L'Antica Trattoria

We had an amazing dining experience at L'Antica Trattoria! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and while it’s a bit more expensive, it’s absolutely worth every euro. The food was outstanding: fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Our waiter, Luigi, made the evening unforgettable. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His recommendations were spot-on, especially the calamari, it was the best we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the little touches made the meal special: complimentary bites to kick things off, incredible olive oil, a lemon pasta that blew me away, my wife had a special concoction of clams, mussels, and tomatoes, and a perfect pastry at the end that truly deserves a chef’s kiss. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Sorrento: delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond.

First of all you need to make reservations in advance. We were welcomed with a glass of prosseco and some amuse buche. You should also try their bread with olive oil and salt. We ordered calamari and red prawns for appetizers. They were both good but red prawns were impressive. For main we had cacio e pepe & see bass. Excelent. And for desert we had chef fantasy pastiera&tiramisu. But we also get a profiterol for free. The ambiance was great. The wine was spectacular. Our host Antonino made us feel very good and welcomed and did not rush us. Make sure not to eat when you come here because you will be full.

‏Excellent restaurant! We ordered very tasty pasta dishes, don't miss the lemon pasta (also available without shrimp). The staff is very friendly and helpful. We made a reservation through the hotel reception.

So good that I went back the next day. I went there for a tasting lunch, just after arriving Sorrento. The flavours, presentation, friendliness from everyone, so efficient and yes, just sooo good. Told then I’d be back for dinner, but was so full after the lunch so had to wait until next day. Did a tasting menu of dinner. Also so good.

One of the best places we came across here in Sorrento. I had the first lemon sauce spaghetti, and I love it. The waitress was very lovely, gentle and educated. We sat in the middle of the afternoon and he gave his best.

By far the best restraunt in sorento. The owner, and the chef came to serve us in person. We had so much fun, we took some photos with the owner, and they gave us a free dish. 10/10 expirience would come here again.

Wow best meal of our two week long honeymoon!! Amazing atmosphere, service, and food. Getting to try multiple courses is so much fun and unique. Expensive but worth every penny.

This place deserves rave reviews. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous. The servers are so personable and polite. The food was so incredible. We felt like VIPs eating lunch there. The price fixe menu was a bit more than we would typically spend on lunch but well worth it. One of our favorite meals during our trip here! Highly recommend!

This trattoria deserves a michelin rating! We took a chance on this restaurant and we're glad we did. The place had a cool ambiance. Service was amazing, the food-OMG Very good! We were first seated indoors while waiting for our table. We were given amuse-bouche while waiting. We were seated outdoors and a man started playing a ukulele like instrument it was cute. Their calamari was tender and very tasty, I had a lemon cream pasta with shrimp topped with caviar, it was served inside a hallowed out lemon. It was amazing! My friend had lamb chops with pasta, they were also phenomenal! She said the Tiramisu was good. The service was wonderful! Truly deserving a Michelin Star as it hits most boxes.

First class all the way! From the moment you are greeted and seated you are welcomed into a dining experience. They brought a small treat right away and a small glass of Prosecco to say "welcome ". We ordered the sampling for 87€. It was pasta or app main course and dessert. I had the calamari and pork and chocolate Mousse. My wife had the lemon pasta which was amazing , sea bass and cone dessert. See the pictures . The meal was fantastic and the service was top notch.

We chose this restaurant due to good reviews for the Tagliolini Antica Trattoria. It was as amazing as everyone suggests. We tried to make reservations in advance however they only accept reservations by phone and being from the U.S. we didn't have a way to call internationally to book it. We walked up at 630pm (when they opened) to see if we could dine in without reservations and they seated us right away. You arrive to a small glass of Brut on the house that was delicious so we ordered a bottle of it. Service was impeccable. The owner was greeting tables which made for a warm touch . My daughter and husband had Cacio e Pepe and it was delicious. They bring out bread on the house (an Italian thing) to share for the table tbat was soft and fresh. We also ordered Crème Brûlée. It was amazing however the taste profile was unique with cinnamon and orange flavors. The next time we are in the area we will definitely be back.

