    My first time here, I was hoping for an exceptional experience and I love top tier pasta like flour and water and spqr so along those lines. I will say this delivered. Everything from the sourdough bread to start, the perfectly made Quintessential cocktail, incredible oysters (some of the best I’ve had in some time) were perfect. I had the porcini and egg Fagottelli and my partner had the gnocchi and both were exceptional. We also had the roasted carrots as a side and I will tell you you’ve never had carrots like this. Amazing. Highly recommend this place.

    What an exciting place! The menu at Sorella is beautifully crafted with some creative tasty small bites to start, delicious pastas and few but perfectly executed main dishes. The young chef Fernanda is obviously having a blast putting all this together.

    Nice ambience, reasonably easy parking. The food was very nice. The gnocchi was lovely, the calamari appetizer slightly overcooked. Service was lacking in attention. Our server did not introduce himself or ask how we were doing during the meal. The experience was wholly transactional and service timing was awkward. I found the cost of the meal very reasonable.

    We arrived a bit early and got seated at the bar. Ordered the Italian 75 (which was delicious like a pink lemonade). Once seated, our server (Kelsey) was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We ordered: - the sourdough bread (soft and warm) - tuna crudo (tuna was super clean and fresh & the capers/olives provided a good bitter/sour balance) - meatballs (we saved some of the sourdough to enjoy the sauce) - grilled romanesco (the anchovy/cheese sauce was divine) - ricotta strangulet (simple but super creamy and good) - clam pasta with red sauce (the winner; the sauce was perfect and the pasta was cooked perfectly) We really enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return.

    Sorella is a very nice neighborhood service with delicious Italian food and excellent service from the staff. Even though I had a reservation for a table, there is also open seating at the bar during the early hours after 5:30 pm too. I had the Drunken Malfadine, Sorella's Potato Leek Foccacia, and for dessert, the Malted Tiramisu, all of which was nicely prepared.
