    Great service from Theo and Tiana. Food was delicious. We had some of the happy hour menu items - great value for the money if you can come early.

    We had a wonderful dinner a Sorella. Stunning interior decor and ambience, it was the perfect intimate setting we were looking for. All of their main dishes had gluten-free options which was appreciated very much. There is also a gluten-free dessert to cap it all off. Overall, a wonderful experience.

    Totally predictable, no imagination menu, akin to a budget wedding-reception. Sadly, it may not last; otherwise, friendly, fresh flowers, and a new interior are all good. It's just that you are a restaurant.

    We had the best experience. Not only with phenomenal food (both in taste and presentation) but with our service. We never had to flag our server down to ask for anything, she was attentive without it being too much or taking away from the experience. Our wine and water glasses were always full, restaurant has a great ambience without being too loud. Highly recommend!

FAQs

Portions at Sorella tend to be generous and designed for sharing. Many guests mention hearty, well‑portioned pastas and mains, ideal for ordering a few plates to share family‑style. A few guests noted that some dishes (and the newer pizzas mentioned by guests) felt smaller for the price, so if you’re dining with big eaters, plan to order multiple pastas or add a couple of antipasti or sides.

Yes, Sorella is frequently recommended for date night. Guests praise its intimate, cozy atmosphere, warm lighting and attentive service, making it a popular spot for romantic dinners. Expect authentic Italian small plates and shareable pastas, a thoughtful wine and cocktail program, and comfortable nooks or the rooftop patio in summer. If you want a quieter table, ask for an early seating or a spot away from the bar when you reserve.

Generally yes, families and groups with children do dine at Sorella and guests have celebrated birthdays and family meals there. The menu is adult‑oriented (no dedicated kids’ menu), so for younger children consider an early seating and request a more spacious table when you book to make the visit more comfortable.

For great value and a slightly quieter vibe, try happy hour or an earlier seating on weekdays. Guests love the happy hour for good prices and generous portions. Weekends (especially Fri/Sat evenings and holidays) are busiest and livelier, perfect if you want buzz, but expect more noise and fuller dining rooms.

Sorella welcomes families and groups, but seating can be cozy, tables are often close together and some chairs are described as firm. Guests regularly bring children and celebrate birthdays, and the team has accommodated dietary needs, but if you need accessible seating or extra space, call ahead and request a ground‑level or bench seat when booking.

Sorella has operated on special occasions in the past (guests mention a successful New Year’s Eve service), but official public holiday hours aren’t listed. If you’re planning a holiday visit, call the restaurant to confirm hours and availability for that specific date.

Yes, guests report that the team is accommodating with dietary needs, birthday desserts and seating requests. While Sorella doesn’t list private dining, they’ve handled group menus and special requests for celebrations; call ahead to confirm seating preferences, allergy accommodations or celebratory touches so the staff can prepare.

Mid‑week (Tue–Thu) is often best for a quieter, relaxed meal and good service; happy hour on earlier evenings is also a great value. If you want atmosphere and buzz, Friday or Saturday nights provide a lively scene and rooftop patio vibes in season.

Warm, intimate and lively, Sorella is often described as cozy and romantic, with earthy décor, soft background music and a welcoming staff. The room can get energetic on weekend nights or when the rooftop is open; some guests find it boisterous at peak times. Overall it’s praised for a polished, neighborhood trattoria vibe that’s great for date night or special occasions.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings and holidays (guests often describe a lively, packed dining room). Quietest: earlier weekday evenings, during mid‑week service and happy hour when the crowd is smaller. If you prefer a calm dinner, book an early weekday seating.

Yes, Sorella offers a rooftop/upstairs patio that guests enjoy in good weather, with views toward downtown. The patio is popular for celebrations and summer dining, so reserve early in the season if you want an outdoor table.
