Filetto al pepe verde
Ellen H.

TavernAllegra is tucked down a cute little alley and is an adorable restaurant with tables on the path, as well as an indoor dining area. We made a reservation after trying to wait for a table the night before and it was packed. Service was great, we were seated outside and brought fresh bread. The tagliatelle alla Bolognese was so delicious, as was the Linguine all'Astice. I had a lot of lobster pasta in Italy, and this was one of my top fave dishes. I didn't love my fried seafood mix, it was just too much and wasn't super flavorful, but I experienced that throughout Italy, not just here. My fiancée loved his segundi of the beef filet with green pepper sauce. I would absolutely recommend this place for lunch or dinner, it's perfect for a stroll to and from your meal and the ambiance is unbeatable in that little alley.

Sorrento Kindness

Not easy to find because it is behind the building on the main street, so take the side path to the back. Once there, be ready for a great experience! The owner does a lot of table touches and takes your order, so he can answer questions and make recommendations, if asked. The rest of the staff helps with serving and clearing tables. I ordered the Sorrento Kindness cocktail, which is limoncello and prosecco. It was a nice balance of sweet and tart. My first course was swordfish parmigiana with eggplant, which was mostly eggplant, but I enjoyed it very much! I ordered the Sciatiatelli ai frutti di mare as my entree. It's short cut, flat pasta with mussels, octopus, calamari, and clams, and pieces of fish. It was amazing! I found this place thanks to the Yelp app, so trust the app when looking for recommendtions.

Best meal in Sorrento

Giuseppe was awesome and the food was amazing! My husband ordered the linguine all' Astice and I ordered the beef cheek in a wine sauce, our favorite meal in Sorrento.

We stopped in after lunch for a drink, and absolutely loved it. They said they have a large dinner crowd but lunch is light, and we were one of the only groups around. We sat outside in a narrow alley that was exactly as you would picture Italy to be...narrow streets with bricked walls and clothes lines along the balconies. The staff was engaging and courteous, and they made sure we were come and gave great food recommendations. The wine we had (picture added) was pretty good. It was 38 euros, and was a light red. It was almost to the point of having carbonation, but wasn't so to the point it was distracting. We had an appetizer of Bruschetta, but I have to say this isn't an American bruschetta. This had a cheese base with shaved eggplant and fresh cherry tomatoes. It was the best bruschetta I've ever had. We then had dessert which was something we hadn't planned to get...so glad we did. The best we had was the pear and ricotta cheesecake tart. We also had the lemon tort, which was great, but the pear ricotta was the best. Highly recommend, and it's a great escape from the tourist areas.

Receipt OF FRAUD

*Warning for Recommended Sorrento Restaurant* We went to TAVERN ALLEGRA in Sorrento. They will serve you a dish of seafood ravioli at the end of your dining experience. We expressed we did not ask for it many times- we don't even like seafood ravioli. It came and we just moved it around the plate, thought it was a complimentary add on since we just got engaged. The Waiter CHARGED US, was very good rude, and wouldn't remove it until we about walked out. DO NOT GO HERE! This is my only negative experience ever in Italy.

The music and service save this place. The ambience was awesome, but the main part of the restaurant, the food was expensive and below average. The octopus was tougher than leather. The ravioli were frozen and the drink was super watered down. So many better places to try in sorrento.

One of the best meals we had in Italy! Giuseppe treated us like family- so kind and gracious. We will make sure to let all our friends know!

Tavernallegra in Sorrento!!

We had a fantastic dinner... best nochi, lasagna was to die for..., linguine lobster couldn't stop moaning... beautiful people here.. they were wonderful, hospitable... we had live music which was old school & absolutely beautiful. I can't recommend them enough,. You must go. Thank you for your wonderful service!

Short pasta with seafood
Carol K.

This place is a hidden gem! You will not be disappointed. Best bruschetta we have ever had. The scialatielli ai frutti di mare was unbelievable and loaded with fresh seafood. Cannot say enough about this place. If you are in Sorrento you must try it!

Booked via the Fork for ease and while it may seem like a more tourist-y spot (in the sense that…read morethe leads are always inviting folks walking by in to view the menu)...Naima is LEGIT. We wanted seafood because when in Sorrento...why not opt for super fresh seafood right by the coast?! Our server recommended a really delicious local red that was super reasonably priced and we enjoyed with said red: For Primi -- *Gnocchi alla sorrentina (Sorrento-style Gnocchi): I mean...we kinda had to get a regional specialty right? Gnocchi here is potato based instead. It was SO delicious - still perfect texture. They also served this HOT HOT HOT with melty cheese. So delicious and a really generous portion!! *Spaghettoni alle vongole (Pasta with Clams): Another favorite for us in general so figured a really fresh version could be stellar and it didn't disappoint! This slightly edged out the gnocchi for me flavor-wise, but the gnocchi was dang good so it just goes to show how DELISH this was!!! For Secondi -- *Grigliata mista di pesce (mixed grilled fish - this was an incredible plate of such fresh seafood. There was various fish, a giant prawn, octopus alll grilled & seasoned to perfection! *Swordfish special! -- apparently it was swordfish season and it was a 'fresh catch' and I feel like you could tell! Really lovely and nicely seasoned. Portions were very generous & we were way too full for dessert at this point! So you could probably eat more "American" style here (Just 1 entree instead of our approach), but the menu here is pretty stellar!!!

Saw Naima on Yelp and figured it was worth a shot. Restaurant is modern, with bright decor. Waiter…read morewas working hard! He also helped with recommendations. I had been bit by a crab a number of times at Amalfi earlier in the day. I decided to return the favor and had the excellent crab with squid ink pasta. I will say that the crab was a lot of work, it was also a delicious crab. The squid ink pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Added a second course of a local fish with cherry tomatoes, also delicious. Family enjoyed their dinner as well.

We popped in after a long train ride. We ate inside, and enjoyed reading the reviews graffitied all…read moreover the walls. The food was incredible. To start, we had burrata, bruschetta and mixed salad. All were good. The salad was fresh and crunchy (with lettuce, fennel, radicchio, carrot in a light vinaigrette). The sun-dried tomato bruschetta was delicious (with soft cheese, drizzled with honey). The burrata was also amazing (tomatoes tossed in police oil and salt, surrounding a fresh creamy burrata). We had pastas (gnocchi and ravioli fungi) and chicken. I had the ravioli, which was delicate and scrumptious. Everyone enjoyed their meals, though the chicken was very simple. Finally the service! We were greeted with warmth and the service right through was perfect. Thank you!

Everything was incredible! We started with the bruschetta and eggplant Parmesan, both were amazing…read morebut I can see why their eggplant parm is one of the most popular/best dishes. Every bite was AMAZING. The servers and staff that we came in contact with were wonderful and attentive. The place itself is nicely decorated, and has a very clean bathroom. I like how staff stays by the door to welcome people in, but they don't badger people on the sidewalk to come in like other places. We're thinking of going back even though we only have a night or two left in Sorrento, it was just that good!
