The food was exceptional. Also the owner and staff were so friendly and we're wonderful in recommending what wine and dishes we should try. We had the anchovies with butter on grilled bread, stuffed anchovies with cheese and fried, and the local fish cooked to perfection. The fish was pillowy and soft. It was the best fish we have ever had and we live on the California Coast.

Absolutely worth it, not only for its exceptional cuisine but also for the attentive and caring service. Our enchanting evening at 'Al Convento' marked the beginning of our honeymoon in Amalfi. What started as a simple dinner outing turned into an extraordinary experience that left us overjoyed and immensely thankful. Meeting Chef Pasquale Torrente was truly a highlight, as his warm hospitality and culinary artistry made us feel like cherished friends by the end of the night. We will definitely be returning!

Recommended by an Italian friend of mine...what a beautiful place. Went there 5 times and was never disappointed. Every meal I had was first class and the staff were extremely friendly. Can't say enough how much I loved this place!

Food was ok, location was pleasant, service was mediocre. Wasn’t bad, wasn’t anything special.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. Not only did they completely ignore our table, but the food we received was subpar at best. The lack of attention from the staff made us feel unwelcome, and the quality of the dishes served was far below what we expected. It's unfortunate that our visit turned out to be such a letdown.

For a small town this was a lovely find. Great fish and dry aged beef steaks, cooked exceptionally well. The staff were helpful and lovely and friendly. We enjoyed so much we visited twice a d if we were staying longer in Cetara I'm sure we would have returned. A very interesting building too, mixture of exceptionally old and new contemporary that provided a lovely setting for two memorable meals

We heard great things about this local restaurant, but it seems like they just have a good public relation office. The dishes were little (in its size) and mediocre (in its taste) and they forgot to bring us the salat and french fries that wev'e ordered. It was disappointing due to the high expectations that we had.

Incredible flavour from simple, fresh ingredients. Our best meal so far on this trip to Italy. And that’s after 3 days of amazing meals! Highly recommended.

This place is what Amalfi coast taste like, you want to know about how anchovies really taste like? You will be converted at Al Convento, the fish is fresh, and you truly taste the local flavors

The food is really nothing special. I don't understand why this restaurant is on the Michelin guide. It doesn't deserve to be there. I had a cevice which had so much onion that I could not taste anything else, and my breath was smelling for 2 hours after. My partner had fried baby octopus as starter, it was ok but was missing some dipping sauce. I had fried seafood for main, but you could feel how old the oil was that they fried it in, it had some anchovies were ok, but red mullets we're not small enough to be fried and eaten as is, so it was a lot of work to de bone them, and it only had few calamari rings, but no other seafood. For me it's definitely not worth the money.
