    We went to Amalfi after hearing Michael Berrys review of it. We ordered the lunch special. The salad was wonderful, my husband’s fish was very good, but my ravioli was lukewarm. It took 20 minutes between the salad and main course, which seemed way to long. I had asked for some herbs to mix with our olive oil because I saw others tables had some and the waiter said sure, I’ll get you some. Never got any. Was offered Parmesan cheese for my pasta when he brought it to me and never got that either. Dessert was very good. The problem with the restaurant is that the tables are so close together you feel like you are sardines. There were 2 ( won’t call them gentleman) probably 40 something year old men sitting right next to us who dropped the F bomb so many times I looked over at them which just seemed to envy them. That ruined my dinner. The food was good, service just ok, if not for the small space I’d probably give them another chance.

    Our dinner included a bottle of wine, bread, Seabass, as one entrée, lamb chops, as the second entrée, and dessert. It was absolutely delicious from the bread all the way through to the desert! The service was exceptional and we look forward to our next visit.

    Our reservation was for 3:30 at 3:50 we were asked if we had made a decision on our main course because they were shutting down the kitchen. Why take a reservation for 3:30 if your going to close the kitchen down??? Food was very good & service was also good otherwise. Very disappointed!

    The perfect brunch menu. Our first course included fried zucchini blossoms that were to die for! My dining companion reveled in her lobster salad, and my scialatielli took me back to many summers spent in Capri!

    Owner chef prepared by hand plates with genuine uniqueness and love of the cuisine rather than a corporate chain formula meal. Varies based on seasonal local market offerings. Responsive staff each well versed in their assignment from many years of experience and satisfied employment. Warm & inviting atmosphere. Very special experience every time.

    In a city renowned for numerous fine Italian restaurants, this is the very best in my opinion. I studied in Italy and have returned there many times, so I know Italian cuisine. You cannot beat Amalfi for authenticity and quality.

    The restaurant was over booked that it was difficult to talk across the table without shouting. Not comfortable to enjoy the dinner for my visitor from a distant place. Will avoid the special days.

    Very good food, horrible space. There way too many people crammed into the dinning room. Not a pleasant dining experience. If you are the slightest bit claustrophobic do not dine here. Going out to dinner should be a pleasant experience Amalfi completely misses the mark on this.

    I just wasn’t wowed. We had the suckling pig. Compared to what we had at MAD. It wasn’t as good. Neither was as good as the cochinito we had in Madrid. Deserts were ok. Service with Carlos was very good though.

    Food was not as good as it has been in past years. The cacio e pepe was very sweet, not sure if there was any pepper in it. Every year we come in chef prepares a few items for us but he was occupied with a bigger party he was catering. Perhaps that is why it was not as good. The porchetta was not crispy, the skin was mushy. Our server was overbearing. He kept bragging about the fish he sold at lunch. Very pushy and annoying. We ordered half orders of the pasta and he put them in as full orders. We were unaware of this and he did admit to his mistake, however, when the bill came he charged us for the full orders. We did have that corrected. This is a restaurant we hold in high regard but this time the experience was not at the level we have experienced in the past.

    Amalfi is a favorite. Tonight the food, the energy and our waiter were wonderful. However, we had to wait 25 minutes for our table that was reserved. They need to manage reserved vs open seating. Disappointing, and no real apology or even any attention. (Actually, a walk in was seating before we were.)

    Second Saturday night this month for entrees to take too long to come out of the kitchen.. Our server was as frustrated as we were and so were the tables around us. Other than that Amalfi’s food is consistently very high quality and certainly as good as any other high volume Restsurant in Houston. Quality that high on a consistent basis is the reason the place is packed. Despite the hiccup mentioned earlier, we love this place and are already talking about our next visit.

    Our two birthdays are a week apart. We a regulars here. We always get the same friendly greeting and where do you want to sit. We like the outside and had a good table. We usually get the same waiter that knows us. They know our appetizers and usually preorder but they check. There is no rush on their part. We usually order the same 3-5 items on the menu and they are ready for us. The owner always comes by and chats with us. The food and service is great. We are there every 4-6 weeks. We rotate good places.
