We had a big group dinner here with a set menu. The cocktails are lovely, I got some sort of spritz. Everything is really great but also HEAVY. On the set menu were: -Truffle Ricotta Toast -Lemon Pasta (Limone) - super lemony, pasta is obvously fresh -Vodka Pasta (All Vodka) - so cheesy and yummy -Steak - I love fatty so this was wonderful -Chicken Parm - Can't really go wrong with this one Staff were lovely. The interior of the spot is so gorgeous - I love the blue-gold color palette and the vintage decor. read more

This is a cool little spot. The decor is really fun in a gothic antique kind of way. While also being classy. It is tight inside, not a lot of space. Which normally would be cozy, but I wanted to feel less intimate with my neighbors on a date night with my husband. The service was fine. There when we needed, but didn't hover. The food: from the very thing I'd heard and how busy this place seems to be I expected perfection. I anticipated being blown away. Unfortunately, I wasn't. In my opinion it was just okay. The lasagna my husband got was okay, but pretty typical. The steak with the yellow chimichurri that I got was not good at all. My steak didn't have a lot of flavor on its own and I did not like the Chimichurri at all. It was quite the bummer. I'm glad we finally gave it a try. It was okay, but I can't say I'm in a rush to go back. read more

The ambiance is lovely. Good wine, interesting cocktails, freshly made focaccia ( at $14/ serving -it should be) salads are tasty. But this restaurant is very pricey for inconsistent food. We've been twice now- didn't love it enough the first time but wanted to give it a second chance. The lemon pasta was divine the first time- but my carbonara was unflavored paste- I literally thought I had COVID and lost the ability to taste food but everyone else's food tasted good so that theory didn't hold up. This time I ordered the lemon pasta and instead of creamy, delightful and tasty it was a little bland and watery. The waitress "fixed it " by offering me more Parmesan to thicken it. I'd added prawns- they were nice. My companion ordered the veal parm- the tomato sauce wasn't amazing and the breading was a bit heavy. He wasn't impressed and didn't finish the dish. The risotto was just OK. Again, it's very pricey for just OK. The food isn't trash but if you've had great food you don't want to pay so much for just ok. We would rather spend the money at Luna or Francaise or Wooden City. Dessert was yummy. The first time we went we arrived first seating and it looked like the AARP theater crowd, the last night we went seemed like a galantine's preview! So if you're there for the drinks, appetizers and ambiance it's quite nice. I can't endorse it whole heartedly because the entree's weren't consistently good enough to give the full 5 stars. Service was fine and we tipped accordingly. Good luck! read more

Oh heck yes!!! This restaurant is SO SO SO GOOD!!! Like yes please I will have that tonight and tomorrow and the next night! One of my extremely generous friends took me here and we had a feast! Started with the focaccia and then had a meatball each and the pesto pasta. I loved this pasta!! Super flavorful and it had burrata in it! Yes!! The take home winner was the new matcha cake dessert. So so so many layers of heaven. Loved it! read more

Warm light, rich flavors, cozy bites. Sorella knows exactly how to spoil you. Sorella 1122 W Summit Pkwy, Spokane, WA What We Ordered at Sorella: * Verde Salad sweet pears, tangy goat cheese, toasted almonds * Verdure roasted asparagus + broccolini, blistered tomatoes, balsamic dijon, pepitas. * Ricotta & Focaccia whipped ricotta clouds with maple, pecans, cranberry... dessert energy in disguise. * Dante's Meatballs huge, tender, classic, bathing in bright tomato sauce. * Dungeness Crab Risotto creamy, rich, saffron-kissed comfort with sweet crab on top. * Alla Vodka pillowy canestri pasta in a silky pink sauce // my favorite. I ordered it every time. * Matilda's Cake smaller than expected, but the best chocolate cake I've ever had. Still for $12 smaller than I thought it would be read more

