Had my first visit to Amalfi last night with a large group for a birthday. We had the banquet which was reasonably good and value for money. The mussels would have been the highlight. I was a little disappointed that despite Amalfi being famous for pizza this wasn't actually showcased amongst the group of 20 people only four small sized pizzas were served. I will note that there was an abundance of other food as part of the banquet from antipasto platters to a variety of pastas. However no banquet is complete without dessert, which for some reason they did not include which made this sweet tooth very sad!
I rate this place reasonably highly for a good pizza. But then again, I'm regularly told by my friends that I don't know what good pizza is, just because I only ever order margherita (okay, occasionally, I'll get a vegetarian, but that's pretty rare). I choose to think of the margherita as being more difficult to get right just because there are fewer ingredients to cover up for either lack of freshness of some components, or lack of ability to make a decent base. I don't know that the crust is perfect, but it isn't bad at all. I've had much worse, and paid more for the experience. The other components were pretty reasonable as well. I thought they cheese they used was quite acceptable, but I've had better. I think what I liked the most was that the toppings just seemed to be in the right quantities and proportions. The service was alright, I had no complaints at all.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is the best pizza in Adelaide. That I've tried, anyway. The crust is perfect. Thin, crisp with beautiful air bubbles. What I like about this place is they don't pile on the toppings. Less is more guys! Amalfi also do other dishes, from pastas to poulty dishes and steak. It all looks lovely, but I have only tried the pizza, so I can't really comment other than to say the presentation looks good!
Went there last night. Pizzas were excellent. Service good but a little slow. It was a full house though. Cardinale pizza was very tasty
Can't go wrong with a pizza. You certainly will never be wrong with a pizza from Almalfi's. Thin, crispy bases with a lather of delectable toppings The Amalfi Special, covered in ham, prawns, anchovies, spinach and capsicum. It's undeniably tasty from even just reading it on the menu. Which has an abundance of other fine Italian cuisines to dine. The staff are friendly, however I encounter a little bit of smarminess from one when talking about the wine lists.
