Sorellina

Best pizza in Philly. As authentic as you can get it, Neapolitan pizza at its finest. Lots of different options and all good. The caponata with homemade focaccia is remarkable! The place is also cute, a little dark and unfortunately your clothes end up smelling a little but totally worth it. Price is average (around $20 per pizza) for Philly.

We visited on Thursday night and there were only two tables occupied. The Italian music playlist is to reconsider. Bar size is far too big comparing to the sitting area. Didn’t like how walls, tables and chairs are aesthetically matching. For the above reasons I’m giving a 4 star rating. Service though, despite the previous ratings, was fast, polite, with several follow up and suggestions concerning food and drinks. That means that owners take in consideration the comments and try to improve. We had the potato and prosciutto croche that was quite tasty but could be assorted with a basil pesto or marinara sauce dip. Let’s pass to the pizzas: Modern Neapolitan canotto style dough (cornicione a bit more chewy to my taste), cooked to perfection (top and bottom) with high quality toppings. Overall, maybe it’s the best Neapolitan style pizza in Philly very close to the authentic one.

Recently stumbled in here with my partner, and I can’t believe we didn’t hear about it sooner honestly. We started with 'Nduja fritta appetizer which was a spicy sausage in a deep fried batter. Highly recommend. I had the Diavolo pizza, which was incredible, and had just the right amount of spice from the Calabrese salami and peppers. My partner had the Bronte pizza which has burrata, mortadella, and toasted pistachios. The combo comes together really well to create a lovely balance of flavors. Their pizza is Neapolitan style, and had that typical soft, slightly chewy interior with a touch of char and crunch on the outside. The vibe was perfect for a cozy Friday date night, and the staff was super friendly and attentive.

I attended a wedding dinner here last evening and I highly recommend considering Sorellina for your next event. I would call it a medium sized venue although I don't have an exact number of people they can accommodate. It's definitely worth checking out. Everything and everyone associated with the restaurant are top notch. I look forward to returning when possible as well as recommending Sorellina as much as I can.

Loved everything we ordered, amazing food! Pizza with lemon topping was exceptional. Coming back soon 👍🏽

My wife and I went to Sorellina for dinner. We both can't understand how it is possible that the place was half empty on a Saturday night. The pizza is truly excellent, from the dough to the toppings. Possibly one of the best Neapolitan style pizza we have tried in Philadelphia. The wine and dessert were also quite good. As native Italians, we highly recommend Sorellina!

Such a cute, trendy, yet casual spot to grab a bite to eat! We truly loved everything we ordered. Three girls went to have dinner and we split the Insalata di rucola, Crocchè di patate, Pizza Fritta and Pizza Stella. It was the perfect amount, and all dishes were truly so yummy!! The Pizza Stella was a little spicier than I expected, not in a bad way but the ‘nduja definitely packed a punch. The atmosphere was great. We went on a Thursday summer night and it was almost empty, which is why I took 1 star off overall because even with how empty it was, our waiter seems more preoccupied to chat with his coworkers than tend to his tables. This was nothing drastic and we still had a lovely time, it was just bothersome having to call him repeatedly over to the table to do a simple task as to place drink orders. I would recommend this spot in heart beat if you’re looking for a good pizza and a laid back casual atmosphere!

This was an unfortunate night to have very slow service. I think they were under staffed because i didn’t see a waitress for over 30 minutes and asked the hostess multiple times I think she could have been more helpful seeing the waitress was backed up. The other staff member also. It was Just chaotic and we never got our salad and still got charged so that had to be redone and mind you this waitress is probably going crazy and I feel for her but also like get help it was Wild every table was like what is going on here. Oh and she gave us the wrong pizza but we were running late trying to catch the show it was Like okay cool this kinda bummed us. Hopefully they can get their ish together for others to enjoy

Came back to try the Stella and it did not disappoint. I've been dreaming of coming back to sorellina for pizza because it's still my favorite place in the city! The crust quality and the quality of the ingredients are just excellent. We just don't live close so it takes us awhile to drive in. The Stella was so unique and delicious! The crust just folds around the ricotta in a really chewy yet crunchy way, and the ricotta is so soft! So so yummy. I would get this again!! Highly recommend it.

