I hosted a bridal shower at Sorellina and highly recommend for your next event! Nicole, the Events Manager, was very responsive and easy to work with. All of the staff members were friendly and attentive, especially the bartender! The food was served hot, fresh, and all of my guests left full and happy! The space fit 30 of us perfectly. Excited to dine here again in the future! read more

The ambiance is cute and the menu is small, but good. Glows: -Holiday decor and themed drinks are cute. -Food was yummy Grows: -The service was extremely slow (both food and drinks). -Server was okay, just seemed a bit disinterested at times. Pro-Tip -Parking is a pain- uber if you can or plan on parking. -Order your food all at once, it takes a while. read more

Thought the food and drinks were really good! I was a bit surprised we had to ask for the happy hour menu considering it was 4:45pm and it ran from 4-6p.. we would've ordered off that menu! Nonetheless, the apps we shared were all delicious. The arancini and brussel sprouts were standouts. Very nice place for an outing as well. read more

We went last night and although our reservation was a bit late, the staff could not be more lovely. I thought the food was as good as I had remembered, although my main course of swordfish arrived a bit cold. I did enjoy it though. We also never got one of the appetizers ordered. We also had a delicious dessert. It could have been softer, but it was delicious. The ambiance was in the holiday spirit and the place was mobbed. We had an enjoyable evening. read more

Stopped in for Monday night happy hour at the bar to enjoy the holiday decor. It was crowded. Had to flag down a bartender to clean off the bar area where we sat since it was so dirty. They have a menu of seasonal cocktails but the gingerbread espresso martini one that's all over their Instagram wasn't printed on it - it's $17 and I wasn't a huge fan. Ordered the half portion of spaghetti & meatballs on their happy hour menu. Was told it comes with two meatballs, but the bartender also added an extra charge of $4 for an extra meatball - wtf. The meatball wasn't very good and pasta was mediocre. I'm still so underwhelmed by this restaurant. Expensive but average to below average food and service. Make sure to check your receipts too... read more

Wonderful dinner at Sorellina recently. We were there for New Year's Eve. At $75 per person, I wouldn't call it a bargain (that only got you an appetizer, dinner (lots of pastas), and assorted cookies for dessert). But I get it - it's NYE. That aside, I will definitely back. Food was delicious, staff were so friendly and helpful, and the ambience was warm, stylish and cozy. Loved it! read more

I had such a lovely dinner at Sorellina Hoboken. The menu has quite a dinner selection. The pistachio pasta stood out to me on the menu, and it did not disappoint. If you love pistachios and pasta, this is a must have. The burrata was delicious with a nice sized portion side of toasted bread. I topped off my meal with a nice tiramisu- a perfect shareable size or for you to enjoy on your own. I definitely will be back to try more outstanding options! read more

