Sorrento Vacations

There are a lot of restaurants that offer up very good Italian cuisine. Whether they are the large or small restaurant, you will not go far off to try the savory pasta dishes, pizzas or any of the fresh seafood or fish dishes. For those with a sweet tooth, Italy is renowned for its gelato and you will be hard press to find any gelato parlour better than Davide Il gelato.

 

Shopping
Wandering through the shops in Sorrento you will find some obvious clues of what this area is famous for. Although these items may be a little hefty to cart back, if you can manage it, it is well worth the effort. The locally produced olive oil is special enough to receive a D.O.P. label (items typical of the area and a guarantee of quality). Limoncello is a lemon based liqueur and the micro-climate in Sorrento produces a lemon with a unique and intense fragrance.
