L'Osteria Del Buonconvento

Where? L'Osteria Del Buonconvento (Sorrento, Italy) Map

Who? Me

Food Style? Italian

I'm here at the recommendation of some Australians I met yesterday on the Amalfi Coast tour, who are incidentally also here tonight, so I hope this is good. As tempting as their secondi menu looks, I'm going with an antipasto of the house and a primo - a seafood linguine. I've been given an apertivo as a welcome drink, and welcomed I definitely feel. The only Italian song I know, Grande Amore by Il Volo, third place at Eurovision 2015, is currently playing.

Amuse Bouche


A plate with food arrives. I think it is my antipasto. I don't actually know but I eat it anyway. It's fried dough with herbs on rocket and Parmesan and it's quite good.

Antipasto


Antipasto del Buonconvento - mixed starter from Buonconvento
Oh my god. A huge platter arrives. This is the antipasto. It's filled with grilled vegetables, cured meats and cheese. I can't believe it. This looks amazing. It has some wonderful Mediterranean flavours, the tomato, eggplant and spicy sausage being the outstanding items on the plate. I'm so happy taking bits of everything, trying every combination with the herbed bread in the basket. It feels as close as I can get to a true Italian experience without being adopted by a Nonna and having a 6 hour meal.

Primo Piatto


Linguine ai Fruitti di Mare - linguine pasta with seafood, cherry tomatoes
The seafood linguine is here and the smell is so heartwarming. The pasta is probably a bit undercooked but the freshness of the seafood is evident, it's sweet and tasty. The portion size is excellent and thanks to the double antipasto, I am totally stuffed. There is no room for dessert.

Dessert


Easter Cake
I lied. I stuck around the restaurant talking to all the people I met at the Amalfi Coast tour and two hours later, I'm ready to have dessert. I got the Easter special, a lovely moist cake with lemon and strawberries. I am absolutely stuffed now. For real. There is a tiny bit of room for the complimentary limoncello, for which I am extremely excited. It's almost 11pm and it's time for a food coma.
