    Margherita pizza
    Sydney N.

    This place was awesome. After trying to get a cab for an hour at the Sorrento station, we found this place on Yelp. I ordered two appetizers(thinking they were going to be small) the octopus salad and the mussels, both were massive! The mussels were some of the best mussels I've ever had. The octopus salad was delicious as well. My boyfriend ordered a margherita pizza that must've been amazing because he didn't even save me one bite. After we were done eating, they were nice enough to call us a cab to pick us up directly at the restaurant. Overall I'd say this restaurant was inexpensive for the portion sizes, great quality food, and very friendly waitstaff. Thank you so much!

    Mussels and clams with pasta

    Pizza was amazing. Clams and mussels were very good but pasta could have been better. Very decently priced menu and there are photos of all menu items. Nice wine selection as well for fair prices. We sat inside but they also have a bustling outside patio.

    We came in for dinner after a long day of sightseeing in Capri and Sorrento. I ordered the Lamb and my husband had the veal with lemon sauce. The sauce was like a light almost watered down gravy with a lemon flavor. We also ordered the rosemary potatoes. Dinner was delicious and the service was good. I enjoyed my lamb more than my husband enjoyed his veal. All in all it was very good!

    Lobster Pasta

    Great Lobster pasta with tomatoes as well as an excellent ravioli dish and an extremely nice server. The melon digestivo was the cherry on top. Highly recommended

    This place was right by our hotel, and we really enjoyed it! We had 2 pasta dishes that had a lot of flavor and were cooked perfectly. Nice wine selection and price was very affordable as well. I'm sure you could find a different restaurant with better quality food, but this was a good option for variety and price.

    Gnocchi al Sorrento

    I really enjoyed my experience at the Red Lion. The food was delicious! I ended up getting the gnocchi al sorrento and the veal with lemon, two staples. The dessert was also amazing, although the name escapes me. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

    God.

    This is by far one of the best places to eat and "easy". The menu is informative and full of pictures with description in four languages, and prices more then reasonable. We came for dinner every night that we were and Sorrento and every time it was great. The divola pizza and the fish plate were the best, specially when they de-bone the fish for you. Great experience and the staff were super nice. Thank you for perfect dinners and great memories.

    The wine and beer is good and they give you complimentary Limoncello after your meal which was a nice gesture.

    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.

    With outdoor tables nestled next to the gorgeous yellow-painted Barique style Carmelite Church del…read moreCarmine, Bar Carmen is a perfect spot to have breakfast or light afternoon snack. Or to enjoy a glass of wine while watching all the people coming and going. I passed by so many times as this was on the path between my hotel and the shopping area, east of the Piazza Tasso, I finally decided to stop and give my feet a rest. Surprisingly affordable for a bar in the heart of Sorrento, I had a glass of red wine and opted for veal scaloppini for a late afternoon meal. The veal was very thin and quickly pan fried with a lovely lemony sauce balanced by briney capers. It was delicious and a welcomed reprieve from all the pasta I had been eating since I arrived. Others around me were enjoying pizza, pasta and gelato on a bright, sunny, 80 degree day in October. Sitting here surrounded by the incredible architecture of the buildings in this square was a quintessential Sorrento experience.

    There are basically three different types of eating establishments to choose from in Italy. A…read moreRistorante, a Bar, or a pizzeria. A pizzeria is what it is. Specializes in pizza but also makes other entrees as well. A Ristorante which is a little more up scale with the waiters in tuxedos, table clothes, and fancy silverware. But my favorite of the places to eat are the Bars. Bars in Italy aren't like what you typically think of a bar in the States. They are restaurants but usually half the price of the "Ristorantes". Chances are the food will be just as good but served in a more casual environment. Which brings me to one of my favorite places to eat in Sorrento, Bar del Carmine. Since being in here we have eaten here a couple times, here's a few things we've order: Tuna salad and chicken salads: both are great. I'd order it everytime I come to Carmine's. Very fresh, a nice combination of flavors, meat, bell peppers, fresh mozzarella, corn, onions, olives, articoke hearts, and carrots. They don't serve any Thousand Island, Ranch, or Italian dressing out here. There's only one choice which is delicious, olive oil and Vino Blanco. Cheeseburger: not anything like the American Standard for a burger but still good. Small patty, the main focus is mozzarella and the tomatoes. So if you are expecting an In & Out burger, ForgetAboutIt... Pizza: only thing bad at Bar del Carmine is the pizza. Probably the worst pizza I have eaten in Italy. But pizza should be from the pizzeria anyway. Service is always good. Prices much more reasonable. Comfortable and casual with great people watching being that it is located in the center of Piazzo Tasso.
