The 31 best spots for arancini in Sorrento

Unfortunately, Il Buco does not live up to its Michelin star. The food seems passionless. We opted for the “I trust you” menu because we wanted to see what creative dishes the chef would come up with. Instead, we just got random dishes from the menu. Nothing about the choices was inventive and we honestly would have saved money if we ordered those dishes directly. The initial appetizers were very bland — and so while we were initially interested in the wine pairing, we switched to just ordering a bottle since we didn’t feel like the pairing would live up to our standards. It also felt unorganized - we had about 3-4 different servers all at once. Above all, it was a fine meal. But it doesn’t deserve the amount of money we paid. I wouldn’t go back.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary whilst in Sorrento. We were attended to faultlessly. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine was superb (there is a very extensive list and the staff are happy to talk and make suggestions). Is there good food elsewhere in Sorrento? Yes. Is there cheaper food elsewhere in Sorrento? Yes. However, this was comfortably the best dining experience we had during our week stay to Sorrento. Would recommend for a special evening.

This was one of my favorite dining experiences to date! Off the bat, the atmosphere was incredible. They seated me right away without a reservation, in a beautifully lit entry garden to the restaurant. It was just private enough where I could still enjoy some people watching. The service was outstanding and the food was absolutely to die for. Would recommend splurging and getting the dessert. Loved the Wild Strawberry Tart, I thought I had died and went to heaven. Don't waste any more time and enjoy this lovely dining experience!

**A Perfect Finale to Our Italian Adventure 🇮🇹✨** I have nothing but praise for this incredible restaurant. For our final night in Italy, we decided to treat ourselves to a special dinner—and it was worth every single penny. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The chef personally came out to greet us and thoughtfully asked about any dietary preferences. As vegetarians, we were blown away by the care and creativity he put into crafting a menu just for us. Every dish was a masterpiece—flavorful, beautifully presented, and made with clear passion. The ambiance was warm and elegant, making it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply indulge in outstanding cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It was the perfect way to end our trip on a high note! ---

A fabulous location, tucked away down a cute cobbled street you enter into the restaurant and are seated in a spacious cellar that feels light, bright and airy. We opted for a tasting menu and every course was divine. The attention to detail is impeccable, with some items looking like art, but not loosing any flavour for it! Service was faultless, staff are super helpful and friendly. We went for a special birthday and our dessert course was served with a candle and a serenade of happy birthday! An absolute MUST visit if you find yourself in Sorrento!

Best restaurant in Sorrento! Service is impeccable and they literally cater to you! The chef, the manager and the servers are all extremely professional. The food is exquisite and each dish has a special touch! Ambiance is also lovely with a beautiful desert lab and wine cellar! We loved it so much that we came twice in one week!

Great food, amazing service. Definitely recommended to everyone. I ordered the I Trust You menu, and the food was definitely beyond expectations. Had the best tempura oyster and beef taco. Remember to book in advance for dinner, the restaurant is super popular and the indoor space was already fully booked by the time I arrived.

Fantastic Pizzeria in the Heart of Sorrento We had a wonderful experience at Pizzeria da Franco! The food was absolutely delicious – proper wood-fired pizzas and a lovely dessert to end the meal. The atmosphere was buzzing, full of locals and visitors alike, which gave it a great energy. Service was friendly and fun. Even though it was very busy and things took a bit longer, it was completely understandable and worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza in a relaxed, vibrant setting. We’ll definitely be back!

Yummy pizza! I had the margarita pizza. Relaxed atmosphere and kind service. Wow this place is popular and I went on an off time because the wait can be insane but still waited, great prices snd delicious food so obviously worth it. Seating outside is available. Loud inside.

I recently dined at Franco and it was fantastic! The pizza was perfectly crispy with fresh, flavorful toppings and rich, tangy sauce—truly authentic. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A must-visit for pizza lovers.

Okay... let's define priorities. For me the food and service matter. Francos gave me an incredible thin crust pizza that was crisp and loaded with quality toppings and flavor. It was impressive. Service was mediocre at best and it's a volume based business so I get it. The paper plates and plastic cups and cutlery really just threw me. It didn't make my pizza taste any less amazing but it was just weird and diminished the experience. I'm sure it saves them money vs a dishwasher, etc. BUT... maybe they had to do it because of the giant pizza ovens they have which probably result in their better pizza. I'm guessing those giant ovens hold the heat better and result in that quality pizza. Would I go back there again for an exceptional pizza at a great price... ABSOLUTELY. Will I still whine about the paper plate and plastic cutlery... probably. PS... as per the picture they have charging stations at all the wall booths and free Wifi... which is an added bonus to the pizza.

With a 4.2-star rating and so many glowing reviews calling this place “fantastic,” “excellent,” and “unmissable,” I was expecting a solid Neapolitan-style pizza. What we got was not Neapolitan pizza — not even close. The crust, which should be the star of a true Neapolitan pie — puffy, airy, chewy with a bit of char — was flat and uninspired. It lacked the texture and flavor you'd expect from a properly fermented dough cooked in a high-heat oven. The toppings didn’t help either — underwhelming and far from the fresh, balanced simplicity that defines this style. Maybe we caught them on an off night, or maybe our expectations were too grounded in what you'd get just a short drive away in downtown Naples. Either way, this was a huge letdown. Based on this first (and likely only) experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

Ate here twice on our week in sorrento , pizza was fabulous then for a panini the next visit and it was amazing. We sat outside it’s a bit noisy by the road but inside looks class and it’s so busy . I definitely recommend so well priced .

Recommended by our taxi driver with three grown children also living in Sorrento. Turned out to be an excellent choice. The mixed appetizer dish was enough for four while waiting for our pizzas. Every ingredient was fresh and tasty, which made our pizzas excellent. The dough was thin and flavorful. The price was also reasonable.

I’ve been here for several weeks and this has by far been my favourite restaurant. I’m a very picky eater so when I dined here, I came back another 5x because it was exactly to my liking! They are so accomodating to ensure the food is cooked exactly to how you like it as well. The oysters are incredible ( placed on the ice to keep it extra fresh) - served with caviar and the pasta is cooked to perfection. The service is so welcoming and knows how to make your experience here unforgettable. The restaurant has a wonderful sunset view as well. Id highly recommend. 10/10

Fantastic experience here for our honeymoon/anniversary. We were seated immediately with a beautiful view for our reservation. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Delicious, fresh seafood. They were also fun and friendly, and after we enjoyed our tiramisu, they gifted us with some religious charms to put on a necklace. Would recommend and look forward to coming back!

Absolutely wonderful experience! We were seated for our reservation immediately with a beautiful view of the water and were greeted with a complimentary bruschetta from the staff — a delicious surprise. Every member of the team was friendly, multilingual, and incredibly attentive. They never let our wine glasses get even slightly low, constantly refilling them without us ever needing to ask. The carbonara was fantastic, and the ravioli alla caprese was truly the best ravioli I’ve ever had. Though we skipped dessert since it was lunchtime, the staff surprised us again with complimentary limoncello shots after learning we were celebrating our honeymoon. From the service to the food to the stunning setting, everything about Bagni Delfino made for a perfect meal. Highly recommend

Good selection of food and drinks although I was looking to purchase a bottle of Azul or even a shot and was told they're for their own collection. Food was okay, service was great, kept our drinks topped up and had a huge selection of Italian wines. And the views of the evening was breathtaking, i could imagine the day to be just as good.

We came here all the way from the Sorrento city center because of the excellent reviews. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. The interior is nice and the views on the sea are magnificent. The staff however is, whilst friendly in direct contact, not attentive and we had the feeling of being ignored a couple of times during the evening. The food menu is not very variable nor original. The food itself was very basic and bland, nothing that justifies it’s price of € 30-40 per plate. I’d recommend going to another restaurant in the surroundings where you can get this food (or even better) for a reasonable price.

Bagni Delfino is just perfect, the view, the food and hospitality are all incredible. Every time we come to Sorrento, we make sure to come as many times as we can. The seafood is delicious and perfectly paired with the magnificent view. The owners are always so hospitable and welcoming, they make you feel at home in the most beautiful setting.

Service was the best we experienced in Amalfi coast. Seafood pastas we had were rich and delicious. Ricotta filled ravioli was fresh and had lovely taste. Prices are overall higher than in some other places in already expensive Sorrento.

First of all you need to make reservations in advance. We were welcomed with a glass of prosseco and some amuse buche. You should also try their bread with olive oil and salt. We ordered calamari and red prawns for appetizers. They were both good but red prawns were impressive. For main we had cacio e pepe & see bass. Excelent. And for desert we had chef fantasy pastiera&tiramisu. But we also get a profiterol for free. The ambiance was great. The wine was spectacular. Our host Antonino made us feel very good and welcomed and did not rush us. Make sure not to eat when you come here because you will be full.

Must place to eat! My BF and I, both cooks, had an amazing lunch and dinner in L’Antica Trattoria this summer and we can assure you is the best place to eat in Sorrento. All food was amazing and the service truly makes you feel like a family. We had a creamy lemon pasta with prawns, a beautiful pasta a la nerano, a very well cook lobster with coconut cream, for dessert: Tiramisu and Ricotta and Pear, tasty, unforgettable dinner, thank you nonno Aldo and team!

‏Excellent restaurant! We ordered very tasty pasta dishes, don't miss the lemon pasta (also available without shrimp). The staff is very friendly and helpful. We made a reservation through the hotel reception.

One of the best places we came across here in Sorrento. I had the first lemon sauce spaghetti, and I love it. The waitress was very lovely, gentle and educated. We sat in the middle of the afternoon and he gave his best.

My husband and I loved dining here for dinner! The best food I had all week! You must go…and SO MUCH food! Our waiter Antoninio was phenomenal! We will miss this place, and I will be dreaming of the Tagliolini Antica Trattoria until I return.🤍🍋

The atmosphere and the staff were amazingly friendly and fancy. They were very helpful and descriptive. We ordered shrimp & lemon pasta and pacio e pepe Pasta with beef. The shrimp and beef and lemon and ingredients were of high quality and soo fresh. But we didn't fancy the taste very much. The ingredients on their own are amazing however, the overall taste wasn't special or unique.

