The food was spectacular! I have had anything so delicious, both the sandwiches and sweets, since New York several years ago. And the service was amazing. Although the line was out the door, the person taking our order was calm and polite! The people making the sandwiches were focused, friendly and polite!! Very friendly, light and positive atmosphere! Everything about it was wonderful! read more

I was driving by one day and decided to host a small Meetup group at this cute Caffe. I'm so glad I did because this cute little shop reminds me of Italy. The food is amazing. I had a sandwich and lemon gelato. The focaccia bread was so yummy on my sandwich. I will definitely be returning. read more

The desserts were delicious but the stand out to me was the focaccia sandwiches. They were delicious!! Everything we got was amazing. The Giovanni sandwich was soo good. Their Tiramisu was phenomenal. The store is on the small side, but go on a sunny day and sit on their patio, it's very cute. Because they are on the smaller side, the line can get long. They move fast and are polite to everyone they are serving. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I am so excited that this joint is opening up in my neck of the woods. I barely make it out to the Overland area and now they are right down the road from me! It's great! I stopped by today to see if they were open. They weren't which is a bummer but I look forward to trying out their goodies! From what is set up, it's looking pretty cute! I love the bright yellow tables outside. There is an olive tree out front as well, it's all very inviting. Looking inside, everything is shiny and pretty. The venue is small so the tables outside is nice. I'm cooking forward to coming here Thursday when they open. I have heard nothing but great things about this place. Excited for some foccacia, a cannoli and some coffee. read more

This place is the real deal. If you're looking for an authentic Italian sandwich, look no further. Not only are these the best sandwiches I've had outside of Italy, they have the most delicious pastries. From tiramisu, to puff pastry's, affogato to cannoli's, everything is done to perfection. If you are wanting to try their pastries, get here early because they usually have a long line and sell out! This is the spot I find myself wanting to come back to again and again. read more

There were a lot of people there, so I automatically knew it would be good. I went close to closing time, so they didn't have many items left, but the dessert I got was delicious. I would recommend going there to my friends. It's a small place, so there aren't many seating options. read more

When I wrote the FTR in December 2025 for this focacceria (focaccia bakery) and pasticceria (Italian pastries) I mentioned that it had been worth every moment of the 50 minutes my husband and I spent waiting in line on a 29 degree morning to get in the door on opening day. I also mentioned that I was not a fan of the location in a decrepit strip mall in Boise (one of many). Although Caffe Sorrento owners, Tony and Emma Curcuru, did an admirable job of turning the tiny space they leased into the best it could be under the circumstances, it was not a great location overall. (And for me, I have had multiple sclerosis since college years, largely inaccessible given the strip mall owner failed in ADA compliance for parking.) The Curcuru's business became so deservedly popular so quickly, the space became a problem and, frankly, they deserved better for setting as did all of us who wanted to support them. BUONA NOTIZIA!: The "hooray" news is that this summer Caffe Sorrento relocated to a newer strip mall in Boise on cusp of Garden City, taking over a space that had most recently been a charcuterie to go spot that provides more space for them to work and sell their good things in as well as for customers who go in to look and select. There is also a convenient to use parking lot and more opportunity for little, cafe style table seating on the outside walkway without blocking it as happened at the old location. WAYFINDING FOR THE NEW IMPROVED LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION: When I looked today, 9/19/25, the Yelp page still showed the old (Overland) address. The correct address is 5624 W State St and this is the cusp of Garden City and Boise in the same strip mall building that has The Local at one end of it and a yoga studio at the other and is maybe half a mile'ish from Far West Nursery on the same side of State Street.. As aside, the new location is also closer to my home. This may not necessarily be better for my waistline, but it is better for my taste buds and spirit. (I thought about all of this as I sat outside at a table yesterday sharing with my Sicilian heritage husband an Italian pastry cream filled and chocolate glazed brioche dough "cream puff" as well as a "Daneshe", I think that is how it was labeled, marizpan and sliced almond topped yeast dough pastry and sipping espresso. Molto, molto bene. NEWISH HOURS: Sometime in September they swapped out Wednesday for Sunday and they are now open Wednesday through Saturday (now closed Sunday) from 9a to 2p (or earlier if sold out). NEW OFFERING: On Friday evenings beginning at 6p, they sell gelato. Called Carmela's Gelato, I think, after their adorable daughter who was born just a few weeks before Caffe Sorrento opened. SEATING: Several cafe tables on the walkway. LOO: Since this is primarily a take-out food business they are not required to have and do not have a public loo. Plan accordingly. ACCESSIBILITY: Parking lot is ADA compliant for spaces and in lucky coincidence, they are right outside the door. Read less read more

Great service and such delicious sandwiches and incredible focaccia! Will go back again for sure!

