The story
Pizzeria Aurora occupies a prime spot on Sorrento’s Piazza Torquato Tasso, but according to creator surmacchio, the experience falls short of the setting. In his “Baristi decidono dove mangio a Sorrento” segment, he describes the pizza as average—not bad, but noticeably overpriced at €16 for a margherita and water. For a town that heavily relies on its tourist-friendly pizzerias, that price-to-quality ratio is hard to overlook.
The restaurant earns a 3.6-star rating from its single review, which suggests a competent but unremarkable pie. If you’re after a quick slice in the main square, Pizzeria Aurora will do, but diners seeking a standout Sorrento pizza should know that better value exists just steps away. Stick to the classic margherita if you visit, but manage expectations—this is convenience food at a premium.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the transcendent Pizza margherita, praising its blistering, airy crust and perfect simplicity. The overall vibe is one of pure, unpretentious joy, a masterclass in Neapolitan craft.
“The pizza looks like a frozen pizza but with way more mozzarella — when you buy a frozen one the mozzarella is too little and you realize too late after you've covered the whole thing. Compared to Botto's, I'd say it's a solid average. It's not bad. 16 euros for a margherita and water, and €1.40 for two small bottles of water from the vending machine paid with Apple Pay. I change my vote from 'I'd eat it' to 'I wouldn't eat it'.”
