My husband and I are planning a trip to Sorrento, Italy in late September. Would appreciate recommendations to good restaurants in the area.

My husband and I have been to Sorrento two times and each time we have eaten at Ristorante Bagni Delfino. The food was delicious, the service friendly and the views amazing at the water's edge. We highly recommend it.

We went to Bollicine Wine Bar and Cucina twice last week. It's a little hole in the wall, but a gem. It doesn't have a website, address is Via Dell'Accademia 9/11. Best bruschetta I've ever had.

We had a couple of excellent meals last month at Donna Sophia. Indoor and garden seating.

Pat, not really. From the main pedestrian road, Corso Italia, look for the clock tower, turn north down a narrow road called Guilliani for two blocks to a narrow road called Via dell'Accademia, turn right and it's a couple of shops in on your right. It's not well signed and it's just past Giradinaello restaurant which is owned by the Bollicinie's owner's Father.

Not difficult to find. Sorrento is walkable.
Wife is the chef, husband is out front, and there are several servers and bar tender. Actually, the chef/owners are close friends with the Menottis, Rick Steves' taxi driver family (father, son and now grandson drive). The father recommended it to us when I asked for recommendations, then the son told us about the personal family relationship after our stay as he was driving us to Naples.

I would also highly recommend Donna Sofia. The restaurant is a tribute to Italian actress Sophia Loren and her photos line the walls. The food is delectable and the service is attentive. I will be in Sorrento in November for a week and intend to eat at Donna Sofia every night. If it is not on the menu, ask your waiter about the limoncello cake.

I haven’t been there since 2019 but we’ve really enjoyed having dinner at “Da Filippo” every time we’ve been in Sorrento.
Enjoy your trip!