I like LISA!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!! This was my first time trying an Italian sandwich. Tony and Emma asked if I liked it spicy. Oh my! I just found the best sandwich in the world! read more

The sandwiches are delicious! The way they get customers in and out is a great way to serve many people. I do wish there was more seating.

This is one of those places where you understand the value of patience. Each time we have gone, there has been a line out the door because the space is only small enough for standing room for 8 people, all of whom are waiting for their order or their turn to order. The pastries are to die for. We came for the first time last week, paid our penance in a long line, and was greeted by the warmest family you can find on the edge of Boise and Meridian. They made a handful of recommendations and every single item was a hit. Today we're here for sandwiches, but in sure next week will bring in a new weekend treat read more

Good lord!!! This Italian bakery is devine! You know you've hit a gem when the place is packed on a Sunday morning. My kids and I absolutely loved their baked goods. The sandwiches were very fresh but I think the sweets are even better! Overall I loved this place but I will say it was extremely slow at making 2 sandwiches. We waited close to 30 minutes to get our to go order. Would I go back? YES!! I love supporting small places like this that treat food as a craft. read more

Only 8 people at a time, there was a line at 9:20~ on a Sunday and we waiting about 20 minutes to get in and order and then waited outside for our food Serafino was a pretty good sandwich, I will say its not the best focaccia sandwich I've had but it had great flavor Cannoli was kind of the same vibe -- great flavor and crunch of the shell but not my number 1 I did not like the rame di napoli but that might be preference read more

Absolutely delicious! We got the Serafino: Mortadella imported from Italy, Stracciatella, Basil Pesto Spread, Crushed Pistachios and the Francesco: Genova Salami, Pecorino Garlic Spread, Sun-dried Tomato, Fennel, Arugula on herbed focaccia. The bread was pillowy with crunchy edges and glistened lightly with olive oil. BEST focaccia sandwiches outside of Italy...and right here in Boise. 100% worth the wait, and get there early...they will sell out! read more

I had an unfortunate experience with the Giuseppe vegetarian sandwich today. It has a lot of ingredients, and I was worried that some of them might not make it into the sandwich due to how busy the store was, and I was right. It's supposed to come with olives and capers, among other ingredients, but my sandwich only seemed to have ricotta, cherry tomatoes, very few white onion pieces, arugula, and oil & vinegar that soaked through the bottom of the bread. If the missing ingredients were truly there, they must have been so minuscule, as to not even register on my palate. In all truth, there was found in the sandwich one partial olive, which leads me to believe that they did forget the rest. The cherry tomatoes were very tasty, along with the rest of the ingredients. I just was expecting to get everything shown in the description for the $14 price. . The owner was friendly, as usual, as were the rest of the staff. Everyone was working efficiently and cleanly. The new location is beautiful and slightly bigger, but so far from its original location, that I doubt they will keep the same customers. Still, they were quite busy as they should be for their excellent and authentic products. There are a few very petite tables out front as the interior is standing room only. . Will I return? When I am in the area, definitely yes. read more

What a gem we have got - takes me back to Italy in a heartbeat. Food is amazing - service and ambiance so great . I can come here every day

Such a great spot. Great quality and fresh food. The bread is made fresh and melts in your mouth, it is the best bread I have ever had. Such a great family owned cafe with roots in Europe. Would recommend any of the sandwiches they are absolutely amazing. Stop in for lunch sometime, you will keep going back! read more

I was delighted to find out that at the new State St. location they have steady business but not the 1 hour lines of the older, smaller place (even if you arrived before opening). At the 9am Friday opening and with schools on holiday there was only 1 customer ahead of me and a couple others already served. The steady traffic never had the line out the door or even completely filled the inside. During the reasonable wait for multiple sandwiches I think everyone in line had their order taken within 5 min. The owner said only arriving a bit later on Saturdays typically has the longer line or problems with many things sold out already. This definitely makes it easier to go more regularly! I always loved the food and treats; now it can also be quick if you don't have a ton of time to spare. read more

