The food was a hit and a miss…read more The bruschetta appetizer we returned after a single bite as it was served slathered with a whole can of tomato paste on a half loaf of rock hard bread that was soggy in the middle with mushy meatballs. So needless to say we did not enjoy the non-traditional bruschetta. The boar was melt in your mouth tender and as my lady love described it "to die for!". As this was her first time trying boar I found it high praise indeed. She enjoyed the cocktail special of the night which was Espresso and stated it was one of the best she'd ever had. We took cannolis back to the hotel for dessert and thought they were fantastic. The restaurant was lively, noisy and it was difficult to hear one another, but everyone was definitely having a great time. The outdoor eating area had a wonderful atmosphere, but my one and only felt underdressed to brave the chill. The whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to the woman at the table next to us so it was an overall good night and a lively ambiance. The waitress took a bit to get to us at first as they were very busy but checked on us regularly. We will definitely return to try more food

It's time for our annual trip to Spokane for my wife's immersion and if you follow my reviews at…read moreall, you know that my job on vacation is to coordinate the food. This evening we decided we would go to Sorella. A gorgeous photo of their focaccia brought us in. Since finishing chemo and radiation for my breast cancer, food has been an interesting experience for me, so when I want something, I go for it immediately. I will note, if you're interested in trying Sorella, BOOK A TABLE! We were able to snag seats at the bar, but even on a Tuesday, this place is in demand, and after enjoying our meal, I can see why. When we walked in, we were stunned. Beyond the natural light flooding into the roo,m there were gorgeous deep teal walls with a gallery wall and gold accents. The bar was adorned with gorgeous counter tops that had low lights, and a mix of velvety chairs gave it a soft luxe feel. The aroma of the food was lightly sprinkled throughout, and the décor were simply stunning. It would be a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, date night or just a casual moment with friends. A full menu is available at the bar and the staff was incredibly attentive - more details on our experience are below, after the food review. Now let's talk about what we ordered. We got the Focaccia (of course), Arancini, Dante's meatballs, the Cesare, the Limone and a Pasta Speciale. Focaccia - 10/10 I love when food tastes as good as it looks. The focaccia melted in my mouth and carried so much flavor on its own. The whipped brown butter was such an excellent addition and truly a masterpiece to add to it. I could have easily ordered two more (and I should have). Arancini - My rating 7/10, My wife's rating 9/10 The presentation was beautiful on this dish. My rating centers around my taste buds not aligning with the flavor profile, and not really knowing what to expect. I find myself preferring a stronger, almost cheesy flavor now, and this was a bit more subtle. My wife, however, fully enjoyed them and loved the flavor they carried even without the sauce. Dante's Meatballs 10/10 Spectacular, give me 12! These were so delicious, the meat was so flavorful and the sauce, WHEW the sauce was delicious. Yes, we did dip the focaccia in the sauce. Cesare - 10/10 I love a good salad, and Caesar is my favorite. At other restaurants, I find myself wanting more dressing or more flavor ,and I often feel like pieces of the salad are missed when preparing. This salad was dressed from end to end. We squeezed the lemon on top, and it sealed the deal. Every bite was fresh and had a slight crunch and crisp that was exactly what we were looking for. Limone - 10/10 When we looked at the menu, my wife glanced over and immediately knew what I was ordering, and after my first bite, I was so glad that I did. The execution of this dish was perfect. The noodles were thick and almost creamy alongside the butter, and there was the perfect balance with the parmigiana reggiano. When I order it again (because we will be back), I will definitely add prawns. Pasta Speciale - 8/10 I meant to snap a photo of the menu, but this was on the special menu. There were prawns, mornay, garlic, arugula and a few other things that I am forgetting. The prawns were incredibly fresh, as were the noodles, and the flavors blended very nicely in this dish. Lemonade - 10/10 The lemonade was delicious! I don't know that I've mentioned this on any of my reviews before, but I love lemonade and order it with every meal outside of breakfast. This lemonade was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Limoncello - 10/10 We shared two of the housemade limoncello shots to go as we were checking out, and I wish I had recorded our reaction. The execution of the flavor was perfect, and it definitely packed a punch! Our server/bartender was Mary Katherine, and beyond being the sweetest, she was also incredibly knowledgable of the menu. As luck would have it, we ended up sitting next to the owner's family and got to chat with her amazing Mother throughout the night (who was kind enough to let her try some of her delicious lasagna) and ended up meeting the owner. Lauren, the owner, took a pause to talk to us, and it was so evident that she is truly such a brilliant and sweet soul. She radiates, and who she is as a person aligns exactly with how Sorella feels: ethereal. Overall, we had an amazing experience, from the ambiance to the service, the conversation at the bar, and the delicious food. We cannot wait to try Fratello's, the sandwich shop also owned by Lauren, this week.

