Sorelle Off the Lane is a welcome addition to the Warren food scene. As fans of their sister restaurant Spaghetti Lane in Barrington, my partner and I were excited to see them open right down the street from us. Winning! The space, previously home to Uptown, has been transformed in a really tasteful way. It leans darker and cozier than its predecessor, and the vibe is immediately comfortable. One suggestion though: the lighting over the bar could use some attention, particularly in the corner. It's a touch too dark for what is otherwise a really nice space. We grabbed seats at the bar and were greeted right away by bar manager Yamil, who presented us with menus. That said, there was no cocktail, just a very solid wine list, but seeing as we were already leaning toward Black Manhattans, that wasn't a problem. What impressed us was the Amari situation. For a lot of restaurants, a Black Manhattan is a non-starter because they simply don't stock Amaro. Sorelle not only had it, they had two we had never come across before, and we personally have quite the collection at home. Yamil gave a smile and knowing nod when we ordered them and upon delivering mentioned a Manhattan in general was one of his favorites and that he was in the process of building out the bar, ordering more of the staples along with accoutrements like Luxardo cherries. The cocktails he delivered, even lacking a cherry were perfectly balanced and were so good we each had a second one toward the end of dinner. We were offered bread to start, yes please, which was served in beautiful wooden boats with a round of butter sitting in olive oil, topped with a pinch of salt and a few rosemary sprigs. It was one of those simple things done just right. Honestly, irresistible. We only meant to order a single Greek salad to share, but ended up with one each. When they came, we were so excited to dig in that we completely forgot to take photos. Oops. They were loaded with Kalamata olives, feta, pickled onions, cucumber, crispy chickpeas, and a punchy, vinegary dressing. Fantastic. For mains, I went with the Pan Seared Sea Scallops off the specials menu. These were cooked to perfection; perfectly seared and buttery smooth. They were paired with a Brussels sprout, potato, bacon, and onion hash that was equally impressive. The potatoes had this interesting preparation, cubed and maybe boiled then lightly fried, that gave them a great texture. The whole dish was cohesive and so tasty. Generous portion too, though I still found myself wanting more. My partner went with the Caprese Salad, which was a little disappointing. Big beefsteak like tomatoes were used, and for us they're just a bit too mealy, lacking the punch you really want in a dish where the tomato is the star. A Kumato, an heirloom, or even a Campari tomato would elevate this significantly. The arugula was a nice touch, adding a sharp pepperiness, and the basil was there, though it didn't make much of an impression. A little more balsamic wouldn't hurt either. The Caprese is an Italian staple and an obvious showcase dish; they're close, but it needs a little refining. We almost never order dessert, but after watching a few plates come out of the kitchen we took a look at the menu. My favorites are bread pudding, tiramisu, and crème brûlée, and they had two of the three. We went with the bread pudding and I'm really glad we did. This isn't your dense, heavy bread pudding that leaves you wondering why you ordered it. It's surprisingly light, and the berry compote adds a nice brightness to each bite. If you're on the fence about dessert here, don't be. Overall, both my partner and I left impressed and if the enthusiasm throughout this review didn't tip you off, we will absolutely be back. read more

Absolutely loved this place, and I cannot wait to go back. Such a gorgeous spot, whether you sit outside on a nice day or in the beautifully decorated dining room. Our waitress was so kind and sweet, I wish I remembered her name! The food was phenomenal, from the appetizers to the meals my partner and I each had. The chicken parm was absolutely delicious. I wish it was open all week! Genuinely cannot recommend this spot enough, especially for a date night! read more

Came in for dinner with friends after we'd heard good things about this new place and they did not disappoint! Both my friends got the chicken Milanese and love it. I got the bolognese and it was a giant portion and super tasty. We split the fried mozzarella and the sauce had just the right tang! The place is super cute and the staff was very nice. I'd definitely go back read more

We visited this week shortly after they opened, and the transformation of the space is beautiful. We used to come here often when it was Uptown, and it looks completely different now, the bar is gorgeous and the dining room feels fresh, modern, and thoughtfully done. We had a reservation for six and went early for dinner. We were seated right away, and our waitress greeted us immediately. Water glasses and drink menus were already on the table, which was a nice touch. They're currently using paper menus since they've only been open about a week, and I actually appreciate that they're making adjustments and fine-tuning things as they go. The cocktails were excellent. The spicy margarita was absolutely delicious, one of the best I've had and the whiskey sour was also very good. Great start to the evening. We began with the stuffed zucchini flowers, which were very good and perfect for sharing. I personally prefer them slightly less deep-fried, but that's just preference, overall, a solid appetizer. For entrées, the table had mixed experiences. The blackened salmon special (with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach) was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The chicken Milanese was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The chicken Parmesan was a generous portion served over homemade rigatoni that was cooked perfectly. My wife and I both ordered the Pasta alla Sorrentina with bucatini. The pasta itself was nicely al dente (maybe just slightly under for my taste), but the dish lacked balance. There was quite a bit of mozzarella, which overpowered the other flavors, and while the garlic came through, the brightness from the lemon, basil, and tomatoes didn't stand out. We were both a bit disappointed, especially since it sounded so promising. The only service hiccup was that one entrée came out about 10 minutes after the others. With a new restaurant, timing issues can happen, but it would have been nice if something small had been offered while he waited. I'm sure that will improve as they settle in. Overall, we enjoyed our evening and appreciated that we weren't rushed. There's clearly a lot of potential here, and for a restaurant that's only been open about a week, they're off to a strong start. We'll definitely be back and look forward to seeing how they continue to refine things. read more