We love pasta. Do you love it too? Then you absolutely need to visit this place. This is where my boyfriend and I got goosebumps. We ordered the lemon pasta, and it was just perfect. The lemon flavor lingers from the first bite to the last. The pasta was perfectly cooked. Every dish we had was perfetto! The gentleman who served us was truly charming, full of laughter, good manners, and smiles. He made our visit to the restaurant unforgettable. If you’re lucky, you might even hear him sing, turning the restaurant into an opera. Will definitely miss this place.

Fantastic find. We had delicious octopus, lobster spaghetti and tuna starter. Dessert is worth having! Friendly place. Really felt welcoming and like they cared. Will go again.

Great spot right on the water with fast service and a very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable and comparable to other restaurants in the area. The seating offers beautiful views, terrace tables are especially nice, though those come with a longer wait. We ordered the sea bass, vegetable plate, and mussels. The portions were generous, and the mussels in particular were outstanding. You get far more for the price here than you’d ever see in the U.S. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with a perfect setting.

Found that spot near the sea and thought to give it a go. Menu looks heavily seafood based, which is absolutely fine and even expected to be honest. The menu did mention (in fine print at the bottom of some pages) that some seafood might be frozen — just not on every page. Naturally, when it wasn’t mentioned on the first course page, I assumed the seafood would be fresh. So I ordered the seafood risotto, and my partner went for the fresh seafood pasta. Oh wow, €30 for a risotto with frozen, chewy, flavorless ingredients? What a steal! Only King Prawn and mussels seem to be fresh. And the seafood pasta? Sure, the pasta was fine — shame the seafood tasted like it took a detour through the freezer aisle. Tried this place once and would not come back. Atmosphere is nice. House wine good. Location good. Service could be organised better, waitresses were friendly.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. For the starter, I ordered the tuna tartare, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. My main course was the seafood risotto — the flavors were amazing, and the seafood was cooked to perfection. To finish, the dessert was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend this place for a delicious and memorable dinner.

Food was ok but a bit pricey for the quality that we recieved. The octopus was really good as well as the grilled seabass! However the other grilled seafood items were a little overcooked and the seafood pasta was a little dissapointing, flavor-wise. We had to add salt and pepper it. The Sorrento lemon delight cake was just ok. Not worth the €7 in my opinion. The staff was friendly.

The food is just okay, nothing memorable but the oceanfront setting is real draw. You’re mostly paying for the view, not for the meal. Great for sunset dinner, but don’t expect to be wowed by the cuisine.

Great spot on the water! (You will get a little splashed in windy weather) We got the mussels in tomato sauce, gnocchi with clams, and fried seafood basket. Everything was delicious and my husband said this was some of the best fried fish he's ever had!

Dinner at Ristorante Zi Ntonio was not only delicious but full of laughter. Portions were generous, prices reasonable, and the staff were super friendly—always joking with us and making the evening memorable. The T-bone steak was perfectly tender and juicy, while the angel hair pasta with shrimp served in a basket was light, flavorful, and truly special. The highlight came with dessert: I asked if the tiramisu was big enough for three, and the waiter cheekily compared it to the size of an Italian sausage. He first served a small piece to tease us, then surprised us with the real full-size portion—such a playful and warm touch. We left full, happy, and with big smiles. Highly recommend for anyone who wants great food and a fun Italian dining experience.

More traditional Italian restaurant. Very good food and fresh pasta. The service is very friendly and the food came really fast. Extensive wine menu. The Tiramisu is homemade style and was definitely the best I have eaten during this trip.

Stop here for lunch earlier in the week as they have a good range of Gluten Free dishes. I had the biggest bowl of Mussels I have ever had - three plate full of empty shells. My wife had the mushroom fettuccine (not GF) and the pasta is made on site. The waiting staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and had a laugh with us. The restaurant itself is set on 2 floors and has a wood interior and some very quirky touches. It really is a brilliant and unique setting

We had a great lunch at Z’Netonio while staying in the Sorrento area. The service was very good and we even got to see the chef making fresh pasta in the kitchen, which was a nice touch. We ordered several pasta dishes with seafood — all were fresh and flavorful. For starters, we had the eggplant parmesan and the zucchini flowers stuffed with arugula. Both were excellent and beautifully prepared. One thing that stood out was being asked at the end if we wanted to leave a tip. That’s not typical in Italy, especially with the cover charge already included, but I understand it’s a very touristy area. Still, it caught me a bit off guard. Overall, the food and service were very good, and we had a pleasant experience. Worth a visit if you’re in Sorrento.

We made a reservation for two people and we had to. The restaurant was very packed. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We were quite hungry and had a Margheriata pizza as an appetizer. The pizza was again not a classic Napoletan pizza but it was very tasty. The base was not too thick and not too thin, the crust was very crispy but not fluffy. For our main course, we had risotto with mussels and gnocchi with pumpkin sauce. The risotto was excellent, the only missing ingredient was a little salt. The gnocchi were superb. We shared a tomato salad and grilled vegetables as a side dish. The price is a little higher, but it's worth it.

The gnocchi is a must. This place had amazing pasta- angel hair pasta with zucchini flowers was delicious. The octopus appetizer and grilled squid were fresh and perfectly cooked. The waiter was excellent and was super attentive.

After having a disappointing seafood pasta in Rome, we decided to give fish another try in Sorrento. Unfortunately, our second attempt was also a letdown. The fish was undercooked and lacked flavor, and the accompanying salad was equally uninspired. The pizza was decent, but nothing to write home about. It's possible that our palates aren't accustomed to the simple, authentic Italian style of cooking. However, a significant part of the problem was the lack of assistance from the staff. We felt rushed and, with no mobile signal to look up reviews or recommendations, we were left to guess, which resulted in a subpar meal. We were also surprised by the concept of being charged a €3 cover charge per person every time we dined out. It felt more like a penalty than a service fee. To make matters worse, we were charged for tap water—a strange contradiction, especially when taps are left running freely in Rome. This felt like extremely poor customer service. At the end of the meal, we chose not to leave a tip due to our poor experience. The passive-aggressive response we received from the staff felt completely unwarranted. The whole point of a tip is that it's optional, based on the quality of service.

Incredible tasting menu paired with nice wine, complimentary glass of Prosecco and limoncello. Amazing service. Worth the price!

We stumbled upon this place one night during our honeymoon in Sorrento and it was the best choice we made. We did the tasting menu and every single thing we were served was incredible. It is such a unique restaurant and there is so much to look at inside, making for great table talk. The service was amazing and we have already recommended this place to others who are travelling to Sorrento. 10/10!

A "museum" restaurant dedicated to Enrico Caruso. The walls are filled to the brim with memorabilia of the great tenor. Their food selections was great and tasty, if you've overate from trying everything during the day they also apparently have a great selection of tasting menus. I call it more a restaurant with a museum gimmick than a museum with a restaurant, it's not a bad thing however. My family visit was a bit more focused on the food so all I could learn about Enrico Caruso were some small tidbits and quotes written in the menu. Beaides they are playing old recordings of the gret tenor and my god all of them are enjoyable to accompany you during a good meal 10va/10 would recommend.

What a treat! From the moment we walked in the door the service was impecable. Our waiter was so friendly and welcoming and explained the menu so well. The food was so delicious and the wine selection was great! Each course was prepared perfectly. The atmosphere was so relaxed and in addition to making our party feel so welcomed, seeing the restaurant team celebrate the Nona’s birthday next to us and making her feel so special, added to the fun the entire dining room was having. They are the definition of true hospitality. Thank you for such a great evening!

This was by far the best meal we had in Sorrento. Nestled just steps from Tasso Square, Caruso Museo is a true hidden gem- it’s tucked away from the tourist bustle yet right in the heart of town. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The service was impeccable, attentive without ever being intrusive, and every detail was carefully thought through. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and even more delicious than we could have imagined. The flavors were refined, perfectly balanced, and worthy of its Michelin recognition. The ambiance added to the charm, elegant, intimate, and full of character. If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Sorrento, skip the tourist traps and treat yourself to Caruso Museo. It’s an absolute must-visit and a meal we’ll be talking about for years to come.

Wonderful! We've been coming to Sorrento for years and have never dined here - the restaurant's name somehow gave us the impression of a touristic place. We couldn't have been more wrong! The ambiance is elegant, the service impeccable, the food amazing and the wine list impressive. We'll definitely be back!

A wonderful place for a long lingering dinner! I chose this place based upon other reviews here and I was not disappointed one iota! It’s centrally located and actually rather large inside, yet divided into a few intimate dining areas. We shared ours with a few solo diners, but rest assured we outlasted them! We chose the meat tasting menu and it was delicious from start to finish! The photos tell a much better story that I can type… The wine was also excellent. We chose the first bottle based upon the host’s recommendation and we chose a known entity for the second - both were excellent! But they were just two of many hundreds of bottles on their extensive list.

A unique dining experience with amazing food. To be seated, we went inside and up a set of stairs into the main part of the restaurant where you're greeted. After less than five minutes, we were seated in the dining area which is all under beautiful lemon trees, and everyone is surrounded by foliage and vibrant green leaves. The restaurant easily seats a couple hundred people, and as such is very busy. Staff are constantly coming through with food. The food came fast, and everything tasted delicious. All three of our main courses, however, were cold when they arrived which was a shame. You can buy wine by the half bottle. There is no affordable "house wine" option for €10 (as of September 2025). Portion sizes were moderate. There is a cover fee of 2,5 euros and you're expected to spend minimum €30 per person. There is an English version of the menu.

the cutest lemon farm could not recommend enough- we shared a bottle of red wine, their famous cannoli pasta and then I got rigatoni and braccoli. It was incredible and so was the gnocchi. The table was gorgeous. It was under lemon trees with real lemons at the restaurant was huge and they fit 500 tables. We wanted to have our wedding there. This restaurant was four generation family owns since 1800 and first restaurant ever in sorrento

One of the most beautiful restaurants and great service. Definitely book in advance and sit in the garden. After your meal, walk through the beautiful gardens, it’s very magical. Food is pretty good and the drinks are delicious. It is apparently where cannelloni was invited so we had to try it and it was ok. I would definitely go again mainly for the atmosphere, it feels very magical. But food could definitely improve. Also there’s lots of comments about the prices being overpriced. I thought it’s fairly in range with other restaurants and considering the atmosphere and space, it’s definitely worth it.

