My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant our first night in Sorrento. Salvatore , the owner, greeted us and sat us down with a complimentary champagne drink! We had a bottle of wine for dinner which was very good. Our appetizers were truly delicious ! We had the bruschetta ( three different kinds: zucchini , eggplant , broccoli rabe). Our favorite was the zucchini. We also had the parmigiana alla chef (I think that's what it was called). It was like eggplant parmigiana to us, very tasty! For dinner we had risotto and steak. Prices were very reasonable. Overall it was a wonderful night and we got to eat outside :) read more

This was perfection for me. A five star experience across the board. Three of the four of us agreed. My friend loved everything until she got to her main course. She said her steak was disappointing. It was "dry and stringy". But for those of us who ordered fish as our main courses, it was perfection. Maybe seafood is their strength. Absolutely LOVED the Medallion of mozzarella in carrozza on tomato coulis and black olive sand. I could have made an entire meal out of that. We then had the pasta linguine with "scapece" zucchini and burrata cheese from Monti Lattari. Highly recommend. Came out beautifully. I was too impatient to eat it that I forgot to take a pic first. It was beautifully plated though. I had the Wood-smoked red snapper fillet. It had a semolina, lemon and saffron crust, and rested upon roasted potato and basil cream. Delicious. Perfectly cooked. I took a bite of the Sea bass fillet with orange sauce and capers. The oranges are grown in the Sorrento garden. I liked the sea bass even more than my own. I've been to Sorrento 4x now and this was easily my favorite meal I've ever had here. read more

The garden sitting of 86Bistro above the street is beautiful and peaceful. Excellent food and experience. We really enjoyed this restaurant, the best dinner in Italy. The fried octopus appetizer was very good My wife's sea bass and my seared tuna were excellent The staff here were friendly and really appreciated their recommendations on wine. They have a good Italian wine list and knowledge of the wine. Highly recommend 86Bistro. read more

Absolutely amazing! We loved our meal here, and we had 2 small kids with us too. We ordered the grilled octopus for an appetizer which was the best grilled octopus I've ever had. Our 5 year old was obsessed with it. The chef brought us out a little tasting plate for each of us which was so fun as well. The espresso martinis are amazing. We had grilled fish, seafood and pasta for dinner and everything was wonderful. The waiters were all so attentive and kind and gave recommendations for other things in the area as well. Such a hidden gem (air airbnb was above it actually) and so glad we ate here!!!! read more

Highly recommend coming here for dinner! We honestly walked by and thought it was a beautiful spot whether inside the restaurant or in the garden. When we saw the reviews we grabbed a reservation and I have no regrets. Ambiance is great, service was great, food was great. We started with the octopus which was beautiful presented and just perfectly basic enough that this was a wonderful combination of roast tomatoes and salt from the olives and capers. Next we split the anchovy garlic pasta which was so delicious (I had my doubts initially) and some sort of white fish over truffle mashed potatoes and smoked. Every flavor of this dish was 10/10 and clearly presentation is outstanding. I would have gone back again if we had the time! In my recommendation list as a must visit if in Sorrento. read more

We were lucky enough to have this restaurant right down the block from our Airbnb and it was fantastic! Every night as we walked by it was crowded (not a huge establishment) and guests looked happy. We had Beef Carpaccio to start and it was delicious. For our meal we shared the wagyu steak and it was to die for! The staff here were some of the friendliest I found in all of Sorrento. Highly recommend stopping here to eat! read more

We stayed in Sorrento for a week and I think this place was the best of them all. Beautiful atmosphere in the multi level patio and gardens. Staff was very attentive. Food was excellent. We loved the cuttlefish with mussels appetizer, the crusted snapper, and the tuna tartare and pasta. Stop by if you get the chance, much better than some touristy spots up off Corso Italia. read more

We had such a nice time here! Ambience was lovely, the service was fantastic and we loved the energy of the waiters. Most importantly though, everything we had here was delicious. The crispy octopus and beef carpaccio were light and full of flavor. Then we had the house pasta with beans and mussels, which had an incredibly complex and rich flavor profile. Overall, we're happy with what we paid and received here!! read more

A very different and modern restaurant in the heart of Sorrento. The owner greeted us with a smile and excellent dining recommendations. The menu is small but it doesn't take away from the variety of meal options. We shared a whole sea bass which was deboned table side as well as octopus and carpaccio. Everything tasted so fresh and was well prepared. Their tiny kitchen is right in the corner of the restaurant and the chefs were hard at work preparing everything cooked to order. If you're looking for a new and fresh menu in Sorrento, I totally recommend stopping by 86! read more

A wonderful find in Sorrento. A little off the beaten path, but worth it. Great wine selection and very friendly local owner.

Family owned , great food , great staff , great food !!!! Highly Recommend!!!! Local Favorite!

I wish I knew this pace existed earlier in our stay. The atmosphere reminds me of back home in Grand Rapids. We had spent enough time reading by the pool, so we thought going to the bookstore then a café would be fun. I was looking for a place to get coffee in the afternoon, and we ended up on a back street behind all the commotion. We saw this place and it looked cool from outside so we went in. We weren't really hungry, but ended up ordering the bistro sampler appetizer platter. It was a lot more food than expected, and we couldn't finish it. Everything was so nice there, and the food was no exception. We got a sample of multiple cheeses and meats and some side dishes from the kitchen neither of us have seen before, but they were delicious. Oh yeah, and the coffee was my favorite I've had all week. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

Amazing food, no tourists, super friendly owner... definitely a must try in any trip to the area, and 10% will be going back the next time we're here. read more

Had 1 of 4 Sorrento dinners here. This was the best! The young owner was attentive if not passionate about his food. We let him choose. The Octopus was good, but the carpaccio and baked snapper were amazing! He recommended a local white wine that was excellent. Best meal we had in southern Italy! read more

We were recently on our honeymoon in Sorrento and wandered in here for dinner on a Sunday night. We're glad we did because we ended up having great food and a great experience. The owner was very friendly and made great recommendations including a local catch of the day cooked to perfection and a delicious local white wine to go with it. We'd definitely recommend stopping into 86 Bistro while visiting Sorrento! read more

Some things they did incredibly well, we wanted fresh well cooked fish and boy did they deliver! The fish was delicate and perfectly seasoned. Service is where they fell short, entrees were served two at a time and it felt like 5 minutes apart. So my table partners were done by the time I received my entree. The wine we ordered was forgot, we reminded the wait staff what we ordered and then finally brought what we ordered. read more

The food hands-down is the best food in all of Sorrento. All these other restaurants are the same old same old, this one put a fresh twist on the freshest seafood out there. The antipasto sampler platter was delicious. I definitely recommend it. My wife had the prawns and rice dish that was spectacular, I had the catch of the day which was sea bream fillet and it was mouthwateringly good! Amazing staff and a great ambiance. A must in Sorrento! read more
