Sorella

"For some of San Francisco’s most creative pasta dishes, head to Sorella, which has quite the pedigree — it’s the slightly more casual, newer spot from the team behind Michelin-acclaimed Acquerello. Brussels sprouts with tangerines and green peppercorns or aged beef with Comté are just some of the unique combinations on the menu. The antipasti section also shines with fresh crudo and grilled vegetables." - Eater Staff, Flora Tsapovsky

"The spirited younger sister to grande dame Acquerello, this hot spot trades in an air of stately luxury for a more hip, lively vibe. The family resemblance is nonetheless apparent in the thoughtful cuisine, which runs Californian by way of Northern Italy. You can snack on a collection of cicchetti at the well-equipped bar while sipping excellent cocktails, but you'll need to nab a table for a more substantial repast.When in season, a gem lettuce salad with sweet Dungeness crab, fine herbs and anchovy dressing might just be the best possible spin on a classic Caesar, but top-notch ingredients are assured at any time of year. House-made pastas naturally meet the grade, as in a multi-layered baked timballo with dry-aged beef and Comté cheese." - Michelin Inspector

"Sorella, a relative newcomer to Polk Street’s lively dining scene, dishes out tortelli made from golden brown cocoa-flavored dough, filled with kabocha squash and sprinkled with toasted walnuts and fried Brussels sprouts — and, of course, red miso butter." - Flora Tsapovsky

"Sorella is cool and it knows it. The romantic, rustic, Italian-inspired spot off Clapham High Street is ideal for a first, second, or 304th date if you’re still counting. Popular and lively with a buzzy, intimate feel, moody lighting that welcomes DMCs and a menu with creamy arancini, earthy mushroom pastas, and hearty ragus—this is a restaurant that covers all the bases and more. From intense catch-ups over malt and salted caramel tiramisu, to a low-key meal with someone you’re trying to impress. Book a table as it gets filled up pretty quickly. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak
