Amalfi Pizzeria Ristorante

Lovely, authentic Italian food. The wonderful smell emanating draws a crowd, you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth it!
Highly recommend.

Have been coming here since the 80s. Consistently of above average standards throughout the decades. Every time I'm back in town, Almafi is a 'must' on the food itinerary.

Every time I'm in Adelaide l love eating at Amalfi. What a wonderful family business and the food does not disappoint

I love Amalfi pizza! I first tried their pizza 30 years ago, then today and still just as delicious. Especially the one with artichoke on it! Great staff too

After living in Italy for 10 years, this is the best pasta I've had outside of the country. Absolutely incredible ragu, lovely staff and great service. Definitely back soon!

Great spot for a meal. Service was excellent throughout dinner time, highly recommend the ragu pairing with the Grenache. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Able to book online and choose where to sit (inside the restaurant or outside).

Place was great, walked 20 mins to find this place and we came in right when they closed but they managed to stay open for us. Amazing customer service, great staff, amazing food too. Really great to see places doing this!

Was booked in here for new year's eve which I booked in early November.
Upon arrival took ten minutes to be greeted by someone then to be told we are sitting outside. I advised that I would not sit outside in that heat and I was never advised that I would be outside They pretty much were oh well nothing we can do.
I know new restrictions were in place due to covid but that then means you inform your customers of the changes?
The care factor was they didn't care.

4 people dining, a pasta dish each - including a large marinara pizza to share between us. Only 3 shared the marinara - and ONLY 3 ended up cradling the toilet bowl that night and the next day! NEVER touching seafood when dining out ANYWHERE again!

Unwelcoming/unsmiling staff, long wait for food - with 4th person having to wait almost 20 minutes longer than the rest (without apology or acknowledgement!). Unfortunately the 4th serve also seemed significantly smaller than the rest - no consistency.

Stained cutlery (with some kind of food particle still stuck on 1 fork), pink lipstick residue on my wineglass. Again - no apology when I asked for a replacement. In hindsight, I sure hope they didn't simply poor the contents from dirty glass into a clean glass!

Got an eye-roll from the waitress when I tentatively attempted to pronounce, "cozze aglio olio" when ordering. Clearly not remotely interested in cultivating goodwill for the restaurant. Needless to say, it put a dampener on our evening. NO ONE goes out to dine and spends more then $200 expecting to be mocked by wait staff! - particularly when paying such exorbitantly high prices for crude peasant food! One expects some minuscule effort to be friendly! Poor reflection on management to see fit to hire such types.

If only I had read the reviews before we booked!

I will say though, that the zingarella was REALLY delicious - but unfortunately was not able to disguise the bitter taste left in our mouths - which is why I cld only give 2 stars. Shame really. The rest of the meals weren't anything special. Really couldn't justify the prices - it's pasta and pizza for goodness sake!

As to whether we'd go back again - hard to say. Deploying Uber for the zingarella might be a safer bet, but still have concerns about cleanliness and hygiene.

To the manager:

Just some food for thought - I was taken aback and disturbed by your mocking other negative reviewers - with unbridled venom. Not the most professional business practice. That lack of respect towards patrons who ARE your livelihood (I might add), portrays you as someone who cares very little about customer satisfaction - or common respect and decency. After reading some of your attacks - I was relieved that WE didn't speak up about our experience at the time. I suspect you would have further contributed to the downfall of our night with your attitude and poor business sense.

One reviewer claimed to have witnessed a staff member's vicious verbal attack on another staff member that appeared almost as though it could have become a physical attack. After reading YOUR attacks on customers, I am inclined to believe YOU might have been the perpetrator. Either that, or ALL your staff have anger issues.

I understand it must be upsetting to read bad reviews, but you don't do yourself any favors by being so offensive and derogatory towards those who keep you in business. You only succeed in reinforcing those negative reviews - if not making things worse for yourself.

If you were to simply apologize - and welcome customers back - to give you another opportunity to rectify the situation - perhaps throw in a cheap glass of wine - you would improve your goodwill, rather than destroy it furthermore. Plus you would give the impression, to prospective patrons -. That they are safe in your hands - and that you value them enough to do right by them.

I would much prefer to go to an average restaurant with exceptional customer service - than a restaurant with exceptional food - and average customer service.

One final note, the way you responded to that poor Uber driver, but most particularly the way you threw food back into his bag was disgusting! Shame on you! Your food may not have arrived intact, but you had no right to destroy another restaurant's product out of anger for the driver!

Good old fashioned Italian fare at a reasonable price with good service. Portion size was large and good quality, lots of choice.

Food is always great. But came on Guys. I had the worst gin tonic. Maybe something you shouldn't order at an Italian restaurant

The night started off with my booking being cancelled without notice. They eventually found us a table once I showed the booking confirmation email. The waiter was beyond rude and clearly hates his job. We sat down around 9: 15pm. Surprisingly, the time of our previous confirmed booking. The restaurant was packed. We were rushed to order our food and despite there being at least another 40 customers in the restaurant, they wouldn’t take anymore orders from our table. They forgot the salad which they recommended. Just when we thought this experience couldn’t get any worse, we witness one of the chefs abusing a female staffer to the point it felt like he was about to get violent. Not a single staff member jumped in to assist the young girl all they asked him to do was to keep his voice down. This venue is the most overrated venue in Australia with ordinary food. If I could give them a zero I would. Never again.

Best pizza I had in long time.

Restaurant was very busy and staff was friendly and helpful in choosing the right food for us.

I will definitely recommend this restaurant

I may not have picked the best time to go go (went during fringe season) - worth another try.
Service was slow, my order was wrong, limited menu and long waiting to be seated despite booking ahead of time.

One of the best pastas i’ve had in Australia. Will definitely visit again. The place gets busy during dinner time so make sure you book in advance!

Delicious food & wonderful atmosphere. Was particularly impressed by the level of service - very friendly young waiter by the name of Chris made us feel very welcome!

Great food and atmosphere. Entrees should come with a warning stating that they're bigger than most other places mains! Haha.

Lovely way to end our week long holiday in Adelaide

The food was good, the child serve was just an entre size which was way too big. The service was so so, it was like they thought someone else was looking after us.

Have wanted to come here for ages and sadly left a bit disappointed. Dined here on a busy Sat 15th May 2021, waited too long to be greeted and seated despite having a booking. Blonde waitress finally asked if we wanted water then never brought it until waiter Ezra finally attended to us for water and drinks. The food did come out quite promptly and was delicious though. When we wanted to pay at the end again we caught the blonde waitresses attention who quickly dismissed us so had to wait quite a while to pay. Although the food was excellent and waiter Ezra was friendly, will unfortunately not be returning due to the slow and dismissive service

Food was delicious! Pity we had to wait almost an hour to get in to eat it (despite having a booking). Some staff were very rude and dismissive but some were lovely. They gave us free drinks for the wait which was greatly appreciated.
