When we arrived at 7:30 it was us and 1 other couple which made me a bit nervous but by 8:00 the place was completely full! The mushroom salad with shaved cheese on top was delicious, as was the mixed grill . The plate included fish, langostino , squid, & shrimp which was all grilled with a drizzle of olive... More

There is nothing really terrible about La Fenice, but nothing really that good about it either. The food is OK but not at all creative or unique. The service was good once we told the waiter to slow down a bit. We had the sautéed mussels for a starter, the pasta with sausage and artichokes, the house red wine, and... More

We had a pizza here for lunch. It was very tasty and the wine was good too. The restaurant is very nice with lots of greenery, however, I came out with about 5 mosquito bites so go prepared. Overall, we thought it was a good place to eat.

We chose this restaurant randomly and were so glad we happened upon it! The staff was very warm and welcoming and did a great job of being both attentive and sensitive to our desire to have a family dining experience We ordered a variety of entrees from pasta to seafood and were all very happy with our choices. The hardworking... More

A dedicated gluten-free menu, friendly and efficient service, good food, real atmosphere with many Italians eating there, and all at a reasonable price.

Perfectly fine experience at La Fenice. Full of locals, when other places nearby were nearly empty. Service about on par for Italy. I made the mistake of ordering veal with cognac sauce - not only plain and uninteresting, but just not right in some way. They took it back without hesitation and allowed me to order another dish. We ended... More

We had just arrived in Sorrento & I asked our driver where to eat lunch nit too far from Hotel Minerva he suggested La Fenice. It was easy to walk to and the staff was very friendly. Caprese salad and mussels were my lunch and I was not disappointed. Not great views but I would recommend them for sure. Giovanna... More

Food, atmosphere, good wait staff. They often serve a limoncello after dinner gratis. Very near our hotel on the south side of town. Off the main road.

We went there on our last night in Sorrento. It is a little out of the central Sorrento but not far to walk to. Service was OK even though the waiters seemed overworked and probably on peak season it can get too slow. For starters we had the "Black noodles with courgette flowers and shrimps" which was great and a... More
