Great time always sitting at the bar. Pasta is extremely well executed. Bar service is fun, lively and well done.

Julian was a wonderful server. He made excellent suggestions for drinks and didn't push us to over order. Our favourites were the duck confit, meatballs, and the tiramisu. We will be back!

We had the best time at Sorella! The food was amazing and we left feeling full. The cocktails were perfectly balanced and delicious and the wine recommendations we had paired with our meal so well. Our favorite part about the dinner though was the service! Our waiter was extremely attentive but not over bearing. He was also hilarious which added to the experience! Everyone was so respectful and happy. Truly a great experience- we will be back!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at Sorella's last night to celebrate our anniversary. All the servers were incredibly engaging and knowledgable, especially in helping us with our selections. Everything was so delicious and inventive. Ingredients were so fresh. Lovely ambience. Felt truly special. Highly recommend.

Everything was delicious, especially the mussels and bread along with the rectangular cut pasta with truffles, uni pasta special and petrale sole. Wine suggestion was perfect! Service was delightful and efficient and loved the background music.

Incredible food! Each dish shines in its own way. They all delicious, creative, and leave you wanting more! .The staff is so welcoming, clever, and overall give great service! The Almond Cake by far was my favorite dessert!

We started with some focaccia, the Scallop Crudo, and the Punterelle with Celery, all of which were delicious. We were able to order everything we wanted for the night at once and our server did an amazing job of coursing it out to us. After starting with those items we had the Salmon Corzetti and the Lamb Loin. The lamb was cooked amazingly, medium rare, but the sauce on the lamb was so delicious. I will say the Salmon Corzetti pasta was also tasty, however I did not care for the actual pasta noodle. It was hard to keep on the fork, and didn't make sense to be completely honest, but the sauce, the salmon was all delicious. I would probably just pick a different type of pasta; I also had some prosecco but I also ordered some pineapple juice with the Cedrata soda which our server described as a citrusy soda that wasn't too sweet and it was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Yesterday my wife and I went to sorella for Valentine’s Day. They had a fixed menu which was about 4 to 5 course meal. We purchased all the available ad-ons, while the price was not a surprise the quality of the experience for a staggering $700 was baffling. First the ambiance was totally off. They had cheesy Valentine’s Day balloons strung up all over the place. But meh, it’s kind of a casual vibe so I could let that slide. What was unacceptable was the food. Every course was not correctly seasoned, either too salty or no salt at all. The truffles were flavorless, the ahi tartare was bland, and we found a long black hair in our main course. A LONG HAIR. We told our server and they brought another over salted version out. They did not bother to comp anything, offer us more wine, or anything for such a disgusting misstep. I get it happens but if I’m spending $700 on a meal it needs to be flawless. My wife and I were so underwhelmed we will not be returning.

Went here for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Set menu… with only lamb tartare as an app. So if you’re vegetarian or don’t like raw meat, they will only substitute it with some squash. The food is ok but for the price:.. below average. The dessert was LITERALLY vanilla ice cream with some strawberry side syrup! I can get that from Costco for 10 bucks. Cocktails are decent, got a vodka martini. But for someone who is an avid foodie, avoid, I’m being honest.

Excellent, local, pasta place. Menu is regularly updated and the options are always interesting. We regularly order something we wouldn't normally think of and each time we have done, it's been the best thing we've tasted in ages.

Lamb, plus the wine recommendations from bar staff were great. Chiccorie salad was a nice surprise.

I have been to Sorella many times and it never fails to surprise and please. The menu changes to reflect the time of year and what is available but certain things stay the same for continuity.

This is one of the regular places that I now go to. I love the combination of the great food and the relaxed atmosphere, the music is usually great, and they have some very unique and tasty Italian wines to pair with the food. Service is nice and attentive without being too overbearing (like in a Michelin star place).
