Belvedere - RAVELLO

My dining experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The quality of the food did not match the standards one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. Additionally, the service was inattentive, and the overall taste of the dishes fell short of my expectations. Regrettably, I have decided not to revisit this restaurant in the future.

We ate here many nights during our stay a the Belmond Caruso hotel. Truffle Pasta was divine. We loved everything we ordered. The setting is gorgeous! The food is beyond delicious. The chefs are amazing and very creative. The service was so attentive. Even if you are not staying at the hotel be sure to make reservations to dine here one evening. It will be your best dining experience on the Amalfi Coast.

Arrived early before dinner service began manager graciously welcomed our party and escorted us to a “money shot” table to watch the sunset and enjoy a cocktail before being seated for dinner. Bartender genuinely warmly welcomed us as though we had been regular guests all week. Menu offers thoughtful selection of traditional local dishes prepared at an elevated level and artfully presented. The salted sea bream was expertly fileted and served tableside. Unable to narrow our dinner choices, Mario shared his perspective on each dish to facilitate our selections. His recommendations were amazing! We savored each dish, reluctantly sharing with others at our table. Dishes we enjoyed included: Aubergine Parmigiana, Baby Octopus “Luciano Style”, Homemade “Taglioline all’uovo, Homemade Tagliatelle with while Veal Ragout, and Sea Bream in Salt Crust. Sommelier guided us through various local wines we were interested in to complement our meal. Her personal experience with local vineyards and vintners and she was knowledgeable of each varietal. She explained why each wine would elevate our meal and what to expect from each wine providing us with a great deal of confidence. Mario, aka “Super Mario” went out of his way to ensure our evening was memorable. Thank you, Team Belvedere, for a wonderful evening.

My wife and I have dined here last night in this amazing hotel and we have finished a very high note. the meal was fantastic. the service was in front of places with other words, they were there when we needed them, but not intrusive (i.e. they were not doing what we experienced in other Michelin restaurants at the Amalfi Coast). the tempo of the meal was just as we needed to be and they were not hard on the chef freebies front as some of the other restaurants we visited. eating was seasonal, perfectly dimensioned portions, thoughtful in its creation and unbelievably creatiw. Explosive taste! we will return!

I am not 100% sure that I would agree with a Micheline star in connection with eating this evening. it was good, but not excellent and not overly memorable. but solid ... the service was beautiful and very professional (can sometimes be something too stiff) ... and the location was wonderful. when in ravello, I'm sure it's the best place to go. the star may be a little question here.
