He not only gave us a recommendation, he had his friend with whom he was speaking personally walk us a few blocks to the restaurant rather than just give us directions... How nice/friendly was that!!! Boy was it a great restaurant, friendly service by the owner, comfortable ambiance, reasonably priced and a huge menu. Our party of five feasted on a beautifully cooked tender steak, Seafood Pasta that had fresh muscles and clams with perfectly al-denta linquini, an awesome cheese board with delicious cheeses & olives, a Sausage Pasta dish (can't remember the name of the pasta cut) that was out of this world tasty. The fresh bread and fried dough balls (can't remember the official Italian name for these) that were complimentary served upon our arrival were in one word...AMAZING. We truly enjoyed this delicious Italian food...a huge thank you to that shop owner for this outstanding recommendation.

I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I insist anyone coming through Pompeii visit.

The first…read morenight out we went into Sorrento, and had enjoyable pizza by the meter but then a series of meals that were just embarrassments. The food on the coast can be terrible if you go into the wrong spot, expensive and done for looks rather that flavor. We found places that were unforgettably bad and had almost written off the quality of the food on the coast, as it seemed to cater to tourists who wanted to eat beautiful crap. Thankfully, on our last night we came to Sapori di Mare. First, they have a parking lot a short walk from the restaurant. The food was not designed to look like the instagram pics that attract American tourists, but WOW it was really good. We had three courses and the simplest spaghetti pomodoro was just fantastic. It was the best pasta I've had in Italy so far. The pizza was delicious, and the best limoncello we've had on the coast. Not to mention that you get the same breathtaking sunset view (if you get there by 7:45-8:00) that the "fine dining" restaurants offer. Three courses, dessert for $77 euro. We agreed if we had found this place on night one we would have come back. Fantastic!!! Oh, and Victorio is one hell of a waiter, managed the whole dining room practically by himself. Bravo!

In this fashion, we were lured into this establishment by the owner while walking through the silent street on a gloomy afternoon. The open, airy space is pleasant and unpretentious. The welcome by waiters was more comparable to a greeting that a host would provide for guests into their own house. Being presented with a wide spanning menu felt completely unnecessary, as within moments of sitting down, the chef came out of the kitchen to greet and tell about the house specialties. The middle aged Italian man was dressed very cleanly and despite little knowledge of English, provided a better recommendation than one could ever desire from yelp or from the menu itself, which still laid untouched on the table. The prosciutto bruschetta was bursting with flavor of fresh, ripe tomatoes that gave off the sweetness of a cherry, the fullness of sun ripening and the flavor that can only be experienced in a dream. The paccheri pasta looked as beautiful as it tasted, in a pleasant green color and the flavor profile that one can only experience in select establishments. Amusingly from the name, the Carlo Alberto pizza was the least favorite of the dishes had here, but was very interesting. If coming through to visit Pompeii, do not miss this establishment.
