one star Michelin did not disappoint. We started off with the delicious sauté seafood and it was fantastic and a very large portion . For an entree I enjoyed the Agnolotti stuffed with cheek beef in a creamy truffle sauce that paired with a red wine was exceptional. My husband had the spaghetti artisanal with seafood and he enjoyed it as well. After we headed back to the beach to enjoy some fun in the sun. What a fantastic day at Marina Grande! * make reservations for beach club and restaurant ahead of time. Wear good sandals because the beach is very rocky.

My husband and I stumbled upon this place. Menu was only available via QR code but they have free WiFi. My husband got the TRADITIONAL AMALFITANO HOMEMADE PASTA, LOCAL CLAMS, LOCAL LUPINI CLAMS GARLIC, PARSLEY. The quantity of clams was generous. The sauce was nice and light. I got the HOMEMADE FUSILLI PASTA EGGPLANT AUBERGINE, SAN MARZANO TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA which I enjoyed. Service was fast and attentive. We wanted to sit outside and they arranged a bunch of umbrellas for us so we could be in the shade. Great view

We rented lounge chairs here on a really hot day. The service was great, they were very attentive and and always around. We sat down to get a snack downstairs and it's was great. Quality of all the food was great, everything hit the spot. It's a different menu downstairs so if there's a next time I would love to try the restaurant. This place isn't a must visit, but if you're having a hard time finding somewhere to eat, they will not disappoint.

Food was amazing Everything tasted fresh The service was a little slow but it was manageable The ocean view was a nice touch of scenery Everything you see was 94 Euros

This restaurant has a Michelin recommendation and it performances accordaly. Great location Mediterranean view, excellent personal and customer service. Food is very well elaborated and presented with exquisite combination of flavor. We started with MUSSELS IN TOMATO SAN MARZANO SAUCE, continue with AGNOLOTTI HOMEMADE PASTA, STUFFED WITH SLOW COOKED CHEEK BEEF, PROVOLONE DEL MONACO SOFT CHEESE, BLACK TRUFFLE and continue with RED SNAPPER FILET IN CHERRY TOMATO GARLIC AND PARSLEY SAUCE, SAMPHIRE TEMPURA, CRISPY LEEKS. Made a decision about dessert was not easy, but both options were delicious. We paired all with Prosecco and limoncello to close the "faena". We'll be back and highly recommend it

Beautiful restaurant in one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life. Marina Grande sat right in the middle of the Amalfi beach front. I felt like I was princess Diana on a romantic vacation. The setting was overlooking the ocean, and people enjoying the beach. The colors were so vibrant. I wish I took a picture of the view. The food was delicious nothing like I've ever had before. An experience one needs to go and taste for yourself.

What can I say. It starts with the staff. So welcoming and so eager to make sure all needs are met. As for the food it starts with the bread. It's brought to your table in a brown paper bag. 3 bags of bread is not enough for dunking in the most delicious broth I have ever eaten with my mussels. Wow" My linguine with clams was top notch. My wife and I can't wait to come back.

Dined at Amalfi's Marina Grande on the water. Beautiful view, deliciously flavorful food, but the service took extra long to come back to take our dessert orders. All went beautifully through our main course -- service was fast and on point. They even brought us more assorted breads without asking! After they picked up our plates, and we accessed the desserts using the QR code, the waiter stopped at our table to ask if we were ready for dessert. We told him we were looking at the dessert menu, to please come back. We never saw him again. After an extra long wait, we flagged down another waiter to bring us the check. Then we crossed the street and ordered gelatos instead. That was last night and as I sit on the Trenitalia heading north, I am daydreaming about the "Crumbly & Crunchy Almond tart Apricot Marmalade, Vanilla Gelato, Mint" dessert we didn't get to try :\

My group of 8 did the fixed course menu and everyone loved it. Reasonably priced and we had some wines as well. Loved the broccoli risotto and hearing the waves coming in while eating dinner. Dishes had a bit too much time between each course but wasn't the end of the world. I also wish the whole table didn't need to do the fixed menu but oh well. Would definitely go back. We also went to the beach here 3 times since it was our favorite beach area in Amalfi. I added a few pictures of my favorite dishes.

