Since it was so hot during our stay in Sorrento, we opted to sit inside. We were guided down a flight of stairs, which led to an elegant dining area that was once the 16th century wine cellar for a former monastery. There is also another flight of stairs that lead up to more seating, and the wine cellar. Once seated, we were handed the wine menu, which listed countless choices. Admitting we were in over our heads, a Sommelier, Geppino, was sent to our table. He was wonderful! Warm, friendly, helpful and extremely passionate about his role. He suggested a 2020 Chianti we thoroughly enjoyed, and which paired well with everything we ate. We were so taken with his hospitality and energy, that we took two bottles of wine home with us! My husband ordered the Raviolo for his first course, and the Beef for his second. I chose to hand my selections over to the chef, ordering the "In Our Hands" portion of the Scent of the Land. Everything that came out, was beyond fabulous. Even my husband, who is not a foodie, gave high praise. There was artistry in every presentation. Proteins were melt in your mouth tender and enveloped in savory sauces and tender pasta. Natural fats were beautifully balanced with subtle bits of acidity that left your palette satisfied yet craving for more. You could taste culinary expertise in every bite, with each plate being perfectly portioned. With each serving, it was obvious how much care the kitchen put into each dish. Service was on point, with staff constantly circling the restaurant, watching to see if anything was needed. They were friendly and engaging, and made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Il Buco served up some of the best food we have ever had. True craftmanship from beginning to end.

The atmosphere is gorgeous and a reason to visit in itself. We started with mozzarella and tomato, and some fried calamari. They give you about a pound of mozzarella, it was insane. It was the only time on my vacation that I felt uncomfortably full and had a stomach ache because we felt like we had to finish it, ha! The menu is absolutely huge which is definitely a red flag, and I even still, nothing was calling out to me. I ended up going with the lamb chops with a green salad and fried zucchini. The lamb tasted good but there was a lot of fat. The salad was literally just a bowl of iceberg lettuce with no other toppings and no dressing, and the fried zucchini never came. The server also didn't return to the table until we were done so I couldn't let him know. This is a huge restaurant with too much menu items making it hard for waiters to get to their tables in a timely manner, and even harder for the chefs to be able to put effort and care into every dish. I knew the reviews beforehand so I didn't have high expectations and therefore wasn't disappointed. If you want to visit for the ambiance and not the food, you should. Make sure you walk up to the lemon garden after dinner, it is beautiful.

I read quite a few reviews saying stuff like, oh the high ratings are because the food is so cheap. Yes, the food is inexpensive but it's home cooking. It was delicious. I went to a 1 star Michelin restaurant while in Sorrento and spent literally 1000 Euro for the two of us. I'm not saying that experience wasn't amazing, because it was, I would do it again. But I would abso-freaking-lutely come back to eat at this restaurant at about 100 Euro for 4 people, including cocktails and wine. the king prawn on the Scialatiello allo scoglio was so tender and delicious, I have nasty daydreams about it. I can't say that about the prawn dish I had at the starred restaurant. Now was everything a hit? No. I wasn't a fan of cold broccoli rabe on our starter and thought there would be more fried fish, but the elements on it were delicious, save the broccoli. Also, this place is a good time.