This restaurant was about 20 minutes from our hotel, which gave us the opportunity to come here 3 times during our stay in Amalfi Coast! Everything was absolutely delicious, we were so impressed the first night we came here that we had to come back and try something different from the menu each time we came back. This was one of the best restaurants we've ever been to and we are sad to live so far away from it. Trust me, they will be getting their Michelin stars soon! The staff was amazing, I loved the fact that the owner was always there, it gave that family warmth to the atmosphere. Prices are extremely reasonable, I promise you it's worth it, for the amount of food and quality, you won't have anything like this place.

Main server was very jovial and entertaining, I wish we had him for the entire service. The day of our reservation, it rained out so we couldn't sit under the patio which was the whole point coming. Inside there were two rooms, we were seated close to the front door so I don't know what the inside truly looked like. This is definitely pricier than most places. The food had good flavor but didn't seem to be the freshest. The pasta tasted like boxed pasta and wifeys fish didn't seem to be the freshest although it was nicely presented. This was easily our worst meal in sorrento and of the trip. Another contributing factor to the low rating was after we got the bill, another server or the owner said tip not included, cash only please. He proceeded to tell it to the other American table behind us. The menu says tax and gratuity is included in the prices, so he was full of it. The only redeeming merits was the first server and the flavor from the food.

Absolutely fantastic!! It was so good we went twice in one week. The ambiance is so beautiful and romantic. There honestly wasn't anything I had that was less than superb. The first night I had the signature dish Tagliolini L'Antica Trattoria. Amazing! Zucchini flowers....Tasted like the lemons fell fresh off of the branches that day. The owner came and served us both times and told us about the family history of the restaurant. I will definitely be back with more friends. Favorite restaurant in Sorrento.

We went to L'Antica Trattoria on the recommendation of a local jeweler. He said it's the best restaurant in Sorrento, so we popped in. Upon entering, we were greeted by a jovial host who found us a table indoors as the terrace was fully booked for the evening. The place is well lit and lots of neat decorations to look at. You can see into the kitchen and watch the artisans plate the food. One thing that really amazed me was how big the restaurant actually was. It seemed to go on forever! Dinner came with a glass of Prosecco and a ricotta stuffed profiterole, a welcome touch. We ordered the zucchini blossom for an appetizer and I forgot to snap a photo, but it was plated beautifully and was outstanding. My wife had never tried one before and became a big fan. We added a nice bottle of rose wine which went really well with both of our meals. She ordered the cannelloni and I ordered the tagliolini. I loved my dish. Lots of zesty lemon and the shrimp were very sweet and tender. What threw me was the description. It said "lumpfish", but it was actually lumpfish caviar. It was a very nice touch. It wasn't as salty as others I've had. The cannelloni had a lovely sauce, but we felt the filling needed something, like an herb or even parmigiana. It was good, but could have been better. For desert, my wife got the panacotta and I ordered opera, a chocolate cake with coffee Grenache. It wasn't what I expected, but it was very good! It was a flourless cake, covered in white chocolate with a coffee mousse...devine! They also brought out a small plate with a sponge cake, truffle and a macaron. We weren't a fan of the sponge, but the others were nice. If you are I Sorrento and looking for a nice meal, come here. The food was amazing and the waitstaff exceptional.