Got super lucky and walked in at 6pm and asked for dinner reservations. They open at 630 and had one left. Great view of the water. Food was amazing. Very savory and you can taste the freshness of the fish. Drinks were reasonably price. Highly recommend but would make a reservation ahead of time

From the outside, with the bright red Michelin signs dating back to 2011, I thought we had found a gem. It started off strong and tapered off quickly though. I love seeing a chef's tasting menu so we opted for that. Who doesn't like a variety of random dishes the chef thinks are the best to serve hungry customers? The wait-staff was so attentive and excellent, they even asked if we had any allergies or any foods we didn't like. I said, "I really don't like squid." He said, "Okay, no squid." We started with a small pizza that was on the heavy side with a beautiful, light, marinara. Next was steamed cod with potatoes. My partner truly enjoyed this dish and said the balance of the cod and potatoes was one of the best dishes he's ever had! At this point we were hooked because the presentation, flavor, and attentiveness of the staff were excellent. As the server sat the third plate in front of us, he said, "This is cuttlefish..." It sat in front of us and I had a "what you talking about, Willis" moment. Did he just say they brought out something I was very clear I understood he knew I wasn't going to enjoy? Insert the very sad sound of a very sad sounding trombone player playing "whaaaa, waaaaa." Let's borrow this from Merriam-Webster: Definition of cuttlefish: any of various marine cephalopod mollusks (order Sepioidea, especially genus Sepia) having eight short arms and two usually longer tentacles and differing from the related SQUID in having a calcified internal shell. The cuttlefish was chewy, fishy, and barely swallowable. Of course I tried it, but my partner, who likes squid, couldn't eat it either. The server approached the table and was curious why we hadn't eaten the squid-cousin, so I told him. Next they brought out a stuffed prawn followed by some wonderful homemade ravioli which were palate-pleasers. For the next course, it was zucchini fettuccini, with cuttlefish. Yes, cuttlefish, and the pasta was so al dente we could barely swallow it, so we didn't. At this point we were done with the meal and just wanted to leave. One of the only tasting menus I didn't enjoy. The servers brought us a nice gnocchi with duck, which I found quite tasty, but I really was disappointed in the meal overall. We skipped the next three courses and asked for our check. It was an interesting experience for $200.00, but not something I'd care to repeat at Marina Grande.

We came here for lunch upon the recommendation of our driver. We sat on the patio and had a great view of the sea. My wife had a fish dish, my bro and I had the fettuccine with seafood and my bil had the risotto. All our dishes were delicious. My wife said that this was the best meal she had while on vacation (and that's a big statement). I tasted the fish and it was prepared beautifully. It was seasoned well and was flaky good. My linguine was finished in aluminum foil so the pasta could absorb all the flavors of the seafood. It was utterly delightful. The place is on the higher end of the cost side, so if you go in knowing that, you will thoroughly enjoy the food.

Cena meravigliosa e servizio impeccabile We had an awesome dinner!!! Every dish was special with very tasty and selected ingredients in an amazing environment and with wonderful service.

Delicious! First time in Amalfi and this was right across the street of our hotel so we made reservations. Everything was tasty! The owner came by to see how everything was.

If you want next level Italian food, this is the place to go. Great location, atmosphere and staff. The owner, GP ( I won't say his full name) was amazingly accommodating and welcoming. They were busy and they still managed to get us in and it was worth it! We had a wonderful time, ate amazing food and we will definitely go back when we are in Amalfi. Thank you GP and we look forward to seeing you again!

what is not to love about this place! the owner and staff is absolutely amazing. they are so greeting and helpful with everything. you also have a wonderful view of the water. The food was so good I had to come twice in 4 days! The creamiest and tastiest mussels I have ever had that i needed to try them both ways! would love to come back here one day

This was the most expensive meal we ate our entire stay in Italy, and for good reason. The ambiance of this place is amazing and the food was good. If I could give this place 4.5* I would. The ambiance and food was 5* but the prices were very expensive for what you got. We had two pasta dishes and no drinks and our total was €56. I understand it is going to be more expensive to eat on the Amalfi Coast, but to be honest the price was just more than I thought was reasonable.