Sorella in Spokane Washington was an unexpected treat. It's a high quality Italian restaurant outside downtown that looks unassuming but speaks loudly when you enter to find a unique design anchored with crazy melted wax candles everywhere. It sets quite mood that turned out to be a great evening. We ate at the bar and the bartenders were lovely. They were as good at their craft as they are making you feel at home. The food was great but the cocktails even better. My first cocktail was An Italian in Paris (photo #4). It was a delicious gin recipe coupled with two different aperitifs and Green Chartreuse. It was deliciously complex. My second was Riot Act which is a spin on the classic Black Manhattan (photo #2). If a cocktail could be angry and fun at the same time it would be this recipe. The balance of rye, Cynar, Benedictine and Averna was bonkers. They threw in a little Demerara syrup for balance and it was fabulous. I will be recreating both of these at home because they were that good. We capped off our memorable evening with a little limoncello. Why not . It was random that I visited Spokane for the second time in my life, but I'm glad I randomly visited this gem. If you ever find yourself in Eastern Washington go see the fine folks at Sorella.

We had dinner at Sorella last night. It has always been consistent and very good but I was disappointed last night. The Limone Pasta was tasty but very soupy and cooled not warm. The bolognese was also cooled not warm. Sadly, the prices have also dramatically increased and the portions are smaller. Still yummy just not as consistent. The staff and service are excellent. I read that Sorella will be closed on weekends throughout the summer so staff can enjoy the summer. Kudos to the owner for putting staff first!!! read more

Delicious and filling Italian dishes with romantic interior and kind staff. Ordered a sweet limoncello spritz and enjoyed the orange bitters gin/vodka martini. Dante's meatball were juicy with a bright red sauce. Loved the classic alla vodka pasta - saucy soft noodles + garlic forward. The veal was also very tender and bucatini was soft and buttery. Food came out a little slowly but it was a busy Friday night - thank goodness we made reservations! read more

Having been to Sorella a handful of times since my last review, it felt right to share an updated review and confirm that everything a year ago is still true. Their menu has evolved and as of recently, they brought the branzino back (thank you!) - but we still haven't had a dish we didn't like (and we've tried most!). Our go to order when we're bringing guests or having a splurge meal with friends is: the ricotta and meatballs to start (apps), the lemon and vodka pastas (be aware, the vodka pasta has heat!) or swap the risotto, and then the branzino and one of their parm dishes depending on how many are eating. Make sure to save room for an affogato at dessert! Hats off also to the wait staff and management team for making such a cozy but elevated spot - we've never had a bad experience at Sorerlla. read more

The best Italian in Spokane. Although the bar is not high in Spokane I can say as a foodie that travels extensively that it's good Italian food. Negative is they know it's the best in Spokane and you're going to pay for it$$$. read more

Inside of the restaurant was elegant! Would say that my pasta why slightly undercooked and chicken was far too salty. Overall good meal and experience but I fear for the price the pasta should be better. read more

I would have liked to know so I'm letting others know, it's dark, very loud, and extremely crowded. Although I'm able bodied, it's notable that is not ADA friendly. The tables are extremely close together and it's very difficult to have a conversation when the place is packed. It's extremely overwhelming. The servers have to squeeze between the table. Although I liked and enjoyed the taste of ALL of our food, I personally found the pasta undercooked and was surprised that it wasn't hot. We had the carrots, bread, chicken, 2 pastas, and 2 drinks. It was all very, very good and I plan to return to try more things, but it was a very overwhelming place to me. I found the staff to be helpful when ordering and very kind. Our server noticed that I don't drink and brought me a virgin limoncello to try and that was so nice! They sat us on time and did not rush us out. read more

Went for our anniversary. Lots of hype about this place, and we were excited to try it. The ALL VODKA was a very nice dish, smooth with a nice spice. All the pastas were cooked perfectly al dente. Salads were also very delicious and recommend them both. The PARMIGIANA DI VITELLO and POLLO ALLA PARMIGIANA had huge portions, but my son and husband both thought the dishes were bland and nothing special. My husband's Old Fashioned was watered down. For a $350+ tab, we weren't impressed and won't return. read more

Great spot for any special occasion!! Food is always delicious and shareable! Will visit soon again :))

Pros: Very good food (not quite great, but close); good drinks; wonderful interior and ambiance; nice location Cons: Pricey; service just a little clunky Overall this is a great restaurant in Spokane. Great for special occasions and romantic date nights read more

