We had a great dinner here! The food was delicious and the prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the prime location right in the main square. We managed to get an outside table, which gave us the absolute best views for people-watching while we ate. The whole place has such a fun, buzzing energy. It's the perfect spot to grab a bite, sit back, and just take in the Sorrento atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing and right on the plaza. It makes for great people watching and entertainment well into nighttime. We stopped here for a quick lunch me had to wait about 10min to be seated. The Alfredo here was the best thing I've ever had in my life. read more

Looking for another dinner in the center of Sorrento, we ended up at Fauno Bar and it was a perfect choice. The place has a really nice café vibe if you sit outside, but it's also full restaurant service kind of the best of both worlds. Drinks and cocktails were excellent, and you get the added bonus of hearing live music floating over from the square, which makes the atmosphere feel extra lively. I went with the carbonara and it was absolutely top tier no complaints at all. We also got some great apps. Service was friendly and attentive, and honestly, the bill was surprisingly cheap for the quality and location. Overall, Fauno Bar was probably the best spot we hit in the town square when it comes to the combination of food, drinks, and vibes. Highly recommend if you're in Sorrento. read more

Great location, great atmosphere, great selection. Their menu is in several languages. They must have the CLEANEST bathroom in Sorrento. Let's see how the food is. The water bottle was kind of warm. But they did bring glasses with ice, but I think the water bottles on a hot day should be refrigerated. The pizza was excellent. The crackers come packaged, very sanitary. The breaded chicken was fantastic. The salad was delicious. The service was really good as well. Highly recommend. They get a 4.5 Jomehri stars. read more

Our shore excursion of Sorrento included a recommendation for Fauno Bar. We decided to try it. We were seated quickly and greeted by a friendly server. We ordered drinks and quick bites, namely a croissant and tiramisu. The tiramisu was some of the best I've ever had and left me craving more! read more

Love their uniforms, very classy. Our tour included vouchers to get ice cream or a beverage here. Service was excellent: immediate seating, desserts brought quickly to our table. Hubs also ordered a huge extra dessert. We left him to enjoy his 2 desserts and walked down the Main Street in Sorrento. read more

Fauno Bar wasn't our favorite dinner spot, but we enjoyed going there for a croissant and espresso in the morning. They have other baked goods as well if croissants aren't your thing. For dinner, it was pretty noisy if you're seated on the patio. It's next to a busy intersection and the restaurant next to it has live music. We both got aperol spritzes to start, it was a pretty solid spritz. For our first course, I got the cannelloni and my wife got a charcuterie plate. The charcuterie has three types of meat and a side of olive tapenade. The cannelloni was simple but delicious. For our mains we got the swordfish filet and grilled seabass. The swordfish plate had three filets so I was working on it for quite awhile. The seabass was a more reasonable portion, but felt under seasoned. Our servers were all friendly and most of them spoke good English. We were given a shot of cherry liquor as a parting gift which was actually quite nice. read more

Centrally located in Piazza Tasso, Fauna Bar seems to be one of the main restaurants in the tourist hub offering a wide range of well priced cocktails, a large assortment of desserts and ice creams, pizza, pasta and much more. Imagine a cross between The Cheesecake Factory and The Old Spaghetti Factory but with authentic Italian flare. We ate there before on other trips to Sorrento, it was our first meal stop on arrival day, we were not disappointed. Friendly greeting, sat quickly, food came up fast and everything was delicious. In all we ate there 5 times on this trip, I'm posting one review to cover all. A couple of times we arrived and had to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. Instead of us lining up in front we were guided to a seat inside, where we could relax and enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco. Wow, really great customer service. That happened twice. Each time, once seated and ordered, we received a basket of buns, olives and breadsticks - all complimentary. We ordered a lot of dishes, standouts were the Pizza, Fruitti di mare, Veal scallopini, Spaghetti Carbonara and Caprese salad. All excellent. Great service, excellent value. The menu is huge and they also offer hamburgers if you want more American fare. They seem to be open very late and tables turnover quickly. read more

