Grilled lamb with thyme

The food was fresh and delicious. We got pizzas, the octopus salad, the grilled lamb with thyme, a calzone, seafood risotto and the grilled bass and the gnocchi. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was first class. This is a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed.

Margherita pizza!
Sona K.

After disappointing pizza at Da Franco, we came here for a napoletan pizza. And I can happily say that my stomach is happy and satisfied! Pasta-homemade pasta with seafood was ok that I would not recommend.. the texture of pasta was too al dente.. regular spaghetti noodle may be better. So glad to have napoletan pizza before heading homem

Impepata di cozze
Oriana S.

This was one of the best meals we had while in Italy. The place is small but cozy with inside and outside seating area. We decided to eat here as the place was packed with locals and best decision by far! We ordered the impepata do cozze, prosciutto and mozzarella and two gnocchi verse with provolone sauce and shrimp. The impepata was fresh and big with lots of mussels! The prosciutto and mozzarella were delicious! The mozzarella was soon good! Super fresh! And the bread basket was also super good! The gnocchi were one of the best I ever had! Freshly made and the provolone sauce..uff so freaky good!!! The service was on point too. If you are in Sorrento, check out this place!

Lamb and Potatoes
LeAndre A.

This place was recommended by a friend of a friend. I had the lamb shop dish. It was really good. It was nice to eat something different from pasta and pizza. The waiter was very courteous. The restaurant is more of a casual place. It's a nice chill spot to pick up some good food.

The outside seating

We had lunch at Da Gigino when we were in Sorrento. The service was good, and we were very welcomed. The food was average. I can say it was one of the best meals we had in Sorrento, but it was good. We had the lunch gnocchi and it was good, but a bit too much sauce, so it felt a bit soupy. The pasta itself was very good. The street seating was great to watch people

All the food we tried was amazing!! The service was great and the entire staff was friendly. I will definitely be back when I'm in town

100% cotton napkins, it begins very positive. The place was very crowded downstairs. Apparently there was a second floor with 12-16 tables. It quickly got filled by the time we were eating our second course. Great food, nice demure service, with nice ambiance. We ate seafood with pasta. Very tasty.

Shrimp salad with mounds of shaved cheese
Christina S.

Make a reservation and go here. One of the more authentic restaurants in Sorrento. First came here for dinner. Appetizer of tuna and eggplant tartare with cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella - delicious and light. Fresh big tube pasta with monkfish and a light tomato garlic sauce - oh my god this was so delicious, we practically licked the bowl. The pasta was perfectly cooked and so fresh. Fish with garlic tomato sauce was so delicious and fresh with crispy bread for dipping. Came back for lunch two days later because we were trying to find authentic pizza. Having enjoyed dinner the night before, we knew it would be good. Arugula salad with shrimp and tomato was light and fresh. Mounds of shredded parmigiana Reggiano cheese on top - yum! Shared a frutta di mare pizza. It was crispy and thin, perfectly seasoned. Delicious red sauce and not too heavy. The fish was perfectly cooked. This is real Italian food. Having had two meals here, this is a must do if you are looking for a causal and fresh meal. *This review was part of a 10-day eating binge, I mean vacation with my mother. The summary here reflects both of our opinions*

Second dinner in Italy and first dinner outside of Rome. After carefully searching through Yelp, I decided to come to this restaurant based on its rating, reviews, and photos. Almost every dish was fantastic. Well, all except desserts. Wanted to come back again, but had to try other places first. 5/5 seafood risotto - hands down, best risotto I have ever tasted. Shrimp, mussels, and clams. The rice was so flavorful that I wanted to cry. Really thought about ordering another plate of it to go. If you could only order one item, this would be it. If I come back to Sorrento again, I'd come back to this restaurant for this! 4.5/5 spaghetti with seafood - clams and mussels. This was amazing, but overshadowed by the risotto. 4.5/5 fried calamari - pretty good calamari. Just the right amount of batter and the squid was not hard. 4/5 Grilled fish (sea bass) - not a bad dish, but really didn't stand out compared to the aforementioned dishes. 3.5/5 lemon cake - the lemon flavor was present, but overall was just an okay cake. 3/5 tiramisu - my first time trying this in Italy. I really wanted to like it. I make a pretty awesome tiramisu myself so this was a letdown. Alcohol was a bit overpowering and parts of the cake were too wet. Perhaps this is how tiramisu is in Italy? No, it can't be! I'm sure there are better ones. It did have chocolate chips in the middle. Hmm, perhaps I should add that to mine next time.

Spaghetti alla Vongola & lasagna

Friendly service and delicious food!! We had lasagna and spaghetti vongele plus grilled local fish - all very tasty. I really liked the Lasagna. Service was good and pleasant. Definitely would recommend this restaurant. Price is reasonable.

Prawn and zucchini risotto. Beautifully creamy and shrimpy.
Steve C.

