Our guide brought us here for lunch during our tour. We ate outside and it was perfect! My husband and I shared Insalata Caprese and a small Margherita pizza. The Caprese was the best I have ever had - the tomatoes were firm and flavorful and the mozzarella was a delight! The pizza had a thin, crisp crust and a... More

All I can say is that this place is excellent. It's very cozy, with outdoor dining. The Caprese Salad was excellent as was the variety of pizza that we had. The prices were resonable and the service was awesome. I am back in the States now and I miss Italian food!

We went to eat here twice on our trip to Sorrento- it is very casual and friendly. The food was great- the pasta is delicious. The price is reasonable and located near the train station.

This is a wonderful ristorante situated down a side street from the main Corso Italia. They offer a wide variety of reasonably priced delicious well-prepared dishes and also tasty wood-burning brick oven pizza. Our first visit to Il Leone Rosso was in 2007 - the food, service, and proffesionalism of the staff was outstanding back then & still is! Thank... More

Went here after Pompeii visit which was great but tiring and we wanted a quick meal.The restaurant is more of a cafe in lots of respects. It was filled with families and lots of children: very "English pub - like" in atmosphere so if you are looking for sophistication and fine dining, this isn't for you. However, we were quite... More

Sorrento is full of tourists so I was instantly drawn to this restaurant by the number of Italians choosing to go there. It's just off the Corso Italia, so not the most scenic, but the food was excellent, reasonably priced and with very generous portions. Lots of local specialties were on offer and I particularly recommend the fried aubergine (eggplant)... More

We had a reasonable night at the Red Lion it was let down by a bus load of American kids on a school holiday!, this did not make for a quick dinner as the priority was for the 50 kids. Not the resturants fault but they should have made alounces for for the normal diners as the large party would... More

My wife and I went to the Leone Rosso after 24 hours of travel wanting just to recharge and relax. We accomplished those ends in the pleasant atmosphere, but were disappointed with the food. Of our two first plates the pasta and sausage was enjoyable but the pasta and zucchini had the vegetables grossly overlooked. Of our second plates, the... More

Our driver from the airport recommended this restaurant to us, and it was fine to get something to eat after a late arrival but I was glad it wasn't for one of our 'main' nights over our long weekend. Our late arrival could explain the brusque manner of the waiter, as we were ordering when most people were leaving. However... More

An excellent restaurant with good service and excellent value for money, given the very large portions. Situated up a side street not far from the station.