Food was average at best. Definitely way too expensive for what it was. 4 of us ate and none of us loved it.

I enjoyed Sorelle very much. The decor is lovely--I sat at the bar. The Bolognese was great as well as a lovely fresh salad. The service was good, the bartender delightful. If you have not experienced Sorelle, worth a try. Same owners as Spaghetti Lane in Barrington. read more

Food was excellent. Chicken parm crispy and seared scallops amazing with risotto. Service was mixed. Due to short staffing behind the bar the bartender was expected to make drinks for entire restaurant as well as take food orders. We waited 30 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us as she was very busy. Finally a waitress named Meg noticed our frustrations and took our order. She saved the night. Management needs to reorganize how to run the bar so that customers aren't waiting long periods of time. Ambiance is amazing. Beautiful place. read more

The fried mozzarella is the best! They have a good selection of items on their menu, I also really liked the Greek salad read more

Sorelle Off The Lane - Fried mozzarella - Italian Near Me - Warren, Rhode Island

My chicken was dry and tough. My friend's salmon was mostly raw. No one asked us how we liked our meal and the waitress ( who was very nice) didn't even comment on the salmon my friend put on a separate plate. The gf pasta was corn based which isn't as good as rice pasta! read more

We ordered appetizers with a drink for a late afternoon snack . Food was delicious and the waitress was great. Great atmosphere, calming read more

Sorelle is truly a neighborhood gem. the atmosphere is warm and inviting and from the moment I walked in I felt cozy even though it was packed on a Saturday night! everything from the table set up to the lighting to the beautiful dining room felt like a place that makes you want to linger . And of course, the food was incredible . Every dish tasted fresh , thoughtfully prepared , original and comforting . I'm so happy for the owners - they created a beautiful spot to get a classy meal read more

Beautiful remodel, with a nice menu, skewed Italian for sure. Service was slow and clearly not trained forgetting most of what we asked for. Food was terrific. The shrimp dish with bucatini was exceptional. The area with the bar was cozy and much quieter. Glad to have them in Warren read more

We went to this restaurant on Saturday, March 14th. We had reservations early and enjoyed our walk to this local place. Firstly, the ambiance was magnificent! Very romantic and relaxing. Soft music in the background. Servers were superb! They catered to our every need! Now, for the food...DELICIOUS! My husband had the broccoli rabe and sausage, and I had bucatini and cherry tomatoes in a wine sauce. The servings were quite generous...we ate it again, the next day. I loved the small pieces of bread with delicious butter and our Caprese salad appetizers were perfect. We will be returning regulars for sure! Oh, I forgot about the chocolate cake for dessert...SO good! read more

Been here multiple times. The best dish I've had unfortunately for an Italian restaurant was the Greek salad with chicken. The meatballs were the best appetizer. The pasta sorrentina was the best pasta dish but lacked salt. The bad there are many. Both the zucchini flowers and crispy eggplant appetizers just tasted of a heavy oily fry taste. I've never seen zucchini flowers on a menu this time of year in any restaurant. Usually they are a seasonal dish and this isn't the season for them. The crispy eggplant were just 2 heavily fried pieces of eggplant placed on sauce. The fried mozzarella was very odd. Every fried mozzarella dish I've had the cheese is firm. This mozzarella when cut was just runny, very odd. Almost like it wasn't mozzarella. The sausage and broccoli rabe is served with rigatoni. Any Italian knows this dish is never served with rigatoni, only orecchiette. The garlic taste was so overpowering it was almost uneatable. The chicken Parmesan was ordered with rigatoni but was served with ravioli. The vodka sauce was bland. Seemed more like they just added cream to the regular tomato sauce. A true vodka sauce has pancetta with onions and red pepper flakes, I saw and tasted none in the dish. The other odd thing is the kitchen timing. Both times salads were ordered as meals they always came after the pasta dishes were served, like 10 minutes later. Service has always been fine. The interior was very nice. On street parking is a nightmare. As a local I'm always thrilled when new restaurants open. But those were my honest experiences. The restaurant scene in Warren is very competitive with many excellent choices. Right now is this one of the best, probably not. read more