I'm a huge fan of neapolitan pizza. What I didn't realize until now is that I live right next to a place where I could get my cravings fulfilled: Sorellina. After passing by this cute spot on a daily basis, I finally got the chance to check them out during their happy hour today. Upon entering, I was wowed by their ambience. Their interior design has a mix of urban modern chic look with the exposed brick wall in combination with the casual elegance of the candlelit table tops and crystal chandelier adorning in the middle section. What I didn't particularly like was their chairs, since the lack of cushions left a lot to be desired in terms of tushy comfort. For food, I ended up trying their margherita pizza and nduja fritta. The crispy nduja's breading was nice and crunchy, but the filling was a bit too salty for my liking. The margherita pizza, on the other hand, was cheesy and the saucy. Since I prefer my pizza on the soggier side, this worked out well for me. If anything could be improved, however, it would be that their sauce wasn't seasoned enough. I tried mixing nduja fritta's filling with the pizza, but the combination didn't go as well as I thought it would. Something's missing from the taste profile, but maybe it's because I'm more used to meaty toppings.

Really beautiful cool spot. Small but cozy. The bar seats are incredibly uncomfortable but the bartender was very attentive and friendly. The pizza is delicious! Love seeing the pizza over right there. Pretty small menu with limited food/ drink options.

Very cute! Bright and fresh w tile everywhere. We came on a Friday evening when there was a light crowd and were seated in a lovely spot by the window. We each got a pizza. The margarita pizza was an absolute delight! The stuffed crust pizza was a bit gimmicky. The sauce and crust were great with a nice spice from the sausage. We both had a really nice glass of wine.

I'm very skeptical of hotel-adjacent restaurants but this spot really should not be put in that category. It's new and maybe has some growing pains but really is worth the try. Have to start with the service. Alexander was so pleasant and answered every question I had with a thoughtful and educated answer-for example: what is DOP tomato (plz ask). You can tell that the staff enjoy what they do and believe in the spirit of the restaurant. Turning to the food, this was good-not great but eventually will be great. We weren't super inspired by the list of appetizers and ultimately went with the bomba calabrese (tuna-stuffed Calabrese cherry bomb peppers). This was a nice bite...it was worth trying. We were really torn about the pizzas as there is a good amount of options but not a ton of variety. Ultimately, we went with the bronte, our favorite of the night (pesto, mozzarella, mortadella, buratta, pistachios-what can go wrong?), and the night special of a fennel and lamb sausage combination. I'm not so used to having so much crust and so little base layer to substantiate the ingredients, but I realize this may be what makes a Neapolitan pizza? It just made it feel like the crust and breading was a skosh dry, so we ended up dipping into a side of olive oil. In terms of growth, I think the layout of the restaurant needs reworking. The center bar is gorgeous, as are the window seats. The remaining tables seem a bit like an afterthought and need to be arranged differently because the space isn't being used as effectively as it can be. And I know this is nit-picky, but the dishware didn't seem to match the theme and could be improved upon. Overall, I think this place has a ton of potential.

This is the casual restaurant from the chef/owners of the fine dining restaurant in the same hotel. Once it's fully open, it'll be a nice new addition to N Broad Street. The dining room is simple, but very light and airy. It also had some really fun art, which definitely gave off a vibe. I had a pizza that I think is called the "Stella," which has a ricotta-stuffed crust. It was delicious. I'll plan to come back a couple of months after their firm opening, so that I can get the "everything has been worked out" experience.

We has a great experience here with our two young kids. Food was good, great wine. And the service was great. They were so kind to our kids and gave them dough to play with. Will be frequent guests. And the restaurant is super cute inside.

