Went to Sorelle with a few friends and the food was excellent, Josh took great care of us, walked us through the menu with enthusiasm, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Great service on top of great food. Will definitely be back. read more

Sorelle has become one of our go to casual and fast restaurants. The food is very good, the pastries are perfect, and we haven't encountered anything other than friendly service. When you enter the restaurant/cafe, you're greeted with a long counter/case that displays the pastry/coffee bar offerings to the left. To the right side, the case showcases all the entrees available for the day. You order at the counter, then you'll get a table number and the food is delivered table side and they bus your tables. We've tried a few different pasta dishes and sandwiches on our trips to Sorelle, all have been very tasty and a good size portion. We typically order coffees and pastries to go after each meal. The take away pastries and desserts and the perfect way to finish the meal. They also have gelato that can be ordered to eat in or take out. We're due for our next visit to Sorelle! read more

Update after 9 months: it's still our regular to-go place but the cashier service is getting worse and worse. They were super busy when just opened up but service was fast and accurate. It seems like they hired more people and the same change staff often. Cashier is always taking forever to take orders. They are always confused with what's going on especially for takeout orders. This place is so special for us and we really hope they can recognize the problem and frustration they have caused. read more

took my wife here for Mother's Day. She grew up in Italy so we were excited. Of course with American Italian we never expect it to taste authentic, but it was adjacent to the real thing. Most every dish was very dry or doughy. The cannoli's were fried too hard almost like egg rolls. We didn't realize till we got home that our daughter's dessert was missing after verifying three times with the staff what we ordered. If you're looking for Italian food skip this place. *** Almost forgot. Get rid of the young kids that are servers. They have no idea what they're doing. They seem very confused. Food was not brought out in a timely manner and Luke warm when we received it. Also re organize how you check out it can be very confusing with the impatient and hot headed customers that Dine there. read more

Why does Long Grove always feel like some magical far away place when it's really much closer to me than most places I go? It's probably because of spots like this. When my yelp friends check-in places I always take a peek and add the interesting stuff to my massive and unorganized list of anything and everything I could ever want to try... this place popped up a few times, and I do love good pastries, so I had to make a trip. I say pastries but what really sold me was the pizza slice a buddy got, a savory excuse always helps. I got there before the dinner rush. I know that because it was calm when I got in line, though the line was full. When I left the place was crowded. There are actually 2 lines. One for savory and one for sweet. So like I said, I was here for that pizza slice... and I got it. I'm not sure if they make more throughout the day but there were just a few slices left that I could see. Score! But I do want to say that the more filling pasta dishes and such look AMAZING. I saw gorgonzola garlic bread and had to try that as well... and an arancini. Everything really looked so good, I wanted it all. It's a good thing I love bread because I ate a lot of it here! Great flavor and texture on the garlic bread, I love the little funk from the cheese. Arancini was fried up nicely and didn't retain excess oil. The slice is really good. It's a fair warning that it's about 90% bread, but I understand they make their own dough here and it shows. The crust is so crispy and airy, it's a nice experience. Next up, dessert. I grabbed a Nutella croissant and some gelato, both delicious! The gelato was rich and creamy. The croissant, which they fill to order with your choice of flavors, is another flex on how good their dough and bread baking skills are. Perfect texture, no notes. Would and will eat again. Amazing atmosphere that feels like a quick vacation, and outdoor tables perfect for the warm season. Friendly and inviting staff as well, they tried to sell me on the pear flavor gelato. Maybe next time. This is a not so hidden gem of a spot and a must try for bread lovers! I'll be back soon for pasta and more! read more

The place was so cute. A unique concept for US but not for Italy. Dishes on display, pick you items, pay and have them delivered to table. Host Josh was very helpful and shared the bestselling dishes. We enjoyed the nonnas lasagna, arancini- mushroom, pear and arugula salad and chicken Marsala. The gelato we had, vanilla and caramel were creamy and delicious. read more

A taste of Italy right in our backyard! Such a cute place, we came by for dinner one night and didn't know what to expect. When you walk in, there's a case for pastries and coffees, and you walk straight for all the entrees. You order first, and they'll bring the food out to you. We couldn't decide between a few things before we ended up with the osso Buco and the nonna's lasagna. The osso buco was delish, it did take a little while to come out but the flavors were great. The risotto was a tad underdone, but again the flavors were SO good. The lasagna needed something for a little crunch, but overall the flavors were fine. We also were recommended the garlic bread, I didn't really taste the garlic, and the Gorgonzola was a bit over powering for the pieces of toast but a great app to share. We tried a few different Italian drinks, I wanted to try the peach tea but they were sold out. Next time! We wrapped up our meal we got some gelato. We did a mix of half raspberry and half vanilla. That vanilla gelato was so good I'm still thinking about it. Overall we had a great time, parking was easy, staff was great, and food was good. read more