The food at O’Parrucchiano La Favorita in Sorrento was outstanding, and the wine complemented it perfectly. The highlight of our meal was, without a doubt, their famous cannelloni — a specialty of the house that is simply a must-try. Beyond the food, the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The restaurant has a stunning ceiling covered with natural lemon branches, creating a magical atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Dining beneath the lemon trees felt both unique and unforgettable. What truly elevated our experience, however, was our waiter. His kindness, patience, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel welcome and cared for throughout the evening. This place is not only about dining — it’s about living a beautiful memory in Sorrento. Highly recommended! Greetings from Canada, from your Mexican and Ukrainian friends. 🇲🇽🇺🇦🇨🇦

This is a great restaurant experience in Sorrento with an amazing indoor/outdoor garden. The ambience is truly unlike any other place we’ve been, and when you’re done eating, you can walk all around the huge garden. My husband loved the veal marsala, and the rest of the food was above average. Definitely recommend.

Was on holiday here recently and visited with new friends one evening. What an amazing venue. We were seated straight away, the food was incredible with the staff very attentive. After dinner we strolled around the garden areas taking photos and relaxing in this wonderful place.

The restaurant’s setting was absolutely stunning and charming. The atmosphere, however, was a bit off since we came right at opening time, when there was no one else inside. The food was rather average, I’d say, but the service was top-notch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an absolutely delightful dining experience in Sorrento! From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such warmth and attention — greeted at the waiting area with a refreshing glass of prosecco, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The street view was great. The food was simply outstanding. The lamb was one of the softest I’ve ever had — tender, flavorful, and slipping effortlessly off the bone. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the spaghetti was bursting with authentic Italian flavor. Service was impeccable -quick, attentive without being intrusive — and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We ended our meal with a complimentary liquori, the perfect sweet finish to an unforgettable evening. Decently priced for the quality and experience, this place truly captures the heart and soul of Sorrento dining. Highly recommend! 🍷✨

Without a doubt, Fauno Bar and Restaurant was a wonderful choice during our short stay in Sorrento. We enjoyed the outside seating, perfect for soaking in the lively atmosphere of the town. We ordered a Margherita pizza, gnocchi, and linguine vongole—each dish was absolutely delicious, full of fresh flavors and perfectly cooked. Although we had been warned that some restaurants might charge extra for certain things, Fauno’s service was nothing but professional and pleasant from start to finish. A truly enjoyable dining experience in the heart of Sorrento.

The place is busy and the location is perfect, right on Piazza Tasso. Unfortunately, the food was nothing special for us. The cannelloni were rubbery and the carbonara, although visually appealing, wasn't too flavourful. All in all a decent meal, not too expensive, but a bit on the touristy side. It had alfredo (which is obviously a no go) and the menu was huge and had everything in German and English too.

Well... as a Canadian who can appreciate the venue where you are at and comparing it to others in the area and not my home country.... this one would be a 5 star in Canada also. First off, beautiful and busy area and fun for crowd watching. What impressed me most is they take care of their locals like royalty.. they see them coming and they greet them and find them a seat and served them like family. I loved this! Shows loyalty and respect. Those guys are gonna be around during slow season. Now for my experience. The service was awesome and fun. They are laughing and smiling while working. You don't see that too often anymore especially in a busy place. They move to serve you and they are on you when they see you need or want something. So happy to see this type of old-school service. The FOOD!! OMG! Everything we had was delicious and plenty of it. It tastes homemade and so good. No one bad food plate. The prices were great too. No issues with pricing.. To top it off... they come bring you the bill with complimentary shots of homemade cherry whiskey type drink. (Shooter) not really sure what it was but it was cold and smoothing. And I don't feel those were hidden in the cost of the food, I truly believe it was a gift of "Thank you " for eating there. Over all, after 2 weeks all over Italy 🇮🇹, my best place to eat. If back to Italy, I will be back here. So delicious..

Enjoyed breakfast there were a few options to chose from. Service was attentive and prompt. The atmosphere is nice for outdoor seating. Just know it is a busy area, right next to a very busy cross walk with some traffic in the nearby intersection. Can be entertaining if you enjoy a busy atmosphere. Our table wasnt near the crowds so it was perfectly acceptable for me.

Absolutely our favorite dining spot in Sorrento! It has a lovely view from the outside, staff is fast and friendly, and most importantly, the food was outstanding! We ordered tomato bruscetta, the sorrentino gnocchi, and pesto pasta with extra shrimp. The bruscetta was fresh, gnocchi was the best we had in our life! So juicy and full of flavor! Pesto Pasta was fresh, zesty, and with an amazing touch! It was fulfilling and worth more than we were charged. The restroom also was very clean.

We stayed in Sorrento for 4 nights recently and had dinner twice here. The atmosphere was perfect for us, situated in the heart of Piazza Tasso where people watching is the main attraction. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered the Insalata Nizzarasa that came eggs, tuna, olives, onions and potatoes as a starter, and then Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, followed by the best pizza we had ever had! Pizza con salsiccia (sausage) e melanzane (eggplant). Plus ordered a bottle of local red wine (Anglianico Janare Rosso) that was very reasonably priced and so delicious! The second time we went we had to wait for a table but the owner/ host gave us each a glass of prosecco on the house and had us wait in the bar area until our table was ready. Also, the bathrooms are the cleanest I have seen in Italy or anywhere else! The prices were very reasonable and an excellent value. I highly recommend Fauno Bar for drinks and food!

We recently dined here while on an excursion from the cruise port. We only had a limited time while in Sorrento. We sat down without a wait and they served us promptly. I highly recommend getting pizza since this is home of the pizza. You will not be disappointed. Also, limoncello with complementary after your meal. Make sure to eat fast so you have time to do some shopping. Next time we are in Sorrento, we are coming back.

This is a nice place to eat. The food was tasty but over priced. The hostess was very pleasant but the main manager was not very friendly and a bit grumpy. The rest of the servers were great. The restaurant was beautiful inside and very clean. If you don't mind paying for high prices it's worth visiting.

As they say—always ask the locals where to eat! We would’ve never discovered this amazing spot just by walking around, but thankfully, our hotel staff recommended it and made a reservation for us. To our surprise, the food was absolutely next level—every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. When we mentioned we’d like to share our dishes, the staff thoughtfully split everything into two portions without us even asking again. It’s those little touches that make a big difference. The seafood platter was a standout—rich in flavor, incredibly fresh, and beautifully presented. Honestly, there wasn’t a single dish we could fault. A special thank you to Francesco, who truly elevated our dining experience with his warmth and attentiveness. This restaurant is a must-visit if you’re looking for incredible food and genuine hospitality.

Excellent meal, pasta dishes perfectly cooked and tasty. Service was very good, prices are little high but well worth it for the quality.

One of the best restaurants we tried during our recent visit to Sorrento. We ordered a pizza & calzone and both were wonderful and plentiful enough to share. Be aware that this is a white tablecloth restaurant though so plan on being a bit dressed up. As an added bonus, the restaurant treats each guest to a shot of limoncello at the end of the meal.

I had the stuffed pizza and caramel chocolate cake. The pizza wasn't really cooked all the way but I was so hungry that I kept quiet. I've learned that if you tell an Italian restaurant that their food wasn't prepared properly that they take great offense to it. I've been in the food industry and I've worked in places that do things to food on the return back to the customer so thats always been a paranoia of mine that someone will do something to my food if I send it back. We had a change of waiters mid meals not by choice but we were okay with it since our original waiter wasn't in a good mood and rushed us through our ordering. Prior to coming here we saw a few pictures on the border of pg rating so I wasn't surprised to see the picture on my place once my pizza was finished. I think if you don't speak their language it makes your experience slightly worse and seems like they didn't care for you the same way.

Ordered gluten free pizza and it was great. Really enjoyed it. My partner order calzone and found that the ingredients were not well spread out inside and it was low on tomato sauce

Lovely meal here and the house wine is delicious. The setting is lovely and very authentic. Service wasn’t very personal but everything came out in good time.

Overall we had a good experience here, out VRBO host recommended this place as “the best” in the area. I had a pizza and it was a little watery/floppy for my liking but it was still delicious. My wife had GF pasta and she did say it wasn’t as good as other places we tired. And we also got gnocchi which was very good. We had a great meal and we were satisfied at the end of the day.

This charming, family-owned restaurant was a PERFECT final meal for our trip to Southern Italy. We were met by a friendly employee who sat us down and asked if we wanted a glass of wine while we waited for our table (we had a reservation). The atmosphere is cute and cozy. We got our table in the alley, which was perfect (Sorrento is full of beautiful alleyways). The pizza was the best I’d had and I’d basically eaten pizza every day for 7 days. My friend and I split a delicious pasta dish so that’s why the portion may look a little small, but it was super delicious and tasted so fresh. The service was great and it was an overall, WONDERFUL experience. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Italian meal with a simply charming atmosphere!

What an unbelievable experience. The food, the music, the atmosphere, the staff, everything is 10/10. Luigi is extremely accommodating and helped recommend places to visit during our time in Sorrento. We couldn’t recommend this family - run restaurant enough!! Just wow!

I got the gnocchi alla sorrentina and it was pretty good. My husband got the green shrimp gnocchi and he says it was pretty ok. The fries and the baked potatoes were enjoyable. I didn’t realize we ordered everything potato until halfway through eating LOL. We had leftovers because it was very filling.

