Food is outstanding and is only matched by the attentive staff. It's like home. Only in Sorrento and decided to eat there twice. Had we found this restaurant early in our trip, we would eat here every night! Francesca bartender/waitress was sweet, cheerful and super accommodating, (As well the rest of the staff!). When we return to Sorrento, we will surely make this our first stop!! Anthony and Concetta (May 4th and 5th, 2026) read more

Great spot close to our hotel where we had a great, decently priced meal. The ravioli caprese was perfectly portioned and the ricotta filling was delicious. We also ordered the pizza diavola and it was excellent! Had 2 glasses of wine for a total of 40€, so felt like that was a great deal for the meal. read more

Il Pozzo - Gnocco gorgonzola cheese, and ham - Italian Near Me - Sorrento, NA

Had our mind set on a different place but it's closed on Tuesday, so we tried Il Pozzo. We were seated back by the bar where it was rather quiet, just a couple of tables and patrons were in quiet conversation seemingly enjoying their meals. I was craving pizza so I ordered what the waitress recommended. I don't recall the name, but it had ham, sausage and mushrooms. The crust was magnificent! Soft with a light chew. The pizza had a bit of moisture on top, but it was fine. A great place for a quick and perfectly cooked pizza! read more

Wonderful atmosphere, food & drink delicious, service great! Please stop in, you won't be sorry.

Lovely spot. Friendly service and great food. As Americans not used to a daily diet of pasta it was nice to have a good salad. We had this restaurant's version of a nicoise and it was delightful. My dad had the eggplant parm, which was fantastic. The local wine was also great. read more

It's always a good sign when you're restaurant is filled with Italian locals. Probably my favorite restaurant in Sorrento. I've been coming here since my first visit in 2007 and make it a regular place to dine when I'm in town now. Everything is scratch made and authentic. The pizza is quintessential thin crust Neapolitan and remains my #1. Cannelloni and lasagna are outstanding main courses. Recently tried the veal scallopini and found it mouth watering. I usually drink my dessert. I recommend the Amaro Montenegro served straight up. The perfect digestif. Wonderful service, classic trattoria atmosphere, and excellent price point. Highly recommend. read more

First restaurant in Sorrento, Italy and one of my top 3 so far in Italy! Convenient location in the middle of the touristy area above the coast, but no sea view, sorry. Friendly service with very functional English - more than enough to understand our dietary restrictions. Lots of vegetarian and some vegan options! Cuisine reflects the Amalfi Coast - lots of fresh seafood, citrus (lemons!), and tomatoes. Oh gosh, do yourself a favor if you do eat seafood - try any seafood dish, any. Many options for catch of the day, i.e. fresh fish, and charges by weight. I loved my seafood salad, which was so much fresher than anything I've had in Florence or Rome on this trip. The mussels are big and the prawns, with heads still attached, are big and fresh! Vegans and vegetarians - order the bruschetta Pomodoro (only 3 euros), which has 3 big pieces of artisan bread topped with well seasoned diced tomatoes and the grilled vegetables (7 euros). The grilled veggie platter was so beautiful and had so much variety and flavor - peppers, eggplants, onion, some kind of veggie fritter, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, etc. Everything is doused in olive oil, so is quite filling. Partner's vegetarian 4 cheeses pizza was only ok; it didn't elicit too much reaction except the usual, "it's good". He mentioned that the cheeses were softer than what he is used to, like the cheeses included brie or another soft type of cheese. Cover is 1.50 euros per person, which covers complimentary bread. No service charge. Air conditioning inside, but still kind of warm and sticky. I liked il Pozzo a lot for the jolly Italian servers (whistled as they worked), classy presentation of dishes, seafood and vegetables, and good value (37.50 euros for 2 appetizers and 2 mains and a cappuccino). read more

Of all our meals in Sorrento, this was by far our favorite. We did no research...just stumbled upon this little gem while gallivanting around Sorrento. We were able to snag a small table on the patio (prime people watching locale) and enjoy the beautiful night weather. The whole place is cozy, snug and inviting...twinkling lights and softly lit...it's a very romantic spot if you want it to be! JT and I decided to share a pizza - Pizza Bianca - to start. They very graciously split the pizza for us and served it on two plates so we didn't have to make the effort to cut it up ourselves. It was a white pizza with prosciutto, onions and mozzarella and man, it was tasty. Of course, probably a little filling...but the portion sizes of the second course weren't overwhelming. For the second course, I went for broke with the seafood risotto and I'm glad I did. It was absolutely delicious and while I couldn't manage to finish the entire plate of rice...I fished (pun intended) around for every little morsel of seafood I could find. Waste not, want not! We skipped dessert in favor of finding some gelato, but if the rest of the meal was any indication...I have no doubt it would have been delicious. read more

This is the second year in a row that we have come to Sorrento and dined at Il Pozzo. It seemed to me a bit different than it did last year, just a hunch but it may be under new management this year. My rating 3 stars for quality and flavor of food and service. Ron ordered the filetto with balsamic and I ordered the grilled pollo, just to have a healthier meal option, since I have been really over doing it on this vacation in Europe AKA Carb Heaven! The filetto steak was in a balsamic glaze and laid over a thin slice of bread. The pollo great was sliced thin and there were three good size pieces grilled and well seasoned and with quite a bit of the local Sorrento lemon juice drizzled all over the dish. We also ordered the grilled vegetables and the mixed salad to accompany our main courses. The grilled vegetables were served cold and marinated in EVOO, very flavorful and for the mixed salad you add the EVOO and balsamic vinegar which was available at table side and in a pump spray container. The restaurant is set at the intersection of two quite narrow roadways in downtown Sorrento. IF you sit outside, it may be a bit on the noisy side and you are likely to inhale the exhaust from the many vespa's and motorbikes traveling these narrow streets. read more