Recommended by out air BNB host and close to where we stayed. A Michelin rated restaurant so pricier than the average restaurant but not bad and worth it. The cutest restaurant with both indoor and out door seating. Very romantic and lovey inside. If sitting outside, the tables are under this adorable roof made of vines with a water fountain. Great place for pictures! Service was amazing. Very attentive, professional, and classy. While reaching for the bottle of water to refill our glasses, one server even rushed over to do it for us. We received complimentary bread to start off with...the olive bread and focaccia were very good especially dipped in their olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also got this amazing ball of deliciousness (tasted like a crab cake filled ball that was fried). The food was pretty unforgettable. We ordered the stuffed flower blossoms which were stuffed with ricotta and ham and fried in a light crisply batter...very nice. But the highlight of the dinner were the entrees. I ordered the lemon pasta that came in a half of a lemon, in this dreamy cream sauce that was complemented well with the acidity of the lemon flavor...but not too tart...just right and topped with caviar. We also got the veal topped with a gravy which was very tasty and tender, with fried Mushrooms to add a textural component to the dish. Both dishes were amazing! We were too full for dessert but were offered a cream puff with a drizzle of I think maybe a caramel rum sauce? All in all, a must try! Great experience and even better food! We were surprised at how empty the restaurant was since the food was so amazing, but we did go before peak season. I can only imagine how busy it must get during peak season so I would recommend making a reservation for dinner.

L'Antica Trattoria was the perfect final meal for my honeymoon. I couldn't have ended on such a good note! My husband and I had spent a few days along the Amalfi Coast and didn't have a reservation, but we went a little after opening to L'Antica Trattoria and were able to get a table outside and enjoyed the cooler coaster weather. We ordered a simple Caprese Salad to share together as an appetizer and it was really light with fresh burrata and juicy tomato. It was a delicious starter! For entrees, I ordered the Taglionini L'Antica Trattoria and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the lemon cream sauce is unlike anything you get in the states. Cream sauces in the US and extremely heavy, but this lemon cream sauce is light and had a nice freshness of the lemon with a nice flavor from lumpfish (reminds me of caviar). In addition the pasta was perfectly al dente! It was such a nice meal. My husband for the rolled sea bass. It was definitely plated nicely and tasted good. However, in my opinion, the pasta is the better of the two! Our waiter was also super nice and attentive throughout the meal! Thank you so much for such a pleasant and memorable experience!

Absolutely the most amazing dining experience we had in our time in Sorrento. The moment you walk in you're greeted by the sweet staff, offered a welcome drink and appetizer while you wait. Service was quick. Waiters were all so welcoming and attentive. The food was BEYOND what we expected. We really felt at home and were treated like family. This is a great place whether you are looking for somewhere romantic or just to celebrate an anniversary event!

We splurged on a dinner here during our trip to Italy. We did the pre fixe menu and got a bottle of wine. Although it was very expensive, we had a great experience! We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and a savory cream puff. The place is adorable and our server was kind. He recommended some local wine within our price range that we loved. We ordered the caprese salad, calamari, lemon pasta, lemon risotto, whitefish, veal, chocolate cake, and tiramisu. They also throw in a small, included dessert. The highlights were the lemon pasta, veal, and dessert. I would go back for the lemon pasta in a heartbeat! If you are looking for a place to splurge, this is a fun option.

If you're ever in Sorrento this is a MUST try. Amazing full course menu, delicious wine options, and even better service. To top it off, the ambience is so romantic!!

Best meal in Italy! Definitely plan on eating at this restaurant while you're in Sorrento! They provide a complementary glass of Prosecco and an appetizer at the beginning. Service is impeccable and friendly. I ordered the shrimp pasta with a light lemon cream sauce which was outstanding! I had a lovely glass of wine. They recommended and ordered the tiramisu. This tiramisu rocked! It had a bit of a hazelnut chocolate flavor and made my mouth so happy! I hope I return to Sorrento one day and if I do, I'm definitely eating at this location! I've already recommend this restaurant to people I met at my hotel this evening at the terrace bar!

We tried on two different occasions to eat at this restaurant . The first time the manager said you needed reservations or we could wait 1.5 hours . So we made reservations . The night of our reservation we were a little late due to the thunderstorm. When we showed up I tried to explain to the manager he said we would have to wait 1.5 hours. He was very unfriendly and couldn't care less. The people behind me said they were late for their reservations and they were seated. I didn't want to make a scene so we left. I would not recommend this restaurant and if I ever come back to Sorrento I will not patronize this restaurant.

