Sorrento Food & Drinks Tour: Flavors of the Amalfi Coast

Sorrento doesn't shout about its food. It doesn't need to. A cheese factory pulling mozzarella since 1900, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with a lemon peel twist, gnocchi alla Sorrentina at a family osteria deep in the vicoletti. This is three hours through the best of it.
