Amazing food. Our waiter wasn’t the most attentive but that seems to be the way in Italy.

The four was very good. We had Cacio e Pepe, amatriciana, lasagna, and spaghettone alla nerano. Everything was delicious. The wait staff was fast and friendly. The only complaint would be the tiny portion of tiramisu you get for 9 euros.

Mamma Mia, we started with the cacio e pepe app in which we dipped Italian bed into. I couldn’t stop eating this!! Then we had the pasta carbonara and sciaiatelle. Food was amazing, service great and we people watched as we ate. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

The best pasta ever! We went during peak season in July and were lucky enough to book a table outside. It was beautiful on a summers night. The service was brilliant as well as their food. Highly recommend this pasta restaurant as they just don’t do pasta out other types of meals too. We ended the night with the best tiramisu which I will never forget how good it tasted. Thank you Semola.

The shrimp appetizer was honestly the best shrimp dish I have ever eaten- and the homemade pasta is incredibly fresh.

Should have sat outside as we were squeezed into a small space. The food was excellent, but service was lacking compared to the other places we visited in Sorrento.

Sitting outside on a beautiful evening was lovely. The staff were attentive and really took care of us. The food was delicious. My husband had the Bolognese and I had the Pesto pasta. Both were so fresh and very good.

Everything was lovely the homemade pasta dishes were all fantastic. I understand it’s a pasta bar but I did wish there was a few more secondi protein options.

We went to Semola pasta bar as a 7 people group and everyone ordered a different dish just to see if they are really good at everything or just do 1 or 2 good dishes. We got 3 appetizers, 7 different entrees and 2 desserts. So realistically we ordered 12 different dishes and everything was phenomenal. Our server was Marco and he did a wonderful job and answered every question we had. We left the place with big smiles and full bellies. I definitely recommend the place and ask Marco to help you with your food choices.

Had the BEST pasta here. The lasagna and the ravioli alla caprese were both fantastic. It was a cute place to dine, but our server seemed a little agitated. Otherwise it was perfection!

Delicious fresh pasta in the heart of Sorrento. The scarpeta Cacio e Pepe was to die for. Also the spaghetti alla Nerano was a must!

Food was delicious. The fried medley starter is great but way too much for 2 people plus dinner. Gnocchi was fantastic. Service was a little slower maybe because of staff; we also had to wait about 7 minutes even though we had a reservation

Food was good and so was the service. However, the bill for 6 people was $130 and when we said we wanted to split it between 3 couples for $44 each, they charged us $55 per couple. Being overcharged $33 was a poor reflection on this restaurant and we would not recommend going there.

We had an excellent meal and our server was attentive. We had the fried pasta appetizer, it was very good. My husband had the pastas Carbonara, he said it was the best he’d had. I had spaghetti with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, also very good. I’d recommend this restaurant while in Sorrento.

Service was friendly and quick. My wife had carbonara and it was incredible - my lasagna wasn’t far behind!! Great food, great service and reasonable prices - not much else we could ask for and will be back before leaving Sorrento!

Service was great, food was acceptable, but not excellent, ambiance is a bit crowded and not very cozy, prices at the upper end of the reasonable for the product offered.

We were lucky enough to get to eat at this restaurant! We sat outside but the outdoor porch is just as cool as the inside here the pasta is hanging. The food was delicious and the pasta is all fresh! The menu offered very different, interesting options, and classic Italian dishes. Finished the night with a nice conversation with chef.
