Our Review

Da Emilia is not somewhere we go for polished service or innovative cooking. We go because sitting beside the water in Marina Grande, surrounded by the noise and energy of the old fishing village, feels quintessentially Sorrento. The cooking is straightforward, portions are generous and the whole experience is wonderfully informal. Recent online reviews are more divided on consistency and value than its legendary reputation might suggest, so we would keep the recommendation focused on atmosphere and traditional simplicity, rather than presenting it as Sorrento's best gastronomic meal.

How to find it

Via Marina Grande 62. Walk from Sorrento's historic centre through the old gateway and down to Marina Grande. The return walk is uphill.

What We Loved / Recommend

Gnocchi, mussels, seafood pasta or fried fish. Keep it simple—that suits Da Emilia best.
Best for:  
Casual lunches, families, groups and first-time visitors to Marina Grande.

Good to Know

They operate on a no-reservations basis, so expect to queue at busy times. Arriving slightly before the main dinner rush is a good strategy if you particularly want a waterfront table.
