From the people that brought you Trattoria Carina, Pub & Kitchen and The Diving Horse comes their newest restaurant, Carina Sorella.

Carina Sorella is a casual neighborhood Italian restaurant with a focus on delicious and approachable food in a bright, vibrant atmosphere. Our menu is built around classic dishes - Spaghetti and Meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmesan - but we surround that core of dishes with seasonal, chef driven specialties.

The Bryn Mawr location will include the addition of a pizza oven and a full bar, building on the smaller footprint of the existing location in Philadelphia, Trattoria Carina.

    Great service and cute ambiance. Chicken parm is largest I’ve ever seen can easily be split between 3-4 people

    All of our food was delicious! The decor is stylish and it has a nice ambiance. It was a very cold night and we weren’t anywhere near the door, but it was still quite chilly inside, but otherwise it was lovely evening.

    If you like eating dinner with strangers this is the place for you! The tables are so close you can barely stand up between them. They call them “half booths.” We learned all sorts of things about the people on our right and left. We asked for an actual booth which were all empty when we arrived at 5:15 but were seated at a tiny, tiny table for two. Paid 50 for branzino; bread is a 7 delicacy. Food was tasty, but the bill with one drink, no dessert and no coffee was 125. If you like pizza it’s ok, though there are lots of pizza places around. Vietri has better pizza and Seasons 52 has better fish. Won’t go back mostly because it’s impossible to have a conversation that isn’t heard by everyone.

    Amazing meal! Shared the chopped salad and three of the pastas, all delicious. Love the wine from Tuscany too, and the holiday decor is beautiful.