Top fluffy doughs in the city - definitely well worth it. Drinks are fairly average. Space is interesting and airy

Some of the best pizza I've had in Philly (or anywhere!). The Stella was a showstopper. We also loved the tuna-stuffed peppers. A beautiful space!

Came for a pop up after hearing about this place on social media and the food did not disappoint! It's a cute spot in the Divine Lorraine with lots of natural light, good for a summer date night. Service was a bit slow, but I'm sure it'll get better later, as they're currently brand new. But the wait was absolutely worth it for the food. All of the ingredients were at peak freshness, and every bite was crafted with care. We ordered the arugula salad just for some fiber, in anticipation of scarfing down two carby pizzas, but the peppery arugula, crunchy walnuts, summer-ripe strawberries, and gorgonzola blended together in a wonderful medley, not too sweet or too bitter or spicy, just all fresh goodness. And the pizza! I'm not a huge fan of how soggy Neapolitan pizzas get in the middle, but I didn't mind it in this case because of the quality of the ingredients and the tastiness and chew of the crust. Again, all of the ingredients from the cheese to the tomatoes and endives and anchovies were noticeably fresh and delicious all on their own. We ordered the Sophia Loren and La Stella, and both were excellent, but La Stella (ricotta-stuffed pizza with 'nduja) is a must-have. The 'nduja is unflinchingly spicy, yet mellowed out by the cool and fluffy ricotta-stuffed crust. I've never had a pizza like that before and it should be a much bigger thing! For me, it was a standout pie in a city that's full of pizza. Do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for their opening, because you will want to try their food as soon as possible.

Food was great and the service was attentive, but the ambiance is horrendous. Please, install soundproofing on the ceiling. It's unbelievably loud inside. I considered getting up and leaving, something I've only done once or twice before in my life.

2.5 stars I am genuinely so puzzled by why I didn't like this. It was just OK, nothing memorable -- but I had such high hopes from other reviews raving about the authenticity. Maybe the margherita was a wrong choice. Nice ambience though.

Literally amazing. Came here because I saw a tiktok of the ricotta stuffed crust and needed to try it. We sat at the pizza counter and the chefs were so sweet. Service was amazing. La stella is a must. Also the gelato was seriously the best i've ever had in my life. They can do any of the pizzas vegetarian too which is nice. You gotta go here!!!!

We had the most amazing dinner here! First, I got to the restaurant a bit early and had a glass of wine. The som, Mike, was so knowledgable and let me taste several wines before selecting one--effectively my own private wine tasting. The fried pizza was so unique and *so good*! The service was incredible--really attentive. We waited an extra five or ten minutes for our table so they comped us desert--three scoops of delicious gelato--and were so kind. Overall, the location is ideal, the food amazing, the vibe immaculate, and I cannot recommend dining here enough.

The food is authentic and amazing. The caponata is a must try, many itialian restaurants attempt this dish but few nail it like the chef at sorellina.. also we went with a larger party so had the opportunity to try most of the pizzas, all were delicious.

Excellent experience overall. The pizza is the closest to genuine Neapolitan in the city. We'll definitely be back!

The 5:00 PM reservation started off as we were seated and a man in a white chef coat was shouting at the staff about a back pack being left out, no music being turned on and was snapping his fingers at and addressing the staff in a loud unpleasant manner. The waitstaff was nice, but the pacing was awkward. We asked for 2 glasses of their House Wine. If they didn't have it, it should have been disclosed before up selling us to the $19 and $18 per glass wines. The pizza came out before we could get a sip of our wine. Then the most bizarre thing happened: a male waitstaff member came to our table while we were eating and there were two slices on each pan and he took them away without asking. He brought them back in a box. This was not our first visit to the Divine Lorain, the outdoor Pop Ups, or Sorellina that we enjoyed immensely. But it will be the last time.

Sat at the pizza bar with some friends. Had the daily special pizza with fresh asparagus and ricotta, and it was delicious. Service was friendly and solicitous but not overbearing. The gelato was some of the best I have had. Would definitely return
