“ The atmosphere is noisy because of its closeness to the road. The food was nice however inconsistent due to one of the plates coming without toast, however butter was given. The portions were slightly on the small side. Prices were affordable. ”
“ Lovely place to sit and have a drink in Sorrento. Reasonably priced and not charged service or extra for just having a drink. A nice vibe in the busy square with attentive staff but not made to feel rushed. We didn’t eat but the food looked great. ”
“ Staff friendly, drinks fine. Actually a nice cup of English breakfast tea (which is a surprise in Italy)! Excellent location and useful ceiling fans in the baking heat. Not too pricey. ”
“ Situated in the heart of Sorrento and the Piazza Tasso, this great spot surprised with its fresh tuna salad and adorable goody basket that accompanied our drinks. Great spot for people watching and taking it all in. ”
“ Nice location on main square. Friendly service. Gelato pre-made do cannot mix flavours. Also frozen so not as nice as elsewhere. Good cappuccino though. ”
