S. B.

A great place for authentic Italian food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A wide selection of food from fish to pizza. The swordfish in particular was very nice and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

T. B.

I just love this place. No amount of iffy reviews will ever put me off.. and i was a little worried when booking our last meal. The staff were professional and friendly.. it was a full restaurant. I took my son and daughter in law there this time and he said it was the best calzone he had eaten.. better than the London restaurant he had eaten in a few weeks previous. Good quality food at a reasonable price (for the size of the portions.) One day i will have enough room for three courses.

L. G.

Brilliant Authentic Italian! Amazing food and service. The staff are all so friendly and attentive. Very well priced for quality food and a lovely evening out. Very lucky to have this place in Hythe!

D. B.

The food was just average. I am being generous with 4 stars. However, I was concerned at the intimidation tactics used by waiters in insisting that service charge must be paid in cash, and not included in the overall transaction total via card payment. Most establishments are cards only these days. And many people no longer carry change but perhaps just a large note for emergency.

L. W.

The mushroom chicken was cooked with exceptionally delicious sauce and the vegetable was perfectly cooked. The seafood spaghetti was very good as well. The dough of the dessert was garnished with rich and warm chocolate sauce. The coffee was a real surprise. They were all in big portions. The waiter was very friendly. Once you walked in, we felt we were in Italy.

C. B.

Hadn't been back since pre-Covid days. Celebrated my husband's birthday with family there last night and, as per usual, it didn't disappoint! Don't know how, but it's even better than before! One of my favourite places in the area! Thank you for a lovely evening.

E. M.

This is a little gem. Beautiful food. Authentic Italian cuisine cooked fresh and served by the most friendly and helpful staff. Lovely restaurant which has become my favourite on the South Coast. Something on the menu for everyone. Definitely worth booking and visiting. 10/10.

L. D.

Had a huge family dinner last night 13 of us children ,babies ,adults I can't thank you enough for your patience and amazing food and service lovely people and superb restaurant thankyou . X

2nd time visit here this time for my birthday. However not happy. How many times do you have to say, NO ICE? Clearly the waitress doesn’t listen. Asked for Coke Zero, got Diet Coke. All drinks came with ice and we returned them. Asked for water (no ice ) but came with Ice. Meal! Had lasagna, very salty but ok , live with that as the chefs obviously likes the salt pot however not even halfway through and found the other half rock hard so not edible. Yes I told them and was asked if I wanted anything else, as my guests were almost finished so I said no thank you. My daughter-in-law asked for extra pepperoni on her calzone but alas it was on it but we were charged for it? I’m sorry they’ve been going long enough to be able to get simple things right. Others may rave about this place as I did to my partner and as it was my birthday I thought, hey why not. But a very big disappointment second time round. Would I visit again. Possibly not. Pictures attached and the bill with the charge for something we didn’t have. They did remove the charge for the lasagna so thank you for that.

N. H.

Absolutely delicious in every sense. Authentic Italian food served with real Italian charm.

J. S.

Great restaurant with amazing pizza cooked in their wood fired pizza oven. Friendly service and very welcoming

V. B.

Brilliant restaurant! Was researching a place to eat in Hythe, and a number of places showed up, so was strolling through the centre. I stumbled upon Amalfi, and it only had one review on Google, but plenty of Italian people were eating there, so I figured that's a good sign. I wasn't wrong. Had the salmon starter, salmon tagliatelle, and panna cotta for desert. The food was fresh and delicious, the service amazing, and the prices very reasonable.

a. b.

Brilliant value for money. Exceptional standard of food. I've been numerous times and have left more than satisfied every time. The food is well presented and packed full of flavour with every meal. Be prepared to feel full and unable to finish though!

J. K.

Nice Italian food. The stuff it's very friendly and helpful. The Food it's delicious and fresh served. I really liked the Homemade Tiramisù.

S. R.

Wow, only went in for a main meal, and have just had the best ravioli EVER!!!!! The sauce and the prawns were amazing. Really beautiful family run restaurant, where all the staff were welcoming, attentive and you can have a bit of banter with them. I'll definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you for a great meal.

S. D.

First visit had a lovely time the food was amazing very friendly staff and lovely friendly welcome thank you.

d. b.

Great staff very friendly nice pizza and my chicken and mushroom was also great .A restaurant like this is all about atmosphere and food

M. L. S.

Loved it! We felt more than welcomed when we stepped in for a quick lunch. Lovely pizza, freshly made, lovely coffee as well. A small piece of Italy in Hythe, Southampton.

S. B.

I'm Italian and finding such a sublime Italian restaurant made me feel like at home again. I struggle to find such a quality on traditional Italian dishes also in Italy. The "impepata di cozze" (starter) was superb with that little spiciness. As first course I chose "spaghetti allo scoglio", the pasta was perfectly cooked "al dente" and very tasty. For dessert I had Tiramisu and I've never tasted such a good one in a very long time, you can feel it's handmade and prepared the same day as stated in the menu. Highly suggested for everyone that doesn't want to compromise on real Italian food. If you go to Amalfi, you can't complain.

