Sorellas: An Italian Eatery

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and we had a wonderful time. Our server Hunter was very hospitable and had great recommendations. We ordered drinks, apps, entrees and desserts and everything was fairly priced. This was our first time here and so glad we gave it a try. We will definitely come back based on quality of food, cleanliness and fantastic service.

Service was awesome! They don't have a birthday desert, ( with happy birthday on it)so my waiter went above and beyond and put a candle on my desert which made my day. Food was good but my steak had a little too much fat and a little too much pink for a medium well. I don't return Food so I just ate half and reheating the rest tomorrow for lunch lol

We went to dine in without reservation. We were a group of 7, & the restaurant was fully packed to accommodate 7pax. So, we were seated outside, which we asked. We ordered many dishes- Bruschetta, Patcheri (veg options), Crab, margarita pizza, chicken salad, Alfredo pasta with some drinks & desserts. We were served by an Hunter - who paid attention to vegetarian needs & offered to customize some of the dishes. Hunter is pleasant, and has good sense of humor which added to the overall hospitality experience. All food was tasty. The olive deep they gave with Bruschetta is over the moon. Alfredo pasta was richly flavorful, full of cheese sauce (which we like but would recommend to choose other type of pasta if you don’t like deep cream cheese sauce).

It’s always a good time at Sorella’s! After having spent a week in Italy where I consumed pasta daily, I will say that the Bucatini at Sorella’s matched or exceeded several of the pasta dishes that I had in Rome and Sorrento. I am also a fan of the Caprese and the Italian Couscous Pasta Salad. Karyn, one of the skilled bartenders, and Vincent, owner, are both class acts. The entire staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I highly recommend your next dining experience be at Sorella’s!

i dined there tonight and i so so happy. they great us warm and friendly and widhed my happy birthday. brad the server was over the top. all the food was layers of flavor. ended w candel in desert. a must try.

I have been here no less than 15 times and I will continue to go. Everything on the menu is spectacular; the pasta is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are well thought out. Every drink I’ve ever tried has been wonderful as well. From the host stand to the bar, the service is always phenomenal. I love the personal touches in the restaurant to remind you that the inspiration came from the owners own family. I am constantly recommending Sorellas and will continue to do so!

I think my wife and I consistently went here 3 weekends in a row for date night. The experience starts when you walk in the door and are greeted by smiling faces. They definitely know how to make you feel at home. All of the wait staff is incredibly personable and makes you feel like you’ve known them for years. We love the happy hour menu and have tried a lot of the menu. We are astonished at how many items on the menu consistently exceed expectations. We will continue coming back here!!

Fantastic food and staff. We had my baby sprinkle lunch here, and they were so lovely and accommodating. The bucatini caccio e pepe is some of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend!

I can't rave about this establishment enough. I have come at least seven times now and each time gets better and better. Along with the fresh and amazing food, the staff is always attentive and kind. They are knowledgeable of their menu items both regular and seasonal. I love the atmosphere. Parking is available on the side as well as valet.

Sorella's is an Italian eatery in Virginia Beach that has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. As you enter the space, there's artificial olive trees that look realistic with a contemporary rustic decor. It's not dim lighting but just enough to have a clear viewing experience My friends took me for my birthday that evening. The server was attentive and knowledgeable. He was both personable and prompt. The food was very savory. You could definitely tell the pastas were made in-house. We ordered a few dishes to share. The Peach & Porkbelly pizza had drizzle of honey with a peach jam. My only suggestion is that it needed to be more balanced. There wasn't enough peach jam and honey to elevate the savory taste. The mushroom pasta was also savory, but I'm not a big fan of dense pasta. Although I respect the freshly made noodles, it wasn't as delicious as the breaded chicken over the wide pasta. Our appetizer was Bucatini with shrimp and bacon. It was also savory and rich but I enjoyed it the most. Lastly, I liked the Spumoni dessert they made into my birthday cake but not anything special. I would give it a second chance the next time I'm in town. There's street and a parking garage. Plenty of places to dine at or shop on that strip.

