Central restaurant and pizzeria steps from Piazza Tasso serving Gragnano pasta with clams and Neapolitan pizza.
Ristorante Pizzeria Tasso is a central restaurant and pizzeria at Via Correale 11/d, steps from Piazza Tasso in Sorrento, Campania, southern Italy. The venue combines Mediterranean cooking with Neapolitan pizza, which makes it a flexible choice for groups with mixed tastes. Published descriptions name paccheri di Gragnano with lemon clams as a main pasta dish, a reference to the dried pasta from nearby Gragnano that holds sauce well, alongside classic Neapolitan pizzas and a lemon delight dessert that draws on the peninsula's famous citrus. The kitchen uses fresh seafood and local ingredients, and the menu is broad enough to cover quick pizza meals and fuller pasta and fish courses. The atmosphere is casual and bustling, with the typical sound of a busy central restaurant, and the dress code is relaxed. Prices are moderate, placing it in the middle of the Sorrento range and making it a practical choice for families and travellers on a budget. The wine list includes house wines and Campanian whites and reds by the glass or bottle, and beer is usually available for pizza. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, although exact hours are not confirmed in sources, so visitors should check on the day. Walk-ins are usually possible outside peak evening hours, while groups and summer weekends may benefit from calling ahead. Its location a short walk from Piazza Tasso, the Corso Italia and the old town makes it convenient for travellers who want to eat before or after sightseeing, or before catching a train or bus from the centre. The restaurant offers a straightforward, reliable meal rather than a destination dining experience.