The arancini was delicious, and my fiancé absolutely loved his steak. He said it was incredibly tender and cooked really well. It didn't come with any sides besides roasted tomatoes and a few ribbons of zucchini. Unfortunately, my meal was more of a mixed experience. I ordered the alla vodka, but the sauce had a strong goat cheese flavor to me, which I really don't enjoy. I didn't notice goat cheese listed in the description, so that was an unexpected flavor for me. I also added chicken breast to the pasta for an additional $14, and unfortunately it was very bland, dry, and stringy. For that price, I expected the chicken to be much better. The Caesar salad was beautifully presented, but it lacked the punchy, savory flavor I usually love in a Caesar. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, service, drinks, and some of the food, but for us, Sorella feels more like a place we'd return to for drinks and appetizers rather than a full dinner experience. I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and to try some of the other small plates, though!

We came with a group of 12 and ordered most of the things on the menu. The wine and drink menu is hefty and the cocktails were well made. Food: I'd recommend the entrees over the pastas. The portions are small-to-medium and everything is plated gorgeously with seasonal produce. The standouts were the King Salmon ($48) - it was so soft buttery! and the appetizers (burrata is a must!). I didn't try the desserts but the table didn't seem to like them. The service staff are all polite and attentive.

He explained they hand make their sauces every day, and you could actually watch the dude making the pastas by hand while you waited. The spaghetti had a little bit of spice to it and the other dish (I forgot the name) was PHENOMENAL. It was Jaiz's favorite lol. Overall ambiance was awesome and intimate, the drinks were great, the food was phenomenal, and Jaiz was an EXCELLENT server who was friendly and full of great recommendations. I cannot say enough about how great this was and I will definitely be back!

Gorgeous bar and plenty of seating. We had the olives and drinks to start (rosemary gin cocktail + a beer) and the Cacio y Pepe and the lemon pesto pastas for our main. For as colorful as the pesto pasta was, it hardly had any flavor. I added some of the olive and peppers from the appetizer to liven it up. Honestly, wished we hadn't ordered. Cacio was good, healthy topping of cheese, but bordering dry. Large portions. Glad we came during happy hour, much better pasta in the area at the regular menu price point.

The cheese was on point, perfectly melted, and packed with flavor. Every bite was freaking amazing! The minestrone soup was also fantastic! Rich, flavorful, and downright comforting. I also ordered a margarita, and let me tell you, they weren't playing around with the alcohol! That bad boy was strong, delicious, and definitely understood the assignment! Overall... This joint is freaking dope! The food, the atmosphere, the service, everything was on point! I was enjoying myself so much that I damn near started shouting "Bippity Boppity Boopity!" like Peter Griffin from Family Guy! That's how you know the Italian food hit the spot! If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and give this joint a try. Come hungry, grab a drink, and enjoy yourself. You will not regret it! BIPPITY BOPPITY

Exposed brick walls, bronzish art pieces, warm lighting--it feels stylish without trying too hard ( did not know restaurant is 30 years old) I was joining after a run, so I was probably a little underdressed . The general vibe is chic-casual, but I still felt completely comfortable and welcomed. My host was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the meal. I ordered the hanging tenderloin medium rare based on her recommendation, and she was also more than happy to add some greens on the side when I asked. I really appreciate that Mizuna makes a point of using vegetables from local farms. The dish almost reminded me of something you might get at a traditional Lyonnaise restaurant, but with a more modern and refined touch. The beet salad, though, was a piece of art. I would honestly come back just for this dish. The beets had an almost candied quality without being overly sweet, and they worked beautifully with the freshness of the mint and the creamy chèvre mousse. Fantastic balance of flavors and textures. Great atmosphere, genuinely warm hospitality, and food that feels thoughtful without being overly complicated. Mizuna was a really enjoyable surprise.

We got a bunch of apps and entrees and went family style. And the spumoni ice cream at the end is the cherry on top. The ambience is always gorgeous and homey inside of course and the service was very nice.