Incredibly warm service (from the owner, who literally grows the lemons in his garden), delicious food (the house lemon pasta was the best thing I ate during this trip to Italy), and charming ambiance (we ate very comfortably inside, but they have a terrace too). Highly recommend the vegan menu and the desserts - the two desserts we tried were exceptional.

Experience was a 5/5! We walked in without a reservation on a very busy day and there wasn't a table. However, the staff very politely suggested we sit and wait as it probably wouldn't be long. They not only ushered us to a cozy table to wait, they gave us all a bit of Prosecco and a snack from the kitchen! Our table outside was available shortly and all 4 of us loved our food...the lemon pasta and beef ragout pasta were both to die for! And the chocolate dessert! Amazing!

Beautiful and romantic vegan tasting menu. The staff is gracious and hospitable with amazing service. The food is fresh and filling. The zucchini and tomato soup was so flavorful and the eggplant plate with veggies was the star.

This restaurant was hands down one of the best meals we had in Italy. The service was also exceptional and very attentive. We got the Tagliolini Antica Trattoria, Cacio e Pepe, Cannelloni, and a few of their appetizers. Everything was incredible. They also gave us a cream puff for dessert that was amazing. Will definitely recommend to anyone coming to Sorrento!

We stopped here on a whim without a reservation. We were the last table to be seated without a reservation, we got lucky! We ordered their pre fixed menu and WOW! Every dish we had was phenomenal! Our server was great and attentive. Would definitely go back and try their a la cart menu!

The lemon pasta. That's it. All you need! Come here once a year and everytime I have to get the Tagliolini Antica Trattoria which is a pasta with lemon sauce, shrimp and caviar plated in a lemon. Cute ambiance in their little garden area, the inside is nice but I don't love their outside seating in the street. The service is pretty good but the lemon pasta is definitely the main thing bringing me back to this restaurant every year.

Though this place a litter higher on the cost range, it's definitely worth it. A beautiful restaurant just off the beaten path. It wasn't hard to find excellent choices on the menu. The service was friendly and well staffed. After a week in Sorrento, this was our favorite. We visited a second time.

Where do I start! My first time to Italy and this family run restaurant since 1930 was the highlight of my trip, don't get me wrong Italy was magical from Rome to Greve, Chianti and than to Sorrento, which was my favorite by far and I owe it all to this place!!!! AMAZING people, food, music and AMBIANCE truly took my breath away, we had dinner 3 out of the 5 days we were there snd they made my friend and I feel like family

Oh my goodness where do I even start this place was AMAZING!!!!! I didn't get a picture of it but the Zucchini Flowers are incredible I was craving them the next day I wish I got a chance to eat here again before I left Sorrento but I'm really happy I at least got to eat and enjoy the food we had it was amazing I loved everything about this place the staff were super friendly they even gave us some dessert samples super great service and great food 10 out of 10 for this place!!!

What a marvelous experience - the atmosphere, food, and service were all top-notch. My husband and I each ordered different items and were able to sample each other's choices.

Amazing food, service, servers, and quality of food. We had a great spot that was seated by the cook window which was so fascinating to watch. We can not stop day dreaming about the next time we book a trip to Italy because this is for CERTAIN going on our itinerary.

Great spot we got recommended to us n In Sorrento. Free little cream puff at end was the best. Try the cacio de pepe

Fantastic meal for our first night in Sorrento. No reservation - set at table inside which was nice with air conditioning and lovely seating. Service was outstanding - very attentive from time we walked in. Offered appetizer bite and Prosecco while waiting for our table. All three pasta dishes were favorites of our trip. Didn't order dessert - offered cream puff bite to round out a lovely meal.

A lovely meal! We made a resi and got a spot on the patio under the beautiful natural ceiling of vines. So green and nice. We did the 4 course meal and oh my gosh it was amazing! You get the choose what you want for each course and it was to die for. Amazing food and the service was great!

