In the heart of Sorrento, easy to find for every tourist, including those who have a short time and have just disembarked from a cruise, ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce… Limonoro!
A small refined shop, embellished with Neapolitan majolica, where you will feel immediately immersed in a unique and unmistakable experience as you enter.
You’ve just walked the door and you’re already greeted by the smiles of the most welcoming staff you’ve ever met, first of all Giuseppe and Angelo, who will offer you tastings of all kinds: from Limoncello to melon cream, passing through candies and chocolate (9 people of 10 love chocolate. And one lies, they love to say).
This shop has been open since 1905 and for more than a century has been making its Limoncello always following the same traditional recipe. It starts with a selection of the best lemons grown in the area, of the Femminello variety. These are peeled by hand (sometimes the staff peels the lemons it in the shop to explain the production process) and the peels, still fresh, are placed in alcohol at 90 °. Following and respecting precise times, a syrup of water and sugar is then added. In the end, all that remains to do is to filter the product and bottle it. And ... taste it of course!
It's the best shop in Sorrento if you want to find out anything about Limoncello: everyone is very kind and ready to answer any questions. Price are very reasonable and you can get the opportunity to taste (and buy) the best and smoothest Limoncello by far.
We suggest to visit Lemonoro early in the morning to avoid crowds of tourists! And if you have already done your shopping here, and you are out of stock at home... please don’t be sad, you can buy online and they will ship you home!
Once you've savored the lemon-scented air of Sorrento, what do you think about hopping on a boat to Capri?
