A family owned business over many generations, they do food, service and showmanship right. A delightful flare for describing their specials and menu items. Located in Praiano, you'll find yourself in a postcard type setting with a beautiful Lemon Garden surrounding you and overlooking a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. While the menu was amazing and extensive, I was in the mood for something that wasn't on the menu. So I asked the maître d' if he could accommodate me. Well he was beaming ear to ear because it was one of his favorite meals. He said absolutely we can. I finished every bit of this amazing Linguini and mussels in a tomato basil sauce. It was so good I think I could have done a second helping of it. lol A delicious vino and an, out of this world, tiramisu made for a wonderful experience and fantastic meal. But they weren't done yet. A complimentary toast with a shot of Limoncello was the cherry on top.

We had a bottle of wine for dinner which was very good. Our appetizers were truly delicious ! We had the bruschetta ( three different kinds: zucchini , eggplant , broccoli rabe). Our favorite was the zucchini. We also had the parmigiana alla chef (I think that's what it was called). It was like eggplant parmigiana to us, very tasty! For dinner we had risotto and steak. Prices were very reasonable. Overall it was a wonderful night and we got to eat outside :)

This is what they mean when they say "hidden gem" lol. But please use your yelp map, google map or whatever you have to find this place. Wonderful old school Italian atmosphere with a family-run business and live music entertainment performing all the old Italian classics. Delicious authentic food and friendly staff. This is what true Italian food and culture is about. Guiseppe and his wife were wonderful and engaging. A delightful addition to a fabulous meal. On the owners recommendation I tried the Ravioli di mare - A homemade ravioli stuffed with clams and seabass in a cherry tomato sauce. It was magnifico! I'm so glad I took his recommendation. A truly wonderful experience from locally owned husband and wife. Put this one your "must try" list.

The owner gave us the true Italian experience and even hand fed my sister so she would finish all of her meal - it was hilarious!!!

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.
