what a surprise, great sushi, wide menu all fresh as can be, really good. service was reasonable, the chef is of oriental origins so its not some franco whipping a quick batch of cold fish and rice, thats not meant to sound as bad as it reads, but i'm sure you get my drift

This was a very nice break from all the pizza & pasta. We both love Japanese cuisine and are always pleased to see it when traveling. I only have good things to say about Giappo: service was fast, friendly and helpful. It's in a good location - away from the chaos of narrow lanes, easy to locate and close to... More

He was by himself and all suffered,,, food portions were small to put it politely and not amazing enough nor fresh enough for being on a fishermens... More

My husband & I are Canadian's living in Naples Italy & have traveled to Sorrento many times. We were very pleased to find out that Giappo had opened in Sorrento & after reading the reviews made a point of stopping there as soon as we arrived by train. It is a 50 meter walk from the station. The service was... More

The sashimi was cut to perfection; the roll was simply perfect and with not too much sauces and cream (this is Italy damn it!! if you want sauces go to Dallas). Perfect combination among stylish, fresh, friendly and great value for money. Don't look any further.

We visited this small, central restaurant three times during our two week stay in Sorrento. Having become bored of Italian food it was a relief to find something a little different. The food was outstanding on each occasion with fresh, authentic, tasty Japanese food including Sushi, Sahsimi, Tempura and especially the Yakisoba! The service was excellent and I would highly...

Was amazed at how good the food was. Made a pleasant change from the dominant rustic Italian fayre. Particularly enjoyed the light, crisp tempura vegetables. Teriyaki salmon was a hit, plus the spicy salmom california roll was seriously out of the top drawer. Once again, was seriously impressed!
