O’Murzill

Sorrento


With just six gingham-clothed tables in what resembles a homely front room with the kitchen beyond, this restaurant looks as though it belongs in a small village rather than in the heart of Sorrento. The reassuringly brief menu concentrates on traditional Neapolitan dishes like pasta with lobster and no-fuss antipasti such as grilled mushrooms.

There's no complimentary limoncello or tomato-topped bruschette, just well-priced and honest home-style cooking.
