Our Guestbook
“ We took our niece to Azz and all three of us left feeling very satisfied. All the food was exceptional, particularly the pizza, which was outstanding. Rosario is a gracious host who genuinely cares that her patrons are enjoying the cuisine. She is lovely, and the charming little dog, Nino, adds to the establishment's appeal. We are staying in Sorrento for the week and look forward to returning a few more times before our departure. ”
“ Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Seems like a family ran Tavern, the main chef has that classic friendly Italian character, he often came out and chats with the customers. They state on their menu that all the food is homemade, so there could be longer waiting times, but it is worth every second of waiting. Personally we didn't feel like we waited very long and the food was spectacular. A very authentic Italian feel, the tavern has a homely character. Good value for money. A must visit restaurant! ”
“ Delicious food at great prices! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the best spots we found in Sorrento. Be sure to come early — there’s usually a queue in the evening (and honestly, I haven’t seen queues like this at any other restaurant in town, which says a lot!). Totally worth it (went there twice!) ”
“ An absolutely incredible overall dining experience. THE BEST lasagne I have ever had! The margarita pizza was a game changer as well. The small quaint atmosphere, and family staff (who are also the owners) made us feel right at home! Travel Advisor was spot on!!! You’ll love their little buddy Nino, who proudly protects the perimeter! ”
“ By far the best restaurant in Sorrento in mine and my husband opinion, best priced too. Staff were very friendly despite being very busy and working long hours. It was family run and had the cutest little mascot that was a great hit with all of the customers. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back. ”