(Dined 07/12/2023 WE @ 5:45pm): Sorellina shouldn't feel like a younger sister to anyone! My friend wanted to try Sorellina - and their Wednesday Wine Flight Special, so that's all it took! As much as I loved Italian food, I rarely dined out at such restaurants except when it came to pizza. As I continued to explore Hoboken, there truly was an alluring energy about this town. Would this eatery change my "sore" attitude, or would I "lean" a little in their favor!? PURCHASE Bread & Butter Spread (COMP): We could've easily filled up on the fresh slices of bread along with the whipped butter spread but we didn't. 3-White Wine Taster Flight ($18.00 x2): This was a great way to try wines new to me, and all were lovely! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wK9RkMjLzpjxqf8nVNS2qg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Fried Calamari Antipasti ($18.00): A large portion of crispy squid rings, these were da bomb! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bbmGJOsP9hLtB3lPMTog9g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Mortadella & Melon Antipasti ($17.00): I enjoyed the thinly-sliced meat that paired well with the bread, but I wasn't impressed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gpVjVGDwPfHCDMJoA-U-iQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Caesar Salad ($12.00): This simple salad with the interesting green dressing, was a pleasant palate cleanser. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7i_zlvKiUYYw_uJ08oVDWg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Lobster Scampi ($32.00): The pasta was lovely, the flavors jumped out at you, and there was lobster in every bite! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0rXRs1CLOVZuq4sEHSKmdw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Grilled Branzino ($32.00): A simple dish, the fish was flaky and meaty but wished there was more to it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1ChDtxUYWZVEVhOFxlEV-g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 2019 Friuli Friulano Scarbolo White Wine 4floz Glass ($12.00 x2): From a taster to a full glass of creamy sweetness, I paired this with dessert. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ja2-bVEjabu7hJLT7zim9A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 7 Layer Cookie Cake ($12.00): The vibrant colors caught my attention, but the separate flavors of almond cake, raspberry jam, and stracciatella gelato solidified its worthiness. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Qq6NZjT8UcM4tMT3Mw1cIQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 3-Scoop [Sweet Cream, Pistachio, Blood Orange-Basil Sorbetto] Gelato ($9.00): At $3.00/scoop, this was a pricey but delectable dessert. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JrAjgayu9yN9VgIX8dyWQg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Mandatory Credit Card Fee (3.00%): C'est la vie... SERVICE With reservations, we were warmly greeted by a friendly young hostess who showed us to a great corner table that allowed us to watch the world pass us by. Our excited male server gave us menus, explained the evening's specials, made some recommendations, provided water, and gave us time to decide. Once we were ready, he was attentive the entire time as everything came out in a timed cadence so the table never got crowded with empties - bellissimo! PARKING (Street Only; N/A this instance) We took a Lyft here. Otherwise, as was the case for much of Hoboken, there were limited spots along the main drag of Washington St.. and all surrounding streets unless you were lucky enough to find an empty spot, or you took public transportation which stopped nearby - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A darling corner location, colorful flower baskets decorated the black metal railing used to enclose the eatery along the sidewalk that later converted into an outdoor dining space, the interior was simply charming https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Q6XektjSzUKOxTbB6Iyicg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw with a mix of brick, tiling, and wood along with a quaint bar. Tables were placed side-by-side throughout for a more communal feel. Plenty of natural lighting flooded in through the surrounding large glass windows and front doors while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed a couple blank TVs while international music played in the background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fuyIaLfDN8941_7ih-TX2g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We had a brilliant evening at Sorellina, and were generally impressed from start to finish. The food menu was a bit curtailed but varied enough. They also had weekday happy hour specials. I felt the prices were reasonable, the food was incredible, portions were large, and the service impeccable. And, whenever possible I liked to support small family-owned or local businesses. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $209.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

I've eaten both brunch and dinner here a number of times. This is my daughter's favorite place and she really wanted her bridal shower here so I decided to honor her request. I dealt with Nicole, the events manager, who went above and beyond. She dealt with my never ending questions with a lot of patience! I had the entire restaurant and chose four passed appetizers, charcuterie and crudities to start with. I also had four mixed drinks plus beer and wine. For my entrees I chose three dishes that came with salad. Everything was delicious! I wound up with just 23 guests so the flow was great. I also had two vendors in the back so they were out of the way. Sorrelina was so accommodating with my guests that had various food allergies and made it a point to bring them special dishes. The desserts they provided looked delicious but I didn't get a chance to enjoy them. Philip, the bartender was fabulous and kept the drinks coming! I'm sorry I don't remember anyone else's names but the staff went above and beyond! I highly recommend Sorrelina for brunch, dinner or an event. read more

My burrata strozzapretti tasted like nothing I've ever had before, in the worst way possible. There was barely any burrata, no sauce, dry noodles, under seasoned mushrooms, pieces of corn kernels in it. The starting bread and arancini was good. Kale salad was dry with bizarre large chunks of cookie. The prices were pretty high for how mediocre the food was. read more

This is a cute spot on a corner with mostly pasta options. I got the pistachio rigatoncini which was sooo good & interesting! It was a mixture of a creamy pistachio sauce with fresh pistachios, bacon & shrimp. I know it sounds weird but wow it was delicious. My friend had the calamarata pomodoro which had crab meat, tomatoes & was slightly sweet. We had a white wine and a red which paired very well with my pistachio pasta, it was delicious but I can't remember the name! The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because I am pretty sure they forgot about us. We were sitting outside and waited about 60 minutes for our meal to come out which was frustrating because we were hungry!! The waiter came rushing to us and he was out of breath after us waiting about an hour. The food was pleasant but waiting that long for pasta made no sense to me. read more

The food is good although I'd say the pasta is a bit al dente for my liking. Everything is a bit over priced for Italian in Hoboken in my opinion. Service was excellent. The staff checked it just the right amount of times while also giving me some space on date night. The vibe was nice as well, not too crowded for a Monday evening. read more