Was referred by fella at art studio across street. Arrived about 2 pm Rather empty. Maybe 6 at bar eating. Delightful bar, great bartender. Made a delicious not alcoholic fizz drink. Plus had carpaccio n the Arancini appetizer. Both yum. Delicious perfect sized. Great decor. Definitely going back.

If you are looking for a sign that a restaurant loves what they do- look no further than the bathroom at Sorellas! The pasta themed Wallpaper in the bathroom is pays tribute to the magic of what they do and a true testament to the craft. And believe me that dedication pays off! The in house pasta is incredible- so incredible that I'm pretty sure the lumanche is one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life! We hit up happy hour and tried a bunch of different dishes. The martini espresso, house made limoncello, and tiramisu were also outstanding! The staff went above and beyond to celebrate a few birthdays on the group. They even made a custom sign for us. Sorellas is a new favorite place and I'm already dreaming of my next visit!

We went there again this time for my wife's birthday dinner and it was also during Restaurant Week. Our first time there was lunch and made a promise to return for dinner it was to long, but we will now be having dinners more often.

Thank you fellow Yelpers! Decided to give this place a chance this evening after reviewing the reviews and menu. Walked over here from the hotel we were staying and enjoyed a glass of wine while I waited for my food to be ready. Was kind of disappointed to arrive back to the hotel and learn the bruschetta I ordered was made with meat, when clearly on my receipt in big bold red letters with exclamation marks noted "NO MEAT!!!" By this time it was after 10pm so I called and the manager on duty Vincent not only remembered my order he tried to remedy the situation and I appreciated him for that. My salad was ok...the pasta was delicious. Simple and tasty. Full of flavors. The restaurant was busy, bar area was full and there were plenty of patio outdoor seating. If I wasn't on auntie duty I would've loved to sit out on the patio and enjoy the evening. This place seemed perfect for a date night, wine night, girls night out. I love all things wine so this is definitely my kind of place. Can't wait to venture back down & bring my hubby! Happy Yelping!

Have been meaning to try this restaurant at the Oceanfront , after receiving our meals my mom and are so glad we did! Since we opted to sit outdoors I brought my pup so she can enjoy sitting outside on the patio with us as well. We ordered: The Ravioli - such a simple yet complex dish from the combination of protein and cheese flavors Lasagne - perfectly stacked to encompass the ideal balance of meat and noodle Bruschetta - Airy and fluffy bread with a delight crunch to the outer crust with toppings as delicately bitten together Calamari - Fried to perfection! Nothing less nothing more

Nice Italian restaurant located off Baltic Avenue near the oceanfront. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and service was moderate. The food was average. Prices were moderate. The ribeye and halibut lacked seasoning and flavor. The oyster rockefeller was good.

We had a party of eight for dinner. The food was delicious. We started with Oysters Sorrllas, the Brochette, and the roasted Brussels Sprouts. All were outstanding. our Server, Gionte was wonderful. He was very cheerful and constantly refilling the water glasses and pouring more Processco. The entrees were difficult to choose as they all sounded very good. The Stuffed Shells, the pizza, Ravioli, and chicken Parmesan were all enjoyed! Everyone loved the food, the atmosphere and Gionte was great and we will request him on our next visit!

My husband and I love this place! The owner here also is part owner of The Atlantic on Pacific and Eurasia. We love all three of the restaurants, but if you're in the mood for Italian or pasta, this is the spot! My husband spoiled me for a birthday lunch (we have a newborn and a toddler) and man they did not disappoint! We got the octopus appetizer - so tender and delicious, the clams appetizer - omg so full of flavor, cioppino - a huge bowl of seafood, and orecchiette - pasta with sausage. Everything was so tasty, the service was incredible, and the ambiance was perfect. This place is so beautifully decorated and it is the perfect spot for everything! Family, happy hour, date night, all of the above! The food was truly amazing and the service made everything taste even better. 10000/10 would recommend!

