Da Gigino

Sorrento


With flower-topped tables and a film-like setting on an intimate side street, Da Gigino sets a charming scene for competent, homestyle feasting. Although a little heavy on the oil, the antipasto della casa heaves with gorgeous grilled and pickled vegetables, while pasta dishes include that Lazio classic, spaghetti alla amatriciana (cured pork, pecorino and tomato).

Da Gigino also serves pizzas, though not the best in town.
