"For Italian comfort food, Newport is the place to visit, and chef Justin Wills — famed for his farm-to-table fine dining destination Restaurant Beck in Depoe Bay — is the man to provide it. Sorella, his charming one-room Italian restaurant, brightens up Newport’s Nye Beach with bold Oregon coast-sourced art on the walls and a full bar. Choose among handmade pasta offerings like rigatoni with vodka tomato cream sauce or veal Parmesan over angel hair noodles; the pizzas are beautifully charred with toppings that change seasonally. Save room for a triple-scoop of house-made gelato." - Jennifer Burns Bright
