    Tuna crudo
    Ryan C.

    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.

    Chocolate croissant

    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!

    Italian hero
    Ashley T.

    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!!

    me and the food :)

    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!

    Dining Room
    Taylor R.

    Berk was fantastic! Took the time to walk us through the menu and recommend his favorites as it was our first time. Dining room upstairs is wonderful and the seating is so comfortable. I would recommend every dish we got that evening, but my two favorite were the Zucca Parmigiana and the Carpaccio Pizzette. We definitely over ordered but the service was paced and coursed fantastically thanks to Berk. Both cocktails I tried that evening were excellent, my favorite was the Galileo Gaze but the La Befana was the perfect compliment to our first course. Over all a very well thought out experience from the interior design details referencing each other throughout the property to the fact that there is no such thing as a bad order there. Well worth it.

    Shrimp pasta that isn't on the menu!!!
    April P.

    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 was craving a shrimp pasta so I asked the server about adding shrimp to something, she then asked the chef and they whipped me up and amazing garlic, lemon pasta!!!! It's a beautiful restaurant but watch your step on the way out!!! It's now my favorite restaurant in Charleston because of the service and the experience! If I could do 10 stars, I would!!!

    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.

    Our coffees were amazing! 10/10 for their seasonal drinks, we always love to try the seasonal/daily specials. It was slightly chaotic to wait in line, but the line was well worth it. Perfect location right next to King Street, so it's a perfect pit stop during a shopping day

    Scarlett H.

    Awesome spot! The specialty coffees that you see on Tiktok are only in the morning, however they were nice enough to make a mocha latte. Great environment throughout the whole place, definitely want to come try dinner next!

    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!

    Table bread + broccolini
    Katie F.

    The food here was delicious! Everything we got was amazing and the service was top tier. The only downside we had was that we were sandwiched between two other small tables with loud people so we were a little uncomfortable. However, I would still recommend to someone for a special night dinner.

    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.

    Is wine corkage allowed and if so how much per bottle?

    Yes $45 as of now I believe, just depends on how big the bottles and how much you bring.

    How much on average per plate?

    I don’t know exact average but would speculate $30 ish. My friend and i had the sourdough trio, split an appetizer, and one pasta each. She had a glass of wine. Bill was $50 something each- (we split down the middle. With a bottle of wine and an… Read more

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.

We were craving espresso martinis, and they quickly made a couple for us. Nice touch -- the glasses were chilled, which always makes a difference. That said, we do think the martinis may have been missing the classic foam "bubble" and espresso bean garnish. Honestly though, since they were closing and still accommodated us, we were just grateful they made them at all. If it had been mentioned that they'd be quick, simplified versions due to closing, we would've completely understood -- just something small for expectation-setting. Now let's talk about the coconut cake -- absolutely amazing. It's $17 for a slice, but the portion is HUGE. Easily shareable, and we still had to take some to-go. Super moist, flavorful, and worth every bite if you're a coconut fan. Also worth noting: the outdoor patio is pet-friendly, which is always a big plus for us. Great spot to stop with your pup while enjoying dessert or a cocktail. Overall, a positive experience -- especially thanks to the staff's hospitality at closing time. We'd definitely come back (earlier next time!) to enjoy the full experience.

I paired it with an espresso martini, which paired well with the dessert. I was disappointed that it wasn't served with their famous smoke bubble. The overall experience was just okay. Sitting at the bar was convenient, but the service felt pretty standard and the interior didn't really stand out or add much to the vibe. It's definitely more about the cake than the atmosphere here.

Nice list of 3 mocktails so even if not consuming alcohol one can look to play the part at the table and enjoy the flavor notes of a well made cocktail. The first meal we had was a bit of a work/get together meal. We ordered an assortment of items off of the menu and created a more tapas menu. The charcuterie board we picked the cheeses for and it was lovely. All as expected and quite surprised to find a cheddar I enjoyed. Came with some grapes, figs, nuts, honey and I think mustard. Glazed carrots were phenomenal. Heartily enjoyed the beet salad and thought the presentation was quite pretty. Lamb lettuce wraps are alright. Not my favorite of all the dishes served but delivered as promised, nicely cooked and presented. Spouse really liked the lamb wraps and were a stand out dish to them. Meatballs are excellent truly great texture and flavor. Escargot was a fun take on a classic dish. Finished with a unique strudel in its presentation it was quite pleasant. Spouse liked the peanut butter chocolate dessert. For brunch, I had the carrot ginger soup. Which I must say was a total delight. The soup had the hallmark texture and base flavor of the carrot ginger but it had a beautiful breath of savory and some heat seasoning wise to it. It was quite an elevated soup and heartily enjoyed! I followed the carrot soup with a French toast. I am all for softly scrambled eggs but the French toast was a touch undercooked. (I did not let the restaurant know or give them the chance to make right. I regularly eat soft boiled eggs and soft scrambled so I felt comfortable with consuming them.) Strawberries were ripe and tasty. The whipped cream was gorgeous in thickness and flavor. One in law had the caesar salad with croutons and grilled chicken. Their bowl was left clean so while they are not the talkative of sorts they did seem to enjoy it. Ordered a baguette with butter. Unfortunately the butter never made it to the table but the baguette was enjoyed. Spouse had the Azur burger with the side of tapas style potatoes. All was cooked properly to temperature and texture. Flavor and taste as promised. Wasn't their favorite dish at Azur as we had tried so many lovely dishes a few evenings before. But it did deliver on what was represented in the menu.
