    Never have I ever eaten under a lemon tree. The atmosphere was lovely! The food was delicious.

    The lemon sauce was not as “lemony” as it could have been.

    The setting among the lemon trees made our meal memorable. The food was excellent and portions were just right. Delightful experience!

    The environment was great, the restaurant was filled with lemons, as it is the main theme. Only negative point, the restaurant has no climatization and it is outdoors in the middle of a lovely farm, and given the temperature was very it wasnt as pleasant as one would expect. Serviço was great fast, nothing else to point out. The food was good also, with simplicity and some quality.

    This was a very unique experience, dining in a lemon grove! Food was great, service was excellent. It’s not a cheap dinner but well worth the splurge while in Sorrento.

    The staff couldn’t care less about us. We just walked in and had to look for someone to ask for our reserved table. The heat just takes away the entire ambience. They should invest in some fans or something to keep it cool and comfortable for the customers. It seemed like I offended the waiter when I asked to change my drink because I didn’t like it. Isn’t that all part of the customers right. Why would I suffer through a drink I don’t like. I’m there to enjoy myself. He eventually did fix it but I did not appreciate his attitude.

    Really nice location, the food was really small portions for the price ( 5 raviolis for about 16 euro) but the dessert was realllly good!

    The waiters are very stressful to watch. Such beautiful surroundings but they run round like headless chickens so can’t focus is beauty. Service was ok but not particularly friendly which is incredible for here as everywhere I’ve gone has been so friendly! Ordered meatball tagliatelle described as mini meatballs were size of gold balls and frozen inside which made me think out the freezer. The beauty of the place is noted but need to work on their front of house skills oh and check food is defrosted

    The setting was beautiful but the food really let them down. Lemon chicken was bitter and the pasta sauce tasted as if it was out of a jar. Very disappointed

    The environment was truly magical. I wish I had better things to stay about the food but it was extremely disappointing. We ordered the grilled shrimp and it was inedible. The shrimp were overcooked to the point they had a mashed potato consistency. I have no idea how anyone could overcook them that much. We ordered the lemon ravioli which lacked any flavor. The tomato gnocchi was the only edible dish in my opinion. Overall I would suggest going for a tour of the lemon grove but skip eating at this restaurant.

    While the atmosphere was unique and what drew us in, our meal here was our least favorite of a 15 day trip and it was also our most expensive. Being a party of 8 ( 4 adults and 4 kids) we got to try several thing and the food was just ok, it was edible but certainly not fresh or unique. For the price tag we hoped for more. If ever in Sorrento again we would not go back when there are so many other options.

    This restaurant was very charming. However, service was slow and portions very small. When we asked for something additional the server was almost in shock. They did not make you feel overly welcome.

    This restaurant has great atmosphere. The food varies from truly excellent (anything with citrus is a must) to mostly okay. The desserts are wonderful. The staff could not be nicer, but they will try to upsell you on menu items.

    It was end of season so not too crowded. Actually only four tables were filled. They filled us all right there by the bar rather than under romantic lights. They did put heaters on. Just wasn't very romantic. Seemed like staff was more interested with talking to each other and putting other tables and chairs and umbrellas away Just disappointed in the whole feel. Also, food was just ok. Probably the worst meal we had during our trip.

    The location in a lemon grove was superb and magical. Despite it being really busy with a party of 30 celebrating a wedding the next day and a fairly full service the 3 waiters were excellent and made you feel like family even though they were rushed off their feet. The food was wonderful and the head waiters' theatrical touches added to the sense of occasion. I would highly recommend this space to anyone wanting an experience that is more than just food.

    This restaurant was enchanting and a wonderful find on Google. Clearly most if not all the food is grown there so great Italian farm to table. So fresh! Super friendly service and we are already going back again for lunch after an excursion tomorrow. Loved the gift shop and their home made olive oil infused with lemon is divine! Cooking classes also offered that would be amazing I’m sure.

    This restaurant was a great find! The location was very convenient within the city centre, and space itself was absolutely stunning (especially at night). The service was very good, all the wait staff that came to our table were very nice. The food was delicious and you can tell they use very fresh ingredients. Would recommend to anyone that is coming to Sorrento!

    A server didn’t come up to us for at least 20 minutes… the drinks were bad and the food was just okay. Felt bad for our server because I think he had every table in the place but overall not worth it would not go again… paid just as much at other places that were 20x better

    We chose this restaurant as it was close to the museum we were attending afterwards for a show. The setting is lovely and the atmosphere/ ambience very nice. Service was good altho we were a bit pressed for time towards the end so dessert was a bit rushed. Overall tho a very nice meal, albeit a bit pricey.
