Il Buco In Sorrento

Wow - What an incredible restaurant. You can understand why they have held a Michelin Star for 15+ years! The staff knew it was our Honeymoon and the service was impeccable! But the real star here is for the food - The flavours, presentation and quality were amazing and paired so well together. Highly recommend for a quality high-end restaurant experience!

My wife and I dined there on 4/10. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well so we only had an appetizer and a 2nd course. However, my Cod was to die for. One of the best entrees ever. It was fresh, light and delicious. The staff was attentive and prompt. Overall, a great experience.

5 stars. The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was attentive and helpful. The food was delicious; you can tell it has a Michelin star. The chef was also very involved, frequently checking if everything was alright. I would definitely return.

Fantastic food, prepared with absolute care! The wine list is practically endless… A truly impressive wine cellar. Very attentive service! There were two of us, and we were thrilled. We even had an amuse-bouche with dessert! Keep it up! 👏🏻

Your petit fours were, to put it mildly, superfluous and superficial. One star Michelin?! As the evening went on, the two true leads—wine and food—took center stage. But I sense that Il Buco has been experimenting with a more “modern” version of itself: waiters in blue suits paired with dark T-shirts, a slightly more casual style of service, and “new” plates and glassware. I’m not entirely convinced. I’m also not sure that chef Peppe himself is fully aligned with the concept, even if it likely appeals to a large part of the audience. To me, it introduces a certain noise that disturbs the overall impression. The cuisine, on the other hand, felt confident—though without real highlights, which one might expect from a one-star establishment in the guide, especially from the perspective of a seasoned diner recommending the place. The plating may have been a bit on the overthought side. The wine pairing, however, was impeccable and thoughtfully curated. All in all, an okay evening.

The food was a little lackluster, unfortunately. The service was impeccable! The restaurant was very pretty. But the food fell a little flat. The strawberry dessert was outstanding, however.

Il Buco was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my life the food was incredible the service was amazing and being able to have chef pepe come to my table and talk to me about my order as I chose the chef creation 5 course meal. Chef Pepe and the staff offer3d nothing but excellent service. Now the food. It was a great dining experience and the 5 courses I had were all delicious. Definitely recommend this Il Buco.

Wonderful place, the sea food tasting menu was lovely.

A homey atmosphere reigns in this journey through Neapolitan cuisine, the fruit of past experiences and international influences! Flavors that evoke family memories in the most authentic Sorrento!

The food, the place, the atmosphere, and the service were incredible. Worthy of a Michelin star. We will definitely be back.