Sorelle is a nice eatery, bakery, and café in Long Grove. My husband and I came to Sorelle for dessert after having lunch. I was amazed at the selection of food, drinks, and dessert available. We got the chocolate gelato, coffee, hot chocolate, tiramisu, and a pastry. Everything was really good. It tasted fresh and was made with high quality ingredients. The atmosphere is as nice as the food. It is decorated really nicely. It feels like you're in Italy. I highly recommend Sorelle! read more

I don't know how we lived just a few miles away for years, and didn't know about this place. We have been there now in back to back weeks and are just blown away by the quality and flavors. What an absolute gem of a place. Yes, the set up and the ordering is a bit clunky, but just a bit of patience and you will be rewarded by some of the best Italian food in the north suburbs. Everything we have eaten there now has been amazing and we will definitely be back over and over again. The Tuscan pasta, one of the best pasta dishes I have had in years. read more

Sorelle is a fantastic addition to the area. It's half high-end Italian deli counter, half stylish cafe dining space I stopped in for lunch and had a great panini with roasted red peppers and fresh greens on some of the best focaccia/ciabatta bread I've had in a while. Ended the meal with a pistachio cannoli that was spectacular. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and inviting, and the service behind the counter was super friendly and fast. Highly recommend dropping in whether you want a quick lunch or a nice sit-down meal. read more

Great food, wonderful selection of Italian wine, and exceptional service-we highly recommend Sorelle. A special thank you to Josh, the catering manager, who was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us some great recommendations and went above and beyond to give us ideas for a future catering order. read more

Such a cute restaurant! I really enjoyed the intricate Italian decor, especially the vespas right at the entrance. You are immediately thrusted across the pond following the lemon vines spidering over the ceiling, wine racks along the wall, freshly baked bread/pastries and bold flowers along the arch of the doorway. Every detail enhances the experience of walking the streets of Italy from every sight to every aromatic smell. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our server was very kind and eager to tend to our table. The croissant was buttery and flaky. The cheese melted over the crispy bacon was delicious! I would definitely like to return another time but during lunch hours to try more! read more

This place is so cute and family friendly while still staying a perfect date night spot. The seating inside and outside were plentiful. I really enjoyed how the dishes were in full view while in line to order. You knew exactly what you were getting.

Third times the charm!! Finally found an Italian restaurant that is comparable to the flavors in Italy!! This charming restaurant served us truly delicious comfort food. It was packed but they moved the long line for orders quickly. Unique in a way as the restaurant displays samples of plates from the menu for customers so they know what to order and expect. An excellent idea especially for a visual person like me!!!! An upscale cafeteria style restaurant . Customers choose their own tables and gather their own utensils. There's a water dispenser available to customers as well. The simple but flavorful Pear and Arugala Salad was devine!! I wanted more!! So good!! I had the Fusilli Bolognese. Pasta was al dente and meat sauce was seasoned to perfection!! Just the right serving. So delicious!! What my husband ordered was not what was served. We told our waiter, he apologized, and no further questions asked other than what my husband ordered, which was the Rigatoni alla Genovese and not Spicy Rigatoni. He came back promptly with a smile and delivered the correct order. Great customer service!! I tasted my husband's dish and the meat sauce was excellent. I'll order that next time We also had the Afogato, which was good but wish it was served in a tall cup for such a small size. It was a bit messy too. I tried the Hazelnut gelato and the texture was off. Not creamy at all. Gritty and super sweet!! Will be coming back for more and most definetly worth a try!! read more

Found this cute Italian cafe right off 22. There are plenty of options to pick from- from drinks, to pastries and desserts, to actual meals. You order once you come in, and then sit down and wait for your food. The melanzana panino (eggplant sandwich) was delish. The bread it is on, is so crispy, yet very light and airy. The Roman Square Pizza slices are as big as my toddlers face- and again very light and airy. The gelato is a nice way to end the meal- and I believe the gelato is made small batch, and in house. read more

Sorelle is a charming restaurant. I had the cheese ravioli and my friend had a margarita pizza. We exchanged tastes and we were both impressed with our own and each other's meals.