This is my first visit at Caffe Sorrento since their move from Overland to State Street outside Garden City. The location is in a strip mall and the Caffe has a few bistro tables outside on sidewalk and no indoor seating. Get your order to go and go grab a seat at a park or on the Boise River. First, the smells that hit me when I opened their door took me right back to Italy. They offer a variety of Italian pastries, cannoli, cookies and foccacia sandwiches. On my first visit I had to have a maritozzo which is a sweet brioche pastry covered in Italian vanilla bean cream and I then ordered the Serafino sandwich which was mortadella, crushed pistachio, stracciatella and basil spread. I drove these goodies all the way back to Star to share with hubby. The sandwich was large cut in half making it easily shareable. I must say, I am not a lover of foccacia but this bread was so fresh and pillowy on the inside a perfect vehicle for whatever filling you want. This bread was not dry or crumbly. The sanwich flavors were a hit. Mortadella isn't for everyone but I love it and it was definitely a taste of Bologna. The maritozzo was almost softball size and the sweet brioche was not soggy; the Italian vanilla cream was perfect not to sweet and more than enough for each bite of the brioche. I made myself an espresso and added a spoonful of the crema to it. Perfecto! I can't wait to try other menu items. The staff were great and there was no line on a Friday morning. You just have to be prepared to eat your goodies somewhere else. Bravo! read more

Get a cannoli and sandwich ASAP! Both are delicious and truly authentic goodness. The couple who owns this place is so friendly too -- take time to check out the wall of photos. It's a small place and perfect for takeout or an intimate lunch date. Some of the pastries are only available on weekends, so just a head's up! read more

Decided to go on a whim because it was nearby and it was genuinely one of the best decisions ever!!! small and cozy, truly unique and authentic place. the menu is small but filled with delicious authentic choices for all different kinds of pallets. their pastries were so beautiful and delicious.

Our Italian friends in town recently told us about this place, so we of course had to try it immediately. The sandwiches are delicious, along with the almond cappuccino and treats. They were unfortunately out of mortadella on the day I went, so I did leave a bit heartbroken. Hoping they will get more soon! read more

We stopped in on a Sunday morning and were met with a line down the sidewalk. The hype is real and for good reason. Who doesn't love seeing a family run business thrive. We tried a few items and everything was decent. We decided that maybe we just aren't huge fans of the cannoli's. We loved their gluten/dairy free options. The olive oil muffin was spectacular! We doesn't try and sandwiches this day... they did Horace to get great praise from everyone else in line. read more

Sandwiches and desserts,cookies, coffee are delicious ! A taste of Sicily A must visit

Amazing! Caffe Sorrento opened yesterday with big lines so we held out til today & happily waited for about 5 minutes to order & maybe 8-10 for our food. Our family of 4 ordered 2 focaccia sandwiches (Dino & Flavia), 4 mini cannoli & a dozen mixed cookies because he's 100% Italian & once he saw & smelled everything he wanted to try everything! We've had plenty of focaccia before & it's never been my favorite because it can be too dense & tough for me. This focaccia is not that! It's light, golden, yummy by itself & so flavorful with the delicious fillings! We all loved both sandwiches. All of the cookies & pastries were amazing! Each tasted so different & rich. But still delicate & truly delicious! We're so lucky to have this beautiful little place in Boise! We'll definitely be back (probably this week!!) & we'll be telling our friends!! Thank you!! read more

Sooo incredible!! I closed my eyes eating and I was back in a piazza in Italy! I can't relieve the name, but the one with mortadella and striaciatella and pistachio, OMG! don't even get me started on the maritozzo!! We weren't planning on eating the woke thing in one go, but couldn't help ourselves. They have italian sparkling water, which always tastes so much better than ours on the states for some reason. Can't wait to return. Note: there will be a line out the door, no seating in the small interior, some tables out front. They owners seemed like a very sweet family. So happy to have them! read more

It's been a pleasure getting to know Tony and Emma (and now Carmela) from their cannoli cart and it was especially rewarding to visit them in their grand opening of their new venture, Caffe Sorrento. It was heartwarming to see the large turnout of faithful supporters, and it was worth the long wait in the cold to get in and sample some delicious offerings. I had the Dino - (prosciutto, provolone, arugula, pistachios and fig on amazing homemade focaccia). It just might have been the best sandwich I've ever had. The taste combination took me back to my visits to Italy and Sicily. And of course I had to have some delicious cannoli and almond cookies to go with it. I'm so happy to have this taste of Italy available now and I will gladly go back often to support this wonderful couple! read more
