We usually visit when family is in town and had Thanksgiving dinner here last year. Service is wonderful, the space is very nice, food is delicious. I have sampled a little of this & that when different people order different things and we all try them. The gnocchi is wonderful. I would like to highlight the Thanksgiving dinner though. They have a set menu and they give you a little of everything. There was plenty of food for the whole table and everything was exceptional. It was wonderful and one of the best meals we have had in Charleston. Have a meal here at least once. I promise you won't regret it. read more

Sorelle is fine dining and Michelin rated for a reason. I came with friends for my birthday dinner: wow! The whole place is stunning. The building has an extensive history, even once serving as a Hebrew orphanage, to now being a beautiful restaurant. I love how the architects and interior design highlight the character of the building! The wallpaper on the main dining room on the second floor is truly gorgeous! For cocktails, we tried many! I got the almond sour (delicious) and my friends were pleasantly surprised they serve decaffeinated espresso martinis. My sister got a spritz, which she also enjoyed. I was also touched that the culinary team was kind enough to sign a birthday card for me. Our table also received complimentary cacio e pepe popcorn to snack on--yum! For appetizers, we got the tuna tar tar (Crudo di Tonno), the strawberry caprese salad, and some shrimp--all so delicious, that they FLEW off the plate! For mains, I got the Rotolo al Forno, which was VERY tasty. My friends got the chicken milanese, the Sorelle spaghetti, and the sworfish. For side dishes, we also got the meatball with polenta and some potatoes. For dessert, I got a complimentary birthday cannoli with a candle and the Limone (a berry and cream-filled dessert in the form of a lemon!) What. A. Meal!!! The food and the locale are just stunning. But of course, not cheap. As a whole, we paid a whopping $399.75 without tip! Was it worth it for a feast of glamour? I'd say so--but definitely not an every day treat unless you have the budget! Also, Lucy was our server and was exceptionally sweet and patient! read more

We were visiting and our foodie friends made reservations at Sorelle. We had really enjoyable experience overall. The restaurant is beautifully designed with an elegant atmosphere that still feels warm and inviting. The almond sour was excellent -- a delicious cocktail but a little sweet. The house bread was also a standout. We loved the apertivo plate for sharing. The Wagyu pizza was unique and flavorful. The Wagyu was a Wagyu carpaccio(I must have missed that part). The fresh pasta dishes were the stars for us, especially the pappardelle with braised rabbit and the "pillows of gold," which were rich, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Dessert was a little more mixed. The vanilla bean donut dessert was just okay. The olive oil cake was moist. Beautifully designed space, thoughtful menu, and definitely worth visiting in Charleston. read more

My friend and I just recently ate at Sorelle, we were visiting from SoCal. The drinks were amazing but the food was absolutely delicious. The ragu was hands down the best pasta I have ever had...better than what I ate in Florence, Italy and that was incredible. The stone fruit caprese was also refreshing and good. We got lucky to grab a couple of bar seats because there were no reservations available, we are happy we got to eat at Sorelle. read more

We had an amazing dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Everyone we interacted with was incredible - especially Virgil our server. We really appreciated the complimentary Prosecco and tasty baked goods. Everything we ate was outstanding and beyond delicious. The bread service lived up to the advanced praise we read, and the caprese salad with peaches was a perfect way to pave the way for our mains. The Rigatoni Frutti da Mare and the Tajarin al Ragu were both exceptional. The homemade pastas had that perfect texture and "tooth." The delicious chunks of seafood in the lobster brodo coated the tubes a goodness perfectly. And the bolognese tasted like it had been simmering for hours, developing the flavors to perfection. We ended with the Zeppole e Caffe, having to show restraint to not lick the bowl. An absolutely amazing experience, top to bottom. read more

We had the best date night at Sorelle on Broad! From the moment we checked in with the hostess to our server, the staff was amazing, funny, and made the whole experience refreshing and exciting. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We had a 9:30 pm reservation and I was a little worried about parking, but the nearby parking garage was an easy walk and felt safe both ways. I was also concerned about their 10 pm closing time, but the staff reassured us they stay open until everyone is taken care of, served, and comfortably finished. read more

We had a delicious meal here. Really nice setting and great option for celebrations. The bread, tuna crudo, zucchini parmesan, burrata pizzette, sorelle spaghetti, swordfish, flounder, and potatoes were all great. It's rare to order so many dishes and have them all hit. I unfortunately forgot our waitress' name, but she was great as well. read more