Amazing food, and very good prices! I was very pleased with literally everything. The carbonara were a bit salty, but I am sure that's just how the recipe is. I also tried some risotto with shrimp and it tasted amazing.

I ordered a lemon pasta with shrimp and asked clearly if it was made with lemon juice or cream. They said cream. The pasta had no lemon flavor. It wasn’t even salted. I had to send it back. When it came out again, they had just thrown some salt on top. Not worth the price.

The food was very good and it was extremely helpful that we had a reservation. It was packed and for a good reason, it was great! They even brought out a little side dish for you If you don’t order when others at the table are eating they give you a snack so you’re not left out. The staff are quick and polite. We got our first meal out very quickly but our second meal took 45 minutes where we were just sitting waiting to pay and leave but they wouldn’t let us because our food was still being processed. That was our only disappointment. The other disappointment which was small but out of their control was an accordion player played like two songs and then went around, asking for tips, which we thought he would continue playing, but he just left with the money. Kinda funny but wish we didn’t tip for two short songs.

I'm discussing food and eating for the last 2 weeks in Italy we made mention that we had not had our usual staples for food... We needed something besides pasta.. Protein... Wifeeee wanted beef and I wanted local seafood. In one second she told us to come here, we did and we can't say enough about the whole experience!! Great servers great food (good size portions) and if you like wine he has a wine cellar to dream about!!!

Food was real average and service was horrendous. Unless you want to be in your chair up against the table and constantly have your chair pushed and grabbed on to do not come here. The entire dinner me and my fiancé had our chairs as far as we could go in and we both kept getting pushed into and our chairs grabbed the entire night. At one point a server even bumped into my fiancé so hard his wrist was slammed into the table causing him pain throughout the night and hours later now. Towards the end of the night what seemed to be the owner even started smoking behind the bar which is near at least 10 tables completely ruined our appetite. The staff were very rude to everyone and unprofessional. Not a single smile from any customer in the room like you would normally see when going out to dinner. We saw multiple other people leave unhappy. Servers were slamming dishes around unnecessarily and slamming the coolers for the wine everywhere causing a loud echoing noise through the restaurant and multiple people turning around to see what the commotion was about. Do not come here unless you want an anxiety ridden meal worrying about the next time you’re going to get slammed in to.

Overall great experience. The food was great and the atmosphere and the service were good. The pasta is really amazing. Note that the prices you see online are outdated and nowadays it’s a bit pricey. Tip: you can ask to go to the wine cellar

Food was a solid 4, but the service was so horrible it over rides any sort of good meal. Male waiter black glasses heavy set serving back end of resteraunt near pizza oven has no business serving. Not a single smile, slamming into our chairs constantly, shoved his hand behind my fiances back to grab her chair when walking by, my elbow got slammed into so hard my hand launched up and wrist hit the side of the table. Owner/manager smoking a cigarette behind the bar filling the dining room with the aroma.. service was legit 3rd world.. horrible energy in whole room, front room had diff vibe and energy. My wrist is still throbbing, I would not return here for a free meal.

We visit this restaurant when we go to Sorrento. Not only is the atmosphere so cool with the Sophia Loren photos but different dining experiences as well. Food was fantastic. The zucchini pasta, burrata and filet was amazing. So was the dessert. Make reservations.

This restaurant is all about atmosphere. It’s beautifully decorated with indoor/outdoor seating. We had pesto raviolis and gnocchi to start followed by pork chops that were well grilled. Service was below average but such a cool spot.

I have to share this wonderful experience – I was served a stunning fish dish: delicious, hot, and perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh, crisp, and absolutely tasty. The food was clean and of high quality, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the waiters were friendly and attentive. Definitely a culinary experience I highly recommend!

We found this spot looking for dinner and drinks. It is located in the centre of Sorrento and we were welcomed in by very friendly staff. It is a street restaurant, so don’t expect any views, however if you want a nice pasta or pizza at affordable prices then this is the place to go. Food is served very quickly and tasted delicious. We went for a margarita pizza and carbonara pasta. Both portion sizes are huge (We couldn’t finish the dishes) and served hot and fresh. Would highly recommend a visit.

I recently dined at a Ristorante La Basilica that offers not only authentic cuisine. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. The decor is simply stunning, combining traditional Italian elegance with contemporary touches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, it was an exceptional culinary experience that I highly recommend. Check out the pictures associated with this review and follow on IG @ifooditravel

The best spot to go - cannot recommend enough! We had two pizzas and they were both fantastic, drink options were plentiful and tasty. The service is unparalleled - so professional and efficient. You can sit in the front dining room/patio for a lively experience, or ask to sit in the back dining room for a more intimate dinner. You should eat here!

Amazing experience 🤎✨😮‍💨🙌🏻Amazing food ; beautiful place with excellent service; our Server Giuseppe he give me the best recommendation for the food (Risotto Fungi) and Dessert (lemon cake ) Everything is perfect… Thank you so much for you kindness .we will see you soon. Lau&Ale

Visited the place multiple times after going to different restaurants in Sorrento. For us it stood out with the great service and great food and wines. Definitely would recommend to visit.

We dined at this place and everything was delicious. Giuseppe provided us with the best experience and service. Food, location and price is amazing.

Beautiful family run restaurant. We were lucky to get a table for 2 as it was a Saturday night. The whole time we were sitting down, there was a queue outside of people trying to get tables. Food was beautiful, incredibly cheap compared to the other high profile restaurants in Sorrento and the quality and quantity were definitely better! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent experience here today. We ordered the fried anchovies and king prawns as an appetiser, and the seafood handmade pasta for our mains. The food was delicious!! It was fresh and full of flavour, and the white wine we had was a perfect pairing with our food. Service was great, the seating / atmosphere was perfect, I really felt the Italian vibe, the culture, the people, it was just perfect. The complimentary bread, olive oil/chilli oil and fresh chilli’s were also very yum! Thank you for having us we will definitely be back :)

Very disappointing. The food took too long to arrive, and when it finally came it was cold, bland, and tiny portions. The seafood pasta had only mussels and clams, and the risotto portion was barely a spoonful, the squid was tasteless and chewy ! We returned 3 dishes yet paid almost full price!! Not worth it.

Had all my lunches and dinners here while in Sorrento. Lovely little family owned place with top notch food. I essentially ordered whatever the staff recommended. Everything was fab.

This spot is tucked away on a back street, but is well known and rightfully well loved! After reading the reviews, we had to try it for ourselves. The mozzarella and prosciutto were fresh, and the peppered mussels were simple but tasty. We enjoyed the Lasagna (Sorrento Style) and the Scialatielli with Porcini Mushrooms and Smoked Cheese. Both pastas were delicious and full of flavour. It truly felt like a home cooked, family meal—extremely impressed with the flavours and fresh ingredients. We didn’t have a reservation but sat on their lovely street terrace. It got extremely busy once we sat down, so we found that service was quite slow (dinner rush). The staff were still friendly and welcoming but seemed overwhelmed; we weren’t in a rush, so this wasn’t the end of the world. We would recommend this family-run place for anyone looking for authentic, delicious Neapolitan cuisine.

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are amazing – super friendly and really attentive. Every single dish we had was delicious. The stuffed courgette flowers were incredible, and the mixed seafood platter was so fresh. One of our favourite meals in Sorrento. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing. My family all had pasta dishes, my wife also had the catch of the day which was sea bass. Some of the best food we had in Sorrento for sure and nowhere near as expensive as other places. We had booked a table through our hotel, which was good as there was a queue forming at around 8pm. We were sat on a table outside on the narrow street but, there were a few e-bikes flying past which kind of took the magic away a bit.

Our hotel recommended this restaurant that was off the beaten path and offered a shuttle service to get there. They didn't answer the phone so we ended up trekking up the hill hoping for a local experience. What we found was a bizarre mixture of restaurant, zoo, playground, and dining hall. There were multiple staff running around but only ours and one other table occupied. Food was good but strange experience that I'm not sure I'd recommend venturing out of the main town for. Plenty of other more authentic and enjoyable places closer to the old town.

Not touristy at all, seems like a local place. One of the best food we had in sorrento with warm and kind service!! The price is reasonable. I had the risotto (14 euro)and my husband the steak (30 euro). Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our food.

If you are in town, must go to this place. They offer free pick from the hotel( not sure how far) but they did pick us up. Lovely atmosphere, happy people. Excellent service, delicious food. I wish we can add 6 stars.

Great service, excellent food and free parking. We went on Saturday lunch. The service was great, really friendly and helpful. I don't speak Italian, they gave us an English menu and were really helpful. We were the only tourists in the restaurant. Seeing Italians eat there is a great vote of confidence for the food. For a family of 4 we spent just under 100 EUR which was reasonable. The octopus spaghetti was on their special board and was incredibly tasty. I've had octopus quite a few times, but this was the best. My partner had spaghetti with clams and loved it. The kids enjoyed their pasta too. The grilled mozzarella was amazing!

Delicious farm to table spot off the beaten path. Food was fresh and prepared nicely. Service was a bit slow but we were in no rush. Warm inviting vibe here and the walk in through the lemon grove with lights was beautiful. Worth a trip.

We came across this restaurant due to the proximity of our hotel and we enjoyed it. Locals frequent here, which is always a good sign. It's a lively atmosphere with kids and families, and we enjoyed our food ans drinks.

Wonderful restaurant just a short walk from the center. One of the only places I went to in Sorrento that didn’t feel completely geared towards tourists, and I mean that as the highest compliment. From the friendly service to the incredible food to the reasonable prices to the homey atmosphere, I absolutely loved dining here. Highly recommend!

