La Capannina is a family run restaurant that takes pride in the freshness of the local food. All vegetables are grown in their garden and all the ingredients are local. The owner went above and beyond to ensure our experience was welcoming and treated us like we were family. The view was a spectacular panorama of Ravello.The homemade deserts are... More

It was a cloudy day with not many folk about but the restaurant was open for lunch and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a couple of glasses of the local wine which was very good indeed. Then we shared the Mussels, which were amazing - even better than Rick Stein's in Padstow....sorry Rick! This was followed...

We stumbled across this excellent place, because it is conveniently located at the end of the Scala - Pogerola (Valle delle Ferriere) walk. Anyone completing this walk should stop here for a (late) lunch before heading down the stairs to Amalfi. We actually went twice - since we enjoyed the lunch so much (Easter: set 4-course menu for 25 euros... More

What can I say? This place is fabulous. My family and I, after a long drive to Amalfi, were looking for a bite to eat that was close to the house we were staying at in Pastena. Lo and behold this gem. The wonderful Memo (rhymes with Nemo) answered the phone and as if he was family, invited us "over... More

My wife and I had lunch with two friends. Everybody had pizza, a couple of us had beer, and our friends shared a caprese salad. The total cost was about 45 Euros. The food was really good, and the service was quiet but attentive. There are wonderful views toward Ravello and Scala and down to the coast. The town the... More

Small dining space - the owner is always there - so friendly. The food is delicious!! Get the BURRATTA MOZZERELLA - YUM YUM YUM. Makes you feel like you are in a home - great food/wine and fun.

Although shown as being in "Amalfi" this restaurant is actually in Pogerola. about 3 km up into the mountains. Pogerola is a v small village with few / no tourists (i liked that). The restaurant appears to be family run, great local food and because it isnt "dtrip front" is was very good value. Views are of mountains and valleys,... More

During the morning in the kitchen at La Capannina the two chefs let us assist in the preparation of some authentic local dishes served in the retaurant. Afterwards we ate the food we had cooked accompanied by wine, coffee and limoncello and a magnificaent view over the hills towards Ravello. The family were charming and the experience memorable.

We LOVED the food, service and "just like home" atmosphere. We loved everything we ate, especially the home made pasta and the prices were very reasonable. You have to to try this place!!
