The Garden Ristorante In Sorrento

Came here 2 nights out of 3 in town as Carprese salad was best ive had. Calamari was top notch and both pasta dishes fantastic. The tagliolini was home made noodles.

Everything was very good, perfect. Great attention, good service, and the food was delicious!

We discovered Il Giardino di Gennaro through friends we met during a tour. They had eaten there twice during their week in Sorrento and were already planning a third visit. We almost didn’t go because of the low TripAdvisor ratings, but I’m very glad we did. It turned out to be our favorite restaurant in Sorrento and easily the best value for the quality of food and experience. We ended up eating there twice during our one week stay, which is rare for us. When we travel, we try to sample as much of the regional gastronomy as possible and usually avoid repeating restaurants. Il Giardino di Gennaro was the clear exception because it was that good. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially on the upper terrace where herbs lightly scent the air. The staff are warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. Gennaro, the owner, was a gracious host who personally helped us select excellent wine pairings that perfectly complemented each meal. During our week in Sorrento we also tried several highly rated places, including a two star Michelin restaurant in the city and another with one star nearby, yet this was the meal we remembered most. The food, service, and price were exceptional. What we ordered (over two nights): • Raw oysters, briny, fresh, and delicious • Beef carpaccio, beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned • Fried calamari, light and crisp • Mare Nostrum seafood salad, fresh, bright, and delicately balanced • Bistecca alla Fiorentina, ordered medium rare and served exactly as we wanted, carved at the table by Gennaro himself • Sea bass baked in a salt crust, tender, fresh, and full of flavor • Homemade millefeuille and lemon delight, both superb and among the best desserts we had in Italy Every detail reflected pride and care, from the ingredients to the presentation to the genuine hospitality. For anyone visiting Sorrento, do not let the TripAdvisor ratings mislead you. Il Giardino di Gennaro is a gem. Go, enjoy, and you will see why it became our favorite restaurant for the price.

We weren't very hungry and were just craving pizza, so we stopped by. The terrace looked beautiful, and the space didn't disappoint. The pizza was fine, nothing too flashy, and the drinks were good too. If you're up for a nice terrace and some good drinks, come here.

Would highly recommend this restaurant...amazing food, brilliant service and very well priced. Wines were absolutely gorgeous too. Lovely ambience and perfectly situated. Will definitely be back

Lovely prompt service by very friendly people, this restaurant has a very local, traditional feel with real Italian food. The portions were sufficient, and the taste was impeccable.

Enjoyed our lunch so much, that we came back for dinner! Beautiful atmosphere, great service and excellent food! Highly recommend

Incredible food, great service in a beautiful garden.

Seems to be a love it or hate it restaurant given recent reviews. We loved it. The only restaurant we went to more than once. Great menu, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic wine menu.

Esta es una joya escondida de un restaurante, un entorno absolutamente precioso por encima de las calles de Sorrento. Elegimos pizzas para principal. Puedo recomendar el Sorrento con el sutil sabor del limón. La masa de pizza era tan ligera y ventilada. Tomamos tiramisú y cacerola de caoba de postre. ¡Otra vez delicioso! El camarero era encantador y el servicio fue rápido. Me encantó la sensación de jardín con la vegetación que crece por encima. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.
