Terrazza Bosquet

Terrazza Bosquet is the hotel terrace restaurant of the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, at Piazza Tasso 34 in Sorrento, Campania, southern Italy. The terrace sits above the Bay of Naples, with a view toward Vesuvius and the sea, and the setting is among the most scenic dining spots in the town. The hotel is one of Sorrento's historic grand hotels, and the restaurant follows that tradition with formal service and a polished, elegant atmosphere. The cuisine is Mediterranean fine dining, using local fish, citrus and Campanian produce. Dishes named in published descriptions include red prawn carpaccio, burrata with raspberries and caprese ravioli, which show a mix of fresh seafood, dairy and a playful take on the classic caprese. The dining room is calm and romantic, with a relatively low noise level and an emphasis on views at dusk. Dress is smart, and visitors typically wear resort or evening attire. Prices are in the top category for Sorrento, reflecting the hotel setting and the view. The beverage programme is expected to feature Campanian and Italian wines, along with cocktails suited to a terrace evening. Service is offered in the evening during the season, and hours should be confirmed by phone at +39 081 877 7111. Reservation is essential, since the number of terrace tables is limited and hotel guests also dine here; booking several days to a week ahead is prudent in summer. The central location on Piazza Tasso makes the terrace easy to reach on foot from most of the old town. The restaurant suits couples, anniversaries and travellers who want a classic grand-hotel evening above the bay.
