Sorrento is so beautiful. On one of the bustling side-streets, you'll be fortunate to locate L'Antica Trattoria. Step into another world, one of calm and beauty. The ambiance is very polished, with an atmosphere that perfectly blends timeless Italian elegance with warm Southern Italian hospitality. The setting is enchanting with lush living greenery, lemon trees and beautifully decorated dining spaces, each different from the other, with all being exquisite. Whether you are there for lunch or dinner, you can expect an unforgettable, romantic experience with absolutely delectable food and outstanding wines. The service is excellent - the waiters are attentive without being overbearing or intrusive.
The food is creative and exceptional, showcasing the finest local ingredients. Flavors are vibrant, balanced and presented with impeccable attention to detail. The food captures the essence of the region in every bite. The lemon-infused pasta is worth a trip to L'Antica!!!
I dined here with my two sisters for lunch on a Friday afternoon this June. From the moment we walked in until we departed, we were made to feel so welcomed and as though we were family. It was such a wonderful, wonderful experience. I have to say, too, that this was not a one-off experience. The three of us had lunch here back in November 2025. Same great service, excellent food, delicious wines, and perfect ambiance. One of my sisters and I had a similar experience in 2016. And, the first time I ate at L'Antica Trattoria was in 2002 - I happened into the restaurant by myself, looking for a good lunch. I had no prior knowledge of the restaurant and no one had recommended it to me...just pure luck! The afternoon was so memorable, when I am in Sorrento, I always manage time for an experience at L'Antica Trattoria.
