It was my very first time here with my partner and I loved it. They have great parking, the ziti al forno was phenomenal and the service could not be any better. The waiters were attentive and I am shocked that I have not visited this restaurant sooner!!!! Enjoyed today’s date night

We've been trying to find authentic Italian in the area and still have had no luck. When we walked in and they were speaking in Italian, we thought that this would finally be the right place. Unfortunately, it was far from it. (And before anyone judges, yes I am Italian and lived for a very long time in Italy...) The carbonara was not even close to authentic carbonara. True Italian carbonara is egg yolks, Parmesan, pepper and guanciale... NO cream. It was definitely disappointing for us, so we will continue on our hunt for true Italian cuisine that hasn't been modified / Americanized. Although the food didn't live up to our expectations, the service was great and it was lovely being able to speak in Italian with others.. but again, I wish the actually food was kept to the original recipes.

Torna a Sorrento in Elizabeth, NJ, offers a charming dining experience that's hard to forget. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, complemented by staff who are consistently friendly and attentive. This place is ideal for those who prefer to savor their dining experience in a relaxed setting.Our group of four had varied opinions about the food, which made the experience interesting. I personally enjoyed the dishes, finding them flavorful and well-prepared. However, one of our party wasn’t as impressed. The key here is to visit with time on your hands and an open mind. Based on my experience, I'd be eager to return and explore more of their offerings.

Good stop for Italian food lovers! The pasta was quite good. The pasta took time to get ready, but it was not a problem for me - it tasted fresh.One heads up: the restaurant looked like it was closed from the outside. It was not!

The food was great! Servings are large! We ordered fried zucchini, and it was HUGE and delicious! Enough for 4 people to share! Service is slow, and the place is quiet.

This is by far and away one of the best Italian dining experiences I've ever had. We come here every year when on work in the Newark area.
