These sandwiches were so insanely good I can't recommend trying this place enough. Would go back for lunch anytime we visit Sorrento! They have a ton of sandwhich combinations and they were sooo flavorful and fresh ingredients. A must go to place with friendly staff. Will definitely be back!
If you're a tourist looking for an amazing sandwich, go to A'Marenna. No hesitation. If you're a local and in need of a good sandwich, go to A'Marenna. No hesitation. Their sandwiches are on another level, like sinking your teeth into heaven. Every single bite somehow delivers the perfect balance of each ingredient, and the pizza bread is toasted to absolute perfection: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. I don't say this lightly... it's quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten. The spot itself is quaint, tucked into one of the many charming alleyways of Sorrento, and if you're lucky, snag one of the few bar-height seats along the wall to enjoy the ambiance and full experience. If I lived in Sorrento, I'd be a regular without question. The black truffle pate...the sun-dried tomatoes...puglia baratta... And the owners? Next level. Genuinely appreciative of every compliment, which somehow makes the whole experience taste even better.
I had a great speck (prosciutto) and truffle pate panini sandwich here while staying in Sorrento. They have a lot of sandwich options, both meat heavy and vegan, plus salads. The servers are very upbeat. You'd be best to order takeout but they do have some seats outside. Be prepared to be wowed.
The line was long but the food, experience and lovely ladies singing and making the food was worth every bit of the wait. As a non sandwich aficionado I would partake in a sandwich here daily! Enjoy the people watching and the journey.
We are regulars when it comes to visiting Sorrento. We try to come at least once a year and stay a week. During our visits we visit many new (to us) restaurants, primarily because all the restaurants are pretty good. Today we tried A'Marenna. It is primarily a sandwich shop in a heavily traveled tourist area. When we arrived there was a good line that went just out the door. We got in the line and waited in the cramped little shop. There were only two young women working behind the counter. One did all the orders and deliveries to customers waiting outside. The sandwich maker was one of the hardest workers I have ever seen. Occasionally she would pick up a microphone and start singing an Italian rock song while the Italians in the place joined in. I'd rather she focused on making sandwiches instead of singing, but it was fun and she had such a positive attitude you could only smile and enjoy. Now, to the menu. They serve a variety of sandwiches: some simple, some exotic. Being an Elite reviewer I asked several people who were eating outside what they thought of their sandwich? I got 100% rave reviews. I had the smallest and probably the most conservative: prosciutto and mozzarella on a ciabatta bun. My wife had the save thing but with regular ham. Both sandwiches were great and both had an ample amount of meat. The mozzarella was very mild and chewy. You can't get this stuff in the U.S. We are here for the week and we will definitely go again. Be aware, there is very limited seating. We were staying two blocks away so we just took them to our Airbnb. I'd suggest walking downhill to the park by the elevator to eat. Bottom line, don't miss this little shop.
If you have the opportunity, grabbing a sandwich from A'Marena is a must. The wait is long but the sandwich and singing make it a worthwhile stop. The bread is delicious and all the ingredients are fresh. For me, the prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and black truffle pâté was the winner! My pictures captured the experience.
Stopped by to get some lunch and there was a line. Once we ordered, they said it would be about 40 minutes to get our food, so we got our ticket and walked around Sorrento for a bit. Once we got back, it still took a little longer than that - probably at least another 15+ minutes. There are only 2 ladies working, so the wait is understandable. Once we got our sandwiches, it was absolutely worth the wait! These were some of the best sandwiches we've ever had. We got the Leonardo and Filumen. The Leonardo had a mortadella and stracciatella combo that was creamy and savory combined with a little heat and bursting with flavors from the onions and pistachio cream. The Filumen was a stronger flavored sandwich - smoky from the smoked cheese and speck and intense flavor from sundried tomatoes and truffle pate. We got the panuozzo size - a flatter panini bread - which was nicely toasted and crispy. Wish we had time to try more of these! Vegetarian and vegan options available, so there's something for everyone.
This restaurant came recommended by Elio our private driver for the Amalfi coast. The restaurant closes at 8pm so we missed it the first night and had to go back the next day and we are so glad we did. We had the Michel #8 panini sandwich and it was delicious. Full of flavor. Delicious in every way and perfect crunch for the sandwich. Shared it with my daughter however I wish I would have had the whole sandwich to myself. Can't wait to go back and try a new sandwich.
Sandwiches were complex, balanced, and extraordinarily tasty! Would recommend ordering online however as it took quite a while for our food. Not the worst place in the world to explore while you wait, though.

The line to order a sandwich was ridiculous alone, but to order the sandwich pay for the sandwich and then wait another 30 minutes for the sandwich. That was cuckoo. However, when in Sorrento... The sandwich was OK. The sandwich was OK read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant is small and can be loud because its so small. We ate outside which was fine. The service was fast and friendly. We did not have to wait very long to order and receive our food. The location of the restaurant is down a side alley but highly recommend stopping by for an amazing panini. The food was a great value for the money and would absolutely return. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and was seriously impressed! The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. You can tell they put care into what they serve. Definitely coming back! read more
The best vegan sandwich in all of Italy. Served on a panini type bread we devoured a "Luisell and Rafel" on a holiday afternoon. The service was outstanding as the owners worked to keep everyone happy in a very small space. Loved our lunch and would stop in Sorrento anytime just for another sandwich here! read more

This was yum The owners are so so sweet and helpful. The sandwich was good with high quality ingredients. I will say I do think it was a bit pricey considering it is, in the end, a sandwich- I think it's definitely geared toward tourists. Worth checking out- but I would also try to check out less touristy places too read more
The hype is real with this place! These two ladies run the place and it's SUCH a vibe. They're singing and having a great time making your sandwiches. There's a big line outside but honestly, just vibe and enjoy their playlist. The sandwiches are fire--def worth the hype. You don't wanna miss trying this place read more

I enjoyed A Marenna, but be prepared to wait. The ladies who run the shop work their tails off and keep things moving as quickly as they can. We ordered a number 10 with mushrooms, not eggplant) and hubby got the number 1. The bread is perfection and the flavors are outstanding. (We were told it would be a 25 minute wait, and it was about an hour) So, order and plan on walking around a bit. read more

This place was on our bucket list for our Sorrento visit. It is definitely a must try. The sandwiches were delicious, the bread was flat and crispy. Both Roset and Concett was super yumm vegetarian sandwiches. Concett had a little spice to it, which I loved. Luisell was Vegan and while relatively less yumm than the others, it was still pretty good. We got lucky and didn't find much line to order. However, in few minutes, the line got longer. When we went, their machine was not working, so had to pay in cash. It's a small place, There are only a few seats inside and couple of tables outside. read more

Great hot sandwiches, but not many places to sit and eat. Most take to-go. Highly recommend sharing one sandwich if you choose the bread that starts with a P. Not the ciabatta. The sandwich is huge. Bread pictured here. read more

SIMPLY THE BEST! My husband and I were greeted with smiles and excellent recommendations. I ordered the salmon salad, and my husband ordered the #2, and let me tell you, it was delicious! We waited about 10 minutes, but the cute little shops kept us busy. Thanks, ladies. See you in California! read more
