    Come here for some authentic Italian food with excellent service. Everyone was accommodating and gracious. They even taught us some new Italian words. The fried zucchini flower was exceptional and the gnocchi was sold but a burst of flavor. The seafood tasted fresh with the homemade pasta. Added bonus, there is live Italian music to set a great mood while you eat.

    Dessert. Pear ricotta

    Both meals were fantastic. The owner was our waiter and had great recommendations. The ricotta pear dessert was the best dessert of our trip.

    TavernAllegra is tucked down a cute little alley and is an adorable restaurant with tables on the path, as well as an indoor dining area. We made a reservation after trying to wait for a table the night before and it was packed. Service was great, we were seated outside and brought fresh bread. The tagliatelle alla Bolognese was so delicious, as was the Linguine all'Astice. I had a lot of lobster pasta in Italy, and this was one of my top fave dishes. I didn't love my fried seafood mix, it was just too much and wasn't super flavorful, but I experienced that throughout Italy, not just here. My fiancée loved his segundi of the beef filet with green pepper sauce. I would absolutely recommend this place for lunch or dinner, it's perfect for a stroll to and from your meal and the ambiance is unbeatable in that little alley.

    Not easy to find because it is behind the building on the main street, so take the side path to the back. Once there, be ready for a great experience! The owner does a lot of table touches and takes your order, so he can answer questions and make recommendations, if asked. The rest of the staff helps with serving and clearing tables. I ordered the Sorrento Kindness cocktail, which is limoncello and prosecco. It was a nice balance of sweet and tart. My first course was swordfish parmigiana with eggplant, which was mostly eggplant, but I enjoyed it very much! I ordered the Sciatiatelli ai frutti di mare as my entree. It's short cut, flat pasta with mussels, octopus, calamari, and clams, and pieces of fish. It was amazing! I found this place thanks to the Yelp app, so trust the app when looking for recommendtions.

    Best meal in Sorrento

    Giuseppe was awesome and the food was amazing! My husband ordered the linguine all' Astice and I ordered the beef cheek in a wine sauce, our favorite meal in Sorrento.

    *Warning for Recommended Sorrento Restaurant* We went to TAVERN ALLEGRA in Sorrento. They will serve you a dish of seafood ravioli at the end of your dining experience. We expressed we did not ask for it many times- we don't even like seafood ravioli. It came and we just moved it around the plate, thought it was a complimentary add on since we just got engaged. The Waiter CHARGED US, was very good rude, and wouldn't remove it until we about walked out. DO NOT GO HERE! This is my only negative experience ever in Italy.

    We stopped in after lunch for a drink, and absolutely loved it. They said they have a large dinner crowd but lunch is light, and we were one of the only groups around. We sat outside in a narrow alley that was exactly as you would picture Italy to be...narrow streets with bricked walls and clothes lines along the balconies. The staff was engaging and courteous, and they made sure we were come and gave great food recommendations. The wine we had (picture added) was pretty good. It was 38 euros, and was a light red. It was almost to the point of having carbonation, but wasn't so to the point it was distracting. We had an appetizer of Bruschetta, but I have to say this isn't an American bruschetta. This had a cheese base with shaved eggplant and fresh cherry tomatoes. It was the best bruschetta I've ever had. We then had dessert which was something we hadn't planned to get...so glad we did. The best we had was the pear and ricotta cheesecake tart. We also had the lemon tort, which was great, but the pear ricotta was the best. Highly recommend, and it's a great escape from the tourist areas.

    The music and service save this place. The ambience was awesome, but the main part of the restaurant, the food was expensive and below average. The octopus was tougher than leather. The ravioli were frozen and the drink was super watered down. So many better places to try in sorrento.

    One of the best meals we had in Italy! Giuseppe treated us like family- so kind and gracious. We will make sure to let all our friends know!

    Tavernallegra in Sorrento!!

    We had a fantastic dinner... best nochi, lasagna was to die for..., linguine lobster couldn't stop moaning... beautiful people here.. they were wonderful, hospitable... we had live music which was old school & absolutely beautiful. I can't recommend them enough,. You must go. Thank you for your wonderful service!

    This place is a hidden gem! You will not be disappointed. Best bruschetta we have ever had. The scialatielli ai frutti di mare was unbelievable and loaded with fresh seafood. Cannot say enough about this place. If you are in Sorrento you must try it!

    After some not so great recommendations from our hotel last few days, I decided to trust my Yelp…read morefriend's reviews and picked this place. Thankfully I did that & we were all pleasantly impressed! Everything was perfection from start to finish. Exceptional service, food & presentation & ambience . If you're visiting Sorrento, Italy you must stop by here!

    Blink and you'd miss it from the street... you walk in (assuming it's a pizzeria) but nope - it's a…read more'fancy place' that you wished you dressed better for. Since this is a tourist town - all the guests kept it casual while the fleet of workers were well-dressed and constantly 'making the rounds' for refills, food, clearing empty plates, you name it. Favorite quote came from the younger twin: "the potato caught me off guard!" - when discussing his lamb special's side, a single compressed potato that floored him. (He would mention this damn potato the rest of our vacation to anyone that would listen!) One quibble: giving us really whack (dull) knives for two dishes that most definitely needed a sharp/serrated blade. (And of course this was the one time none of the staff entered our orbit to ask/complain for something a bit more effective than a darn dessert knife.) Regardless: a (most) memorable dinner. Pro-tip: keep the young one's eyes away from the series of 'donkey' statutes when entering/exiting the front of the ristorante. (Unless you're ready to have 'the talk' with them while on vacation!)

    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!
