    Margarita pizza and calamari a la grilla
    Luis M.

    Avoided the ridiculous hotel laundering prices and instead walked next door to this restaurant to do laundry. Decided to get a bite while I waited and boy was I in for a sensationally cooked meal. The grilled calamari had a distinct slight smoky char mixed with lemon taste unbridled by any of the heavily breaded so called calamari I've ever eaten back in the states. The margarita pizza,, truly a blessing disguised as a typically pedestrian uninspiring order, boasted the organic flavors of its fresh ingredients cooked to perfection in their wood oven. Perhaps it's my Las Vegas Strip prejudices, but don't be fooled by the inelegant atmosphere or intimidated the noisy street next to the restaurant but even these potential criticisms are squelched by noting that the city street is lined with unexpected' orange trees!

    Great Pizza!!!

    What a wonderful dining experience. The Marg pizza was fantastic and the pesto ravioli was to die for. It had a lemon taste the developed about 3 seconds after taking a bite. I mean Wow! This by far was the best restaurants in Sorrento for me... I can't wait for my return to Sorrento!

    cavatelli spada e scarmoza
    Luran Y.

    After four hours in transit, my friends and I stopped by another restaurant for dinner. When they turned us away we came to La Fenice, who kindly let us dine even though they were about to close. Fate was surely on our side that night. Not only was the food cheaper, it was delicious!! Two of us got the cavatelli with swordfish and scarmoza. The portion was big but it was so good that we both finished it. The melted cheese and occasional bit of swordfish were a perfect pair.

    Wow!!! The gluten free pizza is insane. Gnocchi incredible. Really good service. Friendly.

    Pomodoro pasta and bolognese!

    Amazing pasta...best we've had in Sorrento (and we've had a lot). Not touristy and the food had FLAVOR, something we've missed in a lot of food in Sorrento. Service was kind and the atmosphere gave local, family, and casual. We'll be returning for a second night. We had the Bolognese and the Pomodoro pasta. Would recommend!

    Fruitti di Mare
    Michael L.

    This was the first Italian seafood restaurant we hit in sorrento. Portions were on the moderate. Very fresh seafood. We ordered: Fruitti di Mare: pasta with clams and mussels. Didn't blow me away like I expected. Mussels w/garlic: a nice appetizer. Simple and a nice amount of mussels. King prawns: I think my wife expected something different. It was just four big prawns in a red sauce. I think she was hoping for pasta to be served with it. Service was good like all the restaurants in Italy. A little pricey and not great bang for your (euro) buck. But decent food nonetheless.

    Loved this place. The staff were the nicest I experienced in Italy. The spaghetti carbonara was perfectly spiced and the lasagna was delicate, rich and light all at the same time (I know that doesn't make sense but you have to try it to understand). I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Sorrento!

    That lasagna was sooooooo gooooood!!!!!!
    Geoff M.

    We hired a driver to take us down the coast and when we asked for a good restaurant he suggested this place- and he was right!!! The lasagna was sooooo goooood! It was thick with meat and lots of cheese and just so good! The fish was hand trimmed for you at the table and was delicious in the sauce! The wine came with peaches in it- what a nice treat since I love peaches and used this as my dessert! The only bad thing is it was located near a hospital so there was a lot of sirens going by... so I do not recommend this place for a romantic evening but if your hungry you should stop in!!!

    Eh. For a restaurant in a tourist town, it's fine (I give the overall experience 3 stars). I give the gnocchi with salmon 2 stars. Hard to find good places to eat in this fisherman town gone tourist...

    We found this place by looking on The Fork and Yelp. The ratings were spot on…read more The atmosphere is casual but cozy. The staff was super friendly and made some great recommendations. We started with the Fiori de zuccha ripieni and it was phenomenal. It was lightly fried with a slight crisp outer crust and the cheese was creamy. A delightful starter. We also had the Provola affumicata e salame calabro crostoni. The salame was spicy but delicious. The dough had amazing flavors of garlic and cheese. It was simply delightful. My husband had the sea bass in a lemon butter sauce with potato's. The potato's had a nice crisp on the outside. I had the special of the day, which was the ragu with sausage, meatballs and short ribs. The pasta was similar to a rigatoni but bigger. The sauce was delicious. Their house wine was a perfect touch to pair with our meal. We ended it with some limoncello. We were too full to eat any dessert. I'm sure it would have been delicious. After each course, they brought out clean silverware, which is a nice touch. I also noticed that a lot of restaurants throughout Italy plays American music but this restaurant played Italian music which was a nice touch.

My wife had a spicy dish & I had the clam pasta with brown butter sauce. We finished with the veal! Everything was perfect for our last night in Sorrento. We ended the night with the most amazing strawberry gelato dessert.

    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.

    Made a reservation for a Sunday night, and had an incredible time. The outside seating is tiered,…read morewith sectioned private tables nestled in beautiful greenery. Since it was so hot during our stay in Sorrento, we opted to sit inside. We were guided down a flight of stairs, which led to an elegant dining area that was once the 16th century wine cellar for a former monastery. There is also another flight of stairs that lead up to more seating, and the wine cellar. Once seated, we were handed the wine menu, which listed countless choices. Admitting we were in over our heads, a Sommelier, Geppino, was sent to our table. He was wonderful! Warm, friendly, helpful and extremely passionate about his role. He suggested a 2020 Chianti we thoroughly enjoyed, and which paired well with everything we ate. We were so taken with his hospitality and energy, that we took two bottles of wine home with us! My husband ordered the Raviolo for his first course, and the Beef for his second. I chose to hand my selections over to the chef, ordering the "In Our Hands" portion of the Scent of the Land. Everything that came out, was beyond fabulous. Even my husband, who is not a foodie, gave high praise. There was artistry in every presentation. Proteins were melt in your mouth tender and enveloped in savory sauces and tender pasta. Natural fats were beautifully balanced with subtle bits of acidity that left your palette satisfied yet craving for more. You could taste culinary expertise in every bite, with each plate being perfectly portioned. With each serving, it was obvious how much care the kitchen put into each dish. Service was on point, with staff constantly circling the restaurant, watching to see if anything was needed. They were friendly and engaging, and made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Il Buco served up some of the best food we have ever had. True craftmanship from beginning to end.

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
