01 · In a sentence

Lido Marinella Meta in Meta, open MayAugust.

Your guests will arrive at this waterfront restaurant in Meta, where the Sorrentine Peninsula meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, greeting them with fresh seafood and unobstructed water views.

Tables positioned along the shoreline create an intimate yet open atmosphere, allowing 80-150 people to dine while watching the light change across the water.

The working kitchen remains visible to diners, keeping focus on ingredient quality and preparation rather than theatrical flourishes.

The beach is very nice, but beds and parasols very expensive 3 beds & a parasol €48. Staff working there are not very friendly at all. We have been a few times before and it's just exactly the same. If you need a shower after, you have to insert a €1 into the machine. Its a shame really as its a lovely part of the Meta beaches....