My Fiance and I ate here twice during our stay in Sorrento; once was for dinner and the second time for a quick lunch. Dinner service was good the first night, very crowded but we were seated in a timely fashion and the service reflected the amount of full tables. Restaurants in Italy can sometimes be a little light on wait staff during peak meal rushes so sometimes you will have to wait just a little longer. Together we got a calamari, prawn risotto and the beef tenderloin. Neither of us really cared for the calamari, however the risotto was very good and the beef was a dream. We got a liter of both of the red and white house wines... the liter pours were closer to 1.25 liter each and we ended up sharing with a nearby table as there was more wine then we could drink. Both were right in line with quality Italian table wines. Our following visit we had pizzas. Both were sizable, fairly priced and very fresh. My only complaint was both pies were pretty soggy in the middle, possibly from an overload of fresh mozzarella (which is a blessing and a curse at the same time). Overall a solid 4 stars.

Delicious house  with the margarita
Shabnam R.

We liked this restaurant so much we ate here twice on our trip to Italy. The service was great and the food very delicious. The margarita pizza was excellent, we ordered it both nights. I also ordered the seafood pasta dish the first night and the risotto seafood dish the second. While both dishes were great, the risotto was my favorite.

Spaghetti al Frutti do Mare (spaghetti with mixed seafood) - €12
Eileen O.

On my last night in Sorrento, I have been craving seafood and of course, being in Italy, I had to have some pasta. After doing a bit of digging online, Da Gigino had some pretty decent reviews and I had to check this place out myself! It was a busy Sunday evening and I waited for about 15 minutes before being seated. I ordered the Spaghetti al Frutti di Mare (spaghetti with mixed seafood) and a bottle of sparkling water. The pasta was pipping hot, but it was well worth it! The seafood was fresh and cooked with the perfect amount of time. I am so happy my last meal in Italy was just as I have imagined!

Booked via the Fork for ease and while it may seem like a more tourist-y spot (in the sense that…read morethe leads are always inviting folks walking by in to view the menu)...Naima is LEGIT. We wanted seafood because when in Sorrento...why not opt for super fresh seafood right by the coast?! Our server recommended a really delicious local red that was super reasonably priced and we enjoyed with said red: For Primi -- *Gnocchi alla sorrentina (Sorrento-style Gnocchi): I mean...we kinda had to get a regional specialty right? Gnocchi here is potato based instead. It was SO delicious - still perfect texture. They also served this HOT HOT HOT with melty cheese. So delicious and a really generous portion!! *Spaghettoni alle vongole (Pasta with Clams): Another favorite for us in general so figured a really fresh version could be stellar and it didn't disappoint! This slightly edged out the gnocchi for me flavor-wise, but the gnocchi was dang good so it just goes to show how DELISH this was!!! For Secondi -- *Grigliata mista di pesce (mixed grilled fish - this was an incredible plate of such fresh seafood. There was various fish, a giant prawn, octopus alll grilled & seasoned to perfection! *Swordfish special! -- apparently it was swordfish season and it was a 'fresh catch' and I feel like you could tell! Really lovely and nicely seasoned. Portions were very generous & we were way too full for dessert at this point! So you could probably eat more "American" style here (Just 1 entree instead of our approach), but the menu here is pretty stellar!!!

Saw Naima on Yelp and figured it was worth a shot. Restaurant is modern, with bright decor. Waiter…read morewas working hard! He also helped with recommendations. I had been bit by a crab a number of times at Amalfi earlier in the day. I decided to return the favor and had the excellent crab with squid ink pasta. I will say that the crab was a lot of work, it was also a delicious crab. The squid ink pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Added a second course of a local fish with cherry tomatoes, also delicious. Family enjoyed their dinner as well.

After some not so great recommendations from our hotel last few days, I decided to trust my Yelp…read morefriend's reviews and picked this place. Thankfully I did that & we were all pleasantly impressed! Everything was perfection from start to finish. Exceptional service, food & presentation & ambience . If you're visiting Sorrento, Italy you must stop by here!

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!)

We popped in after a long train ride. We ate inside, and enjoyed reading the reviews graffitied all…read moreover the walls. The food was incredible. To start, we had burrata, bruschetta and mixed salad. All were good. The salad was fresh and crunchy (with lettuce, fennel, radicchio, carrot in a light vinaigrette). The sun-dried tomato bruschetta was delicious (with soft cheese, drizzled with honey). The burrata was also amazing (tomatoes tossed in police oil and salt, surrounding a fresh creamy burrata). We had pastas (gnocchi and ravioli fungi) and chicken. I had the ravioli, which was delicate and scrumptious. Everyone enjoyed their meals, though the chicken was very simple. Finally the service! We were greeted with warmth and the service right through was perfect. Thank you!

Everything was incredible! We started with the bruschetta and eggplant Parmesan, both were amazing…read morebut I can see why their eggplant parm is one of the most popular/best dishes. Every bite was AMAZING. The servers and staff that we came in contact with were wonderful and attentive. The place itself is nicely decorated, and has a very clean bathroom. I like how staff stays by the door to welcome people in, but they don't badger people on the sidewalk to come in like other places. We're thinking of going back even though we only have a night or two left in Sorrento, it was just that good!
