AZZ! Italian Tavern

This beautiful restaurant came highly recommended — and wow, it absolutely delivered! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere buzzing, and they were very generous with the wine (which we obviously didn’t complain about!). Definitely a place we’d come back to again and again!

5-stars all around! I must say, we were absolutely blown away at the quality and taste of the food here. So much so, that we actually visited twice in one week! And yes, we waited in line both times for about an hour, but it was totally worth it! We had the garlic bread, meatballs, pizza, Cacio e Pepe, Ravioli, and Gnocchi. The meatballs were so soft and literally melt in your mouth. They are perfectly seasoned and the sauce is so well balanced. I could honestly say these are the best meatballs I’ve ever had. And the pizza was so much better than any pizza I had in Naples too. All the pasta was perfectly cooked and every dish came out steaming hot. A few things to note: Yes, there is a long line every day. But trust me, it is worth the wait. The staff works very hard to get tables cleaned as quickly as possible. Also, the food here takes a lot of time to prepare, because the chef makes everything fresh. Be prepared to wait, relax and enjoy some of their house wine! I cannot wait to come back to Sorrento and visit AZZ! again!

We had the most amazing dining experience here! The cannelloni were by far the best we’ve ever tasted in Italy—perfectly cooked pasta, rich filling, and a sauce that was absolutely unforgettable. To top it all off, the tiramisu was out of this world—light, creamy, and simply the best we’ve had during our entire trip. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and unforgettable dishes, this is the place to go!

Such a lovely little place, family atmosphere, great food. were open off season while a lot of places around were closed. happy I stumbled upon them on a cold evening. Go eat something of theirs, you will defintely enjoy it!

We knew this place was popular and we can see why. The food and service was excellent. We also found that the line moved quickly but didn’t feel rushed to eat. Pictured is the Gnocchi alla Sorrentona and the Fettuccine Alfredo. We also tried the lasagne and two pizzas, as well as desserts which were amazing. Oh and Nino the dog is very cute.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed the carbonara meatballs with fettuccine, and I was equally impressed with the vegetarian lasagna and mixed salad. We are both big fans of tomato sauce, and this was exceptionally well-prepared—personally, it was one of the best I've ever tasted. I highly recommend these two dishes; diners will not be disappointed. Oh! And the desserts are very delicious. Overall , the food and service experience was great.

This place is welcoming and warm, for a quick stop in for an espresso, or a terrific sit-down brunch. The owners greeted us and were very accommodating throughout or meal. The local tomato & greens salad was my standout surprise; the local tomatoes are so juicy and sweet, the greens were refreshing, not bitter, and the light olive oil dressing is simple and citrusy. The owner cooked our tomato soup from scratch per order, the Italian sausage blossomed in the mouth with a uniquely complex flavor, and the eggplant parmigiana is the only one my wife has ever had that was better than her own. This was a perfect lunch for us.

Totally worth the wait! The best food we had in Sorrento! When we arrived, there were three groups ahead of us waiting for a table. When we sat down, there were at least 10 groups deep in line waiting for their table. We ordered bruschetta, caprese, lasagna special with wine, their homemade and most tenderest meatballs we’ve ever had, basically to die for. and their profiteroles (amazing!) A must visit stop while in Sorrento! Due to dietary needs in our party, was looking forward to trying their soup but they were not serving any. No big deal, we were very satisfied with our choices!
