Me and my partner had the 10 course tasting menu. As someone who has previously eaten at the Eiffel tower and the Shard, I genuinely cannot describe how absolutely amazing the food was in comparison. The staff was brilliant too, as they were very attentive and we didn't feel pressured at all into leaving quickly, even though our long menu did make us leave after the opening hours. They even helped us to get a taxi and we got to try the chef's own limoncello, which was absolutely brilliant. This is definitely a place I would come back to. It was the best meal and experience I've ever had.

Just experienced the gran tasting menu of Il Buco with the wine pairing.

Can easily say it is the best meal either of us have ever had, and the staff were exemplary. At regular points not only did the waiters, but the head chef himself came to check on us.

The food itself was to the highest standard. With the wine it carried us through a journey all over Italy - particular highlights were the gnocchi, fish tartar and the deserts.

Dined at Il Buco recently, the night started quite well, being seated in the newly renovated dining area. We were the second table in for the evening. Customer service in the beginning was to a high quality but as more guests were seated the customer service died down. For long time whilst eating our meals we went without any water on our table, this I have never seen before in a Michelin Star restaurant. The food we found to be quite plain too and we overheard another time saying the food needed salt, which we completely agreed with. There were also no non alcoholic drinks on the menu, which was a shame as both my partner and I don’t drink.

The tasting menu was incredible! We loved the flavor profile, and the risks taken by Chef Aversa were bold, adventurous, and absolutely hit the mark. The staff was kind and informative without being overbearing. We loved the energy of the restaurant and the atmosphere added to what was already a wonderful evening. Thank you, Chef, for a fantastic experience. It was a wonderful ending to our trip to Italy!

My wife and I read the reviews and had high expectations but were quite disappointed. Since we have tried amazing food across the world and in our home country , maybe our expectations were too high? We both ordered the seafood tasting menu, and were quite disappointed with some of the food quality and the price point. For $130 euros per person, we expected something of higher quality than what was provided. If this was priced at a more reasonable value, let’s say around $80 euros, we wouldn’t have been as disappointed. My recommendation is to not order the tasting menu and order the dishes separately, such as a pasta dish and a meat dish, you will save a lot more money and get the same amount of food then the tasting menu. The one real positive was the dessert , as the lemon dessert was phenomenal. But unfortunately, better value can be found elsewhere in my opinion.

We did fish tasting menu. Over priced.
Disappointed with the experience compared to the price. Food was whatever and it is hard to believe this is the Michelin star taste. Two main dishes were too salty for me. But the deserts were good. Interior design was whatever too. Random tile decoration. Cheap tile on floor and there is no noise absorbing materials so you can hear other table conversations. Staffs were a bit robotic and they didn’t feel too welcoming either.

Il Buco è un ristorante stellato Michelin che si propone di offrire un’esperienza gastronomica di alto livello, basata sulla valorizzazione dei prodotti locali e sulla creatività dello chef Peppe Aversa. Il locale è ricavato negli spazi di un ex monastero nel cuore di Sorrento, e offre un’atmosfera elegante e raffinata, con un servizio impeccabile e attento.
Ho scelto il menù degustazione di pesce, che prevedeva una serie di piatti crudi e cotti, tutti presentati con cura e originalità. Ho apprezzato in particolare il crudo di mare, con una varietà di pesci freschissimi e salse delicate, il polpo scottato con crema di patate e olive, i tubetti con ragù di calamari e pomodorini, e il soufflé alle mandorle e limone, una delizia per il palato4. Il tutto accompagnato da un ottimo vino bianco della zona, consigliato dal sommelier.
Il Buco è un ristorante che merita la tappa, per chi vuole assaporare la cucina sorrentina rivisitata in chiave moderna e innovativa, senza rinunciare alla qualità e alla tradizione. Un’esperienza sensoriale indimenticabile, che vale il prezzo, comunque irrisorio data la qualità.

Great place for a date. Perfect service and delicious food. Great wine selection. Maybe just a little to bright inside, could be a little bit darker. Anyway the food was great, perfect wine suggested by sommelier and the highlight was the desert!!! Desserts were AMAZING!!!

For a Michelin star restaurant I would expect a menu that was creative and perfectly prepared. While the service was amazing, the menu was a little....eh and a few of the items were not prepared properly. Overcooked octopus, lack of seasoning, etc.

Cena espectacular con el montaje de los platos por parte del Chef y su equipo in situ.
Los platos exquisitos y tanto la atención como las explicaciones de la comida y el maridaje por parte del maître ????.

We went here for dinner and had one of the tasting menus complete with the wine pairing. The food was very good and the wine pairings worked well! There seems to be a little disconnect from the kitchen to the plating station though as the food wasn’t as hot as I thought it should have been! But I would definitely recommend giving it a go!

A mixed experience and middle rating due to the Michelin star. The beginning of the experience was marred by the iPad menu format - not elegant and it is slow and not well configured. Picking the wine took way too long- looking at a screen. The service was lovely- warm and friendly. The lamb was delicious as was the wine we selected. Other dishes were good but nothing special. We finished dinner at 10:30, and it was surprising to very much have the sense of closing up the restaurant. We could seen and hear bottles being put in the trash. So not a gracious ending. Again not a Michelin experience.

Service was extremely slow after the appetizers. Some of the most bland food we have ever had at a higher end restaurant. Plate presentation was very good. However, hard to believe they have Michelin rating

Amazing meal, the lobster pasta was the best dish I had on my trip. Fun interior too.

We didn’t have the chance to eat here but need to give the highest praise to Il Buco’s staff. We had an emergency situation that is not related to the restaurant at all but asked their staff for help out of sheer desperation when others nearby couldn’t or wouldn’t. Miraculously, they earnestly assisted and had a great network of kind people that got us out of a huge problem when I thought for sure we had no chance. Grazie mille ragazzi!!

Probably the best food I’ve ever eaten. We think about this restaurant often and can not wait to come back.

Some outstanding food. Best Jus I've ever had (lamb dish). The strawberry dessert was the best dessert both of us have ever eaten. Restaurant is beautiful. Although the ambience was quiet but we put this down to it being lunchtime in mid October. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

Repas décevant. La qualité des mets n’est pas au rendez vous. C’est bon sans plus. Loin du niveau une étoile Michelin. Très loin! Et du coup beaucoup trop cher pour ce que l’on nous sert.
A priori décrit comme dans un ancien monastère… mais décoration très moderne qui n’a rien à voir. Je ne vois vraiment pas pourquoi la communication de l’ ambiance du restaurant se base la dessus.
Le point plus : service efficace et prévenant. Sur ce point, rien à changer.

Bel emplacement avec des petites terrasses extérieures intimes. Nous avons essayé les menus dégustation qui étaient excellents. Service attentif. À essayer.