Well let me start. Great location on the beach by the port, Great reviews and recommendations but the food was not good at all. We had 4 dishes and nothing was good, no flavor, no love on the food. Pasta fruto di mare was soooo bad and oily. The fish with capers tomatoes and olives was so blend. Very sad it was our first bad meal in italy. But really Bad. The 2 starts was based on the location. Service nothing special.

Did the chefs menu, highly recommend. Beginning to end excellent seafood. And the dessert was some of the best I ever had.

Marina Grande has arguably one of the best locations in Amalfi. Easy to access and by the water, this small restaurant has most of its tables facing on the patio and is the perfect restaurant for those looking for an intimate/romantic experience. Service is exceptional and the waiters are very friendly and give great recommendations. I ordered a seafood pasta dish and shared a bowl of mussels. Personally I thought the seafood dish could have been better given the price, but the bowl of mussels was fantastic in terms of taste and price! Overall, I think this place is perfect if you want a romantic (and slightly expensive) experience with that special someone!

I came to this restaurant with a group that I was doing a tour with. Our tour guide recommended this place to us and joined us for the dinner. This restaurant was absolutely delightful! I came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and had the best time. The restaurant is on the water and has the best view. It set the mood immediately. I didn't order any appetizers and went straight for the linguini with caccio Pepe sauce and raw squid on top. It was great! The sauce was tasty and the pasta to squid ratio was appropriate.

Love this place !!!! Great service.... delicious food. We had the 8 course tasting meal ..... and we did not like the monk fish - but they immediately replaced it with a delicious sea bass' I may have been illustrating their beautiful faces during our dinner and yet they continued to be extraordinary.... with a great sense of humor. Amazing wine selection ! We even met the owner!

Great, fresh seafood, bread, olive oil homemade pasta and cheese. Beautiful views, convenient to the port. Great staff. Nice wine selection. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We arrived at Maria Grande about 30 mins before the lunch rush and were lucky to get a table without reservation. The place was packed by the time we finished. Fresh Bellinis right next to the sun and beach set the pace for an amazing meal to come. Scallops w crispy pork belly - 5/5 my girlfriend who normally doesn't eat bacon even enjoyed. Mussels in wine sauce - 4.5/5 Fresh catch in brown butter sauce - 4.5/5 Everything was as fresh as can be. And the bread basket was addddicting.

Another great restaurant in Amalfi. They had an extensive wine menu to plead everyone. You also get a beautiful view of the water out on the deck, so reservations around sunset are ideal. All dishes come incredibly fresh and would highly recommend mussels marinara

For lunch in Amalfi, I'd seen pretty good reviews of Marina Grande, so we opted there for lunch. I ordered a seafood risotto, and my wife got a seafood linguine dish. First of all, the bread they served was some of the best we got at restaurants - still warm, and a number of different kinds, including some good breadsticks. The pasta dishes were also quite good, although my wife wasn't a fan of the way their shrimp and crawfish taste. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauces were great! After lunch, we decided to rent beach chairs through the restaurant, which was a little more than what we had paid in Positano (25 euro for two chairs), but the chairs included towels too, which was pretty nice, since that meant we wouldn't have to bring damp towels around with us. Pretty fun beach, as pretty much all beaches are at the Amalfi Coast.

Superb seafood on a classic beach setting. Friendly service, exceptional wine list and delicious food pairings. Had fruti de mar, linguine with clams and mussels.

Really nice hosts. Good is great, come for the local seafood flavors, and the coastal sights and lights at night.

