   We came here today for Mother’s Day and already saw red flags of how empty the restaurant was during dinner. Service was ok, nothing special. But food was absolutely terrible. I ordered the special of the day ravioli with tomato sauce and pancetta and it was sour and oily. I was very disappointed with this special. My husband ordered the lobster ravioli which was ok but nothing worth dying for. The pizza we ordered was even worst, it was supposed to have salami on it but it was just tomato sauce and mostly crust. Each dish our table ordered were almost $30+ each so I had high expectations for the quality and taste. I also booked this spot because of the cheese wheel but to my surprise they did not have this available today. What a disappointment. Overall, i would not come back and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. This is probably the worst Italian food I’ve tried.

   My friend and I went to Locanda Sorrento to celebrate her birthday. It is a restaurant that neither of us had ever gone to, and both wanted to try… so to celebrate a birthday, we did it! We got a 5pm reservation, and we received excellent service!! We had cocktails (the 1137- limoncello, and the barrel aged Negroni !!) they were excellent !! I could easily imagine going back just for cocktails on the patio!! Appetizer- the Zucchini Blossoms were amazing! Freshly cooked to order, still hot on the plate! So good! Entrees: my friend had fish of the day (sea bass) and I had the pollo parmigiana… everything was great, and the vegetables were excellent! The highlight (and surprise) was the Happy Birthday serenade by Locanda Sorrento's very own Pavarotti!!!

   The meal was delicious, the hardest part was deciding between all the great options. The drinks were also really tasty. The place is small and intimate which makes you feel like you are in the owner’s living room as she goes table to table. Look forward to going back to try more things.

   Delicious meal last night for my son’s birthday. Great cocktails with my fav being the Smokey old fashioned. We enjoyed eggplant parm, ravioli, and pizza. Food was delicious. Service was impeccable by Ernesto. Happy birthday was sung by the owner . Great evening. We definitely will return.

    We mostly sit at the bar and always have great food and drink. The staff has hustle and they are very friendly. Fresh pasta and yummy desserts…we love this place.
