Ristorante il Buco

Sorrento


Housed in a former monks’ wine cellar, this sophisticated restaurant offers far-from-monastic cuisine. The emphasis is on innovative regional cooking, so expect nuanced dishes like artisan pasta paired with seafood, cauliflower, garlic and a smoked broth, or seared bass served on crunchy cabbage with lentil caviar. In summer there’s outdoor seating near one of the city’s ancient gates. Reservations recommended.

For the full monty, try the six-course tasting menu for €95.
