The great-grandmother of Gennaro and Luciano, the current owners, started the restaurant over 90 years ago. Since then, like many Italian businesses, it has remained a family business. The pretty terrace overlooking the beach of Marina Grande and the breathtaking view of the bay of Sorrento still appeal to gourmets. The cuisine, mainly composed of fish and seafood, is always very fresh, depending on the day's arrival. A warm welcome from Gennaro who is also a sommelier and will advise you on the best local wines.

The food.: My partner could not understand the special, the waiter talked so fast and impatiently. He ordered the salmon pasta instead, which he thought would come with at least some actual pieces of salmon in it. It did not. Not that we could see. It was salmon flavored sauce, yes, but with no visible pieces of salmon in the farfelle, for $18. Why not put some actual pieces of salmon in it??? Farfelle in salmon sauce, very disappointing. But that is not the waiter's fault; his rude impatient attitude was.
Lastly, we went to pay the bill, and with the SAME waiter standing right beside her behind the counter, the woman manager, very friendly, put us on the spot by saying: "Would you like to add a tip?"
(We always tip, but not for no service). We said: "No, we felt too rushed." She seemed shocked, so did he, and she said "Really??" We just said "Yes," and hurried away. If you treat people like you're barely tolerating them, dont allow them to relax with wine when asked (15 minutes would have been great; we NEVER linger AFTER dinner as many do, so whats the difference?), then ignore them once served, what do you expect? A tip is for friendly service
