Caffè54 In Sorrento

27/06/2025: Service was abrupt and operatic. Walked in toward the end of the lunch hour with a warm welcome. First visit. Ordered arancini, pizza, and a salad. The waitress who’d been sweet to my dog started yelling about something at another waitress in the kitchen. They both came out angry and when I asked for balsamic, one threw packets on my table, telling a third waitress that I was an idiot for have my cellphone out at lunch ( I was taking photos of the pizza to post here.) While I ate, I heard the first impatient grumpy waitress yelling in Italian about how I’d never finish eating. No one had told me they were closing when I came in at 2:30pm. The posted hours say they’re open until 3:30pm. Finally, I tried to eat as fast as I could and was ushered out of the dining room. I sat outside to finish my wine. The first waitress came by to chat with my dog again! Naples? There’s a lot of good pizza nearby. Unless you want it with a side of va fangulo it may not be worth the visit.

24/06/2025: The place is nice but the spaces between the tables are narrow and a bit cramped. The acoustics of the premises are not the best. The quality of the food is good and there is a decent variety of dishes. The staff should improve in empathy and professionalism. The fried foods are very good. Good value for money.
