• "Food is very good but it's expensive and I think a tad overpriced."

Atmosphere and Ambiance

Pros:

• "We sat outside as it was a hot day and once we moved tables we couldn’t be happier!"
• "A lovely atmosphere all round."
• "Food - divine! Sat on the outside tables - a little bit noisy with the road directly adjacent but that was fine."
• "What a nice little find! We passed by one day and thought how lovely it looked so popped back a week later."
• "Amalfi hosted our group of 30 recently for our son's Christening and we were so delighted we chose this location for our celebration."
• "We tried to order some pizza for local delivery - whilst in lockdown - and, despite advertising delivery, we were told to come and collect it as it was 'really close to them'."
• "This is an absolutely charming restaurant. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend it."
• "What a find this was. An excellent Italian restaurant in the centre of Nailsworth. Beautiful food at a reasonable price, attentive staff and a really nice atmosphere."

Cons:

• "Sat on the outside tables - a little bit noisy with the road directly adjacent but that was fine."
• "Great food, shame about the service. Went for what was meant to be a nice meal with my fiance as a returning customer."
• "The food was better than an experience in Taormina, the service was better than an hour with a best friend on a plastic table at a house party at 4am, the atmosphere was akin to an evening in venice."
• "Nice and friendly staff there. We only had some starters and wine but those were underwhelming."
• "Whilst staying at Kingscote Barn for a couple of nights we went to the local village of Nailsworth and enjoyed 2 nights of great food at Amalfi."
• "The best Italian restaurant I have been to. The seafood linguine was delicious and the owners were very welcoming and humble would definately recommend."
• "Food was ok but fairly standard. Pizza topping good but dough underproved and lacking flavour."
• "I’ve not even eaten my pizza yet, but what I will say is this... The restaurant states that it is open until 10pm. We arrived here at 9pm and I have NEVER felt so rushed to order food by the two different members of staff in my life."
