Expect to stand in line, but worth the wait. Friendly and family run service. The meatballs were so light and flavorful. Highly recommend! The Arribiatta had just the right amount of spice and the gnocchi was excellent. We saw many plates of lasagna being served and it looked delicious! Quaint interior and slightly intimate ambiance.
Was in Italy in September 2025. Azz! is located on the main street in Sorrento, Italy. If you happen to be visiting Sorrento for a few days and are not sure where to eat, this place is a MUST! The food is fresh, homemade, and made with care and love. The owner is really kind and made sure my parents and I were taken care of. There is a bit of a wait in line if you're going to have dinner here, and that really speaks to how good the food is here. I had the Parmesan Alfredo pasta, my mom had the Gnocchi (which I typically don't eat, but specific dish was just soooo delicious!) and my Dad had a fish dish of some sort that I can't remember. It was all really tasty and I wish I had taken a picture of the food! We were seated outside and the vibe makes you feel like you're eating a home cooked meal.
Azz! Is a small restaurant just off the main drag through the town of Sorrento, Italy. We'd heard a lot of positive things about the place, so we decided to go and check the place out for dinner. When we got there, we realized how small it was, and there was already a small line outside, waiting to be seated. It's rare that I'd line up for food, but I was on holiday and was keeping my initial chances of food in Sorrento high for quality. After a 15mins wait, myself and my two sons were seated. We browsed the menu, which was small but had decent variety. As we looked through the choices of food, a small dog was mulling around the restaurant. It had a sign on it, which said not to feed it (still not sure if it was the owners dog, or some rando off the street). My boys loved trying to get its attention as it passed near our table. In the menu, it pointed out that everything is cooked fresh, so there'll be a longer wait than most places. Please look elsewhere if you want something quick. I'd take that as a good sign. I ordered the Pappardelle ai Funghi Porchini, basically a very wide, thin pasta with a mushroom sauce. One of my boys ordered the Margherita pizza, the other a simple grilled chicken breast and side potatoes. I was surprised at the punch of the mushroom flavour of the sauce, and the pasta was cooked just right. I was very tasty. The son who ordered the Pizza, really enjoyed his, too. Coming to the end days of our trip, he recalled this as being the best pizza he had ever tasted We enjoyed Azz! so much, that we returned again a few days later. It was the only restaurant that we visited twice during our stay in Sorrento. The second time I tried the Penne all'Arrabbiata...which was tomatoey and spicy sauce with penne pasta. Another simple, but very tasty dish. I'd suggest getting there early in the day, say 3 or 4 for dinner, as it can get busy from 6pm onwards. Well worth a visit, and merits it's good scores and reviews.
Kick Azz food!!!! No but for real, we had the gnocchi, caprese salad and calabrese pizza...I wanted to lick eat plate clean! The food was full of flavor, not heavy at all. Rich, clean flavors! Love that it's a family owned business. The mom and daughter take orders and bring out food and the dad cooks. Oh and their cute dog is the best greeter! Loved eating here and will definitely be back for more!
We have been in Italy for 10 days and we have eaten some good Italian food but this was by far the best. I just had a simple penne and red arribiatta sauce but it was absolutely perfect. My little boy gave his chicken a 10 out of 10 and ate the entire thing which is unheard of. What an amazing meal!
My husband and I returned to Sorrento from a long day trip. We were tired and didn't have any reservations. We stumbled upon this quaint little restaurant that had seating indoors and outdoors. That sat us right away. We shared our meal because we had a big lunch in the Amalfi Coast. I ordered the Italian Vine tomato soup and it was delicious. The flavor of the tomatoes with the mixture of seasoning and cheese was just what I wanted. We shared the meatballs which were flavorful and tender. The sauce that covered them was absolutely wonderful. I ordered the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe. The sauce was rich and delicious my husband had the lasagna and it was so good. Sometimes you can get lasagna and it's dry. Not this place! I would definitely come back to this place. The service was great and the restaurant was a great find.

Delicious food, warm service, and a small black pup that is mostly ambivalent to the diners but incredibly cute. I had Prosecco and the gnocchi and it was perfect, even when it began to rain (the staff brought out umbrellas for those not under the awning!). Highly recommend for a relaxed lunch or dinner. read more

We loved Azz! so much our first night in Sorrento that we went back in our last night! It is tiny but worth the wait to get a table. We sat outside both times and enjoyed the experience of the Main Street area. It's a family owned restaurant and they take great pride in what they do.... The mixed salad is the best I've ever had. The Bolognese was to die for! Who knew meat sauce could be SO delicious! If we ever make it back to Sorrento, this would be the first place I would go. read more

If you are in Sorrento, you need to add this place to your list. The place is small and had indoor and outdoor seating. Mom and daughter work the front of the house. We were a party of 6 and had to split up which was fine. The bruschetta was delish, along with the pesto pasta, bolognese pasta, pizza and lasagna. Save room for dessert. The tiramisu ended the meal perfectly. Service was great too. Thank you for the wonderful meal. read more

