Help with restaurants in Amalfi coast
Please help me choose few restaurants in Amalfi coast. I need to pick 3 out of what's below. We love innovative cuisine, but also want something closer to traditional southern italian cooking.
Il Flauto di Pan - being in Ravello, view is awesome, but how does the food compare to others. I read a bit here, but additional advice is really appreciated given other options
Rossellinis - are their 2 stars really worth it? I would prefer a bit more of "italian" food rather than extremely modern. I've read both great and so-so reviews
Il Faro di Capo D'Orso - sounds very promising
Da Gemma - read great reviews, but how does it compare to rest?
Tramonto d'Oro - also very promising, but need to choose
Thank you!!!

Interesting. I have traveled to the AC 4 times in the last 4 years and I have never heard of any of these restaurants. Where are you getting these reviews? Where are you staying?
Have you tried reviewing the Italy board on chowhound.com?
If you have a smart phone, the app Amalfi Coast Travel Essentials has very good restaurant suggestions.

Ah, that explains it. I tend to save my Michelin experiences for the cities, when I will not be in my sundress and sandals. 
I tend to like the smaller more casual places when I am at the AC.
There are a couple of great threads on Chowhound re: AC restaurants, with a couple of good reviews of Da Gemma

I agree with EKC. I've been to the AC several times,(most recently last June) and only know vaguely about Tramonto d'Oro because its a hotel in Praiano with an incredible view.
As ekc mentioned, most places on the AC- other than at the hotels like Sirenuse and San Pietro- are very casual, and so good (!!) that we've never eaten anywhere else!
Please post back after you go. Have a great time!

Wanted to add that one of the very best restaurants we found in the area was LA TAGLIATA in Montepertuso, a mountain village about 15 min by car from Positano. If you are staying in Positano, you may be able to arrange a free round trip transfer.Ask at the front desk of your hotel.