We love this place 🍝 We visited this restaurant 4 times during our stay in Sorrento, and every single visit was perfect! The food is absolutely the best we’ve had, and the service is just as incredible. They always went out of their way to accommodate us, and we felt so welcomed every time. It’s walk-in only with no bookings, but it was definitely worth the wait. The atmosphere felt like sitting in Nonna’s house, enjoying hearty Italian food at a very reasonable price – and it’s absolutely NOT a tourist trap. The ravioli was our favourite stand out dish, wow! A huge thank you to the owner Pepe and the amazing staff Angelo, Rosita, Mary & Andrea – you made our experience unforgettable. We’ve recommended this restaurant to all of our family and friends who have since visited Sorrento, and they’ve all raved about it (many going back multiple times too!). Can’t wait to visit again!

We just had the best meal of our Italian trip here. Absolutely incredible. The food, service and quality is exceptional. Well worth lining up for. We dined here twice and will likely again before leaving Sorrento, it’s that good. The ravioli con pomadorini was delicious ans was the polpetti and pasta con melanzane. The rib eye beef steak even better than we had in Tuscany! The line was really long tonight and we paid for it with a terrible meal elsewhere. Do yourself a favour and line up - there’s a reason the line is so long. The owner and all staff are all super friendly and maintain exceptional customer service to all customers, even with the masses that come through. We look forward to dining there again asap!

We’ve traveled to many cities in Italy on vacation and out of all the places, this place was the BEST! The food was excellent: zucchini flowers were 10/10, gnocchi was amazing, and the penne alla cantinaccia was incredible!! The chocolate soufflé was SO GOOD that we ordered a second one! The staff were so friendly and welcoming! Definitely worth waiting in line for a seat here! We will make a point to come back here multiple times next time we’re in town!

This is the best restaurant in Sorrento. Stand in the line, just wait it out (they'll give you cheese or some other goodies if the line is long). The food is awesome, no coperto or cover charge (a rarity in Sorrento!) - and the atmosphere is awesome. Wine and food portions are extremely generous. This is how a restaurant should be - it feels like a family run place where the workers are having fun, great decoration. Servers were joking with the kids in our group and they had such a fun time. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food, and the service received. Oh, and the Gorgonzola Ravioli is one of the best pasta we had on our entire trip to Italy!

I passed by this restaurant at night and always long line so I decided to try it after reading good positive reviews. Me and my partner went here for lunch and was no wait. I ordered pasta with seafood in red sauce and my partner got the ravioli. His ravioli is 10/10. I think the best homemade one i tried so far. My dish was hugh and I couldn’t finish it but test so good. If you realize everywhere you go around here there is a fees per person when you dine in but not at this place they didn’t charge you for that. The big bottle of sparkling only 3euro. We also ordered a side of 3 meatballss which are delicious and only 6euro for that. I ordered it somewhere else and they charged you for 16euro for 3 meatball.

We set out to find a special Italian restaurant and stumbled upon this hidden gem, not realizing how renowned it truly is. First off, this place is listed in Rick Steves' Italy guide as a must-try spot 😳. Just five minutes after we sat down, a food tour group joined us, making it clear that this restaurant is famous for its incredible Italian cuisine. And boy, were they right—absolutely wowed! Both of our dishes were fantastic. My seafood pasta was overflowing with fresh seafood—more than pasta! Don't miss out on their Lemoncello Spritz and the exceptional Taurasi wines. I highly recommend giving this place a visit. No reservations needed, so go ahead and enjoy a true Italian feast!

As a mortgage lender from the US, La Cantinaccia del Popolo quickly became my favorite spot in Sorrento — we went three times during our week-long stay. The place is always packed (for good reason), and they even bring out cheese samples to people waiting in line, which was such a fun touch. Every dish we tried was amazing — the calamari was the best I’ve had, and the ravioli with pancetta was my personal favorite. Great staff, incredible energy, fantastic house wine, and beautiful presentations. A true gem and a must-visit when in Sorrento.

We celebrated our wedding day here on 21.08.25 with 60+ of our family and friends. The decor, service and food was outstanding. We’d visited a few times a couple of years before and knew this was the place we wanted to celebrate! The food was plentiful, the drinks were flowing and the team could not do more to ensure the day and night was a success from start to finish. We had a meeting with the reception manager a few days prior and we knew our plans were in the best hands. Everyone loved the food & commented on how generous the portions were and how tasty it all was. Thank you for an unforgettable day and we will see you next year! Lauren & Charlie xx

We booked here when we first arrived in Sorrento, to be sure if a table for our wedding meal. Every detail went as planned. The food was gorgeous, the staff could not do enough for us. Everyone in the restaurant cheered as we arrived. Smiles all around. We got the best seat in the house. Looking out to that beautiful sea. We could not have picked a better place. They cater for large groups along with tiny bookings too. If you are going to Sorrento, be sure to make a booking. Your good memories will last forever. Also live music every night. Desert is also a dream. Kids welcome too. Enjoy 😃

Absolutely amazing view, food to match. Had the Gnocchi and it was the best dish I’ve had so far in Italy. Service very friendly too, and the food came quickly. Not too overpriced, but would pay for that view every time. Amazing experience all round.

You’re definitely paying for the view here! Our tour guide recommended it and we could see why- the view is unmatched. I felt it was expensive for what you got but we enjoyed the setting for sure. Very cool building. We split a Margherita pizza and just had coffees to drink. Cocktails were around €14.

This is our favorite dinner spot in Sorrento! The stunning views, delicious food, live music, and outstanding service make every visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Amazing view, fantastic food and service. Lots of choice on the menu and I would definitely recommend for that special meal/night out. However the bill wasn't clear and included a cover charge and service charge. The cover charge is €3 pp but the initial bill we received at the table didn't state the service charge which was also added to the total. We then put cash in the tip jar as we left the main seating area to pay. It was only once we received the receipt that it stated the service charge. Please don't let that put you off, I'd still go back and recommend it to anyone.

We loved it here. Extensive menu. Beautiful view and lovely atmosphere. Everything we eat was delicious - this shrimp and pistachio pasta was a standout!

Absolutely outstanding meal – without doubt the best we’ve had since arriving in the South. Every dish was cooked with precision and bursting with flavour. The zesty, lemony tagliolini was perfectly balanced and refreshing, the fried seafood platter crisp and light with the freshest catch, and the red snapper was simply superb. The octopus, delicately paired with orange zest, added a unique twist we’ll remember for a long time. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic taste. A real highlight of our trip – highly recommended!

Food was the best we had in Sorrento, everyone should try the lemon pasta. Service was nice and quick, if you do not know what to get, they have good suggestions. Atmosphere could not be better. Beautiful alleyway!

One of if not the best meal we’ve had in Italy. Recommend highly. Very Friendly service, charming atmosphere. We hated our plates so my fotos represent half portions .FABULOUS food!!

The lemon twist pasta is the one of best pasta we had in last 2 weeks in southern Italy. It’s really special, rich in seafood umami but refreshing aroma because of lemon in dish. The red prawn starter is also must-try dish, fresh and yummy. The dessert is so so though 😆 One of a young waiter could have trained better, no greeting placed wrong order and spent most of the time playing his phone

This place is a real tourist trap. We fell for the Google reviews and had high hopes, but unfortunately that was not the case here. I had the Canneloni, which was decent, but was not very hot at all. The filling was tasty and the pasta was good, it has a cream sauce that wasn’t good though. My wife had a squid pasta dish. Her pasta was not good. It was not cooked long enough at all, and was very hard. We also ordered a side of meatballs that were just decent. Bottom line, do not fall for the Google reviews!

Last minute change of plan, found this unique, convenient and good restaurant for our group of 8. No lines, good food and comfortable ambiance to enjoy our meal and gathering. Definitely a great place for big group with good and courteous service.

We had a lovely meal at Fuoro. The staff were very nice and accommodating to our needs. We sat upstairs in the terrace which had fans and air conditioning. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The meatball starter is amazing - definitely recommend!

Tried this place based on recommendation from a local city guide. Also it was very close to our snorkeling tour company. I ordered the lobster pasta which was excellent. The pasta I have read is home made. The tomato sauce was simple and light but very flavorful. My wife tried the sea bass and zucchini. It was good but she would have liked a bit more salt. We had a table right next to the water and enjoyed the picturesque surroundings. The restaurant is family owned and operated. They were very kind and not in a hurry to move us along which is great unless you are work out and wanting the check to get home.

A local recommended this restaurant and it did NOT disappoint! We were in Sorrento for 8 nights and the sea bass here was the best dinner of the entire trip! We had the prosciutto/mozzarella starter and then went on to the sea bass, which was perfectly seasoned and tender. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. …not to mention a half liter of their house wine was only €7. 10 out of 10! Highly recommended.

One of the best experiences we had during our stay. We visited twice for dinner given how much we liked it. The service was amazing, the people are friendly and the food is very good. It's a family run restaurant with fresh catch and have a very home cooked feeling to it. Very recommended if you are around.

Excellent food! We had the spaghetti alle vongole and the grilled fish of the day - sea bass - and it was so delicious. You have to finish your meal with the lemon sorbetto - it’s incredible. Great hospitality! Looking forward to returning next time.

Had a great experience here with friends. We were welcomed with great hospitality. We tried the house wine which was lovely and refreshing. The food was just amazing. Seafood was clean, super fresh and tasty. The lobster spaghetti and grilled octopus were my favourite. The calamari was super fresh, soft and very well seasoned. The Parmigiana de melizaane was delicious too.

My seafood medley was delicious! So many flavors! Realizing there specialty is seafood, my wife ordered chicken, as is tradition, and it was incredibly bland. I would try them again!

We’ve had the best experience. They served us handmade pasta with a very generous amount of seafood and it was just amazing. We really enjoyed the meal and the whole atmosphere at the restaurant was fantastic. We had a beautiful view and the service was lovely. We felt really well treated. If we would stay in Sorrento for longer we would definitely come back here :)

By far the best food we’ve had in Italy and in our lives. We’re pretty tough food critics so a lot of food is hard to beat especially in Europe, but this was absolutely incredible (we live in NY for reference). Everything was so fresh and so light. The service was above average, every employee so friendly and sweet. The atmosphere was beautiful and fun with live music- and the music was not overbearing you could easily still have conversations. We will definitely be going back and strongly recommend everyone to try it too!

