    Lobster Special

    We were a party of 8 without reservation. The staff was very kind and accommodated us. To food was delicious. We had the fried pasta appetizers, the bruschetta, and the burrata for apps. All to die for. I had the carbonara, my daughter the lasagna, my youngest plain pasta (boring, but they delivered exactly what she asked and she loved it!), and my husband had the lobster special. One of the best meals we had in Sorrento.

    This will HANDS DOWN be one of the best meals Of this trip & probably top 10 of our lives. No joke! My friend went here last year and raved about it so I made a res. **definitely make a reservation or you will not get in ** I chose the Carbonara, it was perfection! This is the Italian dish I have been dreaming about since our last trip five years ago! My husband got the lasagna bake. Again, absolute perfection!! Service was fantastic & the outdoor patio is gorgeous! Clean, nice tables. Beautiful! 10000% recommend Semola & cannot wait to come back!

    We came for a later dinner at the peak of Italian tourist season. At first, the owner said there were no tables open, but after walking around for a bit and asking a second time (nowhere else looked as good!), they let us in. The patio is beautiful with very cute modern light fixtures. Our server was attentive and helpful. We ordered the fried pasta appetizer, which came with fresh mozzarella. It was incredible. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their pasta. I had the pesto and it was delicious. The menu had something for everyone. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling in the area- I'd say it was one of, if not the best, meals of the whole trip.

    Top carbonara of my 2-week trip to Italy in October 2024. We found this restaurant by searching for "carbonara" on Google Maps and it did not lead us astray! We didn't have a reservation so we were told it would be about an hour wait. We weren't hungry yet, so we decided to stick it out, even in the rain. We ended up getting in about 20 minutes later when a table opened up. We got 2 versions of carbonara and spritzes to drink. Everything was wonderful. The carbonara was so creamy and simple. I loved it so much. The ambiance was so fun, some neon pasta themed lights and pasta patterns on lampshades. It was probably a touristy spot, but we had a wonderful time and the service was friendly. We ate in a nice covered patio and the noodles as straws were adorable. 10/10!

    Made dinner reservations for 6:30pm. I got a glass of white wine and started with the mozzarella and prosciutto app with fried pasta - it was larger than expected and very delicious. For pastas, we chose the nerano pasta and ravioli. The spaghetti alla nerano was the perfect comfort food - it met my high expectations - and the ravioli were very good also. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauces were great. For dessert, we tried tiramisu and cherry 'ravioli'. We liked both, but I preferred the tiramisu. Location was very convenient to where we were staying and we had attentive service.

    Venturing out tonight away from our tour group, the Concierge recommended a "Homemade" pasta place down the base of Sorrento, so we grab a taxi & head down. No Reservations and its Italian Independence Day so everyone is eating out tonight. We are seated in the front area overlooking the walkway & Sergio our server was great all evening. Wine lists have photos with wine descriptions which I feel every place should have LOL. We select a wine, and we are off & running. 3 of us tonight. We start with the "FRIED PASTA PLATTER" which was unlike anything I've ever had. All types of pasta & Vegetables quick fried with Spicy Marinara as well as a mayonnaise based dipping sauce on the side. A great starter, which was more inclined to bar food than a fine dining experience, but the presentation & taste were quite unique. Moving on. 3 Entrees, all homemade pastas. Rigatoni with marinara seemed like a safe bet, but it had or tasted like it had a hint of cream which made this dish truly outstanding. Simple but really good flavor. Ravioli, homemade obviously were stuffed with 3 types of cheeses in the same sauce as above. Equally outstanding. Homerun on the Spaghetti carbonara with pancetta, which is always lukewarm, but somehow, they were able to elevate it to hot without turning the egg into scrambled. 2 Coffees where hot & Fresh. As stated, Sergio was great all night & the price points were very reasonable based on service & food quality. Not sure when I'll be in Sorrento again, but for those visiting Highly recommended.

    Carbonara

    If you are looking for fresh made pasta, then stop here for sure! My absolute favorite dish is Carbonara and they did not disappoint! This was my favorite meal by far while on our trip.

    Mix salad, amazing tomatoes!

    Stumbled across this place for lunch. Super cute spot, excellent service. Wine, salad and pesto were fabulous. Excellent fresh flavors. Available for dine in or take away. Definitely recommend for a good classic Italian lunch or dinner. The desserts look incredible and creative but I didn't have room :] tiramisu is served in an tiny stovetop express maker :]

    Burrata
    Rachelle A.

    This place was absolutely delicious. Not only were the pastas homemade, the prices were also very reasonable. The staff were very friendly as well. We ordered the burrata (4/5), rigatoni (5/5), scampi (4/5), and fried spaghetti with Nutella (4.5/5). Highly recommend this place!

    Seafood pasta
    Mike H.

    Cool little pasta shop located just off the main street in Sorrento. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Quite nice sitting outside as its enclosed. We tried the pesto and the seafood pasta. The pesto was delicious and the fresh pasta had great texture cooked perfectly al dente. The seafood pasta had nice seafood, but I thought it could have had slightly more flavor in the sauce. Great dishes and truly an amazing value!

    Fried pasta appetizer
    Silke M.

    Not a bad spot, liked but didn't love it. I like pasta al dente but my spaghetti were very firm and the meat sauce very salty. Note I do love salt. The fried pasta appetizer was different and if you love prosciutto and mozarella it has a good amount of that on the plate. But the fried spaghetti sounded a lot better in theory than eating them. Friendly service, great table wine. For me personally between 3-4 Stars.

    Spaghetti dessert with nutella- the craziest dessert I have ever seen and it was delicious!!!

    We shared the lemon pasta and Genovese pasta. We came here already once in December 2024, and it…read morewas as delicious as we remember. 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!

    Stopped in for dinner after a long day of touring in Pompeii. We passed a Michelin-starred…read morerestaurant to dine here. It was definitely worth it. 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.

    Looked this place up and saw the reviews…read more. Did not disappoint. We have been to a handful of popular "viral" places but let me tell you the quality of the food and flavor does not disappoint. 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. They don not make their own pasta here however don't let that deter you. The food was excellent and you could not go wrong with anything you ordered. 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!

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 tiramisu was very different but good and the tiramisu espresso martini was out of this world tbh
