Italy Avenue is the main shopping street. It is busy with bars, restaurants, and shops. Most of the road is pedestrianized, and shoppers may enjoy their strolls without fear. The Tasso Square also is a Controlled Traffic Zone where the rights of motorists may suffer some abridgment.

There is a wide variety of lemony things like candy, soaps, and Limoncello, a local liquor made from lemons.

The street is also known for its carved and inlaid wood products, like tables, music boxes, and boxes for jewelry. The shop, Primavera Gelateria Sorrento, should not be overlooked. They have dozens of flavors. Italy Avenue will lead to a view of the Big Marina, a colorful fishing village.