Sorelle is an exceptional Italian cafe and coffee shop located in Long Grove offering delectable pastries and Sicilian classics with exceptional ambiance, service, and value. Our family came on a Saturday afternoon to a bustling cafe and few empty tables (always a good sign). We ordered the Ham Arancini ($3.50) - a rich, but not heavy ball of cheese and rice decadence. Paired with this was an excellent cannoli ($3.50) - a crispy light shell stuffed with decadent, creamy ricotta and dusted with pistachio. The panna cotta pistachio ($4.00) was similarly delicious, with a caramel and pistachio topping. Light, scrumptious, not heavy. An iced latte ($3.50) rounded things out which was great but not exceptional. A special word must be said for the service. Our Arancini order was forgotten, and after bringing it to the staff's attention, the owner himself made us the delicious dish and delivered it to us personally with an apology. We asked several questions about the restaurant, which we were quite impressed by at this point, and he indulged. Spectacular service. The interior is well decorated and airy, adorned by a Vespa and the food and prices proudly on display. There's ample seating outside by the water making for an excellent ambiance. As noted above, prices are truly excellent for food of this quality; we easily would have paid a few more dollars per item. Excellent value. With unforgettable food, spectacular service, and an amazing ambiance at perfect prices, the Sorelle sisters make an unforgettable Italian cafe. Sorelle is seeped in success and has rightfully earned every bit of it - spettacolare! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 read more

Our first trip to Sorelle's was so wonderful we could not wait to go back. The food, the ambiance, the pastries, and the service were all the best. The arancini were amazzzzzzzzzzing. Check out both locations and treat yourself to a really wonderful experience. Definitely company worthy. I took a friend there for her birthday and she is still talking about the great experience. Lucia in Glenview is a wonder when it comes to making you feel at home and providing the absolute best experience. So glad we found this place. Sandra R. read more

What an amazing place, the inside decor is very relaxing. The cafe latte and cappuccino were good but my favorite was their lemon ricotta cookies. Instantly brought me back to my early childhood, at family parties. Next time we will be going it may be over the lunch hour, that food selection looks fantastic and right up my alley (authenticate, refreshing Italian meals). Service was quick, accommodating and allowed you to just "relax". That made the experience all the better. read more

Darling Italian cafe! You can drop in n order at the counter or be seated at the restaurant side. Friendly service but was crowded the afternoon we stopped in. I suspect it's frequently crowded. Good food but not exactly authentic Italian. Outdoor seating is delightful on a nice afternoon. The gelato is the best! We tried lemon and a chocolate, both were delicious, smooth n creamy. Parking lot adjacent but limited. read more

Oh my-What a find! Best tasting croissants I have ever had! Friendly staff. Josh stood and talked to me for 10 minutes, a rarity today with most businesses. Inside is adorable and comfy. I also tried their Chocolate Chip Cannoli and it was also best I've ever had. They import the cheese from Italy to make the cream stuffing and you can tell-Delicious! read more

Updating to be 5 stars. I've gone back a couple times and have been won over! The gelato is great! The sandwiches are great! The pasta is great! The signage issue seemed to be all figured out. Highly recommend! read more

Great coffee! Authentic, house prepared pastries. A whole range of Italian cafe food items at reasonable prices, wine, beer, natural carbonations, desserts. Ice water station with flatware, napkins and extras. Get in one of several lines to order. The order + seating process is a bit chaotic, given that you may have already ordered hot food for a sit-down, followed by waiting for a table, flag marker in hand named after Sicilian towns. Three separate lines: one for coffee + pastry, another for meal items, one more for gelato. Busy-busy right at standard meal times. Recommend early or late check in for securing a table right away. Overall a good experience read more

My wife has been raving about Sorelle so when we were thinking about picking up some coffee she suggested Sorelle. As we pulled up, it looked very busy, especially since it was Fathers's Day. We decided to order for takeout. The line to place orders was pretty long but it went so quick. While we were there for coffee, I couldn't resist getting a croissant so I got a Pistachio Cream croissant to go along with my cold brew but when I saw the Apple turnover, I decided to order that too. The wife ordered a cold brew and a Guava danish. We also got Nutella croissants for the kids. The restaurant has outside and inside seating. It is really nice Inside and very nicely decorated. I put a splash of creamer but no sugar (which I normally put sugar in my coffee). I must say, it was so good and refreshing! It was not too strong or not too light. As for my croissant, baked with a perfect buttery, flaky outside and fluffy inside. It was a perfect size. With every bite the anticipation of biting into the filling was exciting. Once i reached the filling it was balanced with sweetness and pistachios and well worth the wait. I have not tried the Apple Turnover but I'm sure it will be equally delicious. My wife loved the Gauva Danish and I tried a bite, I was really really good. Overall, if you have a chance to stop by, I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. We will be back to have dinner or lunch. read more

I love this place! The food and service is consistently good, and this time the place was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

