A delicious meal to welcome us to Salerno!!…read more The gentleman who took our order was fantastic! It was very crowded, busy, and we got there about 45 minutes before closing, but he welcomed us and took such good care of us! I had the bream and my husband had cod with marinara. They were perfection!! The tables were small and crowded, which felt a little tight, but I wouldn't change a thing!

Main dish was delicious, the place is great, and the service was excellent. A perfect 10!read more

We spent an hour wandering the streets of the historic center when we stumbled upon this local gem…read more We have no idea how this compares to the other seafood restaurants in Taranto but we enjoyed ourselves and by the looks on the other faces in the crowded dining room it looked like were were not alone. During out entire 1-2 hours here we heard not a word of English. It looked like a local joint with families and singles on dates well represented in the crowd. We were greeted at the door like we were long lost relatives and hustled right away to a table. We were presented with menus but before we could open them we were beckoned into the next room where all manner of fresh caught seafood was lying on ice. I assume they were telling us to pick out what we wanted to eat (some of the choices were still moving around) but as they spoke no English and I even less Italian they could have been telling us anything and I would not have had a clue. We picked out swordfish, calamari, bream and something else that looked adventurous. At each selection the animal was ceremoniously plucked off the ice and placed on a large silver platter. Once we were done we were led back to our table which had been adorned with bread and cutlery in our absence. We still had not opened a menu. We looked around and noticed nobody had menus and they simply told the waiters what they wanted and a few minutes later it magically appeared from the next room on silver platters for the diners to inspect. Once approved the sea creatures were then off to the kitchen and their fate. Needless to say it was delicious and as fresh a fish as I have ever eaten. And I have lived on the beach where seafood was there for the taking. Not only did we have our fill but it was the perfect fuel for our mile walk through the February night back to the hotel. Our entire bill including wine was $46.00 We would definitely come back.

The staff were super kind and they remembered us and said hi every time we walked by the restaurant. It doesn't have a view, but they do have outdoor seating which is nice.

This was our first meal after arriving in Positano and we couldn't have asked for a better one. We arrived in Positano around 10 PM on a Saturday night. This restaurant was on our itinerary and was a 2 minute walk from our hotel. We walked up around 10:30 and they sat us immediately on the outdoor patio. We ordered grilled octopus to start and it might have been the freshest and tastiest grilled octopus I've ever eaten. We also ordered a spicy green sauce pasta that was top 3 best things we ate on our entire trip. I wish I knew the name of it so that I could mention it here. We also ordered a prosciutto and burrata pizza. My wife isn't a huge fan of prosciutto so she didn't enjoy it as much as I did. But I would happily eat that pizza again and again. The staff were very kind and friendly. They didn't ever seem annoyed that we came in later at night. Every day that we walked past them to go into the main center of Positano, they smiled and invited us back in or asked how we were doing. They don't have the same view that other restaurants might have, but what they lack in a view, they make up for in quality and service.

It was a statistical anomaly that gave us the opportunity to dine at this marvelous establishment…read more My husband and I were looking for a different seafood restaurant nearby, and couldn't find it. The locals told us that the place we were looking for had closed and to try Cuptie. Reluctantly, we took their advice. I am overjoyed that we did. With skepticism, we ordered just two small plates. After our first bite, we were hooked. We ended up getting two more plates! As self-proclaimed food enthusiasts, my husband and I rarely eat twice at the same restaurant when we travel. That way, we can try as much unique food as possible. This is the only place that we returned to during our trip to Italy, here in Sorrento. The food and service was fantastic. I highly recommend the mix seafood salad. The octopus and cuttlefishfish were absolutely superb esspecially considering the price!

This was of the best meals of my life. End of story. Well, it's not - I'll give a bit more detail…read more But this restaurant is certainly worthy of its 2-Michelin star status. The food was amazing, and the experience even better! We arrive as a group of four. The first room we entered is an ancient cave, where we had drinks and some pre-meal appetizers. The room was dedicated with beautiful art and sculptures. In the corner there was around $100,000 of music equipment - a turntable, large speakers and a record collection that belongs to the owner. They allowed us to play whatever we wanted, and it added so much to the experience! In the collection was a U2 album autographed by Bono who had been there a few months earlier - just sitting in a stack! It was really incredible. We were then given a tour of their 17th century wine cellar - absolutely amazing. Then, we were ushered into the dining room, which was intimate and beautiful. It was raining and dark, so we couldn't enjoy the beautiful views. However, the courses were served and each was better than the next. I don't want to give too much info on the food, since I'm sure the menu changes regularly. Pictures are attached. At the end of the evening, we got to see the kitchen as clean-up was happening. Obviously service was equally about bringing the food as it was providing an once-in-a-lifetime experience. And they accomplished that!

Greeted at the entrance of this historic stone tower on the shores of the Gulf of Naples by no less than four impeccably courteous staff members, we knew our evening was off to a good start. We began the dinner outside, starting off with cocktails (excellently prepared by the restaurant's sommelier) and a group of small plates. The setting is magic and no amount of explanation will top the experience itself. You can either choose the tower or the patio for the start of the meal, and if nice outside, I would highly recommend the outdoor setting just for the sheer views themselves. The small plates were brought to our table with our drinks in timely coordination. I will fail to remember the exact components of each plate, but they were all excellent. We then moved inside with our cocktails and were given a tour of the wine cellar as we ordered a bottle of white. The cellar itself is breathtaking and I could have spent hours browsing the vast selection of wines. We then moved to the main dining area where our group of four had a long rectangular table in the heart of the restaurant. We selected the five course tasing menu and I have to be honest, I simply don't think I could have stomached the 10 course, as even the five courses had almost eight or nine different components, all quite filling. I will not go through each as they are pictured, but highlights certainly included the risotto and the fish soup with 10 (12?) different varieties of noodles. Perhaps the most exciting part was getting a little peek within the chef's working space. The staff took such good care of us and we truly didn't want to leave; I think we spent a total of three hours from start to finish. The dessert just kept coming and it truly was impossible to say no despite how full we felt. I would recommend Torre del Saracino to anyone traveling to Vico Equense. I can only imagine what a three star Michelin would entail if this was just two stars. Beautifully done.
