Ristorante Museo Caruso Review

It's not surprising that a restaurant named for an internationally-acclaimed opera star would carry an international and operatic theme through from preludio appetizers, such as shrimp in a limoncello dressing, to rapsodia delicatesse desserts, like crêpes suzette. Sorrentine favorites, including ravioli with broccoli sauce and squid with almonds, are also tweaked creatively. The staff is warm and helpful, the singer on the sound system is the long-departed "fourth tenor" himself, and the operatic memorabilia (including posters and old photos of Caruso) is viewed in a flattering blush-pink light. This elegant restaurant deserves its longtime popularity. It is open from noon to midnight and has five-course tasting menus from €40.

    Do Not Eat here!

    My Wife and I spent over 2 weeks in Italy and htis was the worst restaurant we ate at by far. We had read good reviews but after going we found ourselves in a very hostile environment. We were told out bill would be around 70 euros but after some issues with the staff, (we didn't like a course), we were handed a handwritten bill for 324 euros (almost $500!). We tried to contest it and we were told to just pay it. Terrible experience, other places in Sorrento were so much better. Please stay away from this place.
