What to do


At the table

Characteristic is the presence of hundreds of clubs, very popular with the inhabitants of the area even in winter. All the traditional Neapolitan cuisine is represented, with an excellent presence of rotisseries, street food and pizzerias suitable for every shopping possibility and of an excellent quality level. Many restaurants are positioned on an average level always with an excellent quality / price ratio always very favorable compared to other areas of Italy. There are also some of the most important Italian restaurants, very often combined with farms with totally organic food production. There are many farms, which serve food produced directly on their farm.

A feature of recent years is the search for traditional dishes, with the use of local products.

Famous is the cow's milk mozzarella (fiordilatte), first courses such as cannelloni, lasagna, desserts such as casatiello, sfogliatella, caprese.

Buffalo mozzarella is not produced, a prerogative of other areas of Campania.

There are no ethnic restaurants and American fast food on the Sorrentine Peninsula.

In the evening, in most of the clubs, you can have dinner until 11.30 pm. Very late dining is a common feature with many other tourist resorts in the South; it is customary to go out late (around 6pm) to do the 'struscio' (walk) in the square, and to end the evening in a restaurant.