BLUF: good, but didn't meet expectations. A group of four of us went out for dinner on a Sunday evening. The service was friendly, including bringing rest plate of a weird women's and Alliance to go with our water and soft drinks upon request. Appetizers included whipped ricotta, beet salad, stuffed squash blossoms, beef carpaccio, and seafood misto. The whipped ricotta was definitely a winner, although it needed to come with a little more bread. The beet salad was also tasty and quite fresh. The squash blossoms were kind of a let down. It is a relatively heavy breading and it's deep fried so that you really kind of it get more taste of fried breading than of the actual blossom or the goat cheese stuffing. If it had a little lighter coating on it so that it maintained the texture and colors of the squash blossoms they would have tasted a lot better. The carpacio was just fair, with most of the flavoring being on the outer crust. These Seafood misto was good, but really nothing more than you might get at a bar with deep fried calamari and shrimp. For entrees we had a margarita pizza, a tartuffo pizza, and raviolis. The tartufo pizza was actually pretty good. Margarita Pizza had a sauce that was quite bland, and for some reason they placed pearl onions on it. I've never seen a margarita pizza with onions, let alone pearl onions, on it. The ravioli was good in a deconstructed way. It came out literally smothered in a meat sauce so that everyone of the table looked at it and basically had as the waiter what it was. It turned out and underneath the meat sauce were the raviolis. If you ain't the sauce with the raviolis the sauce flavor pretty much drowned out the goat cheese and ravioli flavors. What I ended up doing was basically eating the meat sauce off the top until there was just a little bit left and then eating the raviolis and in that way I got the best of both. It's not that it was bad it's just that each part actually tasted better by itself and the Ravi always just don't need to be smothered like that. One dish in our order was completely forgotten about as the food was brought out. When I realized it hadn't come out it was too late and so I didn't want it anymore. They did apologize for it and they took it off the bill. For dessert we had pomegranate for Bay and olive oil chocolate cake. The sorbet was excellent, the cake was very good but a little bit dry. Overall it wasn't a bad night, it's just a combination of little things kind of took away from what we expected based upon looking a prior reviews

We recently had dinner at Sorella's located near the Oceanfront in the heart of Virginia Beach. This place is fantastic! We really enjoyed ourselves here. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. They have a terrific Happy Hour menu with something for every taste imaginable. We tried several things and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this wonderful eatery, especially around happy hour!

Sorellas at the Oceanfront offers a fantastic happy hour with great prices!! From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable, from our service to our meals. To start, I ordered a glass of the Barbera D'Alba from Collina San Ponzio, which was smooth and balanced, tasted like a cab. It was a great choice to pair with my meal. My friend and I both opted for Caesar salads. A nice touch was that our waitress let us know the salad included actual anchovies (good to know if you don't like anchovies)! She also brought out some bread and oil. For appetizers, we ordered the bruschetta, which had prosciutto, pesto, ricotta, fig jam, and pistachios on focaccia. The combination of flavors was a great balance of savory and sweet. We also shared the mussels, which were served in a spicy tomato broth with Italian sausage and fennel. The broth was super flavorful, and the grilled bread on the side was perfect for soaking up the broth. Taking advantage of the $5 off happy hour pizza deal (who wouldn't?!), we couldn't resist ordering the chicken pesto pizza. It was so tasty, but we each could only eat a slice after all of our apps before we boxed it to go. If you're looking for a place with great HH deals, or a nice Italian dinner ... it's a spot worth checking out at the Oceanfront.

Absolutely loved sorellas, a warm rustic atmosphere with friendly staff. The most important part though is the food! For appetizers we had Brussels sprouts which were 10/10, the whipped ricotta which were 15/10, and the mozzarella balls which were 20/10, everything was delicious. For the enter I got the vodka pasta with braised short rib and wow it was amazing, the pasta was fresh, plenty of sauce and the short rib was so tender. Highly recommend if you are in the area!!