Really disappointed at this place. So many high hopes. The service is very slow. Yes, the people are nice but it doesn't make up for being slow and not attending to the table/not checking in. The ambiance is definitely gorgeous especially during holiday time. The drinks were good for sure. We had the espresso martini and the merry-spritzmas off their holiday menu. Appetizers were good - we had the hummus and the ricotta dish. The entrees however were so salty and dull. I had the braised rib Tortillini. It was so extremely salty. The braised rib was stuff in the Tortillini was over stuffed. The lobster fettuccine was also very salty and tasted straight out of the ocean. The manicotti was good (without meat). The autumn spaghetti (not sure the official name of the dish) was okay. We ended with the gingerbread tiramisu and it was not good at all. It is not your classic tiramisu dish. Overall I'd only return to visit the bar but never the food. read more

4.5 stars Despite having a mediocre past experience at Sorellina, I had come to love their sister restaurant, Sirenetta, and decided that I needed to return to give it another chance. I was thrilled that I did, as this visit was spectacular!! The restaurant was very cozy and warm; it resembled an old tavern. Our server was efficient, though I would not say he was overly friendly; either way, he got the job done quickly and accurately. We asked if we could start with mocktails, as neither of us was in the mood to drink that evening. I went for a non-alcoholic version of their new, seasonal peach drink, while my brother got something infused with ginger. Both were sweet and refreshing. We were then approached with the offer of focaccia or semolina bread, of which I took a slice of each. Both breads were soft and fluffy, and the focaccia had been infused with herbs. The slices were served with a tangy red pepper butter. The meal was off to a great start, and it only got better from there. We decided to share the Seared Scallops appetizer, which included quartered scallops and white sweet potatoes that had been tossed with watercress in a sesame aioli. The heavy infusion of sesame gave the dish an almost Asian flare. The scallops were perfectly cooked, as well. It was a surprising and creative use of ingredients that really just worked. For my main course, I went with the Spaghetti, which was looped around roasted tomatoes. There had been ricotta somewhere in the mound of pasta, but it had melted into it. When I twirled my fork into the spaghetti, I found a layer of zucchini pesto beneath it. I mixed everything up, and the tomato, pesto, and cheese melded into this intensely flavorful sauce. Who knew that one of the most basic pastas on the menu would turn out to be so multi-dimensional! My brother also selected a pasta as his entrée, and the Lamb Tortellini was similarly incredible. The delicate noodle dumplings were stuffed with hearty, savory pulled lamb. They were served with sliced carrots and over a carrot puree, with a dash of sweet chili for an extra pop. Wow, was that lamb heavenly! Lastly, we simply had to order a slice of the 7-Layer Cookie Cake, which was essentially a giant rectangular rainbow cookie. The cake layers had been coated with an aromatic almond oil, which left them really moist. There was homemade, low sugar raspberry jam in layers within the pastry and use to decorate the plate. Speaking of the plating, there were also toasted, sliced almonds for an added crunch and roasted flavor to balance the sweetness. There was also a scoop of stracciatella (chocolate chip) gelato that was packed a great balance of vanilla and chocolate. Ahh, even talking/writing about this experience just makes me want to return to Sorellina. What a delicious meal! read more

Not safe for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. The pomodoro is fish based... not disclosed anywhere and was incredibly surprising and upsetting. Employees were unbothered by this and it ruined our meal. Overly expensive for what you get. Loud, dark, slow service and unimpressive food. Would not come again, nor recommend it. All it takes on a menu is the mention of "contains fish" on a dish that traditionally does not contain fish to solve this. read more

I need to preface this review by saying that this review is solely based on eating/drinking at the bar. My husband and I have never actually sat at a regular table at Sorellina. We've kind of made it our go-to for a last drink of the night and a dessert before heading home and relieving the sitter. But for that, it's perfect!! They have wonderful desserts that change regularly so you get to try new things every season. The bar tenders are always quick, friendly and not too chatty. Which is how I prefer my bartenders. If you're looking for a perfect end to your evening with a good drink and a great dessert, I would recommend Sorellina. read more

