Ristorante Il Buco | Michelin Star Restaurant in Sorrento

Ristorante Il Buco

Located near the Piazza Sant’Antonio, Ristorante Il Buco is considered one of the best fine dining destinations in Sorrento. The restaurant is built in the former wine cellar of a 16th century monastery, a refined and elegant dining space that features stone vaulted ceilings, soft lighting and natural elements —offering a warm and inviting ambiance to tuck into and take refuge from the bustle of the city streets. 

Ristorante Il Buco

Owned and run by chef Peppe Aversa, Ristorante Il Buco earned its coveted Michelin star for its modern interpretation of the classic cuisine of the Sorrento Coast, back in 2004 —and has proudly retained it ever since. Here, diners can look forward to masterfully crafted dishes made with finest-quality ingredients, using innovative techniques that celebrate simplicity; the pure and direct flavours of the featured ingredient, and delicate, artful touches —that not only delight the eye but the palate as well.

The menu à la carte offers an intriguing selection of dishes to choose from, which all reflect chef Peppe’s love and deep respect for the culinary treasures of the territory, and the given moment in the season. A must-try is the spaghetti with lemon scented scorpion fish with bottarga (dried fish roe) and sun-dried tomatoes, one of the staples on the ever-changing seasonal menu, and easily one of the best pasta dishes served up in Sorrento. Or else, diners can opt for one of the tasting menus that offer an unforgettable gastronomic experience, guaranteed to stimulate the palate and all sensory else, one enchanting dish at a time.