Most amazing experience. We needed a last minute dinner and at 10pm they seated us right away and the OWNER was the waiter for every table and was so sweet kind and helpful recommended his famous dishes and wine and food was incredible and came quick. Great atmosphere huge place not close tables, felt like your nonnas house- and the live music was incredible set a great atmosphere for the whole restaurant vibe everyone eating and singing along ! & so affordable. Can’t wait to come back, made us feel like family <3

An absolute gem hidden in a romantic corner in the historic district. We were served by Giuseppe himself and he made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere is cozy, yet not cramped, and the entire place is brought to life by the beautiful live music. The food was delicious, both my husband and I were so sad to be full but don't worry, we ordered dessert. Thanks for making our last night in Sorrento so memorable!

One of the few best meals we had in Italy! Food was bursting with flavor whereas we felt that a lot of our dining experiences were just ok. The calamari was delicious and a highlight, but everything was great!

Absolutely amazing! We made a reservation for this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals during our entire 2 week stay. The ambiance is incredible and all of the staff were very nice. Will be coming back the next time we are in Sorrento!

This is a highly recommended experience when visiting Sorrento. The warmth of the staff and the music and singing are so much fun. My favourite part was asking for our bill and being told “no, you stay” by our host, Giuseppe. Not sure we felt this kind of authentic experience anywhere else.

Hands down the best meal we have had in Italy so far. An absolute stand out was the Bruschetta - the best thing I have ever eaten. Please get this!!! The Gnocchi and Sausage pasta were also beautiful. We went at lunch time and were the only couple in the restaurant - a lovely escape from the busy strip just a step away.

My partner and I both got food poisoning from eating here and it nearly prevented us from being able to travel to the Amalfi Coast the following day. Now that we have eaten at multiple restaurants in Sorrento, the food here was nowhere near the quality of what you would expect - especially in comparison to the other places in town. We ordered the seafood appetizer and we could tell it wasn’t fresh so we didn’t finish it. The sauce for my pasta was tasty but the prawns had a weird texture - almost like they were formed from mashed potatoes or something. I didn’t finish eating that either. We did notice a disclaimer on the menu that stated, depending on season, some foods are cooked from frozen, but I didn’t imagine that would be applicable during the summer months where seafood and produce is in abundance here. We should have left upon reading that. The service was decent, with one of our wait staff in particular being friendlier than the rest. However, when we were escorted in to our table, we were told there were no seats remaining in the prime areas so we were put at a table in the corner near the bar and bathrooms. This would have been okay if it truly was the only seat remaining, but when I saw the host seat Italian guests in the gazebo, I felt a little annoyed - especially because the guests were in line just behind us and they too were walk-in guests without reservations. The ambience is really pretty. From the outside, bustle, you wouldn’t imagine that you would be seated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by gardens and lemon trees. I just would have loved a different table to better enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, I would not recommend this place for the food experience, there are much better places in town. If you want to be in the atmosphere, I would suggest checking it out for a cocktail or glass of wine.

This might just be the best pizza in Sorrento! With so many choices on the menu, you really can’t go wrong. From the outside, the place looks small, but once inside you’ll find a beautiful, spacious restaurant, complete with areas where you can dine under lemon trees. The pizza was outstanding (we stuck with that, though the menu offers plenty of other options). Highly recommend!

What a cool restaurant! Backs on an area surrounded by hotels and buildings with amazing gardens and flowers. The food was excellent, MANY gluten free options. Nunzio and Ricardo were our servers and both awesome! Located right in the heart of sorrento. Prices were fair for a touristy spot. Good selection of pasta pizza seafood and meat entrees.

What an incredible restaurant. Walk-ins only, no reservations. The queue moved really quickly. The atmosphere is out of this world! Lemon trees, fairy lights and lovely background music. I cannot begin to compliment how delicious the food was! Everything tastes incredible and you just know that they use locally sourced fresh ingredients! Their gluten free options were incredible! Gluten free pasta, pizzas, crispy risotto and lovely warmed bread to start 😌 Extremely good value for the quality of food and overall atmosphere ☺️

Our favourite meal and experience in Sorrento. They had a separate gluten free menu and took the time to explain about cross contamination of my partners side dishes if I chose to have some of them. The absolute best GF seafood pasta and steak! Serene atmosphere away from the hussle and bustle despite being located on the Main Street. Wish we had time to go back!

Everything was good. I had home made gnocchi, that was excellent, but the real treasure here was the sea food risotto that my wife had. Really amazing risotto. The tiramisu could be better, if they keep it simple, the first cream with egg I found in this area was amazing, but they add some chocolate chips in the tiramisu that I didn’t enjoyed that much. Also the lady’s fingers were a little bit too soft, too much sirup. The interior court is really nice.

We really loved the setup of this place. It's so easy to miss but you won't be disappointed if you find it. It was really nice with several seating sections that were all lovely. We got there at 10:30pm and were still able to order a full meal as they close at 12. We got the risotto and the steak & peppers. Both were very good.

Truffle pasta was very good and the pizza was one of the better ones we have had on our trip, they do not allow sharing of pizza kinda an odd rule but whatever. Pizza had a good undercarriage and decent crust. Overall the pizza was a 7.7/10 and pasta was a similar rating.

We discovered Il Giardino di Gennaro through friends we met during a tour. They had eaten there twice during their week in Sorrento and were already planning a third visit. We almost didn’t go because of the low TripAdvisor ratings, but I’m very glad we did. It turned out to be our favorite restaurant in Sorrento and easily the best value for the quality of food and experience. We ended up eating there twice during our one week stay, which is rare for us. When we travel, we try to sample as much of the regional gastronomy as possible and usually avoid repeating restaurants. Il Giardino di Gennaro was the clear exception because it was that good. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially on the upper terrace where herbs lightly scent the air. The staff are warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. Gennaro, the owner, was a gracious host who personally helped us select excellent wine pairings that perfectly complemented each meal. During our week in Sorrento we also tried several highly rated places, including a two star Michelin restaurant in the city and another with one star nearby, yet this was the meal we remembered most. The food, service, and price were exceptional. What we ordered (over two nights): • Raw oysters, briny, fresh, and delicious • Beef carpaccio, beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned • Fried calamari, light and crisp • Mare Nostrum seafood salad, fresh, bright, and delicately balanced • Bistecca alla Fiorentina, ordered medium rare and served exactly as we wanted, carved at the table by Gennaro himself • Sea bass baked in a salt crust, tender, fresh, and full of flavor • Homemade millefeuille and lemon delight, both superb and among the best desserts we had in Italy Every detail reflected pride and care, from the ingredients to the presentation to the genuine hospitality. For anyone visiting Sorrento, do not let the TripAdvisor ratings mislead you. Il Giardino di Gennaro is a gem. Go, enjoy, and you will see why it became our favorite restaurant for the price.

Nice restaurant. Good food selection and nice seating. Really enjoyed it, but the weather was hot. So I recommend stopping by at night.

I had a great dining experience at De Garden Restaurant in Sorrento. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely outdoor setting It’s a place where you can relax, enjoy fresh dishes, I would recommend De Garden to anyone visiting Sorrento.

Had a lovely family meal whilst on holiday in Sorrento. Great spit and atmosphere in the terraced garden. Food was well cooked and waiting time also good. Reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in the area. Would recommend and would visit again

The Garden - A Hidden Treasure in Sorrento Centre We found this treasure 20 years ago and, still today we are getting surprised by the quality of the food/wine and the hospitality of the staff. You can enter the restaurant via the wine-bar on the main-street (Corso Italia) or via the stairs in the alley. If you're wondering why you should consider choosing to eat meat while in a region renowned for its fresh fish, let me share my experience at The Garden. This restaurant is celebrated for its high quality dry-aged meat, making it a destination worth visiting. Plus, it offers a great opportunity to enjoy a beautiful full-bodied Aglianico wine. For those who still want a taste of the sea, there are plenty of delightful antipasti dishes featuring fish, allowing diners to enjoy the best of both worlds. To start our dinner, we opted for the “crudo” plate, which featured a lovely variety of fresh fish, paired with a tempura-style cod. It was a perfect appetizer that set the tone for the meal ahead. We also asked for the Focaccia with Pomodorino, a mandatory side dish at The Garden that complements any meal beautifully. The highlight of our dinner was the stunning steak Florentine, which Gennaro himself expertly sliced for us. Although it was served with three sauces, I found that all it really needed was a sprinkle of fresh pepper and a few Maldon salt flakes to highlight its incredible flavor. Overall, it was another exceptional food and wine experience at The Garden, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully with the introduction of “Novello 2025.” Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the culinary delights of Sorrento!

The food was delicious and the staff was really sweet! We ordered antipasto for 2 and a drink and it was a good amount of food

It was a decent meal. I personally have a strong dislike for small portions of food. And Accento’s portions were medium, just enough for you to enjoy but not enough for you to fill up. Had the octopus for starter. I don’t think the pumpkin puree works well in the dish. The charcoal/smokiness of the octopus requires the company of something sour/fresh. The mildly sweet pumpkin didn’t do it for me. The squid ink gnocchi was delicious but the portion was just not enough for me. The capresse cake was a bit dry. Service was great.

We had a delicious dinner here our first night in Sorrento. It is a fancier restaurant, slightly towards the higher end in presentation and prices, but the pasta and appetizer we ordered to share were also delicious. We booked an earlier time for dinner so it wasn't crowded when we arrived. Service was good and we did not wait have to wait long for our food. Overall we had a nice dining experience here.

Accento deserves a Michelin Star! I'd take an international flight or a cross-country train ride just to eat at this amazing restaurant. I first discovered Accento 2 1/2 years ago on a trip with friends. The owner, Lucca, and Francesca treated us like family. They even gave us our favorite bottle of wine as a parting gift on our last night in Sorrento. Years later, I returned with my own family. They treated my sons kindly, and the food continues to be Michelin Star quality. The wine list is superb, the presentation is artistic, and the ambiance perfect. Don't miss Accento. It will be the best reservation you make during your Italian adventure.

