Restaurant recommendations for Italy, Sorrento, Ravello, Siena

I could use a few more recommendations for restaurants in Sorrento, Amalfi town, Ravello and Siena. Local places moderately priced are perfect. Inexpensive places for lunch or dinners may also be helpful. Thanks!

In Amalfi I had a wonderful meal at Il Tarì. The food, wine and service were excellent. Other than the prix fixe menu on their website, they have a full menu as well as daily specials based on what the sea yielded.

Thank you Philip. I will be in there area in November. Any idea how late the buses might run from Amalfi back to Sorrento?

The seafood salad served at the little bar by the pool at the Hotel Caruso in Ravello is one the best things I ever ate!

Ristorante Salvatore remains the best meal I’ve had in all of Italy. Stunning views on top of the cuisine, reserve ahead for a good table.

In Sorrento, avoid Pizzeria da Franco. It’s a local favorite and has lots of supporters, but it’s not all that good. They serve “Sorrento style” pizza, not Neopolitan. There’s better options.

Here are some that have been recommended for Sorrento on this forum in the past. I haven't used them yet, but will in a few days!

Buon Appetito!

O'Puledrone, at the Marina Grande. We had wonderful grilled fish - very fresh. It's run by a fishermen's co-op.

We also enjoyed Taverna dell'800, Via Accademia 29. Delicious homemade pastas, and very inexpensive.

We also noted Ristorante Gigino at Archi 15. I think the sign said something like Ristorante Pizzariachi (?)

Delfinos in Marina Grande.

Another small, intimate place we have enjoyed is Ristorante O'Murzill. It's located on Via Accademia, #17

Il Leone Rosso Ristorante Pizzeria: Via Marziale 25, 80067, Sorrento, Italy

In Siena, we ate at the Rostorante Taverna Di Cecco, which was in the RS Italy book. SMall place, on a quiet side street but just around the corner from Il Campo. I had the truffle risotto and it was fabulous. Even the house red wine was good. Prices were reasonable.
