What you'll do

On our Secret Food Tour: Sorrento, we’ll take you through the town’s most charming areas, offering a local’s perspective on the unique food culture that makes this coastal gem so special.

This tour will engage all your senses - from the vibrant colors and sounds of the streets to the enticing aromas of Sorrento’s culinary delights and the timeless beauty of historic homes that often housed nobility.

Soak in the stunning views of palaces and churches that have been lovingly maintained for over a century and continue to be part of daily life. We’re certain that you’ll fall in love with both our food and the rich history of Sorrento.

By the end of your tour, you’ll have tasted some of Sorrento's most beloved dishes and gained a deeper understanding of its culture and traditions.

All the food will be served with quality drinks or if you prefer, non-alcoholic beverages. A thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available.

  • Our journey begins in the heart of Piazza della Vittoria, surrounded by three charming hotels and offering one of the most breathtaking views of the coast.
  • We’ll start by strolling through the cobbled streets of the old town, exploring its artisan shops and ancient eateries. Our first bite will be the delicious Potato Gateau as we meander through narrow streets leading to the scenic Villa Comunale, a small park with beautifully manicured gardens overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.
  • Next, we’ll discover the connection between the legendary Caruso, Lucio Dalla, and Sorrento at a family-run trattoria that’s been passed down for three generations. Here, you’ll savor two iconic Sorrento dishes: handmade Gnocchi alla Sorrentina and Cannelloni, actually invented in Sorrento, all paired with a local glass of red wine.
  • As we spot lemons everywhere, we’ll be inspired to visit the town’s oldest limoncello producer, where you’ll witness the process behind this famous liqueur and enjoy a tasting.
  • We’ll then continue to the elegant Piazza Tasso, where we’ll step away from the busy streets to discover a hidden gem—a family-run shop offering a delightful taste of local cheeses fiordilatte and provola, along with freshly grown Sorrento tomatoes drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and one of the most beloved local dishes, Eggplant Parmigiana.
  • You’ll also learn about the history and significance of lemons in Sorrento’s culinary traditions, with a stop at a local market to explore some key ingredients together and to try some local Lemon Amaretto cookies.
  • To round off the tour, we’ll take you to a less touristy part of Sorrento, not far from the central station, where we’ll surprise you with our final Secret Dish.

WHY HAVE WE CHOSEN SORRENTO OLD TOWN?

The old town of Sorrento winds through the picturesque streets of Via Pietà, Via San Cesareo, Corso Italia, and Via Tasso, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, beauty and amazing food.

Discover the elegance of Sorrento’s historical buildings, and the serene San Francesco complex with its beautiful cloister, a sought-after venue for both Italian and international weddings. Sorrento’s past comes alive as you explore historic residences, ancient seats like Porta and Dominova, and charming piazzas.

As you wander through the narrow lanes, artisan shops captivate with Sorrento’s famous inlaid woodcraft, alongside vibrant food markets and small family-run food producers. Visit a local limoncello factory, where you can witness the creation of this beloved liqueur and enjoy a refreshing sample. The town’s culinary traditions extend further, with trattorias offering local specialties - think of handmade pasta, and the famous gnocchi alla Sorrentina, topped with rich tomato sauce and cheese.

Here it’s hard to miss the fresh cheeses, including creamy fiordilatte (cow-milk mozzarella), and lovely to indulge in sweet treats, and lemon-infused pastries.

Sorrento’s old town is not only a journey through history and architecture but also a feast for the senses, where every corner invites you to savor its rich culinary heritage and beauty.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customers an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us your bank statement and we will refund as a gesture of good will.
