Kaktus cafe is the best! I visited with family while traveling to Italy for the first time in my life. I don’t know much Italian, but everyone here was so accommodating and helpful. The owners are extremely friendly and make you feel at home! They helped with any questions we had about the Vietri Sul Mare area and even helped us call a taxi when we needed it. They made our stay in the Amalfi coast so much more enjoyable. They are kind, genuine, and caring people! The food is also great. There are a wide variety of options, and the pizzas are especially delicious! Definitely going to come back here if I return to the area!

I stopped by the Kaktus Cafe with my cousin Matt 9/28/23. Maria the owner made us delicious Negroni's! Even with the language barrier Maria made me feel at home with her affection and kindness. I came back the next night and Maria remembered me and introduced me to her husband and son. I had such a wonderful time with them (talking with Google translator to help) I will definitely be back! Ti amo Maria e famiglia!
