Stelluccia — Restaurant in Sant'Agnello

It is a small, nondescript, family-run place up in the Hills over Sorrento - actually quite close to St.Agata. A friend of mine brought me there - if he wouldn't have done so, I would have passed by the place. The atmosphere is very friendly and familiar - the place doesn't look like much - but the kitchen and the food that comes from it wonderful - they also have a wide choice of Pizza - which comes from the wood-fired oven - delicious, as my friend told me. We had some nice fried artichokes as starter (they could have added a pinch more salt to it) - perfect home-made Pasta with Neapolitan meet ragout - fresh, fried small fish from the Gulf of Naples and an excellent, fresh grilled octopus (just with lemon, a tiny little bit of salt and freshly grinded black pepper - a culinary dream) with some perfectly steamed broccoli from the Restaurants own garden - all in all this was a wonderful, pleasant and extremely tasty surprise - when being back in the area, I will return...

We ate here twice during our stay in Sant'Agnello. Once for lunch and once for dinner - whilst the lunch was amazing (we had pasta then fish and meat mixed grills with vegetables), the star of the show is definitely the pizzas they serve during dinner service.

The two pizzas we had were the best pizzas we had in all of Italy, even better than the pizza we had in Naples which we'd been told is meant to be the best place in Italy for pizza.

They were huge and even so, we devoured them because they were just that good!

Our waiter was very friendly both times we visited and our B&B hosts said it is a really lovely family run restaurant they visit themselves hence why they recommended it to us. It did...

We were very disappointed with the whole dining experience. It was the worst meal and the most expensive we had during our trip . It was recommended by our hotel manager as being authentic. Far from , the meat was hard , the stuffed zucchini were in a pizza batter , never had them that way . Could barely see the zucchini flowers. Not to mention that the restaurant is not really clean , the cook was wearing a dirty uniform. And the owner was argent. We left there upset , wishing we had stayed in Sorrento for dinner , it would have been less expensive and more satisfying. Do yourself a favour skip this place eat...
