We loved the pasta with meat sauce and meatballs!! The quantity was enough for 2 people, and the sauce was richly savory!! The salad was also very adequate, and the dressing was tasty. The only part of the that was disappointing was the bread. Very UNEXCITING on all fronts! The service was very good!

I had the best evening at Sorella's with my oldest girlfriend and bestest friend. At first we had a small wait to get a table but the teeny bar was a nice place to start off airing the vino for the meal. We were seated at a cute booth with a candle, which prompted me to turn and say to her that this was definitely our Galentine's dinner. The waitress Madison was prompt, well versed and absolutely pivotal or our enjoyment. She was so attentive and full of suggestions to keep the night flowing. It was a Saturday night and at first there was no music but then when there was -but it seemed like the soundtrack repeated after only a handful of songs. That was fine though as we did not really run out of things to talk or laugh about. We had amazing steaks, sides were "mid" but the desserts were so fun! We went with combining the Carmel Cheesecake with Bananas Foster.

Anytime I want italian I come here for there fettuccine Alfredo with breaded chicken as the Alfredo sauce is creamy and Rich, the breaded chicken is always a golden brown and juicy, the noodles are perfectly cooked and the house bread tastes like it's baked fresh everyday. The service is on par with the food exceptional with a welcoming feel. I've been to this restaurant at least a dozen times and each time I'm never disappointed

I have been coming here for 15 years, maybe longer. Tonight's steak was by far the best I have had here, I was starting to lose hope in Sorella's as I have felt the quality and service has been going downhill, however this dinner was redemption points for them. I ordered one of my usuals, the filet mignon with grilled prawns and I get the steamed broccoli. My filet was very good, and the prawns are always an easy win.

The service was great. Very efficient and welcoming. We had a reservation for 10 at 630 and got seated early which was great. The food was really good over all. The steak came out too rare to our liking so we sent it back. They corrected their error right away. Great place to eat with family, would recommend.

Really really good pasta, large portions as well and every pasta comes with a side salad and bread! The appetizers were ordered were meh though not super tasty and not worth the price. This place is expensiveeee, I think I didn't see anything less than like $20 unless it was like a soda or something. Lots of options, even stuff I haven't seen at other Italian restaurants before, and they don't just have pasta but fancy stuff like Ribeye and Filet Mignon! You definitely pay for quality here! Service wise they were really nice, great attitudes, sat us fast, brought out our food fast, got us out fast too haha. Nice people! Inside there is tons and tons of seating, It looked like there were multiple rooms to go into, and it looked like it was good for groups too. During the day I wouldn't say it gave an intimate date vibe but at night it probably does!

I've gotten the chance to enjoy Sorella's both dine in and take-out. It's very classic Italian food. Hearty and delicious. Very classic, no frills, just good! While in the restaurant, I enjoyed the minestrone starter and penne bolognese. One of the things that is great about Sorella's take-out is that they have family style options. You can order an entire family tray, which is perfect for large family gatherings. You can pick trays ala carter or you can get a whole family pack that comes with salad, bread and pasta.
