Hey there fellow hungry travelers, Mark here with Walter's World and today we're in Sorrento, Italy
0:04
and today we're going to talk about are the eats of the Sorrento Peninsula, which means here in
0:09
Sorrento, the Isle of Capri, the Amalfi Coast, to give you an idea of some of the fantastic food and
0:14
drinks you should have when you do come to this part of Italy. And I'm going to start since we're
0:17
here in Sorrento, and no I'm not going to start with the seafood, that's the seafood right behind
0:21
me, I've got to start with the gnocchi alla Sorrentina, which is basically a potato pasta
0:27
a dumpling cooked in a mozzarella and you'll hear mozzarella later on to tomato and basil kind of
0:34
mix oh my god it is so good and you will see it at the restaurants all over Sorenso and throughout
0:40
the Amalfi Coast and on Capri because it's that good so that's one thing I want to start with
0:45
since we're in Sorenso I should start with that one but let's be honest we're standing on the beach
0:50
looking out into the water and so the big thing to have when you are here is seafood and there's a
0:56
of different ways you can have it there's tons of different seafood passes you can have you have
1:00
spaghetti vongole which is a spaghetti with clams which is fantastic so if you're on the amalfi
1:05
coast there's one you could try which is a pasta called sialatieli a la amalfitana yes i know i'm
1:11
butchering but basically it's a shorter fatter um kind of spaghetti noodle with a fantastic kind of
1:18
seafood mix sauce with calamari in it mussels and it's shrimp clams i mean it's just like
1:24
A seafood platter on top of your pasta. It's wonderful, okay? And there's a lot of other seafood pastas when you're going to see when you're here
1:32
So if you want those try those Liam had one the other night I mean a kid had seafood pasta and ate up all the fish in it I mean it is so good when you here So stick to some of the fish when you are here And the thing is
1:44
it's not just pasta, seafood pasta. You can get great grilled fish when you're here too
1:49
You've got sea bass or red sea bass you can get when you're here. I had that the other night. It
1:53
was delightful. You can get swordfish here as well. Calamari and octopus. I mean, there's just
1:59
a lot of seafood when you're here. And one of the things you might see is when you're on the Amalfi
2:03
because you'll see like a, like, you know, when you go to the Netherlands or someplace, they give you the French fries in the cone
2:08
Well, you can have all kinds of seafood and shelf is fried and put in that cone and walk
2:14
around and eat that. But a misto fritti, a mixed fry up of calamari, octopus, shrimp, that's also a really great
2:22
snack thing, but also it makes for a good meal too. The thing is, is some people don't like pasta
2:26
Maybe they want risotto instead. There's risotto amare. So you have risotto with seafood as well
2:31
So there's plenty of seafood options when you are here if you're looking for something light
2:36
And especially if you've been doing a lot of the pasta and pizza stuff in other parts of Italy
2:40
this is a good place to move back into kind of having meals with just seafood is going to be a lot more helpful, okay
2:48
Now, another good thing you can have when you're down here is your eggplant parmigiano
2:51
Yes, that is a thing here you can have as well. It'll be wonderful when you are here
2:56
But I forgot to mention one fish you might want to try when you're here, which some people
3:02
aren't really a fan of, is there's actually anchovies here. You can get marinated anchovies or you can get fried anchovies
3:07
It's kind of a snack kind of thing. They do have that. I know people are not always a big fan of anchovies but if you haven had anchovies before this would be the place to try it because if you don like it here you not going to like them anywhere Now another thing you notice when you here in Sorrento or the Malfi Coast River you notice that lemons are quite popular and so
3:24
you'll see lemons in a lot of dishes. I mean if you're doing on the Malfi Coast you might see
3:29
pasta alimone which is they actually coat the pasta in like a lemon infused water. Yeah you can have
3:34
that. Your granita you know you're slushy of course you got to get a lemon slushy. You get a
3:39
orange as well, it'll be fine. But there's a lemon version of that
3:44
But probably the two most important ones to have when it comes to lemon when you're here, one
3:49
you've got to have limoncello, which is the local liquor here, which is a strong
3:53
lemon shot of liquor, okay? So, it's not for kids, it's for adults. You have that
4:00
A lot of times they'll bring that to you after your meal for like a palate
4:03
cleanser to have. And now, there's actually a spritz, a limoncello spritz which has become more popular so when you're out at aperitivo time you can get a limoncello
4:12
spritz to kind of kind of water down or prosecco down that limoncello strongness so that's something
4:19
you got to have and then the other thing I want to talk about is the delicia alimone which is a
4:24
lemon dessert it's like a cake and a cream and at heaven all wrapped into a lemony loveliness
4:30
you want to have that when you're here now another thing about to talk about it since the isle of
4:34
Caprese here. You've probably heard of a few dishes Caprese in your life, right? So, of course
4:40
your Ensalata Caprese, your Caprese salad, is something you should have when you're here
4:44
which is, you know, mozzarella, tomato, and basil. But here's the thing. Here, you want to have
4:49
Fior di Latte or Bufolina You want to have Fior di Latte kind of mozzarella cheese in there or Buffalo mozzarella cheese in it And same thing on your pizza It is just wonderful I mean we actually bought a fior
5:01
de latte like chunk and just ate that for dinner last night with some drinks. Oh, it was wonderful
5:07
But if you want to make that caprese salad, you can have that. You're looking for something else
5:11
caprese. There's a caprese cake, which is a chocolate and almond cake you can have, which
5:16
is from Capri and you'll find in various restaurants around here as well. Liam wanted me to tell you of
5:21
course you can always do a lava cake too. He appreciates that. That was in a number of restaurants
5:26
so for the kids they'll be happy with that one. But another Caprese thing I want to talk about is
5:30
Ravioli Caprese which is it's got two kind of cheeses inside and marjoram in it and then this
5:35
kind of delicate sauce that goes with it. I know every time we go to Capri and we go to Ana Capri
5:40
we go sit on the square there we have that together. Joss I just love it. That's a really
5:44
great thing. You don't always see it outside of Capri, so if you're on Capri, that's where you
5:49
really need to have it. So if you want to go for something more vegetarian pasta-y, you do have
5:53
spaghetti a la Nerano, which is zucchini and cheese with your spaghetti. That's a nice kind of
5:59
lighter touch to the food. And if you're just driving around, you want to grab a quick snack
6:03
you can always get a panino caprese, which is just a sandwich with fior de latte that like special
6:08
mozzarella and basil and tomato. That will fill you up with some olive oil in it, of course
6:13
and that will fill you up nicely when you're driving around, whether you're going down the Amalfi Coast or out to Capri
6:17
and it's light on the pocketbook as well. So I hope this helps you know some of the foods you should have
6:23
when you're here in Sorento or the Amalfi Coast or the Isle of Capri because my goodness, there's so much good food here
6:29
You will love it. So I'll say ciao from here in Sorento