Great spot in the city square to enjoy some food and the atmosphere of Sorrento. We ordered 2 caffè lattes and Focaccia Capresse. The focaccia Capresse was perfect. The Focaccia was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The fresh tomatoes and mozzarella were a great touch on top. Service was good. read more

Located right in the the Piazza Tasso, this was a perfect spot to enjoy meal and glass of wine while soaking in the sun in the heart of Sorrento. Yes, it's touristy, but if you want to be immersed in the scene, grab a table here and idle the time away. This central square is always bustling with people and full of energy as is Fauno Bar. If you see a table open when you pass by, go for it! The entire time I was in Italy, I indulged in pasta daily! I'm from an Italian American family and pasta was always a staple at our house. When home, I try to limit pasta to just one or twice a month but when in Italy, it was pasta and gelato and my favorite pastry, sfogiatelle, everyday! Oh, and wine, lots of red wine. The pasta carbonara here was very good, the simple ingredients of egg yolk, parmigiana reggiano and guancale coming together to make a creamy, salty savory sauce. But it was very, very rich! So we shared the pasta along with a Caprese salad for a very satisfying meal. A friend had the veal scalloping and loved it. The very thin slices of veal quickly sautéed in a lemon, caper & white wine sauce that allowed all the ingredients to shine. read more

I know I know, it's a tourist restaurant but I have to say we had great food and service plus a front row seat to the bustle of the plaza. We ate here 4 times!!! At first for the convenience and waiting for a tour. Then we stopped for morning coffee, but discovered they serve a whole breakfast ! And my lord it is a lot of food. One night to our waiter's surprise we ended up eating in reverse. We stopped for a drink, then had another with a few amazing desserts. Next noticing one friend was getting a bit too tipsy we decided to get some food. We ordered 4 entrees with 4 clean plates. The wait staff cleared the table, put all the entrees in the center so we all served ourselves from each. Our waiter was just laughing with us, it was a great night. We were probably there 3 hours. Now tell me, does that sounds like a place to avoid?? A definite must, check out the pastry case inside, its full of delicious items. Very clean bathrooms too! read more

First, this place reminds of a place in time, where you meet your lover or friend/s, feeling the beauty of the ambiance this place exudes. You feel excited to get a coffee, dessert, a meal whatever the moment calls for. It's busy, it's touristy, it's the place to be. Service is fast and efficient, food is good and the view, well that's a whole other review. This staple has been here for years and I've been lucky to return many times read more

Great place to people watch and have Aperitivo. It is located in the center of Piazza Tasso. I had Pimms and lemon soda twice. It was delicious both times. My friend had the Aperol Spritz and just as good. On our last evening in Sorrento, we had dinner after drinks. The Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and basil was simple, but incredibly delicious. The waiters will leave you alone to enjoy your drinks and view and will not come to you unless you flag them down. read more

We came here as it in the center of the Palazzo and the location is really nice. Other than the location we were really disappointed with the food. I got the vegetable bruscetta and it was just grilled vegetables on bread. There was no seasoning at all. My friend got a fish dish and she said the fish was really tough. She had also ordered the seafood risotto and they completely forgot about the order. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and our server barely visited our table. It was hard to even get water refills. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I would not go back. read more

Came here by tour during Covid-19. Taking a tour at that time was the only way to visit. Suprisingly there weren't really any other visitors that day. The views here are of course the reason to come. Nice views of the Gulf of Napoli, the Vesuvio and the Sorrento Coast. There would also be a beach club, a restaurant and a hotel on site, sharing the same amazing views. I never get enough of the ocean. And just standing here taking the views in was enough for for me. A peaceful sight. Really enjoyed this spot. read more

The food was sub par compared to other local establishments. The spaghetti was too Al Denys and the meat sauce not good. The penne was cooked appropriately but the sauce seemed like it came out of a can. The meatballs were okay. The service was absent; once we got our food the wait staff never came back to check on how the food came out. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water which was delivered pre opened and flat. We do not recommend this establishment. read more

Our tour guide dropped us off smack in the center of town and needing a bathroom break we went here to use the restroom as it was right there and bustling.

