Visited Sorella for the first time. Enjoyed everything about our dinner. Loved the selection of Italian and Sicilian wines, and ordered a bottle of Mastrobernadino Aglianico that paired well with our dinner. Started our meal sharing the kale Caesar and burrrsta, which was deliciously creamy and spread nicely over the focaccia. Our entrees were veal Marsala with crispy potatoes and cavatelli with Monday sauce. Both were wonderfully seasoned. Finishing the meal, we ordered the olive oil cake and chocolate budino. Again, perfect choices to end the meal. Our server was wonderful explaining the menu and offering her insight. As we left, we enjoyed a brief, yet enjoyable conversation with the general manager. We are already planning a return visit.
