This place came highly recommended for our first time visiting Sorrento and it did not disappoint. 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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

When visiting downtown Sorrento, Semola is one of our favorite places to eat. The pastas are handmade and flavorful. My favorite dishes to get are the spaghetti alla nerano and the gnocchi sorrentino. Reservations are recommended and if they are fully booked, they offer take away. I'd recommend doing that and eating at a nearby park overlooking the water! read more

Pasta was good, service was ok, it was a little loud even for open air, but ok. Restaurant was closed on Friday.

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 :] read more

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! read more

Overhyped food not good. We had very rude staff who pick and choose who sits outside and make up reservation and wait times. read more

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. read more

Headline: this is a great homemade red sauce pasta place. Had a reservation for 9pm that we called the day of to make (would recommend making a reservations by phone as we saw many groups get turned away at 8:45pm). Got a bottle of wine they recommended that was great. Started off with the lasagna, because we're fat Americans and have sometimes been leaving hungry after one course in Italy. The lasagna was INCREDIBLE, it was almost like a stew, highly recommend, could have easily been a meal. The next I had a lemon tuna pasta and Emmy partner had the ragu. I'm not a picky eater but, the lemon tuna pasta, was way too salty. My partners spaghetti ragu was very good, also very stewy the carrots in it came out very nicely. Nice portion sizes for the price too. We were seated outside, the ambiance was nice it was on a quieter street. read more

Randomly walked across this restaurant while walking through alleys in olde town. The food is low priced-mid priced depending on what you get. They have homemade pasta which is very good and served perfectly Al Dante. It ranges from about 6€ to 18€ for the pasta. I ordered the lemon pasta with tuna, which was a nicer pasta, and it was 16€. My brother ordered another one of the fancier pastas which was 18€. Their beer selection was sub-par but you can never go wrong with Heineken! Service was good, though the waiter was a big blunt as we acted very American, and the covered outdoor seating did not fully cover our table or the couple sitting next to us. #cantgowrongwiththisjoint read more

My husband and I came to Semola for dinner after passing it during our afternoon walk. I love pasta and after a week of traveling in Italy, am a sucker for fresh pasta. So seeing their sign that they have fresh pasta drew me in. Semola is a bit off the main path but it gets its fair share of tourists walking by, and I was a bit worried that it only had one other yelp review. The first review said they have been open for 3 months or so, and really yelp doesn't seem too big in Italy anyway. We had SUCH a good dinner, and for a very reasonable price. I forgot to get pics of our main meals, I got the gnocchi alla sorrentina which was really tasty. The gnocchi had the perfect texture and the tomato sauce was really well seasoned with enough cheese to be tasty but not overpowering. My husband got the pasta with lemon sauce and tuna tartare which he said was his best meal in sorrento. Then dessert (you can see my pic) was a fried spaghetti with Nutella and whipped cream on top. It is the most creative dessert I've ever had and it was so good! The service was good and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more