My (now) fiancé took me here to celebrate our anniversary and our engagement yesterday!! We loved the vibe of the restaurant with the beautiful gold frames, the perfect lighting, and the green/teal color wash! Everyone was so kind and so excited for us and the chef welcomed/congratulated us and treated us to some of the most delicious food I've ever had!!! They also brought us a glass of champagne to celebrate! It was a perfect way to end the perfect day!!! We agreed that every year this place is where we will be celebrating our anniversary read more

We came to Sorella for my wife's birthday after hearing great things and it definitely lives up to the hype. The vibe makes you feel like you're not even in Spokane and the staff is awesome. You can tell they love what they do. The food was full of flavor and our server Sarah went out of her way to make my wife feel celebrated and helped me pull off a surprise gift. We ordered the prawns appetizer and it was incredible and way more filling than expected since the prawns are huge. The crab orzo with grilled chicken was solid too. We'll be back to try more. Highly recommend. read more

Tucked in Kendall Yards is a gem of a special occasion, chic, Italian restaurant. Step inside Sorella and be transported to Florence, Rome, or the Amalfi coast. You are definitely not in Spokane anymore. They have an outstanding bar and their wine selection is excellent. The food is divine, we started with the caprisi salad. I had their so delicious Lasagne, that if you don't come early enough they will have run out. My friend had the Veal Milanese another great choice. I don't think you can go wrong here on your choices and that's what makes it so difficult to choose. The service was friendly and informative our server helped us with our decisions and described some items we were unfamiliar with. It's definitely a five star kind of place. read more

Our first visit to Sorella. Recommend by a friend. Had to make reservations a couple weeks in advance. Food was amazing. My wife and I ate family style as recommended. Ceasar salad to start was a perfect portion for two. Entrees were lasagne which was the best I've ever tasted by a mile and vitello Milanese (veal) which was equally delicious. Service was on spot. Seating is right next to other diners so not private but everyone was friendly and enjoyable. Will definitely return. Not inexpensive but the quality and service are well worth the price. read more

We went for a special celebration month or two ago. The service was top notch. But we both got very sick after and my husband threw up. For me it was the other way around. His veal parmesan breading was thick, wet and tasteless and his pasta was not even al dente - it was super undercooked. My duck was raw and squishy. I had to cut it into teeny pieces to eat any of it. I took it to go and threw it away. I should have said something but I struggle with complaining at restaurants and it was insanely busy. The tables were so close together we felt like we were eating with the people next to us. We will never go back. read more

I recently visited Sorella for the first time after hearing from many friends and colleagues that this beautifully designed restaurant also has excellent food. My partner and I didn't have a reservation, but we came by at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday and were able to get seats at the bar. This place does fill up, so unless you're here early or are going to chance it, reservations are a must. The bar offers a fun place to enjoy a cocktail and a meal. There is plenty of room to eat as the bar is roomy. Upon sitting down, we were quickly greeted by the bartender who asked me if I was Danish. I'm not Danish, but I lived there while studying at the Copenhagen Business School, and just so happened to be wearing some daisy jewelry from a very famous Danish silversmith that I purchased while living there. The fact that she recognized the jewelry because she's Danish and usually is wearing her daisy jewelry too was the coolest way to start off our time here. Honestly, how often do you find connection with someone so quickly? It felt kismet as I don't regularly wear my daisy jewelry. For dinner we shared Dante's meatballs. It comes with three meatballs and lots of extra sauce so we also got some focaccia to dip in the extra marinara. The focaccia alone was a standout and the whipped brown butter was salty and sweet at the same time. I also had the Cesare salad for dinner with grilled chicken. The house made dressing and lemon zest elevated this dish to a whole other level. My partner wanted the lasagna, but by 6 pm, they were already sold out. If the lasagna is not perfect, they don't serve it, making it more limited. Perhaps another reason to get here early too! He ended up with the Bolognese and said it was really good. For all the dishes we enjoyed and a couple drinks, we spent about $120 with tax and tip. So, Sorella is also fairly affordable considering the incredible quality. read more