We truly enjoyed dinner at Sorelle! We were first struck by the charming decor and music and blown away by the food. We struggled to decide what to order and had zero regrets. We enjoyed three types of perfectly crisp arancini, a velvety potato soup, arugula and pear salad, and perfect pillows of cheese lasagna in vodka sauce. Desserts we ordered included a rich Nutella stuffed croissant, a perfect cannoli, and towering Zeppoli with cannoli cream. Service was attentive and the tables were cleared promptly and spotless. read more

I've only been here twice and only needed once to fall in love. This is a family owned business that serves Italian food, cafe items and gelato. Everything here is about presentation. I love the indoor decor, it seems like you are outside on a warm Italian day; there is laughter from family and friends & great food. Service is wonderful! I love the way they pack their to-go items. It was quick and easy for me to carry two coffees and a box of pastry to my car. They packed my pastry with Sorelle wrapping paper underneath & tied a red ribbon around the entire box!! Not to mention the thank you note. I'm obsessed!!! read more

We placed a large order right when they opened to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. With 15 guests, we needed to combine three large tables, which wasn't easy in a smaller restaurant with first-come, first-served seating.

Thank you to everyone who helped make my mom's birthday celebration so special. We truly appreciate your hospitality. read more

Great place for dinner or just a dessert Nice ambiance, good food welcome to the neighborhood

I just found out about this adorable boutique Italian Cafe from a friend last week and it's definitely a 5 star experience from start to finish. There are so many options here with regards to a light lunch, pasta dinner or tempting Italian style cannoli, Panna cotta, and croissants that you may be hard pressed to make up your mind on what to choose. This past Sunday I came here with a good friend of mine and chose the extremely delicious margarita pizza which is served as a generous thick slice of bread with tomatoes and sauce and also I had an iced latte. Today I am here by myself enjoying the happy vibes. I chose a truly yummy Arancini Rice ball with Sicilian meat sauce inside. It's buttery and melty and delectable. The outside has a crunchy and crisp texture and the inside portion of rice and bolognese...sauce so tasty and melty with cheese dripping off your fork. I also wanted to try a house made Gelato half chocolate and half espresso I can honestly say it's delicious too. This place has been packed on both visits and the Cafe is not just a coffee bar but a wonderful restaurant that serves authentic tasting Italian cuisine. If you're looking for a beautiful and cozy Cafe that serves authentic Italian pastries and cuisine I think you will love visiting Sorelle. read more

I love the ambiance of this restaurant. you can tell they put a lot of thought into it in order to curate a "photo-worthy" nook.

Cute little establishment. Nothing like I had thought it was gonna be. Not bad. Just different. You order from the counter where they have on display their full menu. There was a line. Cuz the food is pretty good. But I'm thankful cuz I was trying to decide what to order. We get to be register and they're so patient as we ask questions. ALL THE QUESTIONS. We order the Rigatoni Pasta, a Meatball Sub, the Caprese Salad (best I've had), the Spicy Calbrese Pizza, Minestrone Soup and the Arancini Prosciutto Cotto. Yes. We ordered a lot of food. Welcome to my life! ‍ The food comes out as it is ready. All foods were quite tasty. My least favorite was the Cotto. But even that wasn't horrible. Everything was better with a little crushed red pepper. But that's just who we are. We like a little spice. Note: They do NOT offer a Diet Anything. But they do have water. For everything we ordered the total was $57.78. Like I mentioned above. We ordered a lot of food and obvi took food home with us. The place is so well decorated and just so pretty. I would definitely come again. They do have a lot for parking. read more

We tried Sorelle again for lunch. The apple turnover was flakey but the filling was applesauce and not chunky with apples at all. We ordered the caprese salad. It was bland. The tomatoes were pale, refridgerated, (in August?) and the balsamic was vinegar and not glaze. Very thin. The ravioli was reasonably good but bland. The Eggplant Panino was icy cold. The cheese was not melted and there was no seasoning at all. The cappuccino was very good. The restaurant is cute but sadly the food is only so so. read more

Food was amazing !! Recommendations are the mushroom pizza bread, mussels and arugula and pear salad for appetizers. For meals we had the rigatoni with meatballs, chicken Marsala and one other chicken dish. All were amazing and reminded us of our Italian families cooking. Something to note: is very self serve. You get your own cups, silverware and order at the desk inside. You'll get a number and they'll bring it to the table. Tough having to get up and go inside anytime you need anything. Very European style restaurant. There was live music on a Wednesday and we had a nice evening. We sat on the patio where it is dog friendly! :) I want to try the breakfast and buy some wines to take home next time. Thanks Sorelle ! read more