Sorelle was hands down one of the best restaurants we've been to--not just in Charleston, but anywhere. Everything we ordered was exceptional. The homemade pasta was fresh and perfectly prepared, the appetizers were outstanding, and the cocktails were delicious, refreshing, and complemented the meal beautifully. Our favorite dish was the chicken Milanese, which was absolutely incredible and something we'd 100% order again. Our server was enthusiastic, attentive, and genuinely seemed excited to make sure we had a great meal. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. This is a restaurant we'll be recommending to anyone visiting Charleston, and we can't wait to come back. read more

Sorelle is my favorite coffee shop in charleston! I stop by every time im in town and treat myself to their special latte of the week! Their pastries are super yummy and the staff is always friendly! I tried the chocolate croissant today and it was super fluffly and rich! The restaurant and cafe are beautiful and I need to come back and try their dinner soon! It is a superrr popular spot so just prepare for a line, but it moves super quick and is 100% worth the wait! read more

Came back to Sorelle for dinner and it completely missed the mark. Our flounder arrived cold, the tuna had zero flavor, and the pasta was... just pasta. Nothing stood out. I also had pretty high expectations for their service, and that fell short too. They were clearly trying to deliver great service, but the execution just wasn't there. There was a lot of miscommunication, our dishes were brought to the table next to us three different times and then handed back when they realized the mistake. On top of that, the manager interrupted our main course to make small talk while I was taking my first bite. I usually appreciate that kind of interaction, but the timing felt off and inauthentic. Overall, you can tell they want to get it right, but it's just... not there. read more

Just ate there for an anniversary with my wife, got food poisoning half way through. It was either the branzino or the drink with egg whites in it. But I was throwing up in their toilet downstairs within 10 minutes of finishing it. Haven't gotten food poisoning in years this is the last place I expected it to happen. And it only cost $350... service was great and the place was awesome but can't get behind spoiled food for 300 bucks... Update: at emergicare rn they have confirmed it is in fact food poisoning. Took some antihistamines and I feel better. So it's gotta be the fish. They didn't keep it to temp. Wouldn't recommend anyone eat the seafood here that was an awful experience. read more

Sorelle was a classy experience from start to finish. My waiter was incredible attentive and did a fantastic job explaining the dishes to me. I ended up getting the arancini and the fungi pizzette. The arancini was a bit too dry for my liking but the pizzette was good! They gave us a complimentary box of croissants to take with us. If you're looking for fine dining in Charleston, you should check out Sorelle! read more

Came here for our one-year anniversary in May, and it was such a memorable experience that I had to come back on Yelp to review it :) When we first arrived at Sorelle, my boyfriend and I were waiting in line to speak to the hostess. A tall man in a grayish-blue suit was already speaking with her, and when he noticed us, he apologized for "being in the way." We assured him it was no problem at all and that we definitely did not mind! And then he left. We didn't think much of it at the time. Fast forward to dinner: we were seated outside on the patio, which was absolutely beautiful. It had this charming old-town feel and was perfect for people watching. I have quite a few food allergies, and I was so grateful that the staff was accommodating and helpful with recommendations. I ended up ordering the Potato Gnocchi (modified to be dairy- and shellfish-free), while my boyfriend had the Tajarin Al Ragu. The gnocchi was hands down the best I've ever had, it was perfect in every way. I may have eaten it a little too quickly, but I have no regrets! The biggest surprise came at the end of the night when we asked for the check. Our waitress told us that our entire dinner had already been covered. My boyfriend and I were stunned, this had never happened to us before. When we asked who it was, she said it was a man in the lobby. Immediately, we looked at each other and said, "Was he in a grayish-blue suit?" She confirmed it was. We were blown away by the generosity of this stranger and wished we could have thanked him. It truly felt like the most beautiful anniversary gift. We will 100% be coming back here the next time we're in Charleston! read more

The food was really good! We had the Italian hero and the Caesar sandwich. It was amazing. The Caesar sandwich was a 9/10! The bread was toasted perfectly! The Italian hero was definitely 10/10. Would've liked mayo but I understand those sandwiches don't usually have mayo. The raspberry pastry was 8/10 but the pistachio was 10/10. The weekly matcha was 1000/10. As someone who have never had matcha before, it was phenomenal that I'm literally craving it again as I'm writing this review!! The service was amazing!! They were so nice and so helpful. I spoke to them for a while and they recommended items to me and we spoke about just random things. The place itself was so nice, they have a nice seating area outside and the inside is so beautiful!! Definitely give it a try!! read more