C. W.

Absolutely fantastic, food was delicious and plentiful and amazing service.

S. P.

The food was delicious, especially the home made pasta dishes. An authentic Italian dining experience which I would totally recommend.

S. R.

Delicious, authentic Italian food served in generous portions in a cosy environment

F.

This is my favourite restaurant. We have visited at least four times and every time the food has been excellent and the service brilliant. The food really does taste like authentic Italian food, it’s beautiful. Really reasonably priced too considering how great the food tastes. Can’t fault at single thing at Amalfi’s and will continue to keep returning. ☺️

C. C.

We organised a family lunch party for my Mother’s birthday and it was superb. Jessica made a cake and event managed the occasion for me and she was just wonderful to deal with, so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The whole lunch was really fabulous, absolutely delicious food and brilliant I rushed service. Thanks so much! Highly recommended.

D. R.

Amazing sea food cooked perfectly! I love the spaghetti allo scoglio and peach melba, very good and tasty. Authentic Italian flavours!

V. G.

Amazing food, I mean really amazing food. Lovely customer service, friendly waiting staff. Lovely, close knit family, atmosphere. Lovely that they will do anything on the menu as a kids meal, my son devoured the seafood spaghetti. A very enjoyable evening 🙌

I. L.

Great quality of food and very friendly staff. Will go again.

S. H.

Fantastic meal and wonderful, welcoming staff. We love eating here. The lasagne is wonderful, and the Calzone superb. I really enjoyed my peach melba and the Pistachio ice-cream is out of this world.

V. P.

I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the excellent service of this incredibly authentic Italian restaurant. It really took me back to the cuisine of my great grandmother. It is the first time in the UK I had a "Ratatouille" moment, where I am absolutely transported to my Mediterranean roots. Amazing!

C. R.

Great value, delicious food. Puddings a particular highlight

A. C.

The food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere in the place is very relaxed and in a way it brought me back home. I will definitely come back for another true bite of Italy 🌞

D. P.

Stunning experience! The team here were all charming and the food was delicious, cooked to perfection and competitively priced. It was a busy evening, we were seated on the first floor, but we were still waited on with professionalism and attentiveness. The photo is a Calzone Nutella, dessert. Extremely happy with our time spent here, we will be back…

S. B.

Good solid Italian cooking, generous portions, outstanding Tiramisu. Very good, friendly and efficient service. Will be back.

M. T.

Absolutely amazing,I been here already 4 times. I went in Amalfi restaurant for Valentine’s Day dinner. The Atmosphere it’s absolutely fantastic; the staff is so helpful. We will be back soon. Thank you guys it’s always a pleasure come to your restaurant.

C. W.

Love it here! We keep coming back. Food is spot on and the Italian owners can't do enough for you, and its proper authentic Italian food, freshly made on the premises. My wife is Italian, so for her to want to keep going there speaks volumes! buonissimo!!

A.

6 of us had a delicious lunch here yesterday, a belated Xmas get together. The food was amazing. The staff were great, very welcoming. Nice to be back in the restaurant.

M. S.

Always incredible food and very friendly staff. Very authentic Italian restaurant and never disappoints!

V. O.

It has to be 5 stars...my second visit and absolutely no complaints. The food is fresh, the services is friendly and professional. Make sure you book as they frequently have to turn guests away

b. s.

WALK N PUB GROUP REVIEW. face book. I took the other half here for a meal last week. It's a quaint little Italian restaurant in Hythe. For 2 beers a starter and 2 mains it cost £33 quid, and there was lots of it. The food was lets just say TO DIE FOR, friendly staff and a good atmosphere, a delight to visit and totally amazing food, i Recommend this place to everyone simply fantastic.

L. C.

First time going here and it really is a taste of Italy! Great friendly and safe service during the current climate, with a nice touch of limoncello at the end of your meal. Will definitely be back soon!

D. B.

Nice food good service not to expensive.

R. F.

R. J.

What a little gem of a place in Hythe. Very nice menu and choice and food was delicious 😋 Friendly staff and no pressure to rush your meal. This was out 1st visit but definitely will go back!

G. C.

Nice Italian restaurant, good food, lovely personal.

C. L.

The food is really nice and serves up a big portion. Recommended meal: carbonara and pizza.

A. S.

One of the best Italian restaurant I have ever visited in the UK, have been to several Italian restaurants in London but this one in Southampton is the best in class when you talk about the taste, my girlfriend who is from Italy said that the food just made her feel like home, thank you Amalfi restaurant for you excellent food and customer service, I would recommend all my friends to visit your restaurant. Hope to visit your restaurant soon again.