The lemon pasta dish is other-worldly! Service & ambience was excellent. Definitely going back when the opportunity arises.

The restaurant itself was so fabulous. Looked like a small restaurant but was so incredible. The server (Luciano) was so friendly and funny. Made us feel so at home. The ambiance and food was so outstanding. Best in Sorrento.

Omg I can't say enough good things about this place. We celebrated the first night of our honeymoon at this Michelin Star restaurant. Right when we sat down they brought us champagne and a croquet, complimentary of the chef. We opted in for the four course dinner and did not have any regrets. We started with the grilled octopus and artichoke apps. The octopus was definitely the best I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked and not chewy. The artichoke had a delicious sauce. For the pasta course I got the lemon seafood pasta which was my absolute favorite dish of our entire Italy trip. The flavors were out of this world and the seafood melted in my mouth. The best part is that it was served in a real Lemon! My husband got the fettuccine and yet another 5 Star dish. For our main course I got the sea bass and my husband got the cod. The sea bass had a yummy seafood broth and the cod was lightly breaded. Both amazing. For dessert I opted in for the chocolate ball because I never pass up chocolate. It was a little rich after having the Lemon and seafood but still couldn't resist eating it. My husband got the lemon ricotta dish and it tasted similar to a cheesecake which was very refreshing. Just when we thought we couldn't eat anymore they brought us a few extra bite sized desserts for our honeymoon. Very sweet gesture! Would absolutely recommend this place if you are in sorrento to celebrate something!! The food and ambiance are more than 5 stars!

In the heart of all the tourist traps is this fine little restaurant that has a heavenly garden patio. Perhaps a little stuffy with some grumpy waiters, once you get past that, the food and the garden are really quite fabulous. It's more upscale dining for sure and a wonderful place to have lunch. Everything was beautifully presented and was quite delicious.

Very rude! They were incredibly rude to myself and my family. There was no one in the restaurant and they refused to seat us. They discriminated against our family in a very obvious and terrible way.

This place is known for their beautiful setting and pasta in a lemon. While I appreciated that they will do a vegetarian version, my husband and I found this restaurant to be overpriced. The lemon pasta dish was even better next door at Blu Water in my opinion for less. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get amazing delicious fresh food in Sorrento.

The lemon pasta and green raviolis where amazing they treat you so well the food is very authentic has locals and tourist one of my favorites during this trip ps the lemon pasta comes in a lemon! Tiramisu was amazing as well!!!

Gorgeous spot for an unhurried lunch. We all had the Paccheri with monkfish, pistachio, capers, olives and cherry tomatoes. Absolutely delicious. And the room is as beautiful as the food. Great service by professional waitstaff, too.

The only disappointing dining experience in Sorrento this trip. Over priced for average to mediocre food. The home made pasta was under seasoned and just not good "home made pasta". The only saving grace is if I didn't have the misfortune of this highly rated trip advisor restaurant that is a tourist trap, I would not have discovered two stores that sold great driving shoes!

Our food was excellent! And wonderful service! This was our favorite meal in Sorrento! The table is set beautifully! We recommended this restaurant to everyone through our travels. You need reservations!

The food, ambiance, and service were very good. My husband and I were joined by our daughter on our recent trip t

Amazing food. Lemon sauces and desserts made with lemons from our waiter's garden. Did the tasting menu with wine pairings. Wonderful flavors and the wines are very reasonably priced. In a touristy area but definitely not a tourist trap.