The most amazing and beautiful ambient restaurant in Sorrento! 🌟 The eggplant parmesan was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The staff were not only extremely professional and attentive, but also so sweet, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made the whole experience unforgettable. The vibe, the food, the service—everything was spot on. I truly loved this place and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sorrento!

My husband and I had the vegetarian ravioli and spaghetti with zucchini. They were outstanding! 100% recommend this restaurant even though it has a few options. The staff is incredible and super helpful!

Ravioli is very good. It has a nice smoky flavor to it. The fried zucchini spaghetti lacks flavor. It is cooked well but needs additional seasoning. The staff did a nice job of getting you bread and is very pleasant.

One of the best dining experiences in Sorrento. The cod Croquettes is surprisingly nice. Almost like a crab cake but use cod instead. The tagliatelle with red prawn is also amazing. The pasta is perfectly al dente. We choose tuna and lamb rack for the main courses. I must admit this is probably the best sesame tuna I’ve had. The lamb is also very juicy and tender. We opened a bottle of local white wine which also goes very well with the seafood. Finished with a shot of nocino and limoncello. After all, a wonderful dining experience, especially if you could have a table outdoors watching the change of color of the street in the evening.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience We had an absolutely wonderful evening at this restaurant. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and memorable. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the private pick-up and drop-off service from our hotel. Our driver was patient and accommodating, even waiting for us to explore the surroundings after dinner. To top it all off, our waiter thoughtfully offered us plastic cups so we could take the remaining wine with us for a relaxing walk. Every detail felt carefully considered, turning our dinner into a truly wholesome and memorable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for more than just a meal—this was hospitality at its finest.

We’ve been in Italy almost 7 days and this place by far has been the most tasteful restaurant, we had the gnocchi with clams , linguine margarita pizza and calamari and they all were amazing!! I recommend this place to everyone.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The hospitality was exceptional, so friendly and helpful. The food was very fresh and lovely, and very well presented. Particular mention to the gentlemen from Bangladesh, he was so friendly and gave my husband multiple free drinks. So lovely!

We had a wonderful time at this place for e nights!! Wonderful service from the maitre Michele Trometta to our waitstaff, Mosharucaf and Marina! The food was delicious. The first night we had the warm squid salad which was light and the lemon flavor was excellent. Both seafood pastas were fresh rich taste. The second night we started with the prosciutto and melon which was a lovely combination and I had a seafood white pizza for the main course which had a great crust! Our last night we had the large fish dish with hi made pasta! The pasta was cooked aldente and very nice texture with the fish! The fish as fresh and they take the bone out right in front of you! Definitely stop by.

Great restaurant near the harbour in Sorrento. After making our booking we arranged via WhatsApp for the restaurant to collect us from our hotel. The lift arrived in time and took us down to the restaurant. On arrival the manager greeted us and we were given a glass of complimentary fizz. The food and service were both excellent and I think good value for money for our family of four (two teens). We had two starters to share, mains and two desserts plus a bottle of the house white and a bottle of the house red. The total was just over €200 (inc water and service). After dinner we had our free lift back to our hotel. The only slight disappointment is that whilst it’s located in the harbour there is no view of the waterfront.

I was walking by and decided to look down from the street. I was pleasantly surprised by a welcoming smile. Hossain welcomed me to have some breakfast. The pastries were warm and coffee was very strong. While sitting drinking coffee the owner came in and said hello to everyone. He then started dancing with his employee which made everyone smile. Great place, highly recommend. The owner also helped some tourist with getting a taxi. Great people!!!

I don’t write a lot of reviews. I have to tell all what a fantastico experience we had at Vela Bianca this evening. From the moment we were seated until the time we left, we were treated so well. The manager, Michael, was kind and welcoming. Our primary server, Mucharo, took great care of us and we adored his sense of humor. The food was amazing… best meal in Sorrento so far. We’re hoping to come back again before we leave. Highly recommend!

Very mixed experience. I was left waiting at the door while people who came in after me were given a table first. Then after I was sat at a dirty table, I wasn't given a menu for 10 minutes. I ordered my food and drinks and then waited another 10 minutes before the waiter came back as he'd forgotten to do anything about my order. My drink was then served quickly which was a great portion for the price. I then had a 30 minute wait for my pasta to finally arrive, meaning I had spent nearly an hour waiting to eat when the restaurant was only mildly busy. The food itself was fantastic though, one of the best carbonaras I'd had in some time. Portion was also very sizable for the very reasonable price.

I highly recommend it; it was like eating at home. Antonio welcomed us five days in a row, offering spectacular, affordable, and high-quality food in a traditional Italian setting. Please come and eat here; you won't regret it. On our last night, we had dinner and shared time with Antonio, and he treated us like VIPs. I promise we'll be back.

Amazing experience. The owner is amazing. Food is incredible. Pasta vongole and pesto was perfect. So much better then eating average expensive food in main sorrento square. Got bread, caprese, pesto pasta, clam pasta, limoncello spritz (strong), large peroni for 38$ euros. He even gave us free limoncello shots after !! Amazing.

This restaurant have menu. The price now bigger , the Capri Menu was 23 euro. I like it , it was delicious. I didn’t like the pizza. It was not good ;(

Really big portion of food and tasty. The host Antonio is welcoming and treat us tiramisu and limoncello. Great price value too! Highly recommend

Had a fantastic time here last night with my girlfriend. Food was amazing! The chicken cutlet and gnocchi combo was great! For only €18 including a dessert, drink and limoncello shot, there’s no better place to dine here in Sorrento for the price! We’ll be going back tonight

Excellent food, a lot of variety, homemade, really tasty!!! Very good prices! Staff is awesome!

Amazing sunset view, atmosphere, service with delicious meals. Pricing reasonable for what you get, totally worth for a lifetime experience. We had the seared red mullet with stunning presentation, suckling pig and duck breast.

Amazing food, service and views which made it a very memorable meal. We were given quite a few complimentary courses which were all very tasty and beautifully presented. The sunset views were incredible and I would definitely recommend visiting for any special occasion. What made our visit here even more special was the exceptional service. Our server Andrew was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The staff were also super accommodating for any allergies. We enjoyed our meal so much that we went back a few nights later and were served by Tobia & Mario who were also fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Sorrento

Amazing sunset view. Food was good when we finally got it. We sat at our table for 45 minutes before ever getting a drink or taking our drink order. Three different waiters cane, but they had to get the bar waiter to take our cocktail orders. Then you have to pay for cocktails at bar and not on your food bill. Approached the manager about waiting forever just to take our drink order. He did not seem too concerned. 5 adults and 5 kids under 15. That set the tone for our last night in Sorrento.

Beautiful restaurant with stunning views of the bay. Service was excellent. Fresh tasty food and lovely cocktails. Live violinist the evening we were present.

Food and atmosphere was totally amazing!! Recommend for everyone who has a free evening to go there and eat fantastic dinner with this view 🥰Service was also on a high level, we got everything so fast and professional, I would love to come back soon !!

You need to make a reservation beforehand, we didn’t so we just spent some time in the bar and left but even that time was enough to understand the quality of the food, the music and the outstanding view 😻😻😻even when you order just a couple of cocktails in the bar they bring you a nice complimentary set.

WOW! This was a dining experience. Each course was wonderful. The gifts the chef sent to taste were thoughtful. We couldn’t stop smiling. This by far was our best evening of delightful everything. The view, the decor, the service, all on point! Truly a delight. The prices are reasonable with all the someone it comes with. It has now become something I can’t wait to return to. They went out of their way to make their guests feel like royalty. What a genuinely wonderful all around experience oh unique touches such as dessert served in a beautiful wooden antique box..Great flare and creativity put into so much. Oh, did I mention the fireworks! Rosie not guaranteed but so fantastic when they’re there. It was a perfect end to our meal. We then went to other side for cocktails and they were delicious and the bartender and staff were hilarious and engaging. It was a blast! The piano played and we all had a wonderful time.

The restaurant is literally located on the water on a floating dock. It is a no frills restaurant that does seafood right. My guess is everything we ate was swimming in the sea earlier in the day. We had fried calamari as an appetizer and it was perfectly cooked. Served with fries, which was a bit odd, but no biggie. We had cheese ravioli for Primi. Again, perfectly cooked with a nice light tomato ragu. For secondi we went with a special they offered us. It was a whole sea bass with broccoli and small potatoes. Light butter lemon dressing. Perfectly cooked and served tableside by the waiter who plucked it clean onto our plates with the traditional for and spoon technique. Complementary Limoncello at the end of the meal. Two rounds. Service was impeccable. So why not five stars? It was the bill. We were surprised by the price of the fish. It doesn't matter what it was. I would just ask the server if you are offered a special what is the cost. We have had great meals in Sorrento for about 25% less. This was not fine dining. We were careless and got burned. Note: The map picture. Red pin for restaurant and blue dot for our table. It was still a wonderful night, and yes, we would absolutely go back.

Staff were really friendly and we had a day of hiring the sun lounger for our last day in Sorrento before heading home. Had a bit of food and a few drinks. Food was pretty nice. Overall great vibes and atmosphere and a great place to chill out.

