Belvedere - SORRENTO

Disappointed overall given the 9.3 rating. When we arrived (7.30/8pm there was no one else in the restaurant, there was no atmosphere at all- not even music playing. The food was ok (apart from the alien green foam on my chicken main- which was really off putting even if it tasted ok… . It all felt very 1960’s! They also don’t tell you that you have to wear trousers, so men in shorts beware!! The saving grace was the incredible view- but from where we were sat, all the other view side restaurants were buzzing, so felt really let down.

All the waiters were amazing. Extremely friendly and gave lots of recommendations for local ingredients, dishes and wines. Service was fast but whilst also allowing adequate time between courses. Buratta starter was amazing as was the pasta dish we shared for our first course. An old recipe dating back to the 1800s containing scorpion fish. The sauce was unbelievable as was the presentation. We had the catch of the day for our main which was also outstanding.

A terrace.... a painting on ground; authentic place

High-level dinner in a refined setting with a wonderful view. friendly and very professional staff. impeccable the mauritious maitre.

Gotta try the hotel restaurant plus we were very tired from a tour to Capri. They are very nice with the service. Nice bread to eat at first and also a stuffed zucchini flower. We asked for natural water and they put 2 bottles on the table. We only drank one and they tried to charge for them both. My wife got a gnocchi and so did my mum. It was ok but the gnocchi was so small and the tomato sauce was so dominant that you didn’t even taste the gnocchi. I had a T-bone which I asked for medium to well done and it was. I can’t work out the Italian levels of cooking steak as I’ve ordered medium and got rare. The meat didn’t taste fresh but was ok to eat. The mashed potato came in a little bowl but tasted like something out of a packet. The service was super (except for the extra bottle out on table) but the food needs a little lift.
