    Margarita pizza and calamari a la grilla
    Luis M.

    Avoided the ridiculous hotel laundering prices and instead walked next door to this restaurant to do laundry. Decided to get a bite while I waited and boy was I in for a sensationally cooked meal. The grilled calamari had a distinct slight smoky char mixed with lemon taste unbridled by any of the heavily breaded so called calamari I've ever eaten back in the states. The margarita pizza,, truly a blessing disguised as a typically pedestrian uninspiring order, boasted the organic flavors of its fresh ingredients cooked to perfection in their wood oven. Perhaps it's my Las Vegas Strip prejudices, but don't be fooled by the inelegant atmosphere or intimidated the noisy street next to the restaurant but even these potential criticisms are squelched by noting that the city street is lined with unexpected' orange trees!

    Great Pizza!!!
    Ray A.

    What a wonderful dining experience. The Marg pizza was fantastic and the pesto ravioli was to die for. It had a lemon taste the developed about 3 seconds after taking a bite. I mean Wow! This by far was the best restaurants in Sorrento for me... I can't wait for my return to Sorrento!

    cavatelli spada e scarmoza
    Luran Y.

    After four hours in transit, my friends and I stopped by another restaurant for dinner. When they turned us away we came to La Fenice, who kindly let us dine even though they were about to close. Fate was surely on our side that night. Not only was the food cheaper, it was delicious!! Two of us got the cavatelli with swordfish and scarmoza. The portion was big but it was so good that we both finished it. The melted cheese and occasional bit of swordfish were a perfect pair.

    Pomodoro pasta and bolognese!

    Amazing pasta...best we've had in Sorrento (and we've had a lot). Not touristy and the food had FLAVOR, something we've missed in a lot of food in Sorrento. Service was kind and the atmosphere gave local, family, and casual. We'll be returning for a second night. We had the Bolognese and the Pomodoro pasta. Would recommend!

    Wow!!! The gluten free pizza is insane. Gnocchi incredible. Really good service. Friendly.

    Fruitti di Mare
    Michael L.

    This was the first Italian seafood restaurant we hit in sorrento. Portions were on the moderate. Very fresh seafood. We ordered: Fruitti di Mare: pasta with clams and mussels. Didn't blow me away like I expected. Mussels w/garlic: a nice appetizer. Simple and a nice amount of mussels. King prawns: I think my wife expected something different. It was just four big prawns in a red sauce. I think she was hoping for pasta to be served with it. Service was good like all the restaurants in Italy. A little pricey and not great bang for your (euro) buck. But decent food nonetheless.

    Loved this place. The staff were the nicest I experienced in Italy. The spaghetti carbonara was perfectly spiced and the lasagna was delicate, rich and light all at the same time (I know that doesn't make sense but you have to try it to understand). I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Sorrento!

    That lasagna was sooooooo gooooood!!!!!!
    Geoff M.

    We hired a driver to take us down the coast and when we asked for a good restaurant he suggested this place- and he was right!!! The lasagna was sooooo goooood! It was thick with meat and lots of cheese and just so good! The fish was hand trimmed for you at the table and was delicious in the sauce! The wine came with peaches in it- what a nice treat since I love peaches and used this as my dessert! The only bad thing is it was located near a hospital so there was a lot of sirens going by... so I do not recommend this place for a romantic evening but if your hungry you should stop in!!!

    Eh. For a restaurant in a tourist town, it's fine (I give the overall experience 3 stars). I give the gnocchi with salmon 2 stars. Hard to find good places to eat in this fisherman town gone tourist...

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.

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.

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.

    We found this place by looking on The Fork and Yelp. The ratings were spot on…read more The atmosphere is casual but cozy. The staff was super friendly and made some great recommendations. We started with the Fiori de zuccha ripieni and it was phenomenal. It was lightly fried with a slight crisp outer crust and the cheese was creamy. A delightful starter. We also had the Provola affumicata e salame calabro crostoni. The salame was spicy but delicious. The dough had amazing flavors of garlic and cheese. It was simply delightful. My husband had the sea bass in a lemon butter sauce with potato's. The potato's had a nice crisp on the outside. I had the special of the day, which was the ragu with sausage, meatballs and short ribs. The pasta was similar to a rigatoni but bigger. The sauce was delicious. Their house wine was a perfect touch to pair with our meal. We ended it with some limoncello. We were too full to eat any dessert. I'm sure it would have been delicious. After each course, they brought out clean silverware, which is a nice touch. I also noticed that a lot of restaurants throughout Italy plays American music but this restaurant played Italian music which was a nice touch.

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!!!