Went for happy hour and sat quickly at the bar with no wait. The vibe was calm and clean. The details pulled you in even though simple and the color way was pleasing, absolute crushed over the pasta wallpaper in the bathroom. The drinks were delicious and fairly priced for happy hour. The Cesar salad was crisp and refreshing. Maybe a little more dressing to coat but other than that excellent. The meatballs came in a trio immersed in sauce, perfect to the tastebuds. The marg pizza had a great crunch to the crust, the sauce was flavorful with the fresh garlic on point. The chicken parm slider was a hit. Cheesy, crispy chicken with a crunch brioche bun. Home run for sure.

I came here on a date, and really enjoyed it. The restaurant offers complimentary Valet(on Arctic between Laskin and 32nd). We were seated right away, and my server was friendly and attentive. I was there during happy hour (on a Saturday), and we shared the bruschetta, cacio e pepe (one of my faves), and The Sorella pizza, and cannoli for dessert. To drink we had peach Bellinis, and for the second round I had a Negroni, and my date had a limoncello spritz. Very Italian! I will definitely be back. Looking forward to trying the meatballs next time.

Wanted to give a higher rating since everyone gave rave reviews! Brussel sprouts were inedibly salty, even the manager came back admitting that it was. The spaghetti and meatballs had serious issues. Was the pasta supposed to be made in-house? Spaghetti was soggy, tasteless - boxed spaghetti or spaghetti from a chain like Fazoli's is even better! The real issue was the meatballs - the center was still frozen! So don't kid yourself that you're paying for made from scratch food. The only saving grace was the response from management- bill was on the house. But here's the thing - the free take home Tiramisu wasn't good, tasteless and no hint of coffee. The redone meatballs were burnt!!! So even the take out food left a whole lot to be desired.

Made a reservation & came with a big group on a Saturday night. We split a bunch of the apps some of the favs were meatballs, brussel sprouts & the ricotta. The bread & oil that comes to the table are delicious as well! I got a lamb pasta and it was great. The lamb was tender & flavorful. The staff was friendly & helpful with questions/substitutions. To end the meal a bunch of us got affogatos & it was the perfect pick me up for the rest of the night! A great place for date night or girls night.

In town for a few days and found this gem up the street from our hotel. Our server, Brad, was very friendly and attentive, offering great suggestions. Happy hour from 3-6 has some amazing deals, including $5 off pizza and pasta. We had the caprese salad, baked meatballs, mushroom truffle pizza and cacio e Pepe pasta--all were 10/10. Even on a Monday, it was filling by 5:15 so snag a resy. Highly recommended!

Sorella's was amazing! The food was so good. I got the Italian chopped salad and a meatball sub. Staff were super friendly and nice . Place is beautifully decorated. I like the faux olive trees . We took some cute pics by them. There was a nice and spacious party room a couple was having a baby shower. What I really appreciated about Sorella's were the prices. Very reasonable prices especially these days where dining out has become so expensive this was so nice. I can visit here often because of it. This was a great place to eat!

I've seen so many good reviews and even asked a friend for recommendations and was told about this place. My friend and I came here around 5:30pm and were sat immediately. We were also greeted immediately so that's a plus, granted we came to VB during the off season. After taking some time to think about what to order, we decided on the bucatini (cacio e pepe) and the linguine con vongole. Food didn't take long, and they do offer bread and olive oil too. The portions were perfect and filling regardless of how small it looks. The interior is very classy and fancy, but the restaurant itself is very casual, or can be so don't worry about having to dress nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this place especially if you love pasta like I do.

