I had spent the morning in Amalfi and walked to Atrani to dodge some of the crowds. I was traveling solo and the lady working was very friendly and accommodating which is always refreshing. My server was also very friendly. I ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce and a lemon soda (a must try in Italy). Everything was very good and my bill was only 14 euros. They have a lunch menu as well as a full dinner menu with alcoholic drink options. My lunch was complete with the company of a dog named “Ivar” who must have been one of the employees. Ivar hungout and laid next to me during my meal. Overall, a really good experience with good, very reasonably priced food. Avoid the crowds of Amalfi and have lunch in Atrani at Ristorante Savo!

Food presentation is done nicely and you can see that they try to make a difference from the other restaurants in the square. I started with an Octopus dish which was outstanding followed by their seafood soup which is really a Risotto with mixed seafood. It was slightly on the salty side even though I can take a lot of salt in my food. Others on our table had Gnocchi which was delightful, fettuccine with seafood which was nice but also on the salty side. The fourth member of our group ordered a whole sea Bream which he commented was very tasty but sadly the entire fish was cut in half and he only got half a fish.. literally the head and body was cut right down the middle! Overall it was a pleasant evening although the service was a little on the slow side but when you are on vacation it doesn’t really matter.does it?

Washed down with a nice bottle of local white. Staff (particularly the older lady who I took to be the owner) were extremely welcoming and hospitable. I did have slightly better overall experiences in Pompei in terms of the overall (wine, menu choice) but this equally will beat many meals had in Italy to date, nevertheless. Recommended.

One of the best meals/restaurants we ate at over course of two weeks- even better than 2 Michelin rated restaurants we visited. While food in Italy is fresh and very good, most people hype it up more than what it is. This place, however, lives up to the hype folks generally talk about when eating food during their visit to Italy. If you are in Amalfi or Atrani, this place is a must!