L' Antica.... If you want America Italian flavored food, with mediocre desserts and a old mandolin player who comes to your table when you look at him so you can throw him money for his bad singing.... This is your place... Worst portion is I went to this place because it was highly recommended. #HugeMistake

This was the best meal in all of Italy we've had !! My hubby and I came here for our last night in Sorrento, as it was recommended by my cousins. The restaurant has your standard menu where you can order a la carte or you can order a special for 60 euro (choose 1 starter, main, and dessert) or get a pre fixe menu for 49 euro (called the Symphony Menu-choose between two options for every course, totalling four courses) or do a tasting menu for 90 euro (called the Concerto Menu- you get 8 courses I think). The meal started with a complimentary glass of prosecco which was delicious! My hubby had the rack of lamb which was not gamey at all and the meat was very tender. I had the symphony menu. I chose the stuffed zucchini flowers, lemon cream pasta, pork chops, and pastiera (a citrusy ricotta dessert..may souns weird to some, but it was the best dessert I've ever had!) for dessert. Everything was incredible! The stand out courses were definitely the zucchini flowers, lemon pasta, and pastiera. The service was also incredible and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Can't go wrong in going here! Must try it if you're traveling to Sorrento.

Food is absolutely delicious. Wine list is top notch. Inside is very quaint and cozy. Wonderful service.

When visiting Sorrento, this is a one place not to miss!Wonderful lovely restaurant with the motive of homey and elegance. They offered a full lunch menu with a wide range of wine selections. Gennaro was incredibly courteous and funny which makes the experience Fantastic. Seafood was fresh and perfectly prepared, food was served in a timely manner. My husband and I traveled all over the world, and consider ourselves very meticulous with our choices, we definitely give them a perfect 10!!

Excellent excellent excellent!!!!! From start to finish everything was top notch. The service from Salvatore was attentive and upbeat. We had a tasting menu and every food item was a unique and exceptional! We were serenaded with beautiful music during our dinner. Highly recommend!!!!

This was one of our favorite restaurants in Italy! It is located in Sorrento. Super cute and intimate. Everything was exceptional from the ambience to the staff to the food. We walked in without reservations and the staff was very hospitable. We started off with some very yummy Prosecco. Honestly everything we had was delicious. They started us off with this color appetizer in a small little cup (I didn't even know what it was) but it was so amazing. We ordered the zucchini flower as our appetizer and my husband orders the seabass and I had the taglione. Everything was very good, but the highlight dish of the night was hands down the taglione. I didn't think that the lemon sauce would be so amazing! After eating around Italy for 2 weeks, I have to say that was one of my favorite pasta dishes in Italy. I highly recommend this place and you won't be disappointed. The staff here is so great! Food is amazing! It could be a bit pricey but it's worth it!

WOW. This restaurant was amazing. From the beginning we were excited because the ambiance is absolutely breathtaking. There is a lovely patio out front, and also a garden area inside with tables. The garden area is majestic. We got a complimentary amuse bouche of a vegetarian quiche. We ordered two appetizers: asparagus puree with poached egg, and the tempura fried zucchini flower. The asparagus puree could have used seasoning, but the zucchini flower was to die for!!! We ordered 4 other dishes (2 primi and 2 secundi): 1. filet mignon 5 ways: Literally five huge slices of delicious beef, each with a different sauce. It was amazing. Also came with potato croquette and sauteed spinach. 2. Pork tenderloin: Also amazing! Sweet pork with cabbage and potatoes with an apple blueberry reduction 3. Angel hair pasta with lemon and spinach. SERVED INSIDE A LEMON! This dish is usually served with shrimp, but we ordered it vegetarian. It was a spectacular vegetarian pasta. 4. Spaghetti with beef ragout and squash. Delicious, simple, a great primi! We were stuffed and couldn't order dessert and they still brought out a delicious little puff pastry stuffed with creme. Service was great, atmosphere and food were top notch.

The food and service here is untouchable. Fantastic! We got the tagliolini Antica dish and it was off the chart. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone even goes to the restaurants on either side of this one. Ha! They even gave us some free desserts and champagne on the house.

This restaurant is completely wonderful! The service and the food is some of the best I've had in Italy. We had the Concerto tasting menu and every single thing was perfect. If you want to spoil yourself in a beautiful setting with great service and even better food go here.
