The Garden Ristorante In Sorrento

Watch out for 3 euro cover charge!!

Very nice staff and very good atmosphere. I would recommend this place and i will come back😊

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.