Nice little spot in Sorrento for a quick afternoon snack and drink. The coperto offerings were great for the kids who weren't very hungry and were able to snack on some delicious local olives and various bagged treats. The macchiato was made wonderfully and very tasty. The babá was okay but the star of the show was the sfogliatelle (not pictures). Was warm and flaky and had an amazing balance of pastry to filling. I wish we had bought more for the road. The ambience of being in the main city square was great and really enjoyed our visit to this local spot. read more

We stopped in Fauno Bar to grab a bite for lunch. I enjoyed how their tables are situated to face the piazza so we were able to people watch while sharing the lasagna and caprese salad. The caprese was not great. This is such a simple little dish that I make very often and my super straightforward version blows theirs out of the water. If this is what caprese is supposed to be, I'm not a fan. The lasagna was just ok. We make better at home as well. All in all we needed a light lunch since we hadn't eaten all day but I didn't love the food. read more

Low quality- they bank on location and turn over. Very watered down cappuccino, breakfast sandwiches are smashed plain bread (think wonder bread in America) with Oscar Meyer quality sliced ham and cheese. Didn't finish any of my meal. read more

Awful service to African American customers! Seated us and took 30 minutes to take our order (after I flagged waiter down) and then took another 15 minutes before we asked for the check because of the slow service. Didn't allow us to pay with the coupon we had for drinks until I asked for manager we reluctantly gave a refund. However everyone white person that came in after us, was seated, immediately took their orders and food came before our order of beverages!! Manager offered NO apologies ONLY excuses for the terrible service provided to us by his staff read more

I've been leaving some ratings on our Italian vacation along the Malfi coast and the restaurants we've been to. And I've marked out most of them have been underwhelming from a food perspective. I have to tell you overall this was the best restaurant we've been to It's busy and if there's a line they bring you to a waiting area and give you some Prosecco. Then they sit down and all the food was better than average to excellent (we should not be a surprise in this area, but it is). Then they finish it off with an aperitif. Wish I came here the first night. Service excellent AND the price point was perfection. Super value. You won't be disappointed. Pizza and Caesar salad are the better than OK ...but not the thing you write home about. The Minestrone was exceptional. I had spaghetti and meatballs.... Excellent. Calamari exceptional. read more

While on a shore excursion, this restaurant was recommended by others. The restaurant was packed and had a lively atmosphere.

Would recommend to others. read more

Service was mediocre at best. Went for lunch in the afternoon as it was a busy place however place the order, got our food, and then never saw anyone again. Had to ask for the check 3 times and had to wave down the server several times before he reached a point where he could no longer ignore us any further. Would not bother again as there are far more restaurants in the area that gave more common decency to patrons. read more

Horrible. Tourist Trap. DO NOT GO HERE! My wife and I chose to eat here on a Friday night for a few reasons 1) they had a big patio and we had our 7 month old with us-we figured if our daughter cried it wouldn't bother as many people if we were sitting outside, 2) The place had good ratings online (Google, Yelp, and Four Square), 3) the place was packed. Well, my daughter didn't cry, but I sure did. We ordered a marinara pizza, the lasagna, and a salad. The pizza was so heavy on garlic, it was gross. The lasagna was legitimately worse than Stouffer's frozen lasagna back in the US. The salad came out in a pool of water-it was clear they'd just washed the lettuce and thrown it directly on the plate soaking wet. Not only did our meal suck, the table next to us sent both of their dishes back and said, "It has no flavor?!" to the waiter. I was waiting to see what the kitchen was going to do about their comments, because I'm positive no flavor was coming out of that kitchen. Unfortunately, we had to leave before I could see how their complaint was resolved. Go anywhere else. You do not want to go to this place. Any random restaurant will be better than this place. read more