Been here multiple times this place is always a winner to me. We actually sat on the other side of the dining room, which I have never seen before. It is beautiful. Typically, we sit on the side where the bar is, which is absolutely beautiful as well but this time we sat on the other side and views were amazing. they have beautiful booths in there, it's perfect for a larger party. I always order a few apps as I did this time no dish just a few appetizers. The service is always great. The food is always good with two other people one has been there before the other one has not. Both of them enjoyed their food cooked to perfection. I had the arancini bolognese, Sorella's Bread, and crispy mozzarella balls. The crispy mozzarella balls are hands-down one of my favorites for dessert. I ended up ordering affogato with hazelnut Gelati and a side of amaretto. My friend ordered the pasta with sauce the spaghetti she absolutely loved it. She said you can tell that it was fresh made pasta. My other friend ordered the bone and ribeye with potatoes. She said it was the best ribeye she has had. She said it was so flavorful cooked to perfection and seasoned just right , she had for chocolate olive oil cake, which she absolutely loved. My other friend did not have dessert. When I come back, of course I would come back. I've been there numerous times since they've opened. It's one of my top restaurants to go to.

The food was really good. Service was also amazing btw. I don't remember our server name unfortunately. Ambiance is very nice and relaxing. Don't remember how much I spent. But worth it.

So glad we were able to have dinner at Sorella's. Our reservation was on a Friday night and it was definitely busy but service was still great. We ordered Oyster Sorellas and brussel sprouts. I was worried because I saw another review saying the brussel sprouts were bad but they were perfect. The whipped ricotta base was a perfect taste against the crispy chili Brussel Sprouts. The oysters were also really good. I was surprised how much I liked them in comparison to other restaurants in the area. I ordered chicken Parmesan and my fiancé ordered the veal Parmesan. Both came with spaghetti. Mine was a perfect size but we were shocked at the veal cut. It was such a large sized portion. Both were very delicious. I can see why the veal is a favorite. With all that food we didn't have enough space for dessert. We will have to come back to try them

Wonderful restaurant. Food is fantastic and the service is excellent! 100% recommend.

Great atmosphere- very nostalgic experience missing family in Italy - food was very comparable to the delicious flavors found in Italy! We had a few specials - tuna crudo was on point. The ravioli- and the two other pasta dishes we ate were incredible. Not heavy - very flavorful and well balanced. Portions were terrific- not unimaginably huge or small- great filling amount. The best limoncello ice cream- probably since we were in Amalfi. Definitely coming back - maybe next time instead of the pasta bar we will get a seat at a table! Service was great.

we has reservations for 6 pm 4 persons. we arrived early, and were seated immediately. It was restaurant week. the other couple was late arriving, so that afforded the time to compare the restaurant week to the main menu. only 2 items in the menus matched. I had the Caesar salad, it actually had 2 anchovy sections on top. However, the dressing tasted more like ranch. wife had the shell food chowder, excellent. i had the Bolognese sauce with shells. Needed garlic and other seasoning. side bread good, but asked for butter, and it came out frozen!! Wife had Rock fish dish which she liked. desert i had apple cheese cake with salted caramel. i was expecting an apple cheesecake with salted caramel sauce.... but it was a salted caramel cheesecake with apple pieces on top. Cheesecake contained way TOO much salt. Water to drink. i had one drink. I am not a fan of pasta main course dishes. don't mind them being a side dish with an italian main dish, like veal piccata or similar. No tablecloths a LARGE plate was on the table that the waiter said was for bread. Place was well lit, some booths, several long benches, with tables and chairs on the other side. Nice pictures and other decorations. but all in all just a strip mall restaurant. Based on the regular menu prices, we won't be returning.

The restaurant is comfortable & cozy. Prices & menu for restaurant week were good. Took forever to get waters & wines and even longer to place our order. The food arrived quickly, was flavorful, but was barely warm. We never received the bread we asked for. Waitress apologized saying 'kitchen's backed up bc of restaurant week'. We only saw 6 other tables occupied during our 2:00-3:00 pm visit on a Tuesday. Won't be returning.

Great service at the bar with tasty pasta. The bar tender was friendly and the environment was perfect for a solo dinner date. The crusty bread with oil was a nice touch, too! Low quality picture...

We got to sit at the pasta making bar, and the service was impeccable! We shared some appetizers (Margherita pizza, house bread, scallops, and salad). It was absolutely delicious! My entree was the Scallops (risotto, apple, crispy Brussels sprout) special which I paired with the prosecco. It was way above par - scallops sautéed to perfection! Everyone was friendly, music was chill, and we were able to chat without raised voices. 10/10 would recommend!

