“ The best grilled octopus I’ve ever had!! We loved it so much that we visited twice during our stay in Sorrento. The view from the restaurant is absolutely stunning overlooking Mount Vesuvius. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a romantic date with great food, good vibes, beautiful views, and excellent service! ”
“ This is an amazing restaurant. Clearly owned by people who care about quality and their customers. The food was super fresh. The grilled octopus was superb. The tomato salad was even amazing, well dressed and seasoned and simple but delicious. We had clam spaghetti and the clams were super sweet no sand, pasta was perfectly cooked. The spaghetti was generous portion, the server even recommended we not get a 4th order and we shared 3 portions and she was right. We went with a large party of 5 adults 3 kids and one kid was celebrating 5 year old birthday and the owner brought out a giant sparkling candle and all the staff all sang happy birthday to her. It was overall delightful. I would rate it more than 5 stars if I could. The panna cotta and lemon cake desserts were also very fresh and delicious. Note that there is a little parking lot 5 euro/hr prior to the main street. The main street the restaurant is on is restricted from tourists driving (you will get fined). ”
“ Porta Marina Seafood is a great spot for fresh fish and seafood. The place is small, cozy, and has a really relaxed vibe, with food that never disappoints. We ordered several dishes and every single one was excellent – full of flavor and freshness. The staff is friendly, and the prices are fair. This is my favorite seafood place – every time I visit my family in Italy, I make sure to come back here. ”

“ Stopped by here for lunch with my parents. Everyone from the maître d’ to the servers were so welcoming and kind. The seafood was so fresh and my dad couldn’t stop gushing about the grilled octopus. The lemon delight dessert was the refreshing cherry on top of a delicious seaside meal. The restaurant has a great view of the marina and is a nice downhill walk from downtown Sorrento. ”
