Enjoyed another wonderful evening with friends at Sorella's! Daniela was our server and was very enthusiastic and helpful. The food was amazing and everything was beautifully plated. We enjoyed the Oysters Sorella, the brochette, and the fried mozzarella for appetizers! The Oysters were the favorite with the brochette a close second. For entrees two people had the Crab Pasta special which was so good it just was outstanding with large pieces of crab meat in a creamy sauce! Two people enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan with two people having the seafood Chopino. Everyone was very happy with their entree! Of course we had desserts and coffee. What a fun delightful evening enjoying great food with good friends! read more

In town visiting for the Shamrock Marathon and was glad to find a spot at the bar to grab a quick drink and a meal. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered the beet salad and brussel sprouts for appetizer's and the margarita pizza and fettuccine Alfredo for dinner. The food was delicious. Recommend! read more

Wanted to give a higher rating since everyone gave rave reviews! Brussel sprouts were inedibly salty, even the manager came back admitting that it was. The spaghetti and meatballs had serious issues. Was the pasta supposed to be made in-house? Spaghetti was soggy, tasteless - boxed spaghetti or spaghetti from a chain like Fazoli's is even better! The real issue was the meatballs - the center was still frozen! So don't kid yourself that you're paying for made from scratch food. The only saving grace was the response from management- bill was on the house. But here's the thing - the free take home Tiramisu wasn't good, tasteless and no hint of coffee. The redone meatballs were burnt!!! So even the take out food left a whole lot to be desired. read more

Made a reservation & came with a big group on a Saturday night. We split a bunch of the apps some of the favs were meatballs, brussel sprouts & the ricotta. The bread & oil that comes to the table are delicious as well! I got a lamb pasta and it was great. The lamb was tender & flavorful. The staff was friendly & helpful with questions/substitutions. To end the meal a bunch of us got affogatos & it was the perfect pick me up for the rest of the night! A great place for date night or girls night. read more

In town for a few days and found this gem up the street from our hotel. Our server, Brad, was very friendly and attentive, offering great suggestions. Happy hour from 3-6 has some amazing deals, including $5 off pizza and pasta. We had the caprese salad, baked meatballs, mushroom truffle pizza and cacio e Pepe pasta--all were 10/10. Even on a Monday, it was filling by 5:15 so snag a resy. Highly recommended! read more

Sorella's was amazing! The food was so good. I got the Italian chopped salad and a meatball sub. Staff were super friendly and nice . Place is beautifully decorated. I like the faux olive trees . We took some cute pics by them. There was a nice and spacious party room a couple was having a baby shower. What I really appreciated about Sorella's were the prices. Very reasonable prices especially these days where dining out has become so expensive this was so nice. I can visit here often because of it. This was a great place to eat! read more

I've seen so many good reviews and even asked a friend for recommendations and was told about this place. My friend and I came here around 5:30pm and were sat immediately. We were also greeted immediately so that's a plus, granted we came to VB during the off season. After taking some time to think about what to order, we decided on the bucatini (cacio e pepe) and the linguine con vongole. Food didn't take long, and they do offer bread and olive oil too. The portions were perfect and filling regardless of how small it looks. The interior is very classy and fancy, but the restaurant itself is very casual, or can be so don't worry about having to dress nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this place especially if you love pasta like I do. read more

Been here multiple times this place is always a winner to me. We actually sat on the other side of the dining room, which I have never seen before. It is beautiful. Typically, we sit on the side where the bar is, which is absolutely beautiful as well but this time we sat on the other side and views were amazing. they have beautiful booths in there, it's perfect for a larger party. I always order a few apps as I did this time no dish just a few appetizers. The service is always great. The food is always good with two other people one has been there before the other one has not. Both of them enjoyed their food cooked to perfection. I had the arancini bolognese, Sorella's Bread, and crispy mozzarella balls. The crispy mozzarella balls are hands-down one of my favorites for dessert. I ended up ordering affogato with hazelnut Gelati and a side of amaretto. My friend ordered the pasta with sauce the spaghetti she absolutely loved it. She said you can tell that it was fresh made pasta. My other friend ordered the bone and ribeye with potatoes. She said it was the best ribeye she has had. She said it was so flavorful cooked to perfection and seasoned just right , she had for chocolate olive oil cake, which she absolutely loved. My other friend did not have dessert. When I come back, of course I would come back. I've been there numerous times since they've opened. It's one of my top restaurants to go to. read more