We dined here with a group of 6 on a Saturday evening. We made reservations via Open Table. The hostess was friendly upon our arrival and seated us at a booth immediately. Our waitress was very engaging and took great time with our table even though you could tell she was busy. She even had the manager come over to help further describe a wine for us. She made great suggestions and recommendations. We had a bottle of white wine and a red. Both were great selections based on her help. For appetizers we had the crispy Brussel sprouts and two of Tuna Crudo. Both were very good and flavorful. The tuna had a tiny bit of basil and chili that gave it a nice taste. Appetizers arrived quickly. Our entree selections also came quickly. I had the roasted Halibut which was cooked just right and sat atop a large portion of polenta. Part of it had a tomato sauce and the other side of the dish had an arugula, olive and cucumber combination. It was sized generously. My husband had the Linguine Con Vongole which is the linguine with clams. He devoured it so it's safe to say he happily enjoyed his entree. For dessert we shared the Spumoni Semifreddo and the Tiramisu. Both were plentiful and a nice was to end the meal.

The food was outstanding and the waitstaff were excellent. It's a casual spot that carries itself with a touch of class.

What a great place to have dinner with friends. The restaurant boasts great ambiance & decor inside with comfortable and intimate seating. Our server was very nice and witty and able to throw some funny jabs back at our party who liked to tease a bit...! The host of our party likes to buy just about every appetizer and dessert imaginable every time we eat together so we got to experience it all...! I was barely able to get through the huge portion of Chicken Parmesan and he orders every single dessert on the menu...! OMG! Well. I tried a few bites of most things but had to throw in the towel...! Savages! The only reason for a reduced star is the cocktails take 20 minutes or more to get to table once ordered. Anyway, overall, it's a great restaurant with great service and wonderful food! If at VA Beach, check it out!

Great place! We went during Happy Hour and were really happy with the selection and the prices. It sits on a corner and has lots of outdoor seating, but we sat inside. I'm on the fence about our server, but the valet guys were great!

I've heard nothing but great things about Sorella's so I decided to stop in on a Tuesday evening to dine in. Being that it was a weekday, there was no wait at all and I was seated right away. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and had a very modern and chic flair to it. Our server quickly greeted us and was very friendly. She informed us of the specials for the week, which were a few pasta and pizza dishes that sounded amazing. After looking over the menu (and having to Google some of the items lol), we started with the Fritto Misto which was fried shrimp and calamari. The seafood tasted very fresh and was delicious with the lemon aoli. For the entree, I decided on the Mafaldine, which was served with a spicy, pork ragu sauce. After taking a few bites, I felt like it was missing some flavor and it wasn't spicy at all to me. The server did provide fresh, Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes which helped a bit but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the dish. A friend of mine ordered the Roasted Halibut which sat on top of creamy polenta and red sauce with an arugula salad topping. It was absolutely amazing and everything paired very well together! The cannolis were presented so beautifully and tasted pretty good as well. Overall, I had a great experience at Sorella's. I love that they have a large bar area for those that want to come in for a quick bite to eat and some drinks. The server was super nice and I love all of the food options they provide. I look forward to trying another dish when I return. P.S. There is a parking garage right behind the restaurant on 32nd St. that has 2-Hour parking for those that can't find parking on the street! :)

While in VA Beach for work I had some great Italian food for dinner one evening, which made me want to come here for a second night of Italian food. This is a nice Italian restaurant set in a plaza, but which still offers a cozy atmosphere. The service was great and the menu is decent. They have a nice, large wine list and they have cocktails as well. The food I had was nice, flavors were decent. I tried their spaghetti, as I wanted to try their traditional red sauce, it was nice. Nothing spectacular, but nice. Ceasar salad was nice, but their spumoni was amazing! Definitely save room for dessert and get the spumoni!

We had the pleasure dining at Sorella's and luckily enough it was during happy hour! $5 off any pasta and pizza! The quality of the food did not disappoint and our server was attentive and friendly. Great location and atmosphere to eat good food near the beach!

