10/10Not only is this beautiful restaurant in a beautiful property. It is an oasis of both charm and calm. We felt at once that we were truly welcome guests to a family's home, and that extended even to being invited to visit the superb chefs in their exemplary kitchen. Not for nothing is the staff entry marked "artists' entrance" - artists indeed.

10/10I returned with colleagues to Don Alfonso after dining there 20 years ago during a conference to the Amalfi coast. We had a fabulous meal then and just as superb meal (and a magical eve) now. We had the fixed menu and it was exhilarating. The wine pairings were perfect, the ambiance in the garden (which did not exist then) was wonderful, and the service was impeccable. I hope to come again.

10/10Very lovely and gentle owners who shared interesting information about their property including their organic farm at the coast opposite Capri. Stunning wine cellar with more than 25.000 bottles from many different countries and an Etruscan stair case and tunnel. Definitely worth a stay!

10/10+3An amazing place that combines an inventive and delicious meal, attentive service and an upscale ambiance. I had the 7 course «Degustazzione» menu. Each thing was wonderful. The owners, Mario and Alphonso, come to greet you personally. I had a pleasant chance to see the kitchen and greet Ernesto, the chef as well. Don’t miss a chance to see the famed wine cellar. It’ll wow you!

10/10Everything you’d expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. Was so thrilled to be seated outside, I believe this added to the magic of my experience. The staff were almost over attentive at times but still an amazing experience with stunning menu and beautiful surroundings.

9/10Timing of food and wine must be better. Food was served before the sommelier had asked or served the wine. The sommelier should show the guests the wine list and recommend for different dishes. Apart from that the staff was very friendly and paid much attention. The atmosphere was very nice.

10/10The best Italian food I have ever had, the menus are both referential and reverential to the past while forward-looking at the same time. This is fine dining at its finest. The staff is warm, helpful and friendly. This is a restaurant worth making a special trip for

9/10It was an amazing gastronomic experience from start to end. We ordered the tasting menu and were absolutely delighted by the creativity and assembly of every dish. Very fresh, seasonal and organic produce were used (from the farm that the family owns). Particular stand-outs for us were the duck breast with cinnamon vinaigrette and Apple sauce, the capelli (like tortellini) stuffed with veal and dressed with shaved black truffle, and the Apple dessert. The service was impeccable and warm, and the lady owner and maître d (one of the sons, the other is the Chef ) walked around to talk to all the guests. Not to be a spoiler for any potential guests, but the family who runs the hotel and restaurant are really something and the experience goes beyond just the food, fantastic as it was. Completely worth the rave reviews and the bus trip (and taxi fare) back to our Positano accommodation.

10/10make sure to confirm booking with the restaurant directly as they have never received Trip Advisor's request and they were full. The owners were extremely nice and put an extra table to make sure we did not suffer from Trip Advisor's mistake. Nothing like an old fashion telephone confirmation... Restaurant was just perfect. it is costly as other 2 stars but so much worth it. They have offered us to visit the 25 000 btl wine cellar and the kitchen. Great experience. Food is top. Atmosphere is top. Family is doing extra miles to make this outstanding and they have succeeded.

10/10Everything about Don Alfonso was memorable. It was not cheap but, nevertheless, worth every penny. The owners (Livia, Ernesto, Mario and Chef Alfonso) are very courteous and warm.