First off get the vodka pasta. It was AMAZING. 10/10. We ordered a lot we had the 4 cheese pizza, the peach and pork pizza the kids cheese pizza, fried calamari, the chicken parm sliders, and the fried mozzarella. All of the food was good but we loved the vodka pasta. Our service was great no complaints. The restaurant itself is very nice on the inside but we opted for outside seating which was fine. Overall 9/10 experience, but don't know if we will return next year. read more

Definitely a 5-star restaurant!!! read more

I called (in a little bit of a panic) begging for a large party reservation for the next day, right in the middle of VB graduation week. Vincent was truly amazing, super accommodating, and friendly! "Let me see what I can do, I really want to help you out" was music to my ears. We really loved the cocktails, appetizers, main courses and desserts! Our waiter Cody was awesome! Super attentive, offered great suggestions (I basically made him pick every course for me LOL) and really ensured we had a great time! From start to finish, I really couldn't recommend Sorella's more! Can't wait to go back!! read more

The food here is so good and very consistent, as I have dined here many times. Service is always good and the food tends to come out impressively quickly. The fritto misto is one of my favorite menu items - perfectly fried, very light and crispy batter, well seasoned. All of the pastas I've tried have been delicious. Other things are good too. Highly recommend! read more

I know that if they used Actual Pasta and Way better sauce this place would be awesome. The inside is super cosy and pretty. But the food needs help. The staff is awesome! Thank you guys anyway! read more

Great happy hour! But busy, don't go if you don't have a reservation as you won't get a table.

I've heard nothing but great things about Sorella's so I decided to stop in on a Tuesday evening to dine in. Being that it was a weekday, there was no wait at all and I was seated right away. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and had a very modern and chic flair to it. Our server quickly greeted us and was very friendly. She informed us of the specials for the week, which were a few pasta and pizza dishes that sounded amazing. After looking over the menu (and having to Google some of the items lol), we started with the Fritto Misto which was fried shrimp and calamari. The seafood tasted very fresh and was delicious with the lemon aoli. For the entree, I decided on the Mafaldine, which was served with a spicy, pork ragu sauce. After taking a few bites, I felt like it was missing some flavor and it wasn't spicy at all to me. The server did provide fresh, Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes which helped a bit but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the dish. A friend of mine ordered the Roasted Halibut which sat on top of creamy polenta and red sauce with an arugula salad topping. It was absolutely amazing and everything paired very well together! The cannolis were presented so beautifully and tasted pretty good as well. Overall, I had a great experience at Sorella's. I love that they have a large bar area for those that want to come in for a quick bite to eat and some drinks. The server was super nice and I love all of the food options they provide. I look forward to trying another dish when I return. P.S. There is a parking garage right behind the restaurant on 32nd St. that has 2-Hour parking for those that can't find parking on the street! :) read more

First of all, we loved the valet parking and not having to hunt for a place to park. The restaurant was lovely, upscale but not stuffy. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. His recommendation for the Conchiglie was spot on. It was rich and meaty with soft pasta. Others at the table had the chicken Marsala, salmon Florentine, and Ciopponi. All very good. All the staff were attentive and kudos to whoever made my limoncello spritzer. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delicious and relaxed dinner. read more

I enjoyed my quiet girls night dinner here last week. I've heard mixed reviews since this spot opened up but enjoyed it and plan to come back with my husband for a Happy Hour in a few weeks. It's large inside - very large - with tons of seating and great decor and table settings. Our waitress was very good at answering all our questions on the menu. My friend has a Soy food allergy and she easily navigated that. We went with meatballs and minestrone to start. Both delicious. I really loved the minestrone soup - very hearty and a nice sized serving when paired with their delicious fresh bread and dipping oils. For entrees - my friend ordered the Paccheri. Hers was a large noodle almost like Penne with mushrooms, roast garlic, black truffles and peas. I had the Tagliatelle Nero which consisted of lobster, uni sauce, smoked sausage, tomato, bread crumbs. My only complaint was I expected legit sausage and this was more like a sausage link cut into tiny pieces. I added 4 shrimp at $2 each - large size and delicious. They charge by the shrimp to add protein. I actually kind'a liked that. I didn't try my friend's dish but intend to order next time - it looked delicious and I love mushrooms. Their pasta bar is very nice and hopefully we can sit there next time and watch the action. I tried the tiramisu for dessert - was a bit hesitant due to the previous reviewers but they must've taken that into account bc this one was nice and coffee-flavored and a very generous portion served in a beautiful mini trifle bowl for about $10. Loved the pasta wallpaper in the restrooms - cute. All staff were friendly. A+ read more

