« Back to Sorrento
Eating
Sorrento has no shortage of restaurants , but in the more touristy places service can be slow and the food not up to scratch. If you just want a snack, Bar Rita , Corso Italia 219, can’t be bettered, with a wide array of sandwiches, cakes and other delicious lunch items. Il Buco , Rampe Marina Piccola 11, Piazza San Antonino. Just off the square down a cobbled alley, this is a fine option for lunch or dinner.
La Fenice , Via degli Aranci 11. A great place with a lively atmosphere. Closed Mon.
Giardiniello , Via Accademia 7. Just off Corso Italia, between Piazza Sant’Antonio and Via Tasso, this is a good, inexpensive pizzeria-ristorante with a small garden, specializing in fish, shellfish and barbecued meats. Closed Thurs.
Da Gigino , Via degli Archi 15. A great no-nonsense choice, with excellent pizzas and good pasta and main courses. Closed Tues except July & Sept.
Minervetta , Via del Capo 30. A great scenic option in a pension whose terrace restaurant perches a little way along Via del Capo on the right.
Parruchiano , Corso Italia 71. An enormous restaurant, very favourite locally, with fine food and a wonderful enclosed garden setting. Closed Wed.
Sant’Antonino , Via Santa Maria delle Grazie, off Piazza Sant’Antonino. Terrific pizzas, and a garden as well. No closing day.
