A brilliant Slow Food mozzarella bar-restaurant. Head here for
moreish local concoctions like Sorrento-style cheese fondue, buffalo-meat carpaccio and
local
salsiccia
with broccoli. There's a good choice of vegetarian and gluten-free options,
regular cheese tastings, as well as the occasional art exhibition.
La Basilica
ITALIAN, PIZZERIA
€€
(Via S Antonino 12; pizzas €6-12, meals €40; noon-midnight)
Elegant without the attitude,
barrel-vaulted La Basilica serves regional nosh with subtle yet confident twists (think
house-made black
scialatielli
pasta with calamari and
pomodorini
or a decadent dark
chocolate and whisky tart). For a cheaper feed, dig into the excellent wood-fired pizzas.
Ristorante il Buco
CAMPANIAN
€€€
( 081 878 23 54; Rampa Marina Piccola 5; meals €60; 12.30-2.30pm & 7.30-11pm Thu-Tue Feb-
Dec)
Housed in a monks' former wine cellar, this dress-for-dinner restaurant offers far
from monastic-style cuisine. The emphasis is on innovative regional cooking, so expect
modern combos like mozzarella and lemon-stuffed ravioli, or zesty risotto with smoked
provola
cheese, green apple and prawns. Reservations recommended.
Drinking & Nightlife
From wood-panelled wine bars to cocktail-centric cafes, you'll find no shortage of drink-
ing dens in Sorrento.
Cafè Latino
( 081 878 37 18; Vico Fuoro 4a; 10am-1am summer)
Think locked-eyes-over-cocktails
time. This is the place to impress your partner with cocktails (from €7) on the terrace, sur-
rounded by orange and lemon trees. Sip a Mary Pickford (rum, pineapple,
grenadino
and
maraschino) or a glass of chilled white wine. If you can't drag yourselves away, you can
also eat here (meals around €30).