We dined here with a group of 6 on a Saturday evening. We made reservations via Open Table. The hostess was friendly upon our arrival and seated us at a booth immediately. Our waitress was very engaging and took great time with our table even though you could tell she was busy. She even had the manager come over to help further describe a wine for us. She made great suggestions and recommendations. We had a bottle of white wine and a red. Both were great selections based on her help. For appetizers we had the crispy Brussel sprouts and two of Tuna Crudo. Both were very good and flavorful. The tuna had a tiny bit of basil and chili that gave it a nice taste. Appetizers arrived quickly. Our entree selections also came quickly. I had the roasted Halibut which was cooked just right and sat atop a large portion of polenta. Part of it had a tomato sauce and the other side of the dish had an arugula, olive and cucumber combination. It was sized generously. My husband had the Linguine Con Vongole which is the linguine with clams. He devoured it so it's safe to say he happily enjoyed his entree. For dessert we shared the Spumoni Semifreddo and the Tiramisu. Both were plentiful and a nice was to end the meal. read more

Great atmosphere- very nostalgic experience missing family in Italy - food was very comparable to the delicious flavors found in Italy! We had a few specials - tuna crudo was on point. The ravioli- and the two other pasta dishes we ate were incredible. Not heavy - very flavorful and well balanced. Portions were terrific- not unimaginably huge or small- great filling amount. The best limoncello ice cream- probably since we were in Amalfi. Definitely coming back - maybe next time instead of the pasta bar we will get a seat at a table! Service was great. read more

I couldn't wait to try this new Italian restaurant out! Stopped in on Friday night with my best friend and we were absolutely impressed: the decor was modern and warm, the staff was very friendly and the service was awesome. We both opted for pizza and sparkling wine, a great suggestion from our server. Everything was absolutely amazing. Our server was attentive and we never had to ask for refills. We ended our night sharing a slice of Chocolate olive oil cake. If you're looking for a great dining experience whether it's from a girls night out, birthday party or date night, check out Sorella's! A few tips: * Since this is a new restaurant, I highly suggest making a reservation on Open Table. We made one and had no problem getting a table when we arrived. * There isn't a set dress code so jeans are appropriate for a cozy dining experience! * Parking is available on the street in front of the restaurant but it is limited. There is a parking lot behind the shopping center across the street and a garage available. read more

What a great place to have dinner with friends. The restaurant boasts great ambiance & decor inside with comfortable and intimate seating. Our server was very nice and witty and able to throw some funny jabs back at our party who liked to tease a bit...! The host of our party likes to buy just about every appetizer and dessert imaginable every time we eat together so we got to experience it all...! I was barely able to get through the huge portion of Chicken Parmesan and he orders every single dessert on the menu...! OMG! Well. I tried a few bites of most things but had to throw in the towel...! Savages! The only reason for a reduced star is the cocktails take 20 minutes or more to get to table once ordered. Anyway, overall, it's a great restaurant with great service and wonderful food! If at VA Beach, check it out! read more

Back for a second visit. Clifford, the bartender, was wonderful again. The arancini was delicious. The pizza was okay. I was anticipating it to be as good as the same flavor of the bruschetta, but it was missing something. Maybe pine nuts? Everything else. 5/5. Clean. Quick. Attentive. read more

We stopped here on Sunday afternoon and was very impressed with their food. We started with Panzanella. A delightful salad of heirloom tomatoes , cucumbers , fresh mozzarella, lightly toasted ciabatta croutons in a red wine vinaigrette. The Bruschetta, a full length cut of focaccia bread topped with ricotta cheese, fig jam, pesto, prosciutto and pistachios. Looked spectacular and tasted likewise. . The first was "Bucatini". A thick homemade spaghetti in butter sauce with Sea salt and black pepper very tasty, and "Orecchiette " ground Italian sausage, and Calabrian chili's in homemade cupped pasta with Rapini and roasted garlic. We couldn't resist the dessert that Cindy, our waitress recommended. "Spumoni Semifreddo". This consisted of Strawberry gelato with hazelnuts, pistachios and black cherries in case them a chocolate shell with toasted pistachios on top. A burst of deliciousness and every bite. This restaurant is located about three blocks off Atlantic Ave. in the boardwalk district. (we found most of the restaurants we ate at along the boardwalk to be mediocre and overpriced.). Sorella's Tasted best was very nice and less expensive very clean and great service. And if you're lucky you can watch them make the pasta. read more

