Expert review of Di Leva
Watch the boats coming in at this little Sorrento café.
Right on the harbour, this little café that hasn't changed since the 1950s is a no-nonsense purveyor of fresh fish, pasta and drinks. Grab a table and drink in the view. Pictures of Sophia Loren inside the café are a reminder that La SIgnora made Vittoria de Sica's Scandal in Sorrento here and, so it's rumoured, she insisted on eating here on a recent visit.
Food and drink:
The best plan is to see what's on the specials board and order it. On my last visit it was a small firm-fleshed fish served with a simple salad and a drizzle of oil and piece of lemon. A few patatine fritte (chips) and a beer went down very well too.
Ambience:
Thanks to the location, this is an extremely popular place for lunch and large groups of young people and families with kids.
Service:
It's no frills: brisk and efficient.
Location:
Thanks to the steep walk down from the centre, Di Leva tends not to be frequented by the tour bus brigade - even though the bus service (Linea D) is an option if you don't fancy the trek back up again.
Price advice:
Nothing is cheap in Sorrento so don't be surprised when that little fish, salad and a beer comes to 25 euros.
