This charming, family-owned restaurant was a PERFECT final meal for our trip to Southern Italy. We were met by a friendly employee who sat us down and asked if we wanted a glass of wine while we waited for our table (we had a reservation). The atmosphere is cute and cozy. We got our table in the alley, which was perfect (Sorrento is full of beautiful alleyways). The pizza was the best I’d had and I’d basically eaten pizza every day for 7 days. My friend and I split a delicious pasta dish so that’s why the portion may look a little small, but it was super delicious and tasted so fresh. The service was great and it was an overall, WONDERFUL experience. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Italian meal with a simply charming atmosphere!

Overall we had a good experience here, out VRBO host recommended this place as “the best” in the area. I had a pizza and it was a little watery/floppy for my liking but it was still delicious. My wife had GF pasta and she did say it wasn’t as good as other places we tired. And we also got gnocchi which was very good. We had a great meal and we were satisfied at the end of the day.

What an unbelievable experience. The food, the music, the atmosphere, the staff, everything is 10/10. Luigi is extremely accommodating and helped recommend places to visit during our time in Sorrento. We couldn’t recommend this family - run restaurant enough!! Just wow!

Amazing food, and very good prices! I was very pleased with literally everything. The carbonara were a bit salty, but I am sure that's just how the recipe is. I also tried some risotto with shrimp and it tasted amazing.

I got the gnocchi alla sorrentina and it was pretty good. My husband got the green shrimp gnocchi and he says it was pretty ok. The fries and the baked potatoes were enjoyable. I didn’t realize we ordered everything potato until halfway through eating LOL. We had leftovers because it was very filling.

This is a cozy little spot off the beaten path in downtown Sorrento. We had the Catalana di Polpo e Gamberi and the Scialatielli Al Frutti di Mare. My son had the former, and it was his first time eating mussels and clams. He demolished it. Servers were indifferent to our presence, which is the only reason this wasn't a 5-star experience.

Lovely meal here and the house wine is delicious. The setting is lovely and very authentic. Service wasn’t very personal but everything came out in good time.
