We started with the Fiori de zuccha ripieni and it was phenomenal. It was lightly fried with a slight crisp outer crust and the cheese was creamy. A delightful starter. We also had the Provola affumicata e salame calabro crostoni. The salame was spicy but delicious. The dough had amazing flavors of garlic and cheese. It was simply delightful. My husband had the sea bass in a lemon butter sauce with potato's. The potato's had a nice crisp on the outside. I had the special of the day, which was the ragu with sausage, meatballs and short ribs. The pasta was similar to a rigatoni but bigger. The sauce was delicious. Their house wine was a perfect touch to pair with our meal. We ended it with some limoncello. We were too full to eat any dessert. I'm sure it would have been delicious. After each course, they brought out clean silverware, which is a nice touch. I also noticed that a lot of restaurants throughout Italy plays American music but this restaurant played Italian music which was a nice touch.

His suggestions were spot-on, and he even prepared a frutti di mare that wasn't on the menu -- absolutely fantastic. He also offered me seasonal peppers to include in my pasta tried it ..loved it!, helpful tip that showed his attention to detail. And hands down, it was the best limoncello I had during my visit to Sorrento. The restaurant is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the main shops, but we scored with a local market right next door. A must-try experience!

We had spent the entire day travelling the Amalfi coast in a small boat so by the time we got back…read moreto our Airbnb, we were exhausted. We obviously needed dinner, and were not about to just have our breakfast provisions for dinner. After a quick google search, we saw Torna a Surriento Trattoria, with great reviews across all platforms, especially Yelp, was a 1 minute walk from us. I could see it from our driveway. This was the answer. We got there about 3 min before opening and there were already people waiting to be seated. Quite the good sign. After about 15 min from being seated, the place was almost full. The restaurant screams homey, in the best ways. It's bright and cheerful, with eclectic decorations that aren't over the top annoying or too busy. The tables are laid out well and spaced nicely. And it was clean. The wall decorations and other stuff around weren't covered in dust. I loved that. The value here is incredible. I read quite a few reviews saying stuff like, oh the high ratings are because the food is so cheap. Yes, the food is inexpensive but it's home cooking. It was delicious. I went to a 1 star Michelin restaurant while in Sorrento and spent literally 1000 Euro for the two of us. I'm not saying that experience wasn't amazing, because it was, I would do it again. But I would abso-freaking-lutely come back to eat at this restaurant at about 100 Euro for 4 people, including cocktails and wine. the king prawn on the Scialatiello allo scoglio was so tender and delicious, I have nasty daydreams about it. I can't say that about the prawn dish I had at the starred restaurant. Now was everything a hit? No. I wasn't a fan of cold broccoli rabe on our starter and thought there would be more fried fish, but the elements on it were delicious, save the broccoli. Also, this place is a good time. Check out their website/Facebook page. The singing and absolute joy is what we experienced and even I, the person who hates being sung to with a vehement passion, the secondhand embarrassment is super real with me, enjoyed myself.

It not the most high end wine, but it tastes decent. The house bread was perfectly baked. We got an order of gnocchi Sorrentino and a broccoli pasta. Both were delicious, but I wouldn't order the broccoli pasta unless you really like the taste of broccoli. Ended with meloncello which was creamy and sweet - the best digestive and a welcome change after all the limoncello we'd had!

Giuseppe was super responsive, organized pick-up and drop-off for us and ended up being our server for the evening as well. The salad we had to start (with the avocados) was a very delicious start. We had a few pastas and a pizza all of which we enjoyed and the bottle of red recommended by Giuseppe was also another winner that I wish I could remember. If you find yourself planning an Amalfi trip, you should add Taverna Del Leone because you'll be very happy you did!

Food and service has always been consistently fantastic. However, on our recent visit, the service…read moreleft much to be desired. Throughout the evening we felt somewhat forgotten and unattended to. We needed to ask for olive oil and remind the server to bring our sparkling water. Little help was offered nor suggestions given when ordering the wine. Our server never checked on us mid-meal to see if all was satisfactory. We needed to ask another server for our check and once it arrived, the server ignored us again. My husband had to approach the cashier in order to pay our check. Unacceptable. To cap off the lack of service, we were ignored once again and had to wait over 30 minutes for the shuttle to return us to our hotel. We give high marks for food; low marks for service.

We both ordered the same main dish -- chicken limone with roasted potatoes -- and I added the fresh homemade pasta on the side. What a combination! The bread was delicious too; I couldn't resist setting up my own olive oil, Parmesan, and cracked black pepper dipping plate. This place is an absolute gem and definitely a tough one to get into. I highly recommend making a reservation, even during the slower seasons. Don't miss out -- go and enjoy this truly wonderful restaurant.
