    Antipasto sorrentino
    Sarah B.

    Dang, food was just not good. Worst meal from our two weeks in Italy. We were so hungry so the bar was even low. Got the seafood pasta and the seafood was all overcooked but the noodles were undercooked, which I thought was kinda funny. The appetizer sampler was alright, but nothing special. Food took a while to arrive. Service was fine. Ambiance was fun because you can sit on the street and people watch! But wouldn't recommend with so many seemingly great options around.

    Not sure why it is, but the server was a complete douche. There was no greeting. Just took my order and left me there. Wanted to order a coffee when I was done and he never showed back up. I had to hunt him down to pay. It was almost like he was fed up with serving foreigners. Total attitude. But the pizza was great!

    Salmon puttanesca
    Jourdan D.

    I stumbled upon this place while strolling thru Sorrento and we decided to have dinner. This place was so delicious! I have thought about my dinner there ever since! We all ordered seafood dishes and they were so flavorful and fresh! I had what I think was a salmon puttanesca and it was one of my most favorite things I tried in Italy! It seems that many people go here for desert, but I think their entrees are splendid and worth the stroll out of the central city area. They had nice outdoor seating as well for when the sun falls and the evening brings the fresh breeze from the sea. I know I will be sure to visit again to enjoy some more of the frutti di mare on my next visit to Sorrento!

    Gnocchi Sorentina
    Shannon V.

    This place is a waste of time and a tourist trap. We arrived in Sorrento today and have had a beautiful experience until eating at this place. While we were seated right away, it was at least 10 minutes before someone came over to take our order. There was no greeting no hello nothing. I don't think our server even made eye contact with us. We ordered water and one beer. The waiter brought that without so much as a glance in our direction. We then Inalata Caprese for a shared appetizer. It was perhaps the most bland salad I have eaten. I lived four years in Italy and I know what good food taste like. This had no flavor at all. There was one basil leaf on a dinner size plate. The mozzarella was not di Buffala. It tasted processed and packaged and was hard. I ate one slice with a tomato and stopped. My husband ordered the.Gnocchi Sorrentina - which was overcooked and dry. The sauce was not fresh. It tasted like it came from a can. It looked good, but looks were deceiving. I was excited to finally get authentic carbonara in Italy. It has been quite some time since I experienced this first hand. I have yet to find a restaurant in the United States that can make this recipe correctly. I thought for sure I would find it in Italy. The dish came out way undercooked. The pasta was fine, but the carbonara was disgusting. The yolks were runny. Anyone who knows authentic carbonara knows this is not how it is made. Ge eggs and cheese unite with the hot pasta and water to make a sauce that softly clings to the spaghetti, I took about three bites and couldn't finish my meal. I actually cried at the table because I was so disappointed. I explained to my server in Italian that the eggs were undercooked and I was disappointed. He stood there and argued with me that I did not know anything about carbonara because this is how it is made. He had no compassion and zero interest in creating a positive experience for his clients. I didn't have the energy to discuss this with tears running down my face so I abruptly stopped talking. He snatched up my plate in anger and stomped off never to return to our table. we had to ask another waiter for our bill. Additionally, the bread was stale and hard and served in a paper bag versus serving it on a plate or in a basket. Additionally, I used the bathroom before we left and was dismayed to see there was no toilet seat in the ladies bathroom and the light went out in the middle of my using it. Furthermore, there were bloody tissues all over the floor; it was disgusting. If I can save anybody the trouble of eating at this place I hope my review does that. We had a lovely day and this experience for dinner ruined what could've been a perfect day. Avoid this place. It's a nasty tourist trap!

    delizia al limone e fritto calzone
    Joanna V.

    The great thing about this place is its variety. I'd call it a restaurant instead of a bar. They serve actual meals. They have a plentiful array of desserts. You can order coffee or liquor. They also have a chilled fridge of multiple brands of bottled water. Their purpose definitely caters to the needs of people passing through. What I found somewhat confusing though, is if you dine-in, you sit first and order; pay the cashier later. However, at other caffes you order, pay, and sit. Then again at some other caffes you order, sit, and pay the server. Regardless of that, the servers are really pleasant and the location is convenient. I recommend their delizia with caffe amaro, espresso, or cappuccino minus any sugar. They have fragola and limone. Have BOTH! I tried their salmon dinner which was prepared hot and crispy. They'll sure have my business again if I happen to be in the area.

    Best pizza since we've been here and this our ninth trip to Sorrento! ! Pizza plus full menu, and pastries made in heaven!!

    Cappuccino and nutella cappuccino

    Eek!! The lady behind the counter was coughing like crazy, and she wasn't wearing any gloves when she was serving the pastries...pretty offputting if you ask me. Other than that rather uncomfortable sight, this spot is a good to pick up a quick coffee, dessert, or sandwich. I stopped by for lunch once and had an okay pizza - nothing special but fine for a quick food run.

    Awesome place for an after dinner gelato, expresso and dessert
    Joe P.

    We had the small cannoli, napolini and a pistachio and strawberry cream dessert. Incredibile (unbelievable), and I am not a dessert person. The expresso was also very good. I have not had gelato since I have been in Italy, but I am definitely stopping by here after shopping.

    Friendly and attentive! Quick stop in before boarding the ferry to Capri. Calzone and breakfast treats were fresh. They warmed them for us and allowed us to sit and relax watching the locals chat. Staff is very respectful and sincerely looks like they enjoy their job! Great stop!
