We made a resso for 7:45 for a Monday and good thing we did. It was packed at that time and the restaurant is pretty big. To start, we had the appetizer with fresh mozzarella, anchovies, sundried tomatoes, olices, Sorrento lemon, and olive oil. This sounds like a really weird combo but everything worked very well together. The mozz helped balance out the acidity of the lemon, and the lemom helped cut the strong flavor of the anchovies. For the main, we had the veal scallopini, which comes with a side of grilled veggies, and the Pizza Nerano, which had zucchini flowers, zucchini, and basil. Don't be fooled by the looks of the veal. It doesn't look like the most appetizing dish in the world, but it was really good. It was perfectly cooked and drenched in this lemon sauce, which we ended up dipping everything else in. The grilled veggies were kind of a soggy mess but again, the lemon sauce helped it go down easier. The pizza was ok because I didn't love the zucchini since it was soggy. I did enjoy the zucchini flowers though. We also ordered this one by accident because we meant to get the one with the zucchini flowers and anchovies so maybe this was our fault. Service is good until you get your food. They don't come by to check on you to see if you want anything else. Since we had an early day the next morning and it was getting late, we knew we weren't going to do dessert so when we were almost done eating, we asked for the check. 20-30 minutes passed, and still no check or sign of our waiter. We ended up just getting up and paying at the front. We were kind of iffy about this restaurant at first because we weren't sure if it was a tourist trap or not. But the food turned out to be pretty good. It was just an issue of getting the bill. If you don't mind that, this is a good option in Sorrento.
While I loved the friendly service enough to return for my next meal at the same restaurant elsewhere, this was more of a refined dining experience rather than a homey one. The skill of preparation was superior, and the prices were not crazy for the location. Servers were professional rather than super friendly (but they were still nice), but the food was the best prepared meal we've had so far, and even the bread was the best of the restaurants we've dined at the whole trip. It was actually good/fresh, instead of just there.
What an absolutely amazing dining experience. I couldn't believe how incredible the food was, for little price. When you arrive, they will ask you if you have reservations. If you do not have a reservation, it will probably tell you that you need to go downstairs and they will give you a table number. When you walk down the flight of stairs, it opens up into seating area, but there's nowhere that tells you what seating table #s. I would just tell the server your number and they will get you seated or have you wait if they're still bussing the table. The food and the service was 10/10. Definitely living up to the high ratings that they have.
Zi'Ntonio is located in the heart of Sorrento and is easily accessible from almost all areas of the city. They have a variety of dishes featuring seafood and other traditional dishes. We started by sharing the calamari, which was plentiful! Next, we split an order of zucchini blossoms which were hearty and rich. I loved the filling in the blossoms. Finally, I opened for the angel hair with zucchini blossoms, shrimp, and saffron for my main dish. It was extremely rich and flavorful. The only drawback is that it was quite a heavy sauce with a lot of mix-ins for such a fine pasta, but it was still delicious despite being a little tough to eat. Service was attentive, though this was our only restaurant in Italy where we felt a little pressured into tipping. Still, the meal was delicious and the vibe in the restaurant is authentic and traditional. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Sorrento.
We tried this place for dinner last night with a group of seven people. We did not need a reservation, and the place was quite packed. They seated us immediately without any problems. The hostess was very kind in helping us to our seats. Our waiter was humorous and joked with us. I ordered the Black Angus steak medium-rare (the best way to have a steak). If you are ever in Naples, Italy, I recommend that you try this place.
My far THE BEST pasta we ate. It came in a Parmesan cheese bowl!! We were STUFFED TO THE MAX. This place from the outside looks small but its grand and huge on the inside. We had pizza and pasta. The ONLY 2 things we ate for a week straight and we NEVER got tired. Service is efficient but not fast depending on the time. We happily exited and were immediately bombarded with a big group of tourists who couldn't find any open places to eat. I immediately hand walked them straight here. Your welcome
We made reservations a day in advance after reading Google reviews. The restaurant is a lot bigger than expected with second levels. The food was great, but not spectacular. We have been eating all over Italy, so our expectations are high by this point..lol. My highlight was the pizza bread drizzle with olive oil. It was warm and crunchy - so delicious! The fried baby squid came in second because it's not a common dish. The waiters are very attentive and expects you to leave a tip by saying "service is not included". FYI - Tipping is not expected but appreciated. We left $10 euros.
Ate here based off of recommendation from a family member and we were not disappointed. This place is down one of Sorrento's narrow streets. If you walked by quickly, you would miss it and it is just off Piazza Tasso. We were on a vacation in Sorrento this past July and did not have a reservation, thinking we could just walk right in, but the place was packed, however the owner gave us a table downstairs and from that point on the experience was magnificent. The staff were conpetant and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back. See pics.
Not sure what the 3.5 stars is all about. This place was delicious, the staff was friendly and Google tells a different story from their 2900+ reviews........this place rocks Came here for the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentini and were treated to fresh, homemade pasta that was baked in a super flavorful tomato sauce with cheese infused to make it gooey and extra delicious. Tiramisu was creamy and delicious The room became jam packed right after we arrived. Thankful we were a bit early. This gnocchi was not to be missed 5 stars all the way
We were in Surrento for a few days and we wanted to try this restaurant from day 1 as I've heard a lot of good comments about it. It has Michelin guide for many years. Unfortunately it was closed for holiday until the last night of our trip. I am so glad that I found the apps thefork that I can made reservation! It didn't disappoint us. The food was so yummy and service was great! Highly recommend. read more

Best mussels I had in Sorrento! They were HUGE! Circling back to the appetizer--the calamari was amazing! The texture was perfect and the taste was fabulous. However, that's where the good stuff ended as the risotto was veryyy salty and the pizza was just okay. read more

Food 10/10, Service 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10, value for the money 10/10! My wife and treated ourselves to this restaurant after returning by ferry from our trip to Positano. We ordered the calamari, anchovies and roasted cherry tomatoes for starter. The anchovies were delicious and the the batter from the calamari was so light and crispy, very delicious! I had the Scialatielli Allo Scoglio while my wife ordered the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina! Both dishes were fantastic and just bursting with flavor!! The next time we visit Sorrento, we will be stopping by this restaurant again! read more

Went there on a rainy day because it is close to the city center. The food portion were big but tasted okay. The veal was very thin, chewy and maybe overcooked. The service was good but the waiter asked us for tip at the end. The couple at the table next to us being Canadians did not get the same treatment. They were not asked for tip. read more

This is a touristy place in sorrento as it's in a prime location and they even have a pre fixed menu they call "the turista menu". We were in sorrento in mid February and this was one of the only places open so we stopped by to give it a try. We opted for the turista menu with an appetizer entree and dessert. The mussels were fresh but extremely salty. The lamb entree was chewy and gamey. We also had the fried shrimp and calamari and unfortunately I've had seafood in a cone that's tasted better. The portion sizes were large and you will be well fed if you get the pre fixe menu, but the food is just average. As other reviews have said, they do come around to all tables and tell you that service charge is not included, and if you pay with card they ask you how much you want to add which is kind of awkward. We saw some tables not add anything and the waiters kind of made a face at them. read more