I've dined here twice in two days. This is a really nice restaurant by the Amalfi town beach. Really classy and modern decor, with efficient and good service. The first meal I had was 5 stars - linguine with seafood (on the back page of menu, €16) was excellent! It was also a huge portion, with lots of seafood. The second meal was not so good, hence the 4 stars. Squid ink homemade pasta with squid, clams, and beet powder looked great, but did not have much flavour. My partner's grilled octopus still had sand inside as it had not been grilled properly. She had to send it back. They did the right thing by immediately offering her something else on the menu. You do get a small amuse buche at the beginning which is a nice touch. And they provided a really great bread basket - with 5 different types, still warm, and really tasty. The cover charge though is slightly steep at €3. And dishes are on the upper end of the pricing scale in Amalfi. Overall, there are some good dishes, the view is excellent, location is perfect, service is good, and slightly pricey.

Setting, food, and service all first-rate, and reasonable price for the quality. Intense flavors in both the seafood pastas we tried, especially the clams and asparagus linguine. Both fish dishes cooked to perfection, a beautiful seared yellowtail, and a snapper fillet topped with salicornia tempura.

I tried the leak potato soup, fresh fish prepared Amalfi style, fried pizza(complimentary appetizer), handmade pasta with fresh clams, and pear cheesecake. Each dish was delicious, authentic and creative/fancy! The soup was so tasty, and different, it was thick, concentrated and had a great presentation. The pasta tasted so great, with the fresh clams and light sauce. The fish dish was really good too, but would like to try another preparation style with stronger flavors. The cheesecake was so light, and the pear sauce tasted so fresh and unique. I gave this restaurant 5 stars, because the view is phenomenal, service is great, and food is authentic and high quality! Make sure you make a reservation in advance.

They recommended the seafood linguini which was super disappointing. Not that much fresh seafood, quite salty, and overall a total fail. The octopus appetizer was decent, as I thought 2 out of the 3 types of octopus was good--I was not a fan of the tempura octopus. Not your typical crunchy tempura, and tasted borderline soggy. The breadsticks were a novelty and the home-made bread was warm and fresh, but I could not pinpoint any of the flavors that the server had mentioned the bread was infused with--there was barely any flavor. If you want to sit in the terrace next to the water, definitely make a reservation because we had arrived at the restaurant right when they opened for dinner when there was nobody else there, but they said all those seats were booked and we sat toward the inner part of the restaurant. When the sun sets they do put the pull over the automatic roof so you aren't really eating under the sky and it's pretty much as if you were sitting inside the restaurant. Not that scenic. What was the most disappoint part of the experience besides the food and mediocre ambiance was the service. One server was quite sick and was sneezing while taking our order, and then when we needed more time, we felt super rushed when trying to order as they came back in a few minutes and gave us pretty disappointing recommendations. SInce we were seated in the middle of the restaurants, the servers kept running around very very quickly as they were very efficiently and pretty much speed walking while servicing all the tables in the cramped space. I felt like I was in the middle of a busy intersection, and it didn't make eating the meal very enjoyable. Furthermore, this was also the first restaurant in Italy where I felt rushed during my dining experience by the servers. Definitely a place where they do not care about returning customers. Overall, I would definitely recommend going to a different restaurant in Amalfi if you want a pleasant, upscale experience with good food because Marina Grande did not deliver.

When you come to Almalfi stop in and try the fish stew. Great location, expensive wine list, and terrific Italian food and fresh seafood.

What's better than eating at a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast? Eating at a restaurant overlooking the beach on the Amalfi Coast. I don't think I have ever eaten so frequently at a restaurant (3 times in 5 days) - we ate here when we arrived in Amalfi, a mid-beach day lunch, and for dinner. I was surprised that they offered an amuse bouche (fried cheese) and enjoyed their octopus appetizer and eggplant parm. Sit by the outside to catch a cool breeze (and view) or in their dining room with vibrant pictures of schools of fish on their walls. Better yet....just sit by the outside.

One of the best in the town of Amalfi. Beautiful views right on the beach. The food was fantastic . We did the 8 course tasting menu which didn't disappoint. It was so good I ate my food before taking any pictures. A must try if your looking for a place with beautiful views, gourmet Italian cuisine and excellent service

This was a super convenient place for the family of four to enjoy days on the beach and eat simple but good food. The beach club is well attended and has great service. The food served on the beach was tasty, but the menu in the restaurant was even better. Both were great for whichever occasion preferred two days at the club. Although I liked all the seafood we ordered here (pasta, sashimi, grilled, etc.), the spaghetti and marinara with meatballs were the best pasta dish we had in Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi. I guess Sometimes it's the simple dishes that blow your mind away. I would recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.

