Our group of 5 had lunch here outdoors and it was terrific. The waiters were very friendly and the food was fantastic. We had the deep fried zucchini flowers, crab stuffed pasta and roasted pork with a variety of desserts. A lively band came and played for a while during our meal and that was a treat. We highly recommend... More

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in this ristorante on a quiet side street off the Piazzo Tasso. It is clearly popular with local people and for good reason. We ate there on three occasions. The food was consistently excellent, the service pleasant, efficient and unfussy and the prices very reasobable for a restaurant at the centre of the town.

Great food here and service, this was our first taste of Sorrento dining and we weren't disappointed, just a bit pricey, but we were soon to find out that's not unusual in this town!

This restaurant is down a little street just off the main Tasso Square. It's a truly lovely little spot and the food, service, location and value was terrific. We sat outside in a delightful little area away from the crowded main streets. I felt as if I was in Rome and it was quite a romantic little spot. The waiting... More

We are currently enjoying a long weekend break and we are based in Naples. Today we took a train into Sorrento and came across this wonderful restaurant. Not wanting anything too filling but not wanting to feel unfulfilled we opted for garlic bread bruschetta topped with the most beautiful tastiest tomato's I have had in a long long time, it... More

Lunchtime pizza with four items was without doubt the best pizza we ever ate. Amazing crust, great ingredients and fine service made for a really fine experience.

Excellent restaurant just off main square in sorrento. Absolutely packed with locals by half eight on a Saturday night. Pasta was five star, and rest of food was delicious too. Very attentive waiting staff and always happy to help. Overall a great evening. Great restaurant very central.

Basilica is one of the finest restaurants in Sorrento. Hidden down an ally - it is right off the Piazza Tasso. Paolo, the owner, really knows the business and the kind of food people look for in a resort town. The menu is full of different types of food you wouldn't normally expect and they are all delicious. The place... More

We were told while in Sorrento that this was a restaurant to eat at. We were not disappointed. We had a group of 16 people (from ages 7 - 50 years old) and we had a blast. Our waiter's english was about as good as my italian but it didn't take away from our experience at all. He encouraged us... More
