Great service and an incredible dinner. I have been to many Michelin Star restaurants (1,2, and 3 star), and this restaurant was one of the best 1-star that I've been to. If you have a chance to go to Il Buco, get the tasting menu w/ wine pairings. You won't be disappointed.

The food was exceptional, and the staff was so welcoming and made us feel like friends! Roberto in an amazing host and it’s obvious he has a passion for his work. We enjoyed a tour of the restaurant and wine cellar after dinner as well. This is such a special place and we hope to come back again someday! Thank you to the team (Jessica, Roberto, Phillipe, Fernando) for an unforgettable evening.

My wife and I are at Il Buco on the last night of our honeymoon and we could not have had a better send-off! I had the "I trust you" chef's tasting menu, while my wife ordered a la carte, and we both loved every bit of our experience

We first visited here 10 years ago and booked in again as we were so impressed the first time around and we were not disappointed. It was also great to see the same waiter all these years later. First time around we went there twice and will more than likely go back again during this holiday. If you love fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere this is a must.

The food was excellent. Highly recommend the beef cheek. It just melts on your mouth it’s so tender. The chef stopped by the visit and took a picture with us. Nice touch! Will definitely return on our next visit.

There were some stand out flavours. The octopus was the most tender, the risotto with broccoli and eel was my favourite

We have had many fine dining experiences including 3 Michelin Stars. This is as good an experience as we have had. It was relaxed, the staff were friendly but professional and gave service the utmost care. The food was as good as we have tasted. The Turbot in particular was fantastic and plenty of innovations such as a brocolli sausage roll. It works ! The chef, Pepe is out between courses seeking guests feedback. One of our best meals ever.

We were celebrating my husband’s 65th birthday with our adult children. The evening was spectacular. Our servers were very attentive and the food was delicious. We were there for at least 3 hours and enjoyed every course. Our servers brought out my husband’s dessert with a candle. It was truly a memorable experience. I hope to visit Sorrento again and enjoy another meal at Il Buca!
