    Ravioli
    John M.

    I went back for a second time in 2 days. to be honest, i think it's hard to find bad food in this region of Italy. The place is low key and has outdoor seating that looks up to a 300 year old church which frequently hosts weddings in the spring and summer. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating faces a busy road so it was noisy but the trade off is that church. The owner (Franco) is enthusiastic, speaks some English, great host. Food is excellent, well proportioned. We had the ravioli both days, the zucchini pasta in light white sauce one time. Also ordered a simple pizza to take home as I dined alone on the second night. I can't get enough of that ravioli. Costs are reasonable, about 6 euro for the pizza, 11 ish euro for the ravioli and zucchini pasta. Highly advise if you are in the Sorrento area.

    This is right next to one of many churches in Sant' Agnello/Sorrento. Offers outside seating to n the shade. Variety of menu choices for all. Francisco was lovely to take care of us. He speaks English, which was a benefit to my very limited Italian. We only had lunch and our mixed salad with tuna was a decent size portion. And the typical limoncello was included before we could pay our bill. Credit cards/cash accepted.

    Great, quick, and delicious. Definitely go for one of the specials, you won't regret it.

    We did like the meat and cheese appetizer. The pastas were not good- the lemon pasta was so buttery and oily. The spaghetti was average.

    We shared the lemon pasta and Genovese pasta. We came here already once in December 2024, and it…read morewas as delicious as we remember. Having visited multiple places in Italy and Sicily the last time, this place stood out as one of the favorite spots on our trip. Of course we had to stop by again, and we were not disappointed. When in Sorrento, lemon pasta is a must, but I have the say that the true star was La Genovese pasta, which was recommended by our server. My husband still liked lemon pasta best, which means you really can't go wrong. Their bread was also delicious, particularly the white bread and the breadsticks, and they give you balsamic vinegar and olive oil for it. Considering most of the bread we had in Italy was surprisingly disappointing, it's exciting to eat somewhere that the food is good from start to finish. They also gave us one scoop of limoncello and one scoop of lemon gelato for dessert. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the lemon gelato. This is our second time back, and we would not hesitate to eat here again the next time we're in Sorrento. Servers were also friendly and helpful. The food does take a while, but that goes to show that it all is freshly made. This place is great whether it's for a casual dining experience or for date night. They also have free WiFi, just ask them for the info. I love that it's also a family establishment, and family members work at the restaurant. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here.

Our servers were kind and patient and we even had a chance to meet the owner! I would highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered a variety of pasta dishes. I do not remember the names of the dishes, but my favorite ones were the lemon pasta and the T-none Florentine steak cooked to perfection! The limoncello at the end of our meal topped it off for me! I will certainly return when I come back to Firenze!

    Busy place but worth the wait…read more Our Airbnb host recommended this restaurant for local food at reasonable prices. Apparently every other Airbnb host did the same because there was quite the line waiting to get inside. We waited about 20 minutes and the line moved quickly. Kudos to the staff who were excellent and interacted well with us both while in line an inside while eating. Everyone seemed so happy here. Once seated we ordered drinks and the stuffed zucchini appetizer. The complimentary bread was on target. Very good. One of us had lasagna, another had the fish, another had the Gorgonzola Ravioli and I had the Gorgonzola Gnocchi. I tried all the dishes and they were all yummy. Very well done and tasty. We shared the Lemon Surprise for dessert and it was sublime. So tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant but be prepared to wait in line for seating.

    Oh my goodness. What a meal! You know a restaurant is going to rock when there's no website, no…read morereservations, and a line that starts to form an hour before they open. The entire team and environment here was friendly and welcoming, and then the food did NOT disappoint. You may think that a dinner served in a giant bowl with a volcano shaped cover might mean gimmicky not good food - WRONG! Just fun presentation for one of the most loaded seafood pastas I've ever had. The caprese salad was so fresh and generous, the calamari was light and rich, and the pasta was so perfect. I would recommend everyone come here if you can.

    Booked via the Fork for ease and while it may seem like a more tourist-y spot (in the sense that…read morethe leads are always inviting folks walking by in to view the menu)...Naima is LEGIT. We wanted seafood because when in Sorrento...why not opt for super fresh seafood right by the coast?! Our server recommended a really delicious local red that was super reasonably priced and we enjoyed with said red: For Primi -- *Gnocchi alla sorrentina (Sorrento-style Gnocchi): I mean...we kinda had to get a regional specialty right? Gnocchi here is potato based instead. It was SO delicious - still perfect texture. They also served this HOT HOT HOT with melty cheese. So delicious and a really generous portion!! *Spaghettoni alle vongole (Pasta with Clams): Another favorite for us in general so figured a really fresh version could be stellar and it didn't disappoint! This slightly edged out the gnocchi for me flavor-wise, but the gnocchi was dang good so it just goes to show how DELISH this was!!! For Secondi -- *Grigliata mista di pesce (mixed grilled fish - this was an incredible plate of such fresh seafood. There was various fish, a giant prawn, octopus alll grilled & seasoned to perfection! *Swordfish special! -- apparently it was swordfish season and it was a 'fresh catch' and I feel like you could tell! Really lovely and nicely seasoned. Portions were very generous & we were way too full for dessert at this point! So you could probably eat more "American" style here (Just 1 entree instead of our approach), but the menu here is pretty stellar!!!

    We popped in after a long train ride. We ate inside, and enjoyed reading the reviews graffitied all…read moreover the walls. The food was incredible. To start, we had burrata, bruschetta and mixed salad. All were good. The salad was fresh and crunchy (with lettuce, fennel, radicchio, carrot in a light vinaigrette). The sun-dried tomato bruschetta was delicious (with soft cheese, drizzled with honey). The burrata was also amazing (tomatoes tossed in police oil and salt, surrounding a fresh creamy burrata). We had pastas (gnocchi and ravioli fungi) and chicken. I had the ravioli, which was delicate and scrumptious. Everyone enjoyed their meals, though the chicken was very simple. Finally the service! We were greeted with warmth and the service right through was perfect. Thank you!

    Everything was incredible! We started with the bruschetta and eggplant Parmesan, both were amazing…read morebut I can see why their eggplant parm is one of the most popular/best dishes. Every bite was AMAZING. The servers and staff that we came in contact with were wonderful and attentive. The place itself is nicely decorated, and has a very clean bathroom. I like how staff stays by the door to welcome people in, but they don't badger people on the sidewalk to come in like other places. We're thinking of going back even though we only have a night or two left in Sorrento, it was just that good!
