Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of my favourite restaurants so far in Italy. I like the feeling when the food makes me speechless and the service is super welcoming. Gianfranco runs this place with his wife, who is the chef and the mastermind behind the delicious recipes. I like that the kitchen is Neapolitano and authentic. It's super light food, which I need or my stomach gets upset. In the beginning, I could not choose, but Gianfranco is super helpful in giving advice on the food and wine combination. The place is the most covid-safe that I have seen before. The pricing is €€€ if you want starter, main and wine (€43), but you can manage with €20 if you are willing to go for the house wine and skip the starter, and still enjoy a very nice time

We were exhausted from our travel day and happened across this lovely place right downstairs from our rental. The food was excellent and the proprietor was very friendly and super helpful with recommendations on wine. We enjoyed watching the kitchen staff producing their art through the big windows, and everything was excellent. We only spent 4 nights in Sorrento, but we ended up having both our first dinner and our last dinner here. Highly recommended!

Awesome restaurant run by a husband and wife duo: he cares about the customer experience; she cares about her creations in the kitchen. Food was tasty and environment was so relaxed and they were both so accommodating that we had to go twice during our short visit to Sorrento. Can’t wait to visit again!

After reading amazing reviews we tried to walk up for dinner on a Saturday night but they were fully booked (make reservations for dinner!). However, I had my heart set on trying the food so we made reservations for lunch the day of our departure and we were not disappointed! Everything was homemade, from the breadsticks to the limoncello, and absolutely delicious, as well as presented beautifully. The service was wonderful and it was by far our best meal in Italy. My only regret was that we were too full for dessert, because I’m sure it would have been just as good. Make a point to come while you’re in Sorrento, and don’t forget to book a reservation if you’re coming for dinner! Lunch had plenty of seats on a Monday.

We dined at this restaurant a few days ago, and I must admit to be being more than a little baffled by all of the very good reviews.
Now I will preface this review by saying that the owner and his father are absolutely delightful, and I do feel a little guilty about this review as I'm not one to constantly leave bad reviews at all.
However my wife and I found the food to be quite poor. The octopus (a speciality of this place by all accounts) was not pleasant, and the steak my wife had was thin and over-cooked.
The location isn't so hot either, sitting on a busy road with quite a lot of traffic running past it.
Maybe they were having a bad night. From all of the previous reviews it seems as though that may be the case.

Just amazing!
On a short, 5 day trip in Sorrento but had to come here more than just once.
This is a lovely run family business, where the husband is front of house and the wife is the super talented chef.
I have seen a review below about "poor value for money", for me I'd always say quality over quantity and this place certaintly hits that criteria.
However if you have a limited pallet and are satisfied with big portions of bland food, then this place won't be for you.
As you can see from the other reviews the tortellini is very popular, and I can safely say it was the best tortellini I've ever had in my life! I'm not sure I can ever have tortellini ever again now.
If I am to return to Sorrento, I will definitely add this place to my list to revisit.

Interesting place with great food. It is unpretentious and welcoming, a little cold in temperature, and the waiter (maybe a co-owner?) was very good.
The food is wonderful, everything is home made and there is a real care and attention to both service and food presentation. The wines have a good range at sensible prices.
The pasta portion sizes were as they should be, unlike the unnecessarily huge portions we get in the UK, where you feel guilty for not finishing. They brought interesting breads during the meal and lovely chilled limoncello at the end (there was a cover charge).
My only gripe is the TV playing in the room (silently) showing cooking programmes, I felt it distracting and devalued the experience.

I highly recommend this place! The service is incredible with all of your food being explained to you as it arrives. It has a cosy feel and the food is delicious - great value for money. We booked on WhatsApp for the same evening, we saw people getting turned away so definitely worth booking

The food here was nice in terms of flavours and presentation. I had steak carpaccio to start which tasted fresh and had some nice garnishes. The homemade bread and breadsticks were very nice. I had cod for main and again the flavours were good, but it was very cold in the middle.
We tried to visit this restaurant without a reservation first of all, and we were turned away quite abruptly. There was no offer to book us in for another night, but we did go away and book our own table online as the reviews were very good for this place. I didn’t find the service any warmer on the night we returned I’m afraid. There was a clear passion there for their food but it all felt quite serious and for this reason I didn’t feel comfortable raising the fact my fish was cold.
In terms of atmosphere, the place itself is nice but it is situated on a busy main road, and it was really quiet the night we were there with only about 3 other tables, so we didn’t find it overly comfortable.
The menu contained some nice sounding dishes but was quite small and was also only available to look at on your phone by scanning a QR code. This is maybe personal preference but I’d have preferred a physical menu which describes the dish in more detail so you know what you’re getting.
So to sum up the food was nice enough, but there were too many issues for me to want to go back, especially not for the amount we paid.

Amazing home made food from start to finish.
Very kind staff that went above and beyond for my girlfriend and I.
She eats gluten free and they catered for all her requirements and adapted dishes to make them suitable.
Great atmosphere and very enjoyable meal.

Absolutely loved our evening meal. We had three courses and every course was excellent.
As well as the food we ordered we were treated to three different courses of bread - a focaccia before the meal, a different bread with the starter and a trio of breadsticks, taralli and a white bread with the main. All homemade and all delicious.
The food was great but the service was even better! So friendly, attentive but never rushed. It was my wife’s birthday & they made the effort to make her feel special. They recommended good local wine and were the friendliest place we’ve eaten in Italy to-date.
We were slightly nervous walking in as it’s right on the road and didn’t immediately look special. But we sat outside next to the greenery and this cut-out the noise so we could happily chat. The atmosphere from the music, the pleasant evening and the orange trees nearby were lovely.
Would 100% recommend!

One of my favorite meals ever in Italy and our favorite meal in Sorrento. Ambiance was excellent - we sat outdoors per our choice but inside it feels like a chic home. Service was outstanding. A true family operation and as guests you are treated with kindness and open arms. Food was outstanding - perfect balance of flavors, excellent portion sizes. The complimentary homemade limoncello cream at the end was new and the best variation of limoncello I’ve had.
Will definitely return if we ever have the fortune of coming back to Sorrento!

I've eaten in a lot of very good restaurants throughout Italy over the years, including a good number with Michelin stars, and without a doubt the quality of the food and the warmth of the service I experienced at Benvenuti in Casa puts them among the best. A pleasant, relaxed atmosphere with a mix of locals and tourists. Creative, inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients that resulted in a truly delicious meal. The presentation was equally as enjoyable as the flavors. A top notch experience, and I will certainly be back.

This was the best meal of our holiday in Italy! So fresh and local with a good selection of Italian pastas and fish. The hosts were father and son and were so accommodating and clearly cared a lot about the restaurant and guests. They had no issue changing out meat in one of the starters and omitting fish from one of the mains, so clearly the food is made fresh to order. Would’ve gone back if it wasn’t our last night!

Loved this place! Small family run restaurant - wife is the chef, husband handles front of house, you might see their son in the dining room. Everything we ordered was amazing and they had a great selection of local wines. Ask to try the homemade bay leaf digestif after dinner!
