They picked up the phone, made a call, and a table was secured. We walked over, and were immediately seated. The waiter brought a box of multiple shapes of pasta, explained what each was called, and which sauces were appropriate with each. We ended up ordering caprese salad (the freshest buffalo mozzarella we ever had), one pasta, and the bread loaf filled with meatballs and ragu. We were in heaven, and the portions were tremendous. We left stuffed, satisfied, and paid about 45 euros for the meal. Highly recommended!

A vegetarian Ragu with seitan. This place is known for great ragu, which is meat based. But they offer a vegitarian version that was very good. I got a mushroom pasta dish that was very tatsy and filling. I could only eat half due to how filling it was. My wife got an Aperol spritz and I got an italian beer. If we were back in the area we'd likely stop back in to rty other options on their large menu.

Overall the food was delicious. This penne was so cheesy and tomatoey. The mussels were cooked in a simple salt and pepper broth really allowing their natural flavors to pop. Both the mussels and the lemons were from the Almafi coast!

While receiving the overview, we didn't know what to choose: everything sounded exquisite and delicious. We had a mix of a starter and a "primo piatto" and two "secondi" to finish. Every dish was nicely presented and equally tasty as we imagined during the menu overview. Needless to say we were very happy to have found this place!

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.

The doors opened unexpectedly and Franco Pepe poked out his head and shouted out "Buenaserra!". Before they started calling out the reservations, a large wedding party was ushered in for a reception! It was an unexpected surprise that only added to the joy of eating at this establishment for the first time. Fried appetizers are common at Naples' pizzerias. They were uniformly good everywhere but these were the best we had on the trip ROCCO: Cone with 12-month Grana Padano DOP fondue, pecorino cheese,Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomatoes, dried Casertano pork sausage, chili pepper, pecorino chips, basil. CIRO: Cone with 12-monthGrana Padano DOP fondue, rocket pesto, dehydrated Caiazzo black olives. As a side note, most pizzerias did not have any salads or vegetable sides. Now for the pizzas. PORKASERTA: San Marzano tomatoes, fiordilatte cheese, smoked scamorza cheese, dried Casertano pork sausage, oregano and EVOO. This is the pizza that will haunt my dreams. The aroma of the pizza was indescribably porky, and the flavor was the most porky thing I've ever eaten. The "dried sausage" had wonderfully soft fat, and the slices were a little less than a ¼" thick. MARGHERITA SBAGLIATA: Campana DOP Buffalo mozzarella cheese, purée of "riccio" tomatoes, basil reduction, EVOO. This is the pizza that Franco Pepe is known for. It was good and I'm glad we tried it, but I did not find it to be a major improvement over a normal Margherita. LA PICCANTE: Fiordilatte cheese, San Marzano tomato, spicy salami, oregano and EVOO. This was my second favorite pizza that we tried here. RICOTTA E PISTACCHIO: Cheesecake al pistacchio della pasticceria Pepe. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The waiters at most of the pizzerias we visited were extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of pizza. I found out that they use a custom flour, the dough ball weight is 281 grams and the bake time is about 2 minutes (which I verified by watching their kitchen cam TV on the dining room wall). The pizzas all had more cheese than I was expecting. The crust was extremely light and it was not salty like Da Michele. I'd estimate it to be under 3%. They do use a bit of old dough as part of their fermentation process. Getting to meet Franco Pepe was the cherry on top. He's not a schmoozer, but he did briefly visit all the dining areas. This was our overall favorite pizzeria we visited and it's very possibly the best Neapolitan pizza in the world.

Continues to be the go-to pizza lover spot. Can't say enough of the memories created here.read more