The newest addition to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and an opening that I have been extremely excited about. The news about Sorella's opening was very vocal on social media over the past many months and led to lots of buzz and impatient waiting on my end. Italian food is one of my favorite cuisines and their sneak peeks always looked and sounded incredible. Fast forward to today - it's their first week being open and there seems to be lots of people checking them out with really high hopes. I think the beauty of social media is shown there, but can also give unrealistic expectations of what you're going to get at a BRAND NEW restaurant. With that being said, I walked in for lunch yesterday (Saturday) with reservations that we made online and although our hopes were high, we also knew that there would probably be some first-week "kinks" and "jitters" to work out. Right away, we were greeted by very welcoming hostesses who brought us to our table. Our server, Trevor, was insanely nice and helpful. He had a few big parties and definitely had his hands full, but made sure to keep a good eye on us. It was obvious to us that although he was busy, he had been trained well on the menu and was handling the stress of the new and busy restaurant very well. Throughout the meal, he gave many amazing recommendations from the menu and conversed with us. They have an extensive menu, for both drinks and food. So many things sounded incredible and it was truly hard to choose what to order. My main recommendation is that you absolutely do NOT skip the Bruschetta appetizer. You actually should order multiple. What we ordered: *Bruschetta - 10/10 I will be coming back for this and will be ordering one strictly for myself. A very unique combination on gorgeous ciabatta. It was incredible! *Paccheri - 10/10 Funghi Misti, truffle, peas and garlic. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the creamy, savory sauce was decadent. I didn't miss a meaty component at all. *Conchigliono - 8/10 Crab stuffed shells with ricotta, spinach and prosciutto. Also delicious, but we all wished it had a cream sauce rather than a red sauce. It was still good, just not as memorable as the other dishes. *Tiramisu - 9.5/10 One of my all-time favorite desserts and there's is great. Loved the presentation and the soaked lady fingers. Fantastic dessert! *Cannolis - 7/10 Were they good? Yes. But I'm a cannoli snob. I go to Boston's North End many times a year strictly for cannolis and these just didn't quite live up to my personal expectation. Would I still order them again? Yeah, probably. Overall, fantastic meal and I cannot WAIT to come again and try more of their menu! read more

I was very excited to check this restaurant out as my husband and I are both huge fans of the Atlantic and once tried their special lamb ragu bolognese and were thoroughly impressed! Upon entering we were greeted by a friendly host and our first site was a beautiful pasta bar. It really gives that Italian feel and I'd love to come back and sit there and watch them make fresh pasta as we dine. However, this time we chose to sit at the regular bar, especially since it was our first time in! The bartenders were all very nice and did a wonderful job answering all of our questions and making appropriate recommendations to make our experience exactly what we were looking for. Most of their menu is made in smaller portions, including their pasta so it is perfect to order several small plates to share. My husband and I started with an Aperol Spritz and a Hugo Spritz. As a huge Aperol Spritz fan, I was so excited to see that they had several Spritzes to choose from and their own little menu. Both of the Spritzes we tried were delicious and hefty in size! I thought the prices were very reasonable all things considered. For lunch, we shared Risotto, Bruschetta, and Crispy Mozzarella. One thing is for sure-- they're not shy about using salt! All of the small plates were delicious, especially the Risotto and Bruschetta, both of which we would order again. I wasn't very impressed with the Mozzarella Bites and my husband and I agreed that they really could've used a little bit longer in the fryer because the cheese inside wasn't melted like you would've hoped. It was warm, but still very solid. For dessert, we tried some Zeppoles and they were delightful! I wouldn't say that they are a must have for us next time, but we did enjoy them. They serve Espresso Martinis from the tap, which I didn't enjoy as much. It tasted slightly artificially flavored and lacked the aromas and flavors of fresh espresso. However, the bartender recommended a delightful Spanish cocktail called a Carajillo (pictured) which is FRESH espresso, vanilla liqueur, and an orange swath. It was divine! All in all, we enjoyed our experience at Sorellas and look forward to returning to try some of their other offerings including their fresh pasta and pizzas! read more

I came here on a date, and really enjoyed it. The restaurant offers complimentary Valet(on Arctic between Laskin and 32nd). We were seated right away, and my server was friendly and attentive. I was there during happy hour (on a Saturday), and we shared the bruschetta, cacio e pepe (one of my faves), and The Sorella pizza, and cannoli for dessert. To drink we had peach Bellinis, and for the second round I had a Negroni, and my date had a limoncello spritz. Very Italian! I will definitely be back. Looking forward to trying the meatballs next time. read more

While in VA Beach for work I had some great Italian food for dinner one evening, which made me want to come here for a second night of Italian food. This is a nice Italian restaurant set in a plaza, but which still offers a cozy atmosphere. The service was great and the menu is decent. They have a nice, large wine list and they have cocktails as well. The food I had was nice, flavors were decent. I tried their spaghetti, as I wanted to try their traditional red sauce, it was nice. Nothing spectacular, but nice. Ceasar salad was nice, but their spumoni was amazing! Definitely save room for dessert and get the spumoni! read more