Bagni SantAnna is hands down one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. It has everything you could want in a beach day. One side has a great restaurant, and the other is full of super comfortable loungers with umbrellas where you can lay out and totally relax. The best part? They bring food and drinks right to you while you’re lounging, no need to move a muscle. The service is amazing, and everyone who works there is so friendly and hardworking. Alessandro, especially, is the sweetest. He made such an effort to get to know all of us and made every day feel special. I’m seriously going to miss him. The music is always great, the vibe is super laid-back, and the whole place just feels good. If I could go to Bagni SantAnna every day, I would. Already counting down the days until I can come back. ❤️Olivia

At first you’ll be approached by the owner Francos flamboyant energy which will have you questioning whether this restaurant is more show than tell. He welcomes you with lots of energy to a view from the pier that is incredible…. but from my experience, that combination is usually the perfect recipe for an overpriced restaurant that looks good but doesn’t satisfy the taste pallet. I will admit that my assumption was invalid. For once a restaurant has good looks and an incredible personality… This must be what love is. Ristorante Bagni Sant’Anna has the best pasta i have ever tried. I’ve tried a lot of pasta…. Ravioli and sea bass were incredible, appetizers did not disappoint but the Tagliolini Di Pasta Porcini (mushroom truffle pasta) BLEW ME AWAY. If you’re in Serrento, you have to try this place or you’ll be missing out on an incredible experience and an incredible meal!

It was an amazing experience. The staff was so friendly. Food was exceptional and the atmosphere was what makes it even better.

Location was amazing...right on the water. That was probably the only thing nice about the place. Food portions were small and taste was bland. My husband and I had the specials that were offered but they didn't disclose the price ahead of time and we were shocked when we got the bill. Very expensive. They also charged for an additional bread basket that we requested. You can't beat the sunset though, and that's what you are paying for. I'd go to a thousand other restaurant choices in Sorrento before trying this place. The hype on Instagram is not worth the lack of quality food and portion sizes.

We LOVED this restaurant. I ordered one of the specials which was a yellow tomato spaghetti with lobster. The lobster helping was incredibly generous and it was fresh out of the sea. For dessert we had the lemon mousse and limoncello. To die for! Best meal we’ve had in our week and a day in Italy. To top it off, the owner/manager (I’m not sure which role he had) was incredibly kind. Shook our hands upon arrival and he also kindly greeted us as we were leaving. The view is breathtaking too!

The service was truly excellent - special thanks to our waiter Alexander, who did a fantastic job and made us feel very well taken care of. The view was stunning, no doubt about that. But when it comes to the food… there are some questions. The dishes didn’t quite deliver the kind of flavor explosion one might hope for at this level. Some elements lacked clarity, and I didn’t notice any particularly bold or memorable choices in the menu. I wouldn’t call the food outstanding - rather, it was a good dinner, but not a wow experience. When we choose a Michelin-starred restaurant, we expect not only refined technique and beautiful plating, but also a kind of emotional impact - something we can’t easily find in a regular dining experience. And in that sense, our expectations weren’t fully met.

From Miami to NY and all in between, this is the most artistic, well planned, extravagant meal I’ve ever had. -we went with the medium corse which was plenty -highly encourage you to eat slow, enjoy the flavors and truly get your pallet to find them -evening time was awesome -first few sets were my favorite because he played with simple taste like Cesar salad but did it Picasso style and packed a punch -reviews speak for itself Chef we greatly appreciate the honor of being able to spend our anniversary at your restaurant. We took a sealed menu and will open it on the next 15 years if our marriage. Thank you!

Wonderful tasting menu in the heart of Sorrento. Food was unique and presented well. Like most tasting menus, 1-2 courses were a bit less special, but the magical view compensates. I’d try and get a table overlooking the water, but even views from the back are special. Arrive 10 min early as it can be a bit of a challenge to find.

Impeccable service and tastes. It’s well worth all praises for both the chefs and the service staff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special night out. Ask the great servers for recommendations to match your tastes.

We had a magical evening with the team at Terrazza Bosquet. What’s stuck with me? The most was how the dishes captured the local influence— Fresh fish, silky produce, and fantastic Italian wine. Would highly recommend.

Service was excellent, atmosphere was fabulous, food presentation excellent but….. food was tasteless. Not Michelin star quality. Michelin, double check this place.

This was our highlight dinner of our honeymoon. The service, ambience, views, and food were outstanding. I highly recommend to all that want to have a memorable dinner setting.

We went to Semola two days in a row because the pasta was just incredible - full of flavor and clearly made with love. Each dish we tried was delicious, and we were excited to explore more from their menu. The customer service was also amazing, warm, friendly, and personal. We even got great tips on what to see around Sorrento and had some lovely conversations. Truly a fantastic spot, highly recommended to anyone visiting!

Was a bit of a wait for a table at peak time, but was certainly worth it. Some of the best pasta we've had in Sorrento. Lots of options for both meat eaters and veggies. Would definitely come back again.

We had such a great experience at Semola Pasta Bar Ristorante in Sorrento that it definitely deserves a full 5 stars! From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming and easy-going. The staff was not only professional but also genuinely friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food was the real highlight – every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The pasta was cooked perfectly, with just the right texture, and the sauces were rich and balanced without being too heavy. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. We also noticed that the menu had a nice variety, so there’s something for everyone, whether you like traditional classics or want to try something a little different. We arrived at around 12:00 and were actually the only ones there at first, which was really nice because it gave us time to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Not long after, the restaurant started to fill up quickly, and we could see why – it’s obviously a popular spot with both tourists and locals. The vibe stayed fun and relaxed even when it got busier, which says a lot about how well the place is run. All in all, this is a fantastic place to enjoy great pasta in Sorrento. Between the tasty food, the excellent service, and the lively yet comfortable atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended – we’ll might be back next time!

The food here was absolutely outstanding. The gambero fasciato da capello d’angelo and the spaghettone alla Nerano were both divine — rich, vibrant flavours with pasta cooked to the perfect bite. Easily some of the best dishes we had on our trip. Grab a table outdoors if you can, the ambiance adds to the charm. Service was a little hit and miss (we had to flag staff for attention and never received the promised limoncello per their website), but the food more than made up for it. A fantastic spot for a casual dinner or a date night, with prices that are surprisingly reasonable given the touristy setting.

This place had a killer pasta dish - one of the very best I ever had! We had reserved a table for three via Google. It went very smooth - we skipped the line when the waiter asked if anyone gad reservations. You order wine by the bottle, the cheapest is around 19 euros (september 2025) and it goes up from there. Our bruschetta was so colourful and vibrant, perfect for sharing. My two fellow diners ordered carbonara, and although their pasta was cooked to perfection, the dish as a whole wasn't anything extraordinary. I ordered amatriciana - it was our best pasta we had on our trip so far. The rest of the party were digging into my dish, it was spectacular. Would highly recommend!

Broad range of pasta options. All of our choices were excellent. Amatriciana & Bolognese. Friendly and welcoming service, extra bread provided for our Scarpetta entree. Great value.

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Italy and this was by far my favourite pasta spot and the best pasta I’ve ever had! Pasta is homemade and delicious and I spent the rest of the trip trying to find another pasta dish like the carbonara I had here. Highly recommended if you’re in Sorrento.

We visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from our B&B owner, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and soft-spoken, making the experience even more enjoyable. We ordered a pizza, which was perfectly baked, and the gnocchi—rich and creamy with a flavorful pesto sauce and a delightful crunch from the walnuts. A wonderful dining experience overall!

Amazing restaurant! The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, we dined here two nights in a row because we were so happy with this place and on the second night we were given a free desert! Food was delicious and tasted very fresh. Service was fast and we were catered to extremely well. The interior is beautiful with lovely colourful design and great art on the walls. Fantastic experience, highly recommend!

The food was very fresh and delicious. We had the chicken with citrus. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The mixed salad was very crisp and fresh. Lots of bread. Tuna tartare was very fresh and good. Service was very fast. We did not love the American music blasting but other than that it was great.

I had a special deep fried pizza with pesto and burrata , shame for the quality of pesto. Other than that I can recommend this place for a good pizza in the centre of Sorrento.

A quick stop after a busy day seeing the ruins of Pompeii. We ordered Diavolo pizza and it was probably the best Pizza we ever had! In fact we're going back the next night for our last dinner before heading back to the UK. Thoroughly recommend and the staff are lovely!

I don't normally comment, but I couldn't resist sharing my opinion about this place. As a pizza chef for a couple of years and a pizza addict, I can say that the most mouth-watering pizza I have ever eaten in my life was from this shop. I don’t think I can compare any other pizza to the one I had here—I even ate two pizzas for dinner.❤️‍🔥

The BEST pizza in Italy! We had the most delightful night and amazing food! Geanluca was the best server we could have asked for and made our time even better! Our driver & Airbnb host both recommended this place and we see why now! So good!

Stopped by That’s Panaro because it’s in a super convenient spot near the bus and train stations. But honestly, the food was not great. What you get looks nothing like the pictures—totally different and kind of disappointing. Price doesnt match of what you expect. A little high price for a panini but Ingredients seemed low quality, and the service wasn’t much better. Definitely not what I expected. Hope to consider as a critical constructive.

I walked by to go to another store and I seen the pasta on the table outside and I swerved in to order it! I was so happy I did! Service is amazing these girls don’t even know how special they are. They made my trip so amazing just by their smiles! The food IS SO GOOD! I drool thinking about the pasta I ordered it 3 times. I needed more before I left I wish I did! Don’t miss out on this place when you come to sorrento!

Great value for money on freshly prepared warm sandwiches. Highly recommend the ciambotta panini.

We stopped in on our day trip to Sorrento. Great choice of street food. I had the bruschetta with tomato and pesto. Absolutely stunning food. The server was patient with my lack of Italian language and didn’t seem to mind tourists visiting. Would definitely recommend if you are in Sorrento.

Second year in a row visiting fast gourmet. Hands down the best gnocchi in Sorrento. We've compared a lot. This one is phenomenal and I think it is to do the basil pesto they place on top. The focaccia bread with prosciutto and fig is amazing! Do not pass this place up!

Me and my mom stopped here for a quick lunch before heading to Pompeii. Very close to the train station and super cute terrace. We both had the octopus panini and it was incredible! Very tasty and fresh. The staff were attentive and nice and we had a really lovely time here overall. Totally reccomend.

Gluten free bread available for sandwiches either on the go or to sit in. Extra €1 on the menu prices to make it gluten free. I was advised that they do their best to avoid any cross contamination. Panini caprese was tasty and fresh!
