Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa In Vico equense

An experience to do. In the proposed tasting menu you can recognize the philosophy of the chef Guida. Excellent products and delicate flavors

After watching Chef’s Table on Netflix, we knew we had to visit Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa — and it did not disappoint! We went on a Sunday for the tasting menu lunch and had such a memorable experience. The food was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and there was plenty of it. A perfect blend of tradition and creativity. Highly recommend for a special meal in the Sorrento area! Just take the train. Make reservations!

My sister and I had been planning to eat at Nonna Rosa for over a year and today we finally realised our dream. We selected the 'Peppe fèed me' and were pleasantly surprised... every meal was an experience that set our taste buds alive. A beautiful subtle infusion of lemon throughout the meal was divine. The service was exceptional, nothing to fault! And to top it off Peppe came over and had a chat with us which made experience all the better. I highly recommend thr food and experience! Looking forward to my next visit!

Fantastic emotions! Thanks Peppe Guida!

When everything seems to stop on such a sensorial journey where the ancient flavors and smells of the past, reinterpreted in a modern key, have memories of those who raised us Great Chef 💫

We came here having seen the Chef’s Table feature on Netflix. And consequently, we probably had impossible expectations. We ordered the classic tasting menu. Overall - remember we‘re talking premium Michelin star pricing - the experience was somewhat mixed: We had a really creative amuse gueule, which set our expectations quite high. This was followed though by a dish of cheese and then three pasta courses with tomato sauce (varied ingredients and pasta style of course), which were nice but not spectacular. The pairing wines really added to the experience though, so I‘d really recommend that option. Then we had a meatball with mashed potato, and finally a very nice variety of desserts again - I was only missing a dessert wine, which somehow wasn’t part of the wine pairing anymore (but dessert was gone before we realized). We went as a family with two children, so only two of us had the pairing wines, and overall ended up at EUR 660 plus tip. Honestly, given the fact most of the courses were varied pasta with tomato sauce, I felt we probably paid 100 - 150 Euro too much. Apologies if our taste buds couldn’t appreciate the difference, but making pasta at home didn’t feel terribly different from what we had here (good to know though that our pasta skills are apparently quite decent). Again, please remember this review is reflecting the high expectations we had visiting a Michelin Star fine dining experience. Overall, it was a very nice experience - friendly staff and quiet setting (Peppe Guida didn’t make an appearance on that Friday evening).

Four star rating for friendliness, even three stars could have been there, I'm more severe with starred ones. Fish tasting menu, let's say that half of the courses met my high expectations, the other half the food was not bad but overall a little bland. The dish that disappointed me the most was the appetizer of prawn battutto in the shape of the Italian peninsula, unfortunately I couldn't find the characteristic flavors of the Italian regions (mushroom, truffle, nduja to name a few). The good dishes: the spaghetti with oil, lemon and provolone del monaco, the fish soup with potatoes and mixed salad, I also liked the broken candles of squid and cuttlefish. Without infamy and without praise, monkfish meunière. Perhaps because I have often eaten sole meunière abroad and the accompanying sauce is a rich and delicious "beurre blanc", I think Peppe emulsified it with oil and so don't call it "meunière". Desserts: the pre-dessert of annurca apple sorbet is sublime. The chocolate cream tart is passable. The hazelnut croquelin is definitely worth revisiting. The clip is not bad but redundant. A curious thing about dinner at Peppe Guida is that the portions are much larger than the average starred restaurant, you leave full.

Congratulations to maestro Peppe Guida who made us live an overwhelming experience.

Arriviamo in auto in un contesto abbastanza “Scarrupato” che ci meraviglia. Ci accoglie un parcheggiatore che gentilissimo ci fa sistemare un un’area con strisce blu…..ma senza farci effettuare il pagamento. Chissà. Saliamo le scale (barriere architettoniche) di una casa privata ed entriamo nella reception. Con gentilezza ci fanno accomodare. In tutto ci sono 6-7 tavoli. Ambiente caldo, familiare ma non ci vedo la stella. Abbiamo scelto il menù mare da 140 euro, un vino da 40 eur (con onesto ricarico) e due caffè. Tot 330. Servizio cortese e competente. Certo ci saremmo aspettati qualche cosa di diverso nei piatti. Entree simpatica con cibi dalla preparazione stellata ma nulla di indimenticabile. Una tartare di gamberi a forma di Italia abbastanza “Kitsch”…..almeno avessero usato gamberi rossi di Mazara! La zuppa di pesce azzurro il piatto migliore. Spaghettini al limone, candele spezzate a mare, buoni. Il trancio di cernia non era disponibile ed hanno usato altro pesce non so quale. Dolce: banale. Insomma, un pranzo assolutamente piacevole ma per 140 eur mi aspettavo altro. Si vede che la stella di per se già costa, al di là di ciò che si mangia. P. S. Servizi in ordine, striminziti/ millimetrati ma in ordine.

Abbiamo scelto di mangiare in questo ristorante durante il mese di febbraio, quindi nella sede invernale, situata sulla collina sopra Vico Equense. Locale facile da trovare con il navigatore. Parcheggio appena sotto il ristorante, ci sono degli scalini da superare. Due piccole sale per trenta coperti circa, atmosfera rilassata, anche se il personale maschera con la simpatia la sua profonda competenza e precisione. Per i menu proposti e per i prezzi, vi lascio al sito e alle guide. Per quel che mi riguarda, non ho trovato sapori assai diversi dalla cucina campana a cui sono abituato, ma ho trovato, semplicemente, risultati migliori. Prezzi adeguati alla proposta stellata (370 euro a coppia con vino).
