    Worst Martini in Italy
    Bob M.

    These are what they call martinis. Small, wrong glasses. We asked to sit at a table. Owner said no, only these tables. Poor service. They also ask for tips at the end. Don't tip here.

    Il cibo era delizioso! (The food was delicious). In our day trip along the Almafi Coast, Sorrento is a beautiful seaside town and as we walked along looking for a place to eat, and decided on this place. So glad we did, this place was a hit!!! The food was amazing! Pizza, roasted chicken and veggies, it was all delicious!

    The bread and focaccia brought to our table.

    It was my birthday and eating pasta in Sorrento was a fabulous way to celebrate. We had some wine because -- we were in Italy. The waiters gave us some bread and focaccia before our meal which was very nice. Since I had pasta for lunch I had their risotto with chunks of lobster which was to die for. My husband had the fish which was so fresh with lemons. Everything around Sorrento was served with the amazing local lemons. Since it was my birthday the waiters brought me a gelato with a candle. They were wonderful. See the photos for all the food described here.

    To remember the name of restaurant!

    Our first night in Sorrento. We walked by this place and thought it looked good and ended up back here once we were hungry. They stated by bringing both bruchetta and bread, the best bread I've had in Italy so far. I ordered the spinach and potato gnocchi with salmon sauce and a glass of house white wine. The sauce was a nice cream sauce with a salmon like taste, but no actual pieces of salmon. It was very tasty and light. My friend ordered a salad which looked fresh and good with tomatoes and vegetable soup. She liked the salad and said the soup was fine, nothing special. Service was good and priced were affordable. Had both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors since it was chilly. We were able to watch the cook make the Oscar pizza and bruchetta in the brick oven. Only problem was, I had no room for dessert!

    Fried appetizer, decent

    Generally traveling my rule is to always try something new, but here we are twice. Once for dinner and once for lunch and both days it was my favorite pizza in all of Italy! Sorrento in general is really overwhelming because it's so touristy and there are so many options but L'Abate was the right choice! There are outside inside and covered patio options and although it is a bit more pricey than other restaurants I do think the food was worthwhile. We also had the creme brûlée and a lemon profiterole and both were delicious. Service was generally friendly, menu was in English and staff were also English speaking, they even offer free WiFi. Overall a great restaurant.

    This is a nice and popular restaurant very near the main square of Sorrento and next to the Basilica of S. Antonino. In fact, you will probably have to wait a bit to get a table outside although they always have tables available inside. The food is very good. The ingredients are fresh, not over-seasoned and the portions are huge. We averaged about EUR70 for 2 people (3 courses including wine). The service was very good - attentive without being invasive and any mistakes were quickly corrected. I particularly liked their gnochetti. This was the only restaurant we went back to in our week-long stay in Sorrento. I would recommend you try it if you're in the area.

    This restaurant was my favorite dinner in Sorrento! They came out to sing music 3+ times and were…read moreso fun to sign and dance with. The food was very good. I had the pasta with clams and definitely recommend. The price was reasonable and service was great. Everyone was so friendly!

    Was looking forward to this dinner because of all the good reviews but I'm not quite sure as I felt…read morethe food missed the mark and didn't compare to some of the other Italian food I had this trip. I made a reservation on Google but when I showed up, they didn't have our reservation, apparently they rejected the reservation which is crazy because I'm so used to just making the reservation online and it's automatically confirmed whereas this place indeed sent me a rejection email earlier in the day saying they couldn't confirm the reservation - not something I've ever experienced before since I always just assumed when you make the reservation on Google, it's already confirmed automatically but I will definitely pay closer attention to my emails in the future. Luckily they were able to fit us in but said we had to be done eating in an hour which was fine with me as we weren't trying to have a long dinner. I got the mixed seafood grill and most of it was dry and slightly overcooked, not much flavor. The grilled vegetables were just the cold appetizer grilled vegetables. The homemade pasta with sausage was alright but not amazing. The ambiance was a nice family restaurant with live music. Kind of tucked away down a side street in Sorrento, but close to our hotel. Our waiter was really friendly and funny, that's the only reason I'm giving this four stars as the overall meal was probably closer to 3 or 3.5.

    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!

    An absolute gem in Italy! We had an incredible meal at La Locanda del Gusto. The food was some of…read morethe most authentic Italian cuisine we've had--everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of traditional flavor. You can tell they take pride in every dish they serve. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and were happy to offer recommendations. The atmosphere was charming, cozy, and exactly what you'd hope for in a true local Italian restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Italian food and a memorable dining experience, this place is a must-visit. We would absolutely come back the next time we're in Italy. Highly recommended!