I. M.

A new place to eat in Hythe. A lovely Italian Restaurant in the High Street. It is wheelchair accessible but does not have an accessible toilet. The toilets are on the first floor and they are modern and clean. The owner's are very friendly and keen to please. We asked for additional cushions and they were provided. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived at 4pm and had a choice of table. The menu is full of appetising dishes. I had a seafood pizza which was excellent. The service was excellent and the food was brought out promptly and was piping hot. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality and size of portions. I overheard some of the many calls looking for bookings and even on a Tuesday night not all slots were available. I would advise booking in advance as at popular times tables may not be available if you just turn up.

L. P.

Lovely meal, service is excellent and a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended

R. A.

I had a birthday meal here, the service was wonderful....the food was beautiful....with enormous portions. We have booked again for a friends birthday this Saturday.

J. E.

Amazing. The best pizza we have ever had. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff, full of smiles and very efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

F. K.

Amazing food and really good stuff

P. M.

Great authentic Italian food, really tasty and fresh and very generous portions.

T. N.

Service was very good, but had to wait 40min for the main food with no starter ordered, the lady’s had pasta which was very nice and us men had steak which was very poor for the money, I’ve had better from Tesco, also it came with what tasted like frozen veg. So if you want steak go to a steak house not an Italian restaurant but the service and atmosphere was fantastic.

L. P. (.

Nice atmosphere great friendly service and the food was great. We had pizza from the wood fired oven and it was one of the best that we have had. Defiantly recomend it to anyone who likes a homey atmosphere. Italian food at its best. Xx

V. C.

Really lovely food, very reasonably priced and efficient and friendly staff. A great night out.

M. F.

Lovely, attentive staff, excellent tasting food and HUGE portion sizes. Very busy on a Saturday night and restaurant a little warm - toilets are upstairs so not wheelchair accessible and only 1 toilet per gender. But if you’re looking for a PROPER Italian meal out, I highly recommend Amalfi.

A. M.

Had a delicious dinner with my husband this evening. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and looked really appetising. Would really recommend this place for families, groups or couples was a really welcoming atmosphere.

B. C.

A. S.

Extremely good home made real Italian food, generous portions. Run by lovely Italian family. Music loud, upstairs hot and cramped. Very popular place, always full, for good reason.

A. S.

Cozy restaurant, warm and friendly staff. really excellent cuisine especially the fish dishes are fabulous !!! And unbeatable prices! surrounded by the kindness and availability of the owners Luigi and jessica! I advise.

M. T.

I went in Hythe for my second time and I booked a table for me and my boyfriend in the Amalfi Restaurant and I found the place very well organized for keep the distance. The renovation of the Restaurant makes the restaurant look splendid; Jessica e Luigi did A very good job. The Atmosphere is always warm and like we are in Italy and in this time we need same place were we are feeling home. Let's start we ordered some cocktails for start the dinner and with ordered carpaccio Di Salmone for my boyfriend and for me coccoli e prosciutto very tasty, the salmon was very fresh.After we had a pizza one Margherita and one Diavola so delicious and both very well done and cooked perfectly. A the end of the dinner the offered to as a glass of limoncello is always very nice finish with limoncello. Grazie Jessica and Luigi is always a pleasure eat in your restaurant see you soon.😜😜😜

c. h.

Thank you Almalfi! Had dined here twice in the last month and cannot fault the food at all - really good value for money and the taste is very authentic Italian. Definately one of my favourite restaurants in the area and would highly recommend Amalfi's for a romantic night out!

K. H.

Great value for money, however.... I had the homemade ravioli, it was tasty but the pasta was a little thick, not quite what i was expecting. My husband had the meat pizza and it seemed to be covered in piles of cheap supermarket ham and cheap supermarket english sausages - not very italian and the sausge was pretty horrid! This was a shame as the pizza base and garlic pizza bread cooked in the wood fired oven were absolutely delicious and really authentic. I would go again and try some different dishes, as it cost us only £45 for 2 glasses wine, 2 beers, two mains and garlic pizza bread and staff were friendly and attentive.

G. P.

Went for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were very impressed! Massive menu choice. Amazing food! Very friendly staff. Loved it!

(Translated) A true Italian restaurant in a very nice part of the south of England. The seafood is very fresh and cooked with skill both alone in the impepata and with pasta in spaghetti allo scoglio. The pizzas cooked in a wood oven and the desserts are also excellent, in particular the tiramisu is really delicious. The service is attentive and the waiters courteous. A place to absolutely recommend. (Original) Un vero ristorante italiano in una zona molto bella del sud dell'Inghilterra. I frutti di mare sono freschissimi e cucinati con maestria sia da soli nell'impepata che con la pasta negli spaghetti allo scoglio. Ottime anche le pizze cotte in forno a legna e i dolci, in particolare il tiramisù è davvero delizioso. Il servizio è curato e i camerieri cortesi. Un posto da consigliare assolutamente.
