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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
We arrived in Sorrento late in the day and were looking for a nice casual dinner. Da Gigino is located right off the main pedestrian street and had just the vibe we were looking for. We liked this place so much, we even came back the next night. Pizza and pasta with Chianti were our cravings and both were delicious! The crust of the pizza reminded me of focaccia and I loved it! Service was very friendly and the location is right in the middle of this beautiful town! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Helpers know their stuff! The rating I'd accurate. Fabuloso service. Prices are reasonable and in line with other establishments. Artichokes were young, tender, and fresh as a side dish. Pasta, of course was quite good, just tossed in enough sauce. OM Gosh, the insalata di mare had generous portions of clams, mussels, shrimp, octopus, and calamari. All of it was so tender. No rubbery texture! Veal with the lemon sauce was well -balanced. I chose to mix in the artichokes and buttered spinach in with the veal sauce. Yummy! My friends had the roasted chicken with baby roasted potatoes. Very simply prepared and so flavorful. Ok....gotta go walk this off in the bustling streets of Sorrento. Ciao! read more

This place was great! We loved the fried calamari. Our main dishes of the monk fish ravioli and the lasagna were delicious! The pasta bolognese was okay (probably wouldn't suggest this, on the boring side). The mixed seafood appetizer was good. Best dinner in Sorrento! read more

We were looking for a seafood place close by and this place come up! They had a lot of pictures of the seafood risotto so decided that's a must have. I wish the risotto was a little softer, it felt a little hard. The seafood was fresh and the sauce was great. Overall a good seafood dish. Pizza was yum! It was super cheesy. Sitting outside in a tiny windy street was the perfect ambience. Overall, cute place ! read more

Food was pretty good, but nothing super special. At around 6:15 pm, there were a good number of people in the restaurant already. The menu isn't too long but has pizza, pasta, meat, fish, salad. I got prosciutto and mozzarella, and a spinach side. The dish comes with a lot of cheese:) the prosciutto has a nice flavor that's not overwhelming salty! The spinach was pretty disappointing-undersalted and overlooked. The pizzas seem pretty good, but very salty. read more
