    Ravioli
    John M.

    I went back for a second time in 2 days. to be honest, i think it's hard to find bad food in this region of Italy. The place is low key and has outdoor seating that looks up to a 300 year old church which frequently hosts weddings in the spring and summer. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating faces a busy road so it was noisy but the trade off is that church. The owner (Franco) is enthusiastic, speaks some English, great host. Food is excellent, well proportioned. We had the ravioli both days, the zucchini pasta in light white sauce one time. Also ordered a simple pizza to take home as I dined alone on the second night. I can't get enough of that ravioli. Costs are reasonable, about 6 euro for the pizza, 11 ish euro for the ravioli and zucchini pasta. Highly advise if you are in the Sorrento area.

    This is right next to one of many churches in Sant' Agnello/Sorrento. Offers outside seating to n the shade. Variety of menu choices for all. Francisco was lovely to take care of us. He speaks English, which was a benefit to my very limited Italian. We only had lunch and our mixed salad with tuna was a decent size portion. And the typical limoncello was included before we could pay our bill. Credit cards/cash accepted.

    Great, quick, and delicious. Definitely go for one of the specials, you won't regret it.

    We did like the meat and cheese appetizer. The pastas were not good- the lemon pasta was so buttery and oily. The spaghetti was average.

    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.

    This was perfection for me. A five star experience across the board. Three of the four of us…read moreagreed. My friend loved everything until she got to her main course. 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.

    The garden sitting of 86Bistro above the street is beautiful and peaceful…read more Excellent food and experience. We really enjoyed this restaurant, the best dinner in Italy. The fried octopus appetizer was very good My wife's sea bass and my seared tuna were excellent The staff here were friendly and really appreciated their recommendations on wine. They have a good Italian wine list and knowledge of the wine. Highly recommend 86Bistro.