The food is mediocre for what you are paying for and the service definitely does not add to the experience of the restaurant. The owner is quite friendly, however some of the waiters lacked customer service skills. Dishes I had: Lobster Appetizer 1/2 Fillet of Beef The lobster itself was cooked well, but the cream it came with lack a bit of flavor. The fillet was not marinated and unseasoned, so it was flavorless. The bed of eggplants thatYeah it came with did not help the flavoring much at all.

I can't tell you how special this place is because I think you have to experience it for yourself. I'm lucky enough to visit Amalfi every year and I come here every time. The food is amazing - they make art work out of traditional, local dishes. The menu changes seasonally, and it's always delicious and intriguing. Lots of fresh pasta, daily-caught fish, and local produce. The staff is fantastic - attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. Be sure and book in advance so that you get a table on the terrace with the sea view. And if you're lucky enough to be able to spend a day there, you can rent sun beds and an umbrella on the beach. Don't pass up the opportunity to try this place!

Women of color beware... this place does not serve our kind well. Over-rated restaurant, food lacks flavor, poor presentation, poor service, rude waiters (except for one, the primary waiter). Food was overpriced for the quality. We waited a loooong time to be served and when we asked for the check, another waiter dropped the check as stormed off. Despite this, we were very courteous, pleasant and patient until the end.

Favorite restaurant in whole Amalfi Coast, perfect for all day beach and food or fine dining at night

We are staying in Amalfi on our honeymoon. This restaurant is overlooking the beach with a beach area with chairs to rent and the same menu. So far we have had dinner, snacks and drinks here. With drinks on the beach they provide olives and chips. We will be back through the rest of our trip.

This place got a Michelin star for a reason, it's top notch food, great view (for dinner when the beach is empty) and definitely one of the more pricier restaurants out in Amalfi. I had the spaghetti and clam sauce and the fried fish which was basically like a fish filet with tempura vegetables. Overall presentation was great, was still hungry after the meal but lots of gelato places nearby, and the experience was more for the view than the food.

Amazing place. This place has the best fish I ever tasted! I'm not much of a fish lover but this places changed my mind. I thought walking by it was a tourist trap. But when the food and the wine came out I was so amazed. If I lived here I would have to keep it to myself.

Our food was really good, I would have appreciated a little more advice on dishes but the waiter seemed annoyed. The food we did order came out great but not out of this world amazing. The location is great though!

The view is awesome. The service great, and the servers all speak English. I had the tuna salad and it was slightly better than average. The salad tastes and looks like it's out of a bag. My wife had the seafood plate, and she enjoyed it. My mother in law loved her scampi. Her salad was just okay.

This restaurant was just okay. It is one of the more commercial/ overrated restaurants in Amalfi. This place feels like a tourist trap. If you are just here for the view, there are plenty of other options along this road (bars/restaurants/the nice seats along the sidewalk) If you are trying to eat very good authentic Italian seafood, I would suggest walking over to Atrani and going to A. Paranza. Our fish was overcooked, the risotto was too runny but the scallops were delish (albeit small; get the larger portion) To get a seat with a view, be sure to make a reservation. The waiters were very nice btw.

Excellent. Best in Amalfi. The only restaurant we will be visiting a second time. House wine is excellent. See photo of bottle. Seafood was prepared extremely well and the. Beef steak met my daughter's high expectations. Staff speaks English very well. Highly recommendwd

Great place to eat! Highly recommended :) The people here make you feel really comfortable and the food is amazing! Oh! It has a beautiful view!!!

We went to Marina Grande on our first night in Amalfi. The staff was friendly and the restaurant is beautiful right on the water. I had the eggplant and tortiglioni. Both were very delicious.
