If you’re looking to experience life like a true Italian during your time in the South of Italy, your first opportunity to do so is in fact from the very moment you wake up, and you must with a traditional Neapolitan coffee and Italian style breakfast. The most popular espresso bars are those in Sorrento’s central square of Piazza Tasso, however if you’d like to enjoy your morning coffee with a view we had also suggested a few bars below located in the small Fishermans village of Marina Grade, Marina Piccola or even a hotel terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Piazza Tasso: Il Fauno Bar

Located on the main square of Sorrento, Piazza Tasso, Il Fauno Bar is by far one of the most popular and well known bars in the town.

It’s central location makes it unmissable especially because of its bright colours.

We suggest to enjoy your coffee in the outside seating area where there is always a very vibrant and dynamic atmosphere or even just on the side in a more tranquil part to watch the people of Sorrento go by and relax for a moment.
