| Sorrento, Italy (Episode #41) We visit the beautiful city of Sorrento, perched high on the cliffs above the Bay of Naples. To the north, the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and to the south, the jet-set coast of Amalfi to the stunning town of Positano.We visit The Restaurant Caruso, right off the Piazzo Tasso, where owner (Paolo Esposito) and Executive Chef (Antonio Cosentino) pay daily homage to the most famous tenor (of the same name) from this region. Simple, delicious food, fine wine and true personal service are the hallmarks of this most famous restaurant, while original 78 records play on the oldest of gramophones, under walls adorned with original artwork from the maestro himself. Then we visit the Lemoncello factory to see Sorrento's most famous aperitif product. The city is surrounded by citrus groves looking over the blue seas along the coastline. Finally, we visit the home of fine craftsmanship to see how inlaid wooden furniture is made here, before shipping to devoted customers all over the world.
