    The pizza is just OK but does have a nice view from the patio which we all enjoyed very much and they were able to accommodate all eight of us and next-door they do have wine and coffee and snacks that you can grab the keep the house you rent

    Lobster pasta special

    We ate here our first night in Sorrento. They have a service that picks u up and drops u back off at your hotel. Good thing be aide it is all the way up in the mountains. Beautiful view. We were there at night but lunch or sunset dinner would be best. Although we did see fireworks in a distance. Tony the owner takes your oders gives u specials and reassures he is there for anything u need. Prices we extremely reasonable and food was very good. The lobster was cooked perfectly. Make a resi for an outside table.

    The view...ohhhhhhh, the view. I think the view just happens to make the food taste even better than it already does. Our driver, Davide (pronounced "David", likely to accommodate our American accents) recommended this little place and it was delish. Freshly made pasta (of course) and sauces...each one better than the one served before it. Loved the fantastic service, the setting and the view. Freshly made breads with verdant Italian olive oil, bruschetta with tomatoes whose taste is so exquisite I have no idea how I'll eat an American tomato again. The same tomatoes that make up the pomodoro, it was like eating a velvet tomato only much more flavorful. Crisp lettuce made up the salad. Couldn't have planned a more memorable lunch in the city of Sorrento.

    This may have been the best meal I have ever eaten. Everything at this place was above and beyond our expectations from the staff, to the view, to the atmosphere, to the food. Started with the grilled calamari and vegetables, followed by the most perfectly cooked crab stuffed ravioli with fresh mussels and clams, then a main dish of sea bream in a lemon and basil butter sauce, finished all with a lemon cream cake and shots of limoncello. My girlfriend had same except did her main dish as sausage with mozzarella, I tried it and it was good... But not as good as the sea bream. You gotta remember seafood is going to be the way to go here since it's right of the coast. Make sure you make reservations for this place well in advance (especially during May-August) and if you are from out of the country and working with a travel agent, it helps to have them book it. Gracie Mille to all of the wait staff and chefs! We truly felt like we were treated as honored guests.

    Great prices

    Amazing dinner at Il Borgo. We were looking for a restaurant with a nice view and good food and Il Borgo didn't disappoint. We sat on the small patio overlooking Sorrento. We ordered pizza, risotto and pasta - everything tasted (and was) homemade and very delicious. Overall excellent food, great view and great prices.

    This restaurant was my favorite dinner in Sorrento! They came out to sing music 3+ times and were…read moreso fun to sign and dance with. The food was very good. I had the pasta with clams and definitely recommend. The price was reasonable and service was great. Everyone was so friendly!

    Was looking forward to this dinner because of all the good reviews but I'm not quite sure as I felt…read morethe food missed the mark and didn't compare to some of the other Italian food I had this trip. I made a reservation on Google but when I showed up, they didn't have our reservation, apparently they rejected the reservation which is crazy because I'm so used to just making the reservation online and it's automatically confirmed whereas this place indeed sent me a rejection email earlier in the day saying they couldn't confirm the reservation - not something I've ever experienced before since I always just assumed when you make the reservation on Google, it's already confirmed automatically but I will definitely pay closer attention to my emails in the future. Luckily they were able to fit us in but said we had to be done eating in an hour which was fine with me as we weren't trying to have a long dinner. I got the mixed seafood grill and most of it was dry and slightly overcooked, not much flavor. The grilled vegetables were just the cold appetizer grilled vegetables. The homemade pasta with sausage was alright but not amazing. The ambiance was a nice family restaurant with live music. Kind of tucked away down a side street in Sorrento, but close to our hotel. Our waiter was really friendly and funny, that's the only reason I'm giving this four stars as the overall meal was probably closer to 3 or 3.5.

We had a bottle of wine for dinner which was very good. Our appetizers were truly delicious ! We had the bruschetta ( three different kinds: zucchini , eggplant , broccoli rabe). Our favorite was the zucchini. We also had the parmigiana alla chef (I think that's what it was called). It was like eggplant parmigiana to us, very tasty! For dinner we had risotto and steak. Prices were very reasonable. Overall it was a wonderful night and we got to eat outside :)

She said her steak was disappointing. It was "dry and stringy". But for those of us who ordered fish as our main courses, it was perfection. Maybe seafood is their strength. Absolutely LOVED the Medallion of mozzarella in carrozza on tomato coulis and black olive sand. I could have made an entire meal out of that. We then had the pasta linguine with "scapece" zucchini and burrata cheese from Monti Lattari. Highly recommend. Came out beautifully. I was too impatient to eat it that I forgot to take a pic first. It was beautifully plated though. I had the Wood-smoked red snapper fillet. It had a semolina, lemon and saffron crust, and rested upon roasted potato and basil cream. Delicious. Perfectly cooked. I took a bite of the Sea bass fillet with orange sauce and capers. The oranges are grown in the Sorrento garden. I liked the sea bass even more than my own. I've been to Sorrento 4x now and this was easily my favorite meal I've ever had here.

    Such a yummy meal oh my. I ordered the Pasta di Gragnano and it was a lobster pasta that was…read moreslightly creamy and oh so flavorful, probably the most flavorful lobster dish I've ever had. The chef's starter was not my favorite, very mushy textures for the burrata esque one and the octopus one, but the potato one was fine. The bread basket with an assortment of breads is delicious. The Giglio pasta with salmon comes moving which is cool, but it was also very unique and good. The catch of the day was solid. The gnocco was great, but also my vegetarian family got the dish modified so who knows what it was supposed to taste like actually lol. The tiramisu was very different but good and the tiramisu espresso martini was out of this world tbh

    Lobster- 8.5/10. Well cooked but sauces and sides were pretty flavorless…read more Beef tacos- 5/10. Not really sure why this is on the menu at all. Dish was under seasoned and both the beef filling and tortillas didn't taste that great Broccoli and eel risotto- 6/10. Couldn't taste much flavor from broccoli, eel pieces were tiny, and risotto was undercooked at the top. At the bottom it was better and I'm guessing it's because as the dish cooled, the bottom kept cooking longer. It wasn't served to me hot either. I didn't even end up finishing it. Tagliolini- 8/10. Good flavor, but nothing special. We had better pasta elsewhere that was also much cheaper. Seabass- 8.5/10. At least the cook on the seabass was good. but again nothing special Beef cheeks- 8.5/10. Same- solid but nothing I'd write home about. Overall, this has been the least impressive Michelin starred meal I've experienced in a while. The lack of flavor and unevenly and undercooked risotto was really disappointing. And the prices are way higher than what the meal is worth. Would recommend skipping this spot.
