+1Genuinely excellent food. Charming service where they couldn’t do enough for you. They’ll even pick you up and drop you off to your accommodation. Highly recommend.

6.5/10The food is excellent, though the outdoor seating in the restaurant is in what can best be described as an alley, complete with exhaust from the motorcycles speeding off from the nearby harbor. Not the greatest, ambiance, but the fresh catch of the day was outstanding.

10/10This restaurant was recommended by our hotel, which was also located near the port of Sorrento. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the fresh seafood and pizza. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent.

10/10Such a wonderful restaurant! We had dined at Vela Bianca several times the last time we were in Sorrento a few years ago so naturally we returned on our recent visit. We were delighted that it was still as delicious. Michael and his team do a great job at making everyone feel welcome. The service and food are both exceptional. The ravioli caprese and the sea bass are exceptional. And don't miss the lemon delight for dessert.

9.5/10Very intimate setting nestled next to a hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive and the food was flavorful and fresh. They offered free transportation from our hotel to and from the restaurant which was so convenient. We started with the Buffalo mozzarella that was served with fresh tomato and arugula. Fresh focaccia was also served on the house and paired perfectly. We had the fresh pasta and tuna and the beef fillet with polenta which were both excellent, Save room for dessert as the lemon Sorrento special was a fitting end for an amazing meal.

A bit difficult to find....coming from the city center you need to find the stairs. Once down the 6 flights or so, walk down the road until you find the port. Beautiful entrance and lovely welcome. Then they sat ne and forgot me! I had to track down a server to take my order and then they stayed on track. The sea bass (secondi) was fantastic. The peppered mussels were a bit bland, but fresh. The panne cotta had a strange film and lumpiness to it but the inverted top part was delicious. Vini biancas were ok but nothing stellar. They were generous enough to provide Limoncello as a disgestive (gratis).

10/10Expect to be wowed! We started with the mussels and clams appetizer. They were perfectly cooked loaded with flavor of garlic and herbs. We each had something different, seafood risotto, filet with truffle mashed potatoes, fried calamari and squid, deviled prawns and chicken. Everyone was so delighted with their food. We took bread and sopped up every drop of the deviled prawn sauce. Then for dessert we had the tiramisu and lemon delight to share. Could not decide which was the best, because they were both remarkable. Our daughter wanted to go upstairs and capture the sunset, so Michael put her on the elevator himself. Limoncello rounded out the perfect meal!
