Ristorante Il Pino

If I could rate this place out of this world, I would. We came across this place on our first night in Praiano and after a hectic day of traveling on the SITA bus it was exactly what we needed. They greeted us as if we were friends and the night only went up from there. The grilled octopus appetizer is a MUST try!! Honestly, nothing we ate there was bad. Antonio and his son were what really made this place unforgettable. They were singing with the entire restaurant and coming over to our table to laugh and banter. I cannot recommend enough making sure you visit this gem. We loved it so much we made sure we went back on our last night in Praiano!

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My girlfriend and I enjoyed everything from the delicious food to the amazing view to the outstanding and friendly service. An older man comes around to sing and interact with guests which was so fun to see and be a part of. It was all so great that we decided to come back again on our short stay in Praiano to where we were taken care of and could enjoy the best dessert we’ve had to date (the sponge cake with lemon cream is to die for).

We dined twice at Ristorante il Pino during our four day stay in Praiano. We loved everything about this restaurant - the atmosphere, the food, the service. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Definitely recommend! Also, the views were amazing!

Best meal on the Amalfi Coast! Absolutely loved the entire experience!!! Great food, wonderful hosts and service, loved the atmosphere so friendly and welcoming. You must eat here if you are in the area. I can’t say enough about how spectacular it was. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Cannot say enough good things about Ristorante Il Pino. The hospitality and service was phenomenal. Our server provided us with several food specials and we entrusted him with ordering for us and he did not disappoint. From the Seared tuna to seafood pasta and baked white fish, all were great. And can’t forget about the great sunset view. Will definitely visit again

Amazing view and killer killer food. Get the artichokes as they almost changed my life. My husband and I don't typically share the same tastes and we agree the artichokes were beyond out of this world. We've talked about then a few times today. Plus they have a shuttle to nearby hotels which was amazing for us staying at hotel open gate nearby and avoiding the crazy road back, particularly at night (finished about 930p). His pasta with truffles was astounding with sweet walnuts and a white sauce which were perfectly balanced and complex. My spaghetti with shrimp tartare was a bit one dimensional if I'm being honest but we were sharing and my husband noted that it was good to him. I felt like it was missing something like lemon to cut through the cream and brighten the dish. Would have loved to try other options on the menu. Will absolutely be back on my next trip.

We went to Il Pino twice during our seven night stay in Praiano and it was absolutely brilliant both times. Great food, great service and an unbelievable view. The best restaurant we visited during our trip. They even picked us up and dropped us back to our hotel. Simonè was brilliant and we'll be sure to visit again when we're back in Praiano.

1st off AMAZING but that’s just the owner and staff. Food wise - Sensational. We jumped through hoops to get here. Delays in ferry delays in cab which caused us to change reservations from 7:30pm to 8:30pm to eventually arriving at 9:30pm. The owner was beyond welcoming. The restaurant vibe was excellent. The food was phenomenal. We have 2 gluten dairy free family members their pasta and red sauce was yummy. The artichoke appetizer was DEVINE. The truffle pasta was best in Italy so far. The tiramisu was special. The pistachio pie was good. The lemon sorbet ice cream dairy free gluten free had ice cream smooth velvety texture almost stole the dessert show. The shuttle and driver back home again perfect. Make reservations as soon as u can.

We will never forget this place for so many reasons but primarily for the food and staff. Amazing cuisine that is very reasonably priced, and the staff makes you feel like family. Everything on the menu is delicious. Be prepared for more than a dinner, it is an experience. And of course, amazing views!

From start to finish, Ristorante ll Pino was unparalleled with their service, food and views! Our favourite restaurant of the trip! The restaurant is located in an amazing spot, with views of the water, but also shaded. The servers were very friendly and remembered us when we came back a second time. Our favourite dish was their caprese salad, it was to die for!! But all of the food and drinks were amazing! Would highly recommend eating here if you’re in Praiano!

We spent two days in Praiano and dined at the same restaurant both nights because we loved the food, the atmosphere and most importantly, the owner, Mr. Antonio (and also his son).
He is a charming gentleman who treated us with great warmth and care. We will never forget him!
The restaurant also offers a convenient shuttle service that picked us up from our hotel. Highly recommended!

Fantastic restaurant with lovely wholesome vibes. The food was absolutely delish we came back another night on our trip! Kind staff with some nice singing to add to the atmosphere, would recommend.

Nice small restaurant on a beautiful hotel. We arrived early and had drinks by the hotel pool. The bartender was kind and funny. He made us his special Negroni which was wonderful. Then we went up to Il Pino. The service was spectacular. We had cacio e Pepe, stuffed shells and rigatoni with meat sauce. They were all excellent. But we rated them in the order listed. They also have a nice wine list.

Recommended by our hotel, this restaurant was a fantastic find! It boasts amazing views that complement the friendly atmosphere, making it a treat for both eyes and soul. The food was a hit with our entire family, catering to various tastes with its delicious, well-prepared dishes. The staff’s warmth added to the overall welcoming vibe. A must-visit for those seeking a picturesque dining experience with great food for all ages. Thanks again!

What an amazing experience at an amazing spot with amazing owner Simone and staff who serves amazing dishes <3
We spent 10 days in Italy this Easter, From Bologna to Praiano, via Roma and Serento and Il Pino was our best food-/ restaurant experience 🤩

The (grown up) waiters had all their individual style, but they all served the same fantastic food🤩 Simone’s (the owner) father Antonio was a no. 1 entertainer (singer) while Rafael was more the ‘down to earth’, polite and steady one :-)

First time was Good Friday and we had to go back the Sunday during our four days stay in Praiano. It was absolutely as amazing then as the first time. Thank you so much Simone with family and staff! Hope I will be back one day <3

This place is THE restaurant you need to go to if you visit Praiano (or the Amalfi coast for that matter). The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the servers energy was infectious. They made you feel like their family and a local, unlike any other place I’ve been.

Absolutely amazing. The Caprese and Truffle Pappardelle blew our minds! The staff were fantastic and very accommodating and entertaining! Easily our favourite meal on the coast.

Ristorante Il Pino was recommended by our hotel and did NOT disappoint!! Not only were the food and atmosphere delightful but also the service was top notch. We even got transported to and from our hotel in Praiano by Simone who was very kind. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in Praiano!

Amazing experience! We had a 7pm dinner reservation so the sunset we absolutely incredible. Food was probably the best we’ve had the entire time we’ve been in Praiano. Antonio also contributed to our fantastic experience - such a nice man and made us laugh a ton.

Highly recommend!!

The home made pasta was phenomenal. Check sunset times to have the most amazing experience