I enjoyed my quiet girls night dinner here last week. I've heard mixed reviews since this spot opened up but enjoyed it and plan to come back with my husband for a Happy Hour in a few weeks. It's large inside - very large - with tons of seating and great decor and table settings. Our waitress was very good at answering all our questions on the menu. My friend has a Soy food allergy and she easily navigated that. We went with meatballs and minestrone to start. Both delicious. I really loved the minestrone soup - very hearty and a nice sized serving when paired with their delicious fresh bread and dipping oils. For entrees - my friend ordered the Paccheri. Hers was a large noodle almost like Penne with mushrooms, roast garlic, black truffles and peas. I had the Tagliatelle Nero which consisted of lobster, uni sauce, smoked sausage, tomato, bread crumbs. My only complaint was I expected legit sausage and this was more like a sausage link cut into tiny pieces. I added 4 shrimp at $2 each - large size and delicious. They charge by the shrimp to add protein. I actually kind'a liked that. I didn't try my friend's dish but intend to order next time - it looked delicious and I love mushrooms. Their pasta bar is very nice and hopefully we can sit there next time and watch the action. I tried the tiramisu for dessert - was a bit hesitant due to the previous reviewers but they must've taken that into account bc this one was nice and coffee-flavored and a very generous portion served in a beautiful mini trifle bowl for about $10. Loved the pasta wallpaper in the restrooms - cute. All staff were friendly. A+

I'm an out of town-er. This spot hit ALL the important high notes. Quaint location with a comfy patio, great 80's music playing along with the Navy fly-overs that make Virginia Beach so unique. The ravioli was absolutely delectable! Best bolognese I have ever had this side of Little Italy in NYC. Excellent service and reasonable price points. Solid house Cabernet suggested by the server. Just a lovely dinner experience.

I couldn't wait to try this new Italian restaurant out! Stopped in on Friday night with my best friend and we were absolutely impressed: the decor was modern and warm, the staff was very friendly and the service was awesome. We both opted for pizza and sparkling wine, a great suggestion from our server. Everything was absolutely amazing. Our server was attentive and we never had to ask for refills. We ended our night sharing a slice of Chocolate olive oil cake. If you're looking for a great dining experience whether it's from a girls night out, birthday party or date night, check out Sorella's! A few tips: * Since this is a new restaurant, I highly suggest making a reservation on Open Table. We made one and had no problem getting a table when we arrived. * There isn't a set dress code so jeans are appropriate for a cozy dining experience! * Parking is available on the street in front of the restaurant but it is limited. There is a parking lot behind the shopping center across the street and a garage available.

Back for a second visit. Clifford, the bartender, was wonderful again. The arancini was delicious. The pizza was okay. I was anticipating it to be as good as the same flavor of the bruschetta, but it was missing something. Maybe pine nuts? Everything else. 5/5. Clean. Quick. Attentive.

The ambiance is great very romantic dim lighting the whole spiel. Came on a Saturday with no reservation got seated right away. However when we received our food it was lukewarm. We ordered the fettuccine and one of the specials which were delish. Our server Lydia was lovely and very attentive

Italian on Virginia Beach!! Yes , this is the place. Great atmosphere. Great service. Even better food!!! The portions seem a little small at first but they were perfect. Oh and also important, clean bathrooms. Loved the craft beer as well.

As good as I expected to be. Service is always on point and their happy hour is killer. The pasta is made fresh and i couldnt be happier. Just like their sister restaurant, I'm always pleased with their food.

My husband and I did the pasta and wine experience at Sorella's. We honestly weren't sure what to expect, but we were so happy with our evening there! Vincent shared with us a little bit of history while teaching us how to make pasta. We were also given several starters with wine pairings while we let our pasta dough rest. We were allowed to take the pasta (ravioli) we made home, and the chef prepared a lovely pasta dish for us with a tasty bolognese sauce. Everything was delicious! Lastly, we tried cannolis with homemade limoncello (that we also got a bit of history on) that was delicious! Overall, we had a great time talking with the staff about the background of the restaurant, pasta, wine and more.... This is an experience we would love to do again. Whether you want to do something personal/ special like the pasta and wine night or you're just looking for good, authentic Italian food, I highly recommend this restaurant! (I wish I took more pictures, sorry!)

