Ristorante Verdemare

Sorrento


Despite its name, 'Green Sea' doesn't offer any water views. What it does deliver, however, are simple, tasty, surf-centric dishes, served in a spacious, rustic interior or on a shady, verdant patio. Highlights include house-made scialatielli pasta with seafood, not to mention some spectacular homemade desserts; seek out the fluffy torta di ricotta e pera (ricotta and pear cake).

The restaurant is located just outside central Sorrento, on the winding road that leads west to Massa Lubrense.