We went to the always nicely decorated Sorellina for brunch and overall the food and experience was good for sure. The dining room was surprisingly empty when we went which was nice as it could get crowded! Our server was helpful however, the only thing we were confused about was she kept saying we don't have enough salad bases left for everyone that wanted to order salad. I understand meal prepping for the brunch rush but "running out of salad bases" seemed weird since salad is something that doesn't require extensive prep time or ingredients. As for the rest of the meal, we started with almost all of the appetizers brunch has to offer! The two different types of tots, sweet chili bacon, homemade cinnamon rolls, and burrata were all yummy. The toast trio was ok nothing special and the mushroom one was pretty greasy. For our mains the highlights were the hot pork sandwich and biscuits and gravy. My personal favorite was the hot pork sandwich. The other items including the flatbread pizza, sausage and pepper scramble, and salads were all items we wouldn't order again. The egg on the pizza was overcooked and overall messy and lacking flavor. The scramble was also pretty dry and flavorless. We felt their "prep" possibly included precooking the eggs the way everything was so dried out. Lastly, the drinks weren't super memorable which was sad but shouldn't be a total deterrent. Dessert was next and naturally we ordered most of the options on the menu! The 7 layer cookie cake was amazing! As for the gelato that was also a let down. There are a lot better places in Hoboken to get some pretty delicious gelato so this is also a skip for us in the future. Overall, the appetizers were the highlight of our meal so if you and your brunch friends are into sharing small plates I definitely suggest skipping most of the main dishes and sticking with appetizers and dessert! read more

I was in town for business and meeting colleagues for dinner. Decided to stop in for pre-dinner drinks and we sat at the bar. We didn't order food, just basic drinks at the bar. I was impressed with the bar upon first seeing it, however not so much when inquiring about depth of variations. Ended up with a Don Julios margarita that was just flat. If a bar can't make me say wow with a basic drink ordered it makes me wonder what the rest of the menu would offer. The place was full and loud, but didn't do anything to make me want to come back. read more

I've been here a bunch of times, and stick by my original review, but wanted to point out a fun change I noticed since last time. They have a house specialty pasta. Now ... if you are a traditionalist with your cacio e pepe, this is not for you. But they have a version of it that is very interesting and unlike any other I have had. It is "CACIO E PEPE CONCHIGLIE" on the menu, with milk braised pork, and a black pepper pasta. Lots of flavor, and filling. I'd also recommend you try their bolognese, as they do what I call a "triple threat" (they don't just use beef, they also use pork and veal in the meat mixture). Oh and also, they have the best espresso martini in all of NJ. So there's that. read more

We didn't know when we chose this place that we'd picked such a popular spot! Without a reservation, being seated was looking doubtful, but we were able to snag two seats at the bar. This worked out well, as we were greeted by a very friendly bartender named Owen who made sure to take excellent care of us throughout the evening. At the suggestion of the couple next to us, we started with the seared scallop appetizer with ravioli and spicy carrot sauce. The scallops were seared perfectly and the sauce was unique (in a good way). I would totally order this as an entree if given the opportunity. For dinner, we ordered the crab cavatelli and the rigatoni bolognese. I was very close to ordering. a short rib pasta dish, but Owen advised the cavatelli. I was not disappointed! Literally every forkful was also full of crab. I've been thinking about it ever since. I showed a picture of my meal to a friend, and he thought my plate had been covered in cheese. That's how much crab there was! The rigatoni dish was also very good, and I stole a few noodles between bites of my own. We skipped dessert, being too full to continue, but dinner itself was enough. I would definitely recommend Sorellina to anyone looking for good Italian food in Hoboken. read more

Unlike its sister Sirenetta, this place is pretty mediocre. I'm sure it's fine if you're just grabbing a drink but the food always leaves me underwhelmed. I thought something changed since I last went in 2020 and I hate to report that it didn't. I love pasta but the pasta entrees I had here were not great. Maybe it was an off day for the chef. That said, the service is always friendly and the atmosphere is nice. read more

Came here for dinner with friends right before Christmas. The inside was decorated so beautifully with a ton of holiday decor. The inside of the restaurant itself is tiny but that's not surprising in Hoboken. Service was decent, a little slow, but it was super busy so that's understandable. Food was very good.

We received an email on Dec 31st, 2022 at 1:30 pm asking us to put in a reservation for brunch specifying a "special" all day brunch menu. I sent an email at 2:20 pm asking about where to find this special brunch menu that differs from the standard menu and as of 7pm, I have not received a response. I called at 7pm and spoke to a host who did not know about this and could not find a manager citing that Sorellina's is "really busy right now" with no resolution in sight. Sorellina asks us to email or call, but they either are non-responsive or have no idea what they are promoting when you actually do reach someone. This is the first experience with this restaurant, so clearly they aren't interested in my business. What a shame, and terrible customer experience. read more
