JT and I enjoyed a very lovely meal here our second night in Sorrento. We were walking around Piazza Tasso and the outdoor space, looking right out into the Piazza looked so inviting and we knew it would be great people-watching. The outdoor space is covered, so in the event of rain, we knew we'd be safe.
First, our waiter was one of the kindest and congenial Italians we came across on our travels. He knew the menu inside and out, was quick to make recommendations and eager to please.
I started with the caprese platter - which featured the freshest tomatoes and mozzarella I think I've ever tasted. The tomatoes were so sweet...it was just amazing. Originally, for my meal I was going to go with a clam and spaghetti dish, but our waiter convinced me to go with the lobster. The lobster in the Mediterranean is very small compared to what I'm used to on the East Coast, however, the flavor and freshness was beyond reproach.
We passed on dessert as we were stuffed (we also housed the bread basket) with pasta and wine...but asking for the check was tough. The waiter didn't want us to go, finally telling JT, "ok, you can go, but the lady...she stays".
Wonderful spot! read more