My husband and I and another couple went to Sorelle. We were really looking forward to it. It had been described to us as a fine dining restaurant. That is simply not the case. Shorts, tee shirts and flip flops are not fine dining apparel. The service was just okay. Not great not awful. I was unimpressed with the food. I had spaghetti with Bolognese. Very tiny portion served in a bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese on it and sprinkled with deep fried ( almost burnt) zucchini chips. My husband's dinner, lasagna roll ups was served on a metal tray. The food presentation was not what you would expect at a fine dining restaurant. I will admit, the place is lovely. The decor is awesome but I doubt we will go back. read more

Best Italian spot I have ever been to. With a unique menu, every dish is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. We had a large group for a bachelorette party, and they provided a private room with helpful and friendly service. We had people in our party who are gluten free and vegan, and everyone had a meal to enjoy! The restaurant itself is beautiful and classy. Every single person said their meal was the best. My baked rigatoni was delicious. After tasting around, we all agreed the TAJARIN AL RAGÙ was the best pasta on the menu. read more

Eagerly awaited our brunch reservations on a Sunday ! We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation to a huge line (for the coffee shop)- which proved extremely confusing to us and those waiting. There wasn't a clear hostess stand due to the amount of people so we needed to cut into a line which seemed to annoy those waiting for coffee. Unfortunate but understandable. The hostesses seemed a bit overwhelmed as well once we did reach them so the start of the reservation was a bit stressful - but not off putting. We were taken up stairs and the restaurant was absolutely stunning. Our server was so sweet and helpful- took our drink orders and patiently answered our questions. We decided to share some options and went with the chicken, a pizza and the spaghetti. All were wonderful- though we did find it odd that the chicken was served alone. We joked we had our own version of chicken parm and truly it paired wonderfully! The drink prices for the sizes were a little disappointing, which in combination with the check in difficulty deleted one star. Would definitely recommend! read more

Sorrelle! Sorelle! Nothing but great things to say! This was my first time going to a Michelin-starred place in the states and they do deserve it! The food was amazing!

I cannot express how much we enjoyed this experience at Sorelle. It was a year ago that I came but only had the caviar service and didn't try any of the entrees. The 3 of us came for dinner that night and it was nothing short of a wonderful time. Their sommelier Angel who is absolutely charming, friendly and knowledgeable about their wine program decanted a bottle we brought and even share some very special Syrah with us after knowing we're wine lovers ourselves. Caitlyn our server who we got to know throughout the night was amazing. She made suggestions and gave us options for my husband who has celiac and we were able to pick a handful of dishes to try. The service was fluid, with all hands on deck with the food runners and management team. Whoever came up with the Negroni mignonette is a genius because it was so good with the oysters. They brought us out this beautiful baked bread along with a gluten free option for my husband which was so thoughtful. We had the zucchini layered lasagna that was colorful and beautiful. We opted for the GF options on the bolognese and classic Pomodoro red sauce. That bolognese had this slight tanginess to it that made it so enjoyable for me. The suckling pig rotolo was freaking ridiculous and I've never had anything like it. The flavors were rich and powerful, the crispy top edge of the rolled pasta and each spoonful was heavenly. They were on top of the table maintenance with replacing and replenishing our plates and utensils. Our last course we shared the bone in pork chop. Ugh it was so juicy and delicious. The next day I crushed what was left on the bone because I don't waste anything. When I thought it couldn't get better we ended on dessert. This was not your average affogato but perhaps one of the best interpretations of it. One of the managers came by and presented it to us and poured the hot espresso over what was like chocolate shell that melted into the gelato. I mean it was so decadent and perfectly executed. Our server Caitlyn surprised us with also giving us the Zeppole (doughnuts) OMG those were like pillows that you dipped in this delicious creamy sauce that is unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team that made our experience so memorable. read more

