It was tasty! Very buttery. Enough so I didn't have to take any food away. The lemoncello spritz was veryyyy strong! I couldn't finish it and still be sober. I went around 1:30pm and there were many tables available-- I was seated immediately. Ambiance was quiet with some music playing.

This place came highly recommended for our first time visiting Sorrento and it did not disappoint…read more One of the few places that accept reservations and that was really convenient. Prices were all super affordable too even for drinks even being so central to the towns location too. We started with their recommended Shrimp appetizer and it was one of the most memorable bites of our trip. the warm shrimp inside wrapped in this crunchy pasta was like an italian shrimp tempura, all with a lemon cream dipping sauce underneath. Must Try! My Carbonara was excellently done, I will say much more filling than I expected! The Gnocchi was delicious and almost reminded us of a vodka sauce. We also got a Hugo Spritz and Lemon Spritz for 10 Euro each, really reasonable for the area so definitely check this place out if you're visiting Sorrento.

Having visited multiple places in Italy and Sicily the last time, this place stood out as one of the favorite spots on our trip. Of course we had to stop by again, and we were not disappointed. When in Sorrento, lemon pasta is a must, but I have the say that the true star was La Genovese pasta, which was recommended by our server. My husband still liked lemon pasta best, which means you really can't go wrong. Their bread was also delicious, particularly the white bread and the breadsticks, and they give you balsamic vinegar and olive oil for it. Considering most of the bread we had in Italy was surprisingly disappointing, it's exciting to eat somewhere that the food is good from start to finish. They also gave us one scoop of limoncello and one scoop of lemon gelato for dessert. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the lemon gelato. This is our second time back, and we would not hesitate to eat here again the next time we're in Sorrento. Servers were also friendly and helpful. The food does take a while, but that goes to show that it all is freshly made. This place is great whether it's for a casual dining experience or for date night. They also have free WiFi, just ask them for the info. I love that it's also a family establishment, and family members work at the restaurant. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here.

Our servers were kind and patient and we even had a chance to meet the owner! I would highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered a variety of pasta dishes. I do not remember the names of the dishes, but my favorite ones were the lemon pasta and the T-none Florentine steak cooked to perfection! The limoncello at the end of our meal topped it off for me! I will certainly return when I come back to Firenze!

The restaurant is in a back alley and made for a private experience. We had three servers taking care of us and making sure we were enjoying our dining experience. The focaccia was better than any I have had. It had fresh veggies and the olive oil blended the flavors perfectly. I had the lasagna, not as good as mine at home but delicious. My daughter had the special, a lemon shrimp pasta. She said it was heavy on the lemon but fresh and delightful. I would recommend the restaurant if you have time to slow down and enjoy your food. We didn't have dessert because the serving size was just right.

To make it worse the manager tries to argue that you ate both and need to pay. Challenging since all the staff saw the waiter take it back. The waiter then corrected the bill, but the damage was done. Being insulted and called a liar is poor hospitality. Simply avoid, the positive reviews must be fake. A table of 4 next to us got up after no one went to them, after waiting for 15-20 minutes. They went across the street- wish I did the same. Incredibly awful experience. From food, to rude and ignorant staff, to bugs all over. A must miss place.

You can tell the guy who took our order is the owner and he showed a great deal of pride in his restaurant. I wanted to order an additional plate since my main course was only fish.. he said it would be too much and he didn't want to waste food. Most restaurants don't care as long as they sell you more. Every dish was soo flavorful. My daughter's dish was the two color pasta with Gorgonzola and honey and it was amazing. My fish was moist and flavorful. My husband's pesto was very good and so was my sons pasta. I tasted everyone's food lol. The salad was also amazing. We all loved what we ordered and that is very rare.

They are only open certain days and there will certainly be a line but it is worth the wait. The food was a 10/10 with every detailed thought of for the best combination of flavor that capture Italy.

We made friends with the three tables next to us and everyone got something different however ever raved about the meal. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable. They spoken to us like family and taught us some Italian. The outdoor seating is a must for good people watching on the bustling streets of Sorrento!

It is absolutely amazing and the perfect place to experience Italian meats and cheeses in Sorrento. They only have one thing on the menu - meat and cheese boards - all you do is choose the size. We were two people who had not eaten and were hungry and it was typical Italian dinner time. We are every scrap but it would probably be too much for most couples. They have hundreds of wines to go along. They will help you customize the board if you have specific things you want to try and you can pick out of the case in the shop. The staff is lovely and most are the owners or family. It is a small family run business in a great location in the Main Street.

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 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 lemon cream pasta is a MUST, light cream taste with refreshing lemon! I also got the lamb chops which was cooked medium rare and very tender with a nice savory light sauce. Dessert the tiramisu was a perfect ending, soft and light. The service was great as they checked in often, they also had an english menu available which we greatly appreciated.
