About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellar’s owner, Dr. Bob Jankelson, admits that the food of Italy captured him before he developed his interest in wine. Dozens of teaching trips to Italy instilled an appreciation of Italian cuisine paired with food friendly wine shared with friends and family. The same meticulous attention to detail evident in Tsillan Cellars stunning Italian architecture and grounds, transfers to a kitchen that brings world class dining to the shores of Lake Chelan. In winter, the inviting Italian fireplace and panoramic views of Lake Chelan and snow clad mountains blend with award winning food and wine to leave indelible memories. Outstanding ambiance, food, wine and service--- four reasons Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellars was named OpenTable Top 100 Scenic Restaurants in America in 2014. We were named WA State Winery of the Year 2020 by Wine Press Northwest! We look forward to your visit.

    Excellent server and service, with multiple staff tending our table that had fresh flowers on it. The food was very prompt and very tasty. Portions were good. There was a singer rotating to tables, performing opera & requests, who was wonderful. However, there were several large groups of people partying, including a bachelorette party, and the noise level made it quite challenging for my husband and I to communicate at our table. We would definitely go back.

    I came with a group, first time for all of us. I made reservations based on good reviews and pictures of very nice Italian food. When we arrived for our late lunch, they were having a Mother’s Day brunch of standard American brunch food. The salad was nice, it was 2:15 in the afternoon so I wasn’t in the mood for eggs, bacon and pancakes. They had shrimp which is always nice, but it was frozen thawed shrimp with cocktail sauce, so nothing special there. There was a carving station with ham and lamb, The ham was salty and dry, the lamb was just dry, no sauces to accompany them, and no vegetables. There was a dessert bar. Gratuity was included, and the bill was over $500 for five people, expensive for what I ate, and nothing was cooked in a way that I would say “that was great food“. The large gratuity was for me to serve myself, and a bus boy to take away plates. I would be willing to try them again for their advertised menu, perhaps it is worthy of praise.

    The entire experience at Sorrento’s is incredible. The food, especially the calamari and tomato bisque with crab, is mouth watering delicious. They have a lovely man singing to tables, the wait staff and bussing staff are attentive and frequently check in. Overall we had a great anniversary dinner here and will definitely be back!

    Disappointing, for sure. The Duck dish was mostly inedible: duck was overcooked, figs were like little rocks, and the snap beans were very stringy. The Sausage-Pepper Classico was also overcooked and somewhat bland. The Cannoli's without espresso tasted stale and nothing like we expected. The positives were that we both loved our Caesar salads and enjoyed our Sangiovese and Merlot glasses of wine. Our server, Gilberto, was appropriately attentive. We're from out of town but have made a point to eat at Sorrento's while visiting Chelan. We'll be back to Chelan but not Sorrento's.

    My wife ordered the Halibut with the spicy sauce on the side. They messed up and spread it over the fish. They caught it before it was sent out but that made the re-prep much longer than it should have taken. The dinner was very good and the servers were excellent. I think maybe they were under staffed the evening we were there. Yes, we will go back again.