Azz! Was our first meal in Sorrento. It was absolutely delicious. The ravioli were amazing, the bruschetta was perfect and the Spritz I had was one of my absolute favorite ones ever. We will be going back for lunch and Spritz drinks again before we leave it was so amazing! read more

Wow! All I can say is WOW! I have been eating Italian vegetarian food for almost 2 weeks in the Amalfi Coast and I would say this restaurant had some of the best food of my trip. It's a small little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and most may think to walk by it but I am so glad I didn't. The food was excellent. I went here twice and the second time I took my friends who were visiting. They were also very impressed with the food. I got the penne arrabbiata. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was flavorful. It was one of the best penne arrabbiata's I have had. My husband got the caceo e oglio and the pasta was slightly over cooked in my opinion but the sauce was excellent. As a table, we shared bruscetta and garlic bread. They were both delicious. The garlic bread is a must try. It was so good and melted in our mouths. We all wanted to order more. The bruscetta tasted fresh and was well seasoned. We made friends with a few people at the other table and they told us they have been coming back to this restaurant multiple days in a row because of how impressed they were with the food. Service: Everyone there was very friendly and quick Prices: Very reasonable considering the portion size and I didn't find this place to be expensive compared to Positano, Italy Overall, this is a must go to restaurant in Sorrento. read more

Tomatoes! Tomatoes! Tomatoes! Okay, I was hoping if I said this three times, miraculously Azz! Tomatoes would appear in front of me again. Do not hesitate to try this restaurant, especially the Tomatoes! I've been to several farmer's markets and never truly found great, tasty tomatoes, but when we went to Azz! I found what I've been missing. Hands down, the BEST Tomatoes I've ever eaten: fresh, savory, sweet, balanced, and incredibly flavorful! We ordered the Bruschetta and Caprese (see pictures). I apologize for the half-eaten Caprese picture. We were carried away with how good it was before I realized I hadn't taken a picture. Their menu included a good reminder (see picture); they take the time to prepare your meal, so if you're in a rush "...you are not in the right place." Italian culture and food is all about the experience and the quality of the food. Take the time, enjoy, be present, and definitely try this restaurant. It's worth the wait. read more

Great experience - definitely add this casual bistro in the heart of Sorrento to your itinerary. They have a small, rustic menu featuring some Italian classics, all executed extremely well. We started with the bruschetta, which showcased delicious cherry tomatoes. We couldn't decide on our mains, so we went with pasta (penne and cannelloni) and shared their roasted chicken. The pastas were cooked perfectly, and the chicken was well-seasoned with a nice, crispy skin. Service was prompt. There was a short line, but it moved quickly, so make sure to arrive early. We'll definitely be returning in the future! read more

AMAZING! This place is such a gem and seriously the BEST meal we had in Italy! In fact, we ate here 3 times because we wanted to try as many plates as possible, it's just THAT GOOD. A piece of advice, get there early as there is a line every night of people waiting to eat here. They open at 5:30pm for dinner and don't be surprised to see people lined up at 5pm. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order on this menu, however, their Caprese Salad, Bolognese Pasta, and Meatballs are Incredible! This will be hands down one of the best meals you will have in Sorrento! Dont' walk, run to this restaurant and enjoy! read more

I had a great meal here. I got the special of Lasagna, Garlic Bread and a large pour of a local wine for $17 Euro. I also added a bowl of mushroom soup which was the highlight of the meal for me. A great experience! read more

First and foremost, expect to wait and do not complain about it. They have only a few tables inside and 6-8 outside. You'll know you have arrived when you see Nino (little black dog) outside. He's the restaurant owners pup and he's so cute! We started with the bruschette, which was fresh and phenomenal! For our mains I had the Trofie allá Genovese (pesto pasta), my fiancé had the Spaghettini Al Pomodoro(with tagliatelle, since they were out of spaghetti), we split the meatballs and of course had the house red wine (which we ended up buying a bottle to take home) We we're so stuffed but made room for the chocolate mousse, it was rich, yet light and was the perfect size for us. All in all the food was excellent, service was great and the ambiance is just what you would want in Sorrento! Perfect place for people watching and enjoying the best pasta and wine read more

Absolutely delicious, authentic Italian food. We spent two weeks in Italy - from Rome to Florence to the countryside to of course Sorento. This will be the meal we talk to our friends about. read more

The bruschetta is one of the best, hands down. I've been all over Italia tasting different dishes and this food was delicious. My friend and I split the bolognese and margarita pizza - perfect taste and portions. My fiancé ate the Carbonara Pizza - AMAZING - 5 out of 5. We are eating here again prior to leaving! Get here early because it is tiny and there is a long wait. read more

I've had carbonara pasta before but definitely not pizza and this sent my taste buds on a delightful journey. The limoncello was flavorful and refreshing not too sweet. The service was excellent, I got seated right away and honestly I would've waited anyway. (I'm glad I visited in the coasts off season) Music in the background was a vibe and overall I would definitely recommend. read more
