    Dessert
    Cat N.

    I loved the experience here After some debating of where to have dinner, I was glad we decided to come here. I and 4 other girls came for a late dinner and there was no wait. We went with the following its description: Prosciutto, Melon and Mozzarella starter- Everything tasted delicious. The melon was very sweet and the mozzarella was super soft here. It was an excellent starter. Tuna Tartare- It was beautifully presented with strawberries. It was very pretty but a dish not worth mentioning. This dish can be skipped. Flori Di Zucca Ripleni- This is zucchini stuffed with ricotta cheese thats been lightly fried. It was so good we had to make another order. I like that it wasn't heavily fried and it was presented beautifully. Probably the best thing I had in Sorrento. Lobster spaghetti- We got a whole lobster cut in half still with shell in our light red sauce spaghetti. This is a must if you love lobster and pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the lobster was amazing. The sauce was also very good. The portion was very large as well. Stuffed Eggplant- This was stuffed with meat and drenched with sauce. It was very flavorful. Dessert of the Day- On the day we came it was a chocolate cake topped with some whip cream and berries, and a tart sauce. It was very delightful. We also ended the night with some limoncellos. I think they gave us each a double shot of it because it was more than enough. The pricing here is very good and reasonable. The quality of food is all fresh and made perfectly with beautifully plated. The service was more than perfect. The elder gentleman waiting on us was very respectful and made sure us ladies were well taken care of. He was also very funny. We got a little loud since there was alcohol involved but the staff was very nice and even joked with us. The inside is small but most of seating is outside. It's in the central part of town and you can people watch as you eat. Seating was comfortable and overall it was a wonderful experience and I would love to come back.

    #4 of 50 types of pizza. Prosciutto, mushrooms, ricotto and Parmigianno regianno cheese

    I was originally going to give this place 4 stars because we were given a small table. Then our waiter Giuseppe found out my name was Joe and he gave us chilled limoncella. Eccezionale (outstanding)! We started off w/ the pizza in the pic. It was delicious. The crust had ricotta inside (and I thought Pizza Hut started that $hit!-LMFAO). For our entrees we had seafood papardelle (don't pronounce the "e" as I was told) and grilled shrimp. Sorprendente (amazing!). The shrimp were sweet and w/ the heads on. Being Asian and having grown up in Hawaii, like my sig says, I will eat anything even if its moving. The heads were delizioso! The papardelle had some langosta w/ claws that were great too. I love seafood! The place was cool even though a couple of atypical "stupid" (ignorant) Americans were sitting behind us. First of all, they asked for ghiacco (ice) w/ their wine and then they wanted thousand island for their salads. WTF! Did they think they were at Dennys!-LOL. They didn't even learn a few Italian phrases. I know a little Italian (I am fluent in Spanish and Hawaiian, but I barely speak English-LMAO), but least I tried. These two are probably the butt of jokes for Italian comedians!

    Ceviche

    Glad we chose this for our lunch in Sorrento during a day trip. It faces the piazza so it's great for people-watching, and the food is delicious and fairly reasonable price wise. I had the rabbit and also tried the pumpkin soup, ceviche with rocket salad, BLT panino and veal with grilled veggies. My rabbit was prepared in lemon sauce, which I love, and was very juicy. It was served with a tasty purple grain (can't recall the name right now) and mixed salad. I also liked the ceviche a lot, and the pumpkin soup was creamy and, well, pumpkin-y. The BLT was good but pretty basic - more or less like you'd get in the US. I didn't think the veal was good - it seemed dry. All in all a great meal, though!

    lobster pasta
    Ricky Q.

    Great food in Sorrento!!! We had the Lobster pasta and some pizza. The lobster was very fresh and was a nice treat for a rainy day. The pizza we ordered was a fantastic surprise because there was cheese oozing out of the crust! We went during off-season, and a lot of restaurants were closed. I'm glad this one was open! Seemed to be on the pricier side, but still wasn't bad.

    Caprese salad and pizza with prosciutto, roasted peppers and roasted tomatoes
    Kristin O.

    We came here on a Saturday night the first night we came into Sorrento. The restaurant has been open for 50 years and there is a good reason! There are so many varieties of pizza to choose from. My fiance and I split a bottle of wine the server recommended that was local to the area as well as a pizza that had proscutto, roasted peppers and tomatoes. It was delicious! We also had a caprese salad that was so fresh. Overall great experience

    Real good food, great service. Loved the fish dish's plus the guys ordered different stuff but loved it. Antonio our server. Just a great guy.

    Pasta carbonara with a little red wine.
    David M.

    We had a short time to shop and grab lunch when our tour stopped in town before heading to Pompeii. We ordered some pizzas for the kids which came out quickly and were very good. The prosciutto and melon was incredible. The melon was so sweet and fresh is was like dessert. I also had pasta carbonara which was quite good and used mushrooms instead of peas. The staff made an excellent effort to get us served and on our way to meet our bus on time. Our only regret was not having time to sit out and enjoy more of a leisurely pace on patio.

    Desert!

    The meal was so affordable! We ordered two pizzas, an appetizer, and water/soft drinks for 3…read morepeople, and everything came out to €39. I shared a marinara pizza with my mom and it was delicious! It was made well, the crust cooked nicely and the sauce was perfect. It's a simple dish with just tomato sauce, herbs, and a few cloves of garlic. This style of pizza is one of the few Vegan food options in the area. Service was fine, and the sitting area was comfortable enough, though it could be cleaner. The tables were in a covered patio and we had to switch tables because they originally tried to sit us where one of the seats had bird mess, which was just gross. And switched out cups because they were quite dirty.

    We stayed in Airbnb, Sant'Agnello that was near to this restaurant. After completing the…read moreAmalfi-Positano-Atrani tour, we were tired. We got freshen up and was looking for good food. After googling, we found this. Though it was 9 PM only, the street was not busy much. But this restaurant was bubbling. We got the table but the service was slow and laidback. No issues, we were not in a rush. The server came and We ordered Ravioli Caprese (Cheese Ravioli), Pesce Spada (Type of fish, which was grilled) and local beer (Birra Peroni 66). The food was really good especially my fish. That fresh taste, my wife also likes her Ravioli. After tiring day, getting delicious food -can't explain the feeling and that too with beer. The ambiance was okay, but the food was really good. The waiters speak quite good English and local Peroni is on Draught! And as usual for every European restaurant, they charged cover charge too ( you call it tip, they call it cover charge)

Thankfully I did that & we were all pleasantly impressed! Everything was perfection from start to finish. Exceptional service, food & presentation & ambience .

    Blink and you'd miss it from the street... you walk in (assuming it's a pizzeria) but nope - it's a…read more'fancy place' that you wished you dressed better for. Since this is a tourist town - all the guests kept it casual while the fleet of workers were well-dressed and constantly 'making the rounds' for refills, food, clearing empty plates, you name it. Favorite quote came from the younger twin: "the potato caught me off guard!" - when discussing his lamb special's side, a single compressed potato that floored him. (He would mention this damn potato the rest of our vacation to anyone that would listen!) One quibble: giving us really whack (dull) knives for two dishes that most definitely needed a sharp/serrated blade. (And of course this was the one time none of the staff entered our orbit to ask/complain for something a bit more effective than a darn dessert knife.) Regardless: a (most) memorable dinner. Pro-tip: keep the young one's eyes away from the series of 'donkey' statutes when entering/exiting the front of the ristorante. (Unless you're ready to have 'the talk' with them while on vacation!)
