We went for Valentine’s Day, and the food was excellent, prices were reasonable for the portions and quality we received. Small menu, which we liked, easy to sort through the items and find what we were looking for. Would recommend to friends and family.

The food was amazing. There is nothing else that could be said. We had a little mix up with the drink order, but our server took care of it and us right away, and also worked through the rest of the staff to fix the issue for future customers. That to me is way above and beyond. The environment was wonderful. Despite being busy, and the moderate noise level, I could still hold a conversation with my date, and it did not take away from the experience. I will definitely keep Sorella in mind for future special occasions. Well done!

Very good selection of wine by the glass. We enjoyed our salads. The grilled octopus appetizer was awesome. Loved the broccoli appetizer. The pasta special with wild boar was good but after seeing how great the pizzas looked I wished I had gone with the pizzas, they truly looked amazing.

As always, wonderful. While virtually everything on their menu is delicious, their specials are special. Last night’s sea bass with white beans was prepared with care and thought. Just beautiful. My husband’s pasta dish was excellent as well. Their wine list is impressive. Servers are friendly and efficient; they know the menu well enough to guide us to our preferences.

Sorella is the best, such amazing care is put into every dish, the flavor variety and richness is amazing. They do things to vegetables that make you weep with happiness and don’t even get me started on the meat. Seasonal dishes are always a delightful. This is my go to for out of town guests, weeknight dinners, and celebratory nights!