We were given a choice of 5pm or 8:15pm reservation. We took the 8:15 for 5 people. We arrived on time but had to wait a very long. Around 8:35 they offered Prosecco to our group, 4 accepted. We continued to wait for an hour but in the end, they were very apologetic and professional and made up for it. The arancini were the best I've ever had in the US. Crazy authentic. A creamy hit. OMG- highly recommend!! We had several pizzas. It would be had to say which was best. Loved the asparagus and mushroom. The one topped with prosciutto was authentic. All were delicious. My only gripe was that there were five of us and each pizza was cut into four pieces. I am happy to report no fights broke out! Bread was amazing - it had sesame seeds on top with a very fluffy middle. It was served with olive oil. The warm olives as appetizers were tasty. But I had to pace myself! No room for more than one! The octopus with the chic peas was amazing!!! This dish was incredible. I would highly recommend this dish as well. We ordered two pasta dishes to share. The pillows of gold lived up to the hype. I was pleasantly surprised. Wow. Drops of 25 yr balsamic drizzle. The pistachio pesto dish was delicious as well. Soft shell Crab and chicken cutlet were good. I think the pastas were the star of the show. And that says something! Desserts light and delicious but I didn't eat much since I was stuffed by this time. Ambiance upstairs was amazing. I loved the wall paper like Euclid trees - were relaxing. Virgil our server had the patience of a saint. Service was excellent and a team sport. In summary this was truly Italian food, not Italian American food. Next time I would get the arancini, octopus and pillows of gold. But I would again to hope to go with a large group to taste everything :) read more

In fairness, we never got to eat here. We walked up and got our names on the list just before 8, maybe 7:45. They told us there was only one name ahead of ours and it would maybe be an hour. We didn't get a text that our table was ready FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS. I'm sorry but no. One name ahead of us? And the restaurant is not small. I called to inquire earlier in the day if it was busy and it was so awkward they refused to tell me they said we had to walk in to find out. All staff we talked to (twice on the phone and all the host staff) were a bit rude. Like pretentious vibes like they were something special and we should be lucky to have their attention for a fleeting moment. Absolute lack of customer service. No thanks. They've got some work to do. read more

Very disappointing after so much build up to get a reservation. The octopus appetizer was rustic, and good, nothing special. I ordered a glass of Billecarte rose' and was a poured a glass without being offered a taste first (at $40) so I found that less than satisfactory. The spaghetti I ordered was first served before I had placed an order for my next glass of wine, changing to red, and someone noticed me looking closely at the plate (not eating because I was waiting to order wine) and I saw a fiber in the crunchy zucchini on top. That plate was taken away with a promise for a new plate with my wine. My new plate was cold, undercooked spaghetti and one bite was enough to send it back, with some pasta still stuck to my teeth. I don't know how that could be served and I gave up there. Still having my glass of my glass of Nebbiolo, I ordered some arancini to go with it, graciously served on the house and brought out quickly. They were fine, but a bit lacking in flavor. I didn't really have dinner but that was my choice after not getting an edible plate of pasta to begin. Service was good, but my table was cleared for crumbs twice, once when there weren't any. My silverware was replaced and then someone tried to replace it again. When I wasn't happy with my pasta entree no one was around to see how I liked it. I was not happy with this dinner at all and I noticed the woman at the table next to me barely ate half of her spaghetti but I didn't hear any wait staff commenting on it. read more

I had been dying to try Sorelle for a while and it did not disappoint! We went twice on our trip in Charleston and the hype is worth it. First off, it's adorable. The sandwiches are so yummy, I got the Italian Hero and the spicy chicken Caesar sandwich. The Italian hero was my favorite one, literally so delicious. We also got some drinks which are picture perfect and yummy. I like my pastry but it had a little too much bread for my liking. Loveee this spot, be prepared though because it's crowded.

First of all - Huge props to our server Virgil, a king among men! We had a reservation for 7:30, I think, and ended up waiting just over an hour to be seated. One of my friends was pretty irritated, but once we were finally seated, the staff really made up for it. Virgil told us they'd be sending out some complimentary items to apologize for the delay, and he wasn't kidding. We got free pizzas, olives, bread, octopus, and a whole slew of other small plates. Everything was delicious. My personal favorite was the dish called Pillows of Gold, which absolutely lived up to the name. There were five of us, and we ordered everything family style to share, which was a great way to try a little of everything. The only letdown was the main entrees. One was a crispy milanese that unfortunately got completely soggy from a pile of wet vegetables they placed on top. Total texture sabotage. The dining room where we were seated upstairs was gorgeous, but kinda a drag for us small bladdered ladies as you had to take an elevator up or down one floor to use the facilities. The night ended on a high note. Virgil brought each of us a mini bottle of orangecello to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. And the final bill? Just $300 before tip for five people who left completely stuffed. That really shows how much they comped to make things right. read more

I came here for the Thursday pizza night and it was very busy. Our waitress was a sweetheart and attentive! We ordered the pizza special for the night (some kind of meatball pizza) and a salad to share. I would say the food is tasty but the size of the pizza is quite small to be $20 in my opinion. Would have rather gotten a pizza from the normal menu or another entree. Nice to try out the pizza night though! Great place for a date or girls night. read more
