    Food was delicious but the portion sizes were a little small for the price. My husband order the ravioli: delicious but was six pieces

    A dinner date for two, and Sorella was perfect for it. The food is both beautiful and very tasty. Service was excellent - terrific recommendations and very welcoming. We’d happily go back and try more of their dishes.

    A gem of a spot in a rather strange stretch of Polk Street. Always festive with patrons regardless of the day.

    Celebrated an anniversary here and the food was amazing. We enjoyed the chicory salad, shrimp-stuffed calamari, ricotta strangulet, pork chop, hanger steak and topped off with a bourbon caramel semifreddo dessert and espresso. Service was excellent. Nothing like freshly made pasta. With every dish served, I did my happy dance, which is saying a lot.

    We have been to Sorella quite a few times. That is unusual for us, who like to try many different places. But Sorella is hard to beat. The menu varies so it feels new each time. Yet it feels nicely familiar each time, also. It’s always good. We will be back.

    It was such a nice evening, everything from well crafted cocktails to the final little sweets with amaro. Pastas really shine at Sorella. And the service is outstanding. As near to perfect as a meal gets.

    Fixed menu for Valentine’s Day was underwhelming, especially the vegetarian options. General lack of flavor. Not worth the price for the experience. Would come back to try the regular menu.

    Sorella truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The service was well timed. Always there when needed but never overbearing. The host, server, and support staff all contributed to a seamless dining experience. We were impressed by the attentive service, with a table check two minutes after the first bite, constant refills of water, and thoughtful touches like de-crumbing between courses. To top it off, we were delighted by a complimentary champagne toast in celebration of our anniversary. The cuisine was equally impressive. Each dish was expertly prepared, with the pasta cooked to a perfect al dente texture and the proteins prepared to perfection. The broccolini was particularly notable, offering a satisfying bite and a well-balanced seasoning. The desserts were a fitting conclusion to an excellent meal; both the tiramisu and affogato were delectable and beautifully presented. Many thanks to the lead bartender for the excellent Amari tasting selections. Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience, you made our anniversary that much more special. We will definitely be back.