I had a great experience here. Making reservations for our party of 6 on a Tuesday evening was super easy. I found out they have Industry nights on Tuesdays where if you work in a restaurant, you get 50% off everything! Also, they have Happy hour Monday-Friday 3-6 pm. I'm not a fan of parking at the oceanfront so I was super happy they had valet parking. This made everything so much more pleasant! The restaurant is very spacious and beautifully decorated. Its natural lighting throughout gives off a cozy yet exciting vibe. Our server was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. After giving us the Happy Hour menu we proceeded to order numerous appetizers. Here is what we all ordered: Apps: Bruschetta, baked meatballs, fritto misto, prosciutto and goronzola plate Pasta: Linguine con vongole, radiatore, paccheri, tagliatelle nero, and spaghetti alla chitarra Dessert: tiramisu and affogatos I absolutely loved the fritto misto! The Meyer lemon aioli was wonderful. The calamari and shrimp were perfectly fried. My clams linguini was amazing! The broth was wonderful and made my mouth super happy. The bruschetta was beautiful and equally delicious. My son loved his spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone said they liked their dishes. I chose to get pistachio gelato with my affogato. Hubby ordered his with hazelnut. Great experience! Wonderful food! I can't wait to come back and bring the rest of the family!

Sat down and were told we had to be moved to a different table. Not the restaurant's fault but the manager immediately offered us complimentary drinks for the inconvenience. Food was amazing. It seems like they make most of their things in house. The marinara sauce was incredible

I was very excited to check this restaurant out as my husband and I are both huge fans of the Atlantic and once tried their special lamb ragu bolognese and were thoroughly impressed! Upon entering we were greeted by a friendly host and our first site was a beautiful pasta bar. It really gives that Italian feel and I'd love to come back and sit there and watch them make fresh pasta as we dine. However, this time we chose to sit at the regular bar, especially since it was our first time in! The bartenders were all very nice and did a wonderful job answering all of our questions and making appropriate recommendations to make our experience exactly what we were looking for. Most of their menu is made in smaller portions, including their pasta so it is perfect to order several small plates to share. My husband and I started with an Aperol Spritz and a Hugo Spritz. As a huge Aperol Spritz fan, I was so excited to see that they had several Spritzes to choose from and their own little menu. Both of the Spritzes we tried were delicious and hefty in size! I thought the prices were very reasonable all things considered. For lunch, we shared Risotto, Bruschetta, and Crispy Mozzarella. One thing is for sure-- they're not shy about using salt! All of the small plates were delicious, especially the Risotto and Bruschetta, both of which we would order again. I wasn't very impressed with the Mozzarella Bites and my husband and I agreed that they really could've used a little bit longer in the fryer because the cheese inside wasn't melted like you would've hoped. It was warm, but still very solid. For dessert, we tried some Zeppoles and they were delightful! I wouldn't say that they are a must have for us next time, but we did enjoy them. They serve Espresso Martinis from the tap, which I didn't enjoy as much. It tasted slightly artificially flavored and lacked the aromas and flavors of fresh espresso. However, the bartender recommended a delightful Spanish cocktail called a Carajillo (pictured) which is FRESH espresso, vanilla liqueur, and an orange swath. It was divine! All in all, we enjoyed our experience at Sorellas and look forward to returning to try some of their other offerings including their fresh pasta and pizzas!

New Year's Eve was our first time visiting Sorella's and we will definitely be back. I decided not to cook at home and take my family out for dinner. From beginning to end the experience was excellent. The food was amazing , the attentiveness of the waitress was excellent , the ambiance was excellent. Thank you for a great first time experience