I would come here every weekend just for the cute atmosphere. Green, gold and chic vintage italian inspired decor. So so cute! Skip the focaccia and go for the arancini. Cheesy rice and deep fried. What more can a girl ask for? I had the Alla vodka and added a meatball for protein. Think spicy Mac and cheese. Yum! My husband ordered the bolognese and it was phenomenal. I'm definitely ordering that next time. read more

Meh. Food was just okay. Way too expensive for just okay food. Yea it's pretty inside. That's about it. The service? Well....my fiance wanted a mojito, I looked up and saw they had a full bar, I thought oh they could probably make one. I asked our server and she said "no, we can't do that" We kind of laughed it off, thinking it was kind of strange. Normally someone would say oh we don't have the mint or whatever was missing. So then we began to wonder was it they're just pretentious and only want to make the drinks in the menu or they just didn't want to make it for us. We then watched the server take a shot, then a few minutes later chug a glass of wine, then nurse some other drink. We thought this was strange again, not really the type of place I expect to see that. Then a few people down from us are asking about the different types of rum that are available. Their server is talking through all of their options. Sooooo...they have the rum for a mojito, there was mint in front of me at the bar... Now I know not being able to order a mojito is not a big deal, very first world problems. But it just was so odd. So I decided I was going to ask the manager as we left I said hi, for future reference, do you have a full bar? Yes. So you can do mixed drinks like a mojito or something? Yes. Okay, I was just asking because we asked for one and were simply told "no". He quickly jumped in and gave me some story about not having the "right" rum. Didn't have the white rum, ordered it but not delivered, so sorry etc etc. I said no problem, just curious if it was as an "us" issue or what. He apologized again. We laughed. I left. Once we got outside my fiance said you know he lied to you? I was confused, he reminded me of the customer a few seats down from us who was getting the rundown of all the rums they had available. So they did have it. Anyway, not really a big deal, not the end of the world. The food's not great, pretty simple, and after that whole weird exchange we won't be going back. There's so many restaurants to choose from in Spokane, go get some good food where you won't over pay and won't be (weirdly) lied to read more

This was our first visit to Sorella as tables are somewhat difficult to reserve. (High demand) The ambiance at first walk in was impressive with gold framed paintings dominating the walls and low romantic lighting. We ordered some very impressive dishes but I will say that the glazed carrots were especially tasty! However, what made our night was true was the exceptional service from Issac and Elisha! They made our dining experience a very memorable one as they were so kind and personable. We will be back for another dinner! Thank you Issac and Elisha! Joe & Amelia O'Brien read more

Fabulous. Lauren (owner) has outdone herself with the menu and space of Sorella. Dishes are carefully and thoughtfully prepared and I enjoyed watching through their open kitchen. The star of the show for me was the spaghetti served with my eggplant parmigiana. House made and simply prepared with butter, I left eager to try the rest of the pasta on their menu.

Booked a dinner res at 5 PM for mom and my first trip to Spokane -- we visited from Los Angeles. First impression: BEAUTIFUL, classy, eye-catching. It almost has a speakeasy-esque atmosphere. It is very inviting and romantic. Would be great for a date night. This establishment makes its own pasta, but also has a few entrées and a variety of apps. We went with the arancini, which was DELICIOUS. It was perfectly fried and the smoked mozzarella pomodoro with basil oil sauce was superb. We also ordered the radiatore pesto pasta dish, which came with prawns, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini. The pesto was tasty, but our shrimp was slightly overcooked and the dish as a whole could have been hotter. Not a deal breaker, just an observation. We shared the branzino, which came with arugula/fennel salad, green salsa, and lemon. Though the sea bass was cooked perfectly, we thought the plating could use some work. It just appeared somewhat sloppy. Also, for a $42 plate, we expected a larger fish. Our server said the branzino is a whole fish without the head and tail, but it seemed rather small. Service was friendly and accommodating. No complaints! Definitely book a res! read more

Such an amazing experience. The food was incredible, and the service was awesome. Already looking forward to my next visit.

The pasta is handmade by a lady who rolls each one by hand! Sooo delicious! I had the trumpet pasta and it was amazing.
