We had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante O' Parrucchiano in Sorrento, and we can say without hesitation that it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Simply stunning.
The atmosphere is magical: you eat in a huge room inside what I assume was a historic villa in the heart of the city (Corso Italia), surrounded by a wonderful lemon garden (where you can eat in the summer; temporary glass windows are provided for the winter) that seems to have come straight from a dream, with its intense aromas and timeless elegance. The restaurant is meticulously designed, refined yet rustic and welcoming, instantly making you feel like you're on vacation.
We started with the chef's appetizer: not particularly generous, admittedly, but of truly excellent quality. Each bite was balanced and rich in flavor, with incredibly fresh fish and top-quality ingredients.
Then we moved on to the great classics: gnocchi alla sorrentina, simply perfect, soft and enveloping, and the legendary centenary cannelloni, an iconic dish that originated right here. You can taste all the history and tradition in every bite: a true pride of Sorrento cuisine.
All at absolutely reasonable prices, especially considering the extraordinary location and the quality of the food. An experience worth every penny and one I recommend to anyone passing through Sorrento.
We recommend making a reservation even if we didn't, and we're delighted to say goodbye to the waiter who served us with extreme kindness, professionalism, and friendliness.
A place that will remain in your heart, for its beauty, deliciousness, and authenticity. We'll definitely be back! 🌿🍋

Not our first time here, but have to say this is a must try in Sorrento, the menu is extensive and food items are generally all good. It may be hyped but it’s worth a try. The ambience and historical atmosphere along with the lush back garden make this place very special — like a time travel really. Despite our server forgetting our entree, other staff did a great job making sure we had a great dining experience, given the fast pace of the restaurant. I did not however enjoy their deserts

A truly beautiful place with a large garden worth visiting. I returned after many years and everything is still delicious. The prices are fair considering the area, but I found the minimum spend of 30 euros per person strange... Having said that, I still highly recommend it. The delicious Caprese ravioli are excellent!

A beloved place where I've celebrated important events since childhood. Historically, it's the family restaurant where my parents celebrated their wedding more than sixty years ago. Today, the food, with the exception of a few historic dishes, isn't as good as it once was, but the restaurant retains its charm and beauty, thanks in part to its central location.
The prices are relatively high, especially considering the less-than-stellar quality of some dishes, especially the fish.
It's still an experience worth trying for those who've never been there.

A delicious restaurant.
Don't trust the reviews left by tourists. The restaurant is delicious. You're on the Sorrento Peninsula, so you should eat a delicious gnocco alla sorrentina and nothing else. Trust me, my French girlfriend loves this dish and comes here every time. Between the restaurant with its stunning garden, the beautiful setting, and the delicious food, she's absolutely in love. I give it a 5/5.

We returned to this restaurant on December 31st. The atmosphere, already normally beautiful because it resembles a lemon grove, was magical, full of sparkling lights. At the entrance there were tables of appetizers and desserts. Excellent food, as always, very fast service.

A restaurant with a stunning garden and spectacular food. Special mention goes to the warm and impeccable service. Highly recommended for a romantic dinner: we shared an appetizer, followed by a first course, wine, and dessert.
