Editorial Review for Amalfi Ristorante Italiano – by Julia Spalding
In Short
The restaurant is tiny, and the standing wait can be excruciating, but fans of rustic Italian cuisine keep coming back. Chef Mario DiRosa prepares specialty dishes, but diners are most impressed by the culinary skills of his mother, who runs the back of the house, preparing specials, breads and desserts. The veal-stuffed red peppers are served as an appetizer and offered only on special nights.

Best authentic italian restaurant in the city. I've visited quite a few italian restaurants in the city and was very impressed by Amalfi's food and ambiance. If you are trying to hold the perfect lunch bussiness or treat friends to the best italian food in town, there is no better place than Amalfi. Chicken lasagna may be the most delicious pasta in the restaurant, a perfect marriage of tomato sauce, chicken and italian cheeses. If you are tired of reading menus, the daily specials are always a sure option, mainly the stuffed red bell pepper and the maccaroni with 8 cheeses plus daily pastas and fish specials. Reservations are always the best way to get a table on weekends during peak hours. They are pretty good honoring reservation time. There is no more smoking in the bar or whole restaurant and now they count with a new private dining room. Service has always been professional and corteous in my visits. It's a pleasure to see this place thriving during the years, mainly since Joni and Mario, the new owners, have taken over. If you haven't been back for the last 3 years, now is a good time to see a new renaissance in Amalfi and savor some of the best food in the city.
Pros: Authentic food, classy, old school look, professional service
Cons: Parking, restaurant is not visible from the street

As a first time diner, I found the found fabulous. I tried the potato dumplings whic were quite filling with the potato and pasta doused in cheese and sauce. My husband had the veal with pasta and marinara sauce. The veal was so delicous it seemed to melt in my mouth when I tried the dish. I atmosphere made it a perfect place for a couple to have a nice dinner out by themselves. Although, a small group of people could have quite a delightful time. The wine selection as well was marvelous.
Pros: exquisite, mouth-water, superb atmosphere