After a hot day of walking around Pompei, it was nice to find this restaurant and have a nice cold beer and incredibly good gnocchi. The staff was friendly and my tells me the bathroom was clean (also important after a day of sightseeing). Definitely a go to place. read more

Worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant ever. From the moment we sat down it took ten minutes to get menus, another fifteen to get a drink menu, half an hour to get waters, twenty minutes to get a drink, and when we got our food it was disgusting and had no flavor. I sent my plate back and they still charged me for a salad that I didn't eat. When we asked to just pay our bill so we could get out of there it took another half hour. Stay away from this place if you can. Coming from a waitress that has never written a review ever. read more

I had a great dinner here while in sorrento. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, they even put up with me trying to speak Italian. I had the seafood risotto which was probably the best dish I've had while in Italy. The seafood and sauce were just delicious! While you're in southern Italy go for the seafood dishes! Don't forget the lemoncello! Pretty strong drink to end your dinner. read more

Lunch with wife. Our waiter was not pleasant and seemed to resent serving us. We had gnocchi what was just ok. Bread and wine were mediocre. Too many other restaurants in the area to choose from with better service and food. read more

This restaurant was the best bang for your buck in our entire italy trip. Nothing disappointed - great bread, pizza, pasta and soup. Please do yourself a favor and go. read more

Really delicious food, great atmosphere at a really reasonable price. Maybe it's because California restaurants are SO expensive, going anywhere by comparison is cheap. Either way, this place is a great value. We got a pizza margherita and ravioli, both were amazing. Something to keep in mind: the "free" bread is not free, it's 1,50€ per basket, and the water is not free either. This may seem obvious to some, but again, coming from California, both of these things are included in the price of the meal. read more

Took family here based on back street logic paired with Google reviews. Lovely staff. Great service. Absolutely wonderful food at an amazing price. After a week in Italy we feel we had the best meal of the trip here. The seafood was unbelievable. I had the mixed platter and not only was it delicious is cost the same as one fish in most places. Can't recommend this delightful place enough. read more

Very nice establishment with attentive staff and great menu selection. Service was prompt and efficient and more than met our expectations. You will not be disappointed with any selection and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Ahh Italy. Nothing can be bad in Italy. Hubs and I chose this place just after walking around the alleys of Sorrento and I'm so happy we did. Service was amazing. House wines were only 3 euros and they had the most amazing ravioli that we ordered another plate to share! We sat on the patio and there wasn't too much to look at, but still such a nice ambiance. If you're traveling to Sorrento, you must find this place for dinner. read more

Very delicious eggplant parmesan & baked gnocchi! The eggplant parmesan had 3 thin amazing layers - eggplant, cheese, eggplant. While we didn't get the nightly specials they looked very good and would get them next time. read more

Il Pozzo - Great wine! - Italian Near Me - Sorrento, NA

We came to Sorrento a couple days before and thought this restaurant looked nice so we decided to come here for our last meal. Unfortunately this was the worst meal we had in Italy after 4 weeks of travelling around Italy by a mile. The service was so bad I can't put into words without swearing. The food wasnt great. The value for money was terrible. I was sat with my girlfriend (who does not smoke) and she and myself witnessed first hand one of the waiters putting out a cigarette in the kitchen and bring the food straight out from the same room. The whole of the restaurant seemed to have got some sort of (dry not appertising looking nibbles) we got nothing to offer. When my girlfriend asked what the WiFi was she got a rude snobby and completely ignorant response. The food really was not good especially in comparison to anywhere we had eaten over a month travelling about the country. We brought this up with the manager and he told us he had no other complaints before even though the people next to us was not happy either. He also offered nothing to us to rectify any of this and charged us full amount. When we did not leave a tip (rightly so) they all laughed us out the door. The place is disgusting and would strongly recommend not going there, do not be fooled by how it looks from outside as we did! read more

Great food honestly. Worth a visit for sure. The seafood is fresh and so is the quality of the food.

We loved this restaurant because it is delicious & casual. We are guests at The Bellevue Syrene Hotel and wanted something fantastic yet easy walk and delicious. We were so pleased with friendly family restaurant that made the best pizza in All of Italy. Don't miss this place when visiting Sorrento. No white tablecloths here. Just great food !!! Thank You!! read more

The restaurant has an OK atmosphere but our fish special was "fishy". For a restaurant next to the sea that's unacceptable.

We got the bruschetta for appetizer, and it was so-so. The tomatoes were very finely-chopped, which is typically indicative of lower quality produce - they can use that technique to hide imperfections. The house wine was pretty good, probably the highlight of the night (but don't take that to mean it was amazing). I got the special which was spaghetti with grilled white fish, and my girlfriend got the gnocchi. They were both alright, but nothing to write home about. The spaghetti was quite fishy, which I didn't mind, and there was a ton of oil. The gnocchi was fine as far as the pasta goes, but the sauce tasted like it was from a jar and most of the flavor came from the cheese. I read more

Service was very good, and the pizza and caprese salad were amazing! Prices were very good for the quality as well.

The appetizer sampler was a very generous portion and tasted ok. Service was incredibly slow and the food was cold when we received it. Expect food to at least be hot and good if the wait is long. Won't be going back. read more
