Absolutely the best restaurant in Sorrento! Everything was so delicious — truly amazing food. The chef, who is also the owner, cooks with such passion and skill. We ordered four different dishes, and every single one was perfect — full of flavor and beautifully made. We finished everything! The prices were also very reasonable for the quality. Couldn’t recommend this place more — a real gem and a must-try in Sorrento!

I feel so lucky to have found this restaurant during my trip to Italy. It’s a small family-run place owned by a lovely couple, and every single dish we tried was amazing. We ordered seafood spaghetti, carbonara, octopus salad, sautéed mushrooms, and tiramisu — everything was delicious, reasonably priced, and generously portioned. The seafood pasta, in particular, was the best pasta I’ve had during my two-week trip in Italy. The owners were incredibly kind and warm, which made the experience even more special. We’re planning to go back again tonight. It was a dinner that filled both our stomachs and hearts. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this place. Food is phenomenal and the owners are lovely. Tiramisu is the best we’ve had, fluffy, light and tall. Seafood pasta was a very generous portion and Gnocchi Sorrentina was saucy, cheesy and delicious. Reasonable prices with excellent quality service & food.

Great little hole in the wall. Cute little place, great service and delicious food. We visited one night b/c it had such good reviews. They only had a few small tables outside the shop. They were very accommodating to get us to sit and enjoy dinner, despite all the tables were occupied. Hopefully they'll be able to expand and allow for more tables! This place definitely was one of our food highlights of our Italy trip. Food was great!!

BEST food find in Sorrento! My friend and I stayed in Sorrento for 3 nights and ate here every night after a long day of exploring nearby areas. They serve amazing food which were extremely affordable. The chef/owner/staff were all so friendly and accommodating. P.S. Most photos posted here are with rice because as an Asian, rice is my comfort food but they also serve amazing pasta and other Italian food.

Amazing food! I want to come back for food. The place may be small and not what you really expect but I love their food. We ordered a bunch and I love their octopus salad, seafood spaghetti, and baccala. We asked for another small dish and chef made us this Italian appetizer eggplant and shrimp roll.

We stumbled upon this small restaurant and it’s the best meal we’ve ever had since arrival in Sorrento. We’ve been here for a few nights and had tried different restaurants. You only tasted fresh ingredients and the love and hospitality of the owner and chef. It is a small place but the dishes were prepared full of love. The tiramisu was made by the owner’s mother and it’s their family recipe. You have to try this restaurant when you’re in Sorrento.
