Osteria Estoria - Ristorante Piano di Sorrento — Restaurant in Piano di Sorrento

My wife and I fancy delicious, exquisite food. Osteria Estoria accomplished both without sacrificing one for the other. There were bountiful options from their seemingly small menu - typically a green flag for us (the small menu aspect). We had the Octopus starter which was cooked and paired to perfection - paired with fresh tomatoes and an eggplant foam. We eat octopus nearly every time it is available; this was the best I have ever had. We then had the "cazzaroul" stuffed with Parmigiano eggplant. This dish was unique for us and was very delightful. For our final plate we had a long, crusted pasta stuffed with cheese and a fish that was described to us by our server as similar to grouper. This was served in a flavorful tomato sauce. The service was on point. We were surprised at the quality and quantity of food at this price point. We would typically expect half the portions for the amount we spent, in America. My only regret is that we didn't find out about Osteria Estoria sooner - this is our final night in Piano Di Sorrento. If/when we come back, we...

Tucked just off the main drag in Piano Di Sorrento, this is an absolute gem worth the walk. Gorgeous covered patio just beyond the gated entrance keeps the atmosphere intimate and rustic. All the pricing is relatively on par to other options in the area. However as soon as the food reaches your table it's clear what makes Osteria Estoria worth the little detour. The beautiful plating of every dish halted our party in their tracks before they could dig in, but once we did there was not a member of our party of 6 (which included one vegetarian, two folks with gluten intolerances, and at least one picky eater, myself) who wasn't immediately raving with every bite.

Their move to provide house made gluten free bread with the fresh bread for the table was a top tier move.

After a long day of touring the area, and some frustration deciding where we wanted to eat, stumbling across Osteria Estoria was like finding an oasis in a desert.

Thank you to our server Giulia, and the whole crew for such a...

The waiter or maybe the chef, his name is Luigi, is an extremely polite, gentle and friendly guy. He speaks perfect English and described all the available dishes in detail to us. Everything sounded amazing, so we asked for his preference. He said that the reason their menu is not big because they only use the freshest products available at the time and think through each dish what they serve to be the best. That is why he can't choose, he loves all of them, we needed to make a tough decision by ourselves. Everything tasted amazing, if we had more time in the area, we would definitely go back to try the other dishes. He recommended a great wine to go with our dinner, we ordered both meat and fish dishes, that is why we got 2 small, half size bottles, 1 red and another rose. The dessert and coffee were great too! Highly recommended place to go to when in Piano...
