My wife had grilled chicken sandwich & enjoyed. Fries were fluffy inside and yummy (though I stole half from my her since they were so good ) Don't miss the dessert (cannoli & gelato, tiramisu, cakes). Service was quick & bathrooms clean to make a quick pit stop off of 64/13. Was told they've been here since 2002 - so don't let the small number of reviews or MIA website link worry you . They are here and terrific!

So disappointing! I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now, unfortunately it was…read morenot great. The food was bland and expensive for what you get. We ordered the cheesy breadsticks. It was fried dough that must have been fried sometime in the past and then microwaved so it caused the outside to be really tough but not at all crispy. My entree was chicken Marsala. It didn't come with any pasta or mash potatoes and the sauce was very thin and didn't stick to the chicken at all while also being flavorless. Basically boiled chicken. I usually like to get desert when out at dinner, however the deserts in their case looked so unappealing, we decided to drive 15 mins away to get cake from the Sea Horse cafe. The two servers were okay, generally polite but didn't look at you when passing the table so it was hard to let her know when you needed something.

We dropped off my brother's car for some collision with a deer work at Graham's and they were close and we were hungry. I didn't get a chance to peruse the menu in detail so I followed hubby's order by also getting the meatball sub with fries. Y'all, those meatballs were so chock full of flavor, I could have had just those and been 5 star happy. We both loved the toasted bread and the battered fries. I thought at first there wouldn't be enough fries but after my first meatball sub bite, the fries were actually after thoughts. I ate as many of the fries as I could and brought the rest home for our dogs. As for my delectable, flavorful meatball sub, I didn't even get a 1/4 of the way of my half size sub. Sometimes you can get too much marinara/tomato sauce that it drowns out everything else. That was not the case here. There was just enough to coat the meatballs and remind you that homemade always tastes better than jar sauce. They do a bang up take out service. We arrived here around 330 & while the cook time wait seemed long, it was worth it. There were alot of orders ahead of us and with every take out order, my desire for my sub grew with each, unique and different smell. If you're in Moyock and hungry, don't neglect your taste buds and get yourself a sub. Their pizzas are great too!

I'm nitpicking but in most Italian restaurants I've been to, they all give you bread with some good olive oil to dip, thus place NO, I asked for some bread to go with my 29 dollar appetizer mussels in red sauce & didn't receive any!!

I even opened the kitchen door and nobody would listen to me when I told them they had people waiting And they acted like I was lying. She said nobody was here even though I just left. Actually argued with me about it told me I had called the wrong restaurant, which I most definitely did not. Update ‐ i was contacted by them and Apparently it was only 3 or 4 minutes (the second time I came to the line I guess) according to the video. I guess they had no proof of the several minutes I was in the restroom and then the time it took my husband to go out and move the car and come back in to me waiting. Also the woman on the phone basically told me I called the wrong restaurant which I did not. I was and do not want a free meal that is not what this review about. The restaurant was dead. There is no excuse for us or the gentleman that was in front of us to wait when I literally opened the restaurant kitchen door and they were looking in my direction. You know I dont work there when you saw me staring in so there should of been SOMEONE come out. Even if I was told sorry we are short handed be right there. I would of been super ok with that. I guess they were talking so much they didnt hear or care ‍

Several people had reservations and I wish I had made one too. Next time, I will. We definitely had to wait for a table. There were only 2 servers. Our waitress was very very nice but service was definitely slow. I feel bad even saying anything because she was so nice but very busy. Forgot a few things but never seemed flustered or rushed. We ordered 2 pizzas and a pasta with meat sauce. It was delicious. The pizza crust was thin and crispy. Pasta was cooked perfectly. We did get bread and it was okay. Nothing special. But the everything else was delicious. Make a reservation and enjoy the food.

I love Sorella's! I've been here couple times and tried out multiple pasta dishes and some pizzas,…read moreand all of them are pretty good. Ingredients are fresh, and they make their pastas in house. The service are always fantastic too. My favorite pasta dish is Tagliatella Naga, and for appetizer I love their Fritto Misto. Their price is also very reasonable in nowadays prices in VB. Sorella is the only spot that I didn't have to think about getting an appetizer or not due to the price because their pasta dishes are very valuable.

You know an Italian joint is going to be good when the first thing you encounter is someone making…read morepasta by hand. Sorella's carries a philosophy throughout. The food and cocktails are executed with remarkable precision, but two deserve particular mention: the crab rice and the Espresso Martini Dark. The crab rice performs that wonderful Italian trick of making something luxurious without making it precious. A seemingly humble dish is elevated into something genuinely gourmet--rich and deeply flavorful in every bite. Then comes the Espresso Martini Dark. Its pleasure lies in balance--the invigorating cold bitterness of fresh espresso against the measured sweetness of Kahlúa. Neither wins, which is precisely why the cocktail does. The bartender is equally accomplished behind the bar and in the increasingly neglected art of hospitality. Its outdoor seating has the easy elegance of a little restaurant one might stumble upon in Italy or Buenos Aires: intimate, convivial, and seemingly unconcerned with trying too hard.

"Fast, convenient, good takeout Italian sandwiches, entrees, and more"…read more Punchline-- pass on the sandwiches (tasty but not big) and go for the entrees (giant and similarly priced) We ordered some takeout from this place based on positive Yelp reviews. Fortunately, Yelp came through for us! Note, although some things mention that you can eat in, at the time of this review, there were no visible tables inside-- it seemed to be a takeout only operation. Also, some of the online menus are now wrong-- they list all the meals and sandwiches as coming with a drink included, but they do not do so any longer. We opted for sandwiches and dishes, but they do have some desserts too-- we didn't partake this time. Service: very friendly, both when ordering and during pickup. They also warned us as we ordered about the menu/ drink change mentioned above, which helped prevent any unpleasant surprises. Food: Two of us got sandwiches and two got meals. Mozzarella caprese & Italian cheesesteak sandwiches -- both very good. Each came with a side of chips. But my family members who got these finished their food for dinner and found themselves still hungry. Note, these sandwiches cost $14. Lasagna & eggplant parmigiana -- These came with garden salads (though you could opt for bread for the eggplant parm). GIANT. It was a vat of food. I will say that a lot of the weight was the delicious tomato sauce, so there's a reason to consider getting bread. But even still-- I didn't finish my meal, nor did the other person who ordered one. These cost $16-17. Quite a contrast to the folks who ordered the sandwiches. Synopsis: Go for the entrees. WAY better value. And worth hitting up this place more generally for takeout if you want a break from seafood.
