Porta Marina Seafood - Sorrent

The best dining experience in Sorrento! We had a slight queue to wait for a table, but this was just an opportunity to grab a cold beer from the nearby shop, bask in the early evening sun and enjoy the sounds and sights of the marina. Once we were seated the staff were incredibly attentive, serving us extremely promptly and giving us the full breakdown of the special dishes available from that day's catch. The food was sensational, the wine was excellent, and the value for money could not be beaten compared to other nearby restaurants. An absolute gem of a family run restaurant.

Incredibly fresh seafood, cheaper prices than at Sorrento proper, outdoor seats fronting the beach, and helpful staff make for an unforgettable experience at this restaurant in the midst of a working fisherman's village. They are always worth the short descent and eventual climb back to Sorrento. For appetizers, their sauteed mussels were prepared well and simply, beards removed and still sweet as they were unbelievably fresh. Portions were very generous. They served nearly an entire loaf of bread, fresher than most restaurants, which went well with the buttery sauce at the bottom of the plate. Their grilled mixed seafood was delicious, each piece cooked to perfection. The prawn was soft and sweet, the calamari charred wonderfully, and the fish cooked well. Their spaghetti with mixed seafood was just as wonderful, the pasta firm and the sauces from all the seafood (octopus, shrimp, mussels and clam) pooling in the bottom. Don't forget to mix in the cherry tomatoes hanging around separately! Service was friendly and quick. Sitting outside can be a bit cramped but it does give a good view of the sea. I can imagine this place would be great for watching sunsets as well. We can't wait to come back and try the other menu items! We highly recommend this place to anyone staying or visiting Sorrento and who won't mind a short walk to incredibly well-cooked, freshly caught seafood!

Great food and service. We had grilled octopus which was fantastic. The seafood soup was great, as well. The star of the show was the fried anchovies that were fresh caught that morning. We loved it.

Best seafood we had in Italy! Fresh and delicious, and located right by the water! This is definitely a family owned/operated restaurant and it shows in the excellent service and food! We went there 2 times during our time in Sorrento. Highly recommend!

Wow! What an amazing place ran by a truly amazing and hard working family! The quality of seafood was amazing and what a lovely place to sit and enjoy the surrounds. The seafood risotto is a must and SO much seafood! House white wine to start was a Lovely touch! Thank you!
