    This is a great restaurant for a nice Italian dinner or an intimate date. The ambiance and service is excellent, the bread is great, and every dish is meticulously crafted and prepared wonderfully. You can't go wrong with any dish!

    What a fantastic experience! We were trying to pick a new spot and decided on Sorellina. When we walked in, we were greeted by Amanda. She was such a wonderful woman! She knew her customers well and we and absolute delight! We felt very welcome, and quite frankly, she made our entire visit better! Sorellina is attached to Slate, which is a dueling piano bar. So you could easily eat here and then go next door and enjoy some music! We chose a seat by the window and enjoyed people watching. It was a beautiful day so all the furbabies were out being walked. We found out that they have an amazing happy hour. The prices were really amazing! They have a three course meal for two for $45. That's right! $45!! I thought for sure it was $45 per person. But no. It was $45 for two!!! You had to order by 5:30 to get that deal so we were happy that we got there at 5. We ordered a Caesar salad and apple walnut salad. The Caesar salad was a bit to garlicky for me, but the apple walnut was amazing!! For entres we chose the chicken fettuccine and the chicken Piccata. Both were incredible!! For dessert we got a canolli and tiramisu. Oh! And you got either beer, wine, or soda including in that price. Crazy right?? The food was great, we loved the Atmosphere and our service was outstanding!!! Definitely recommend that everyone check it out!

    Bread for Two

    Our waitress was amazing truly a sweet attentive soul! Bread at Italian places I've been to usually comes to table no charge so note you do have to order. Wine we had with our meals was enjoyed. Food was just average, we all enjoyed but not blown away. I had the Alfredo and sauce was not a creamy it was more maybe over cooked thick clumps on the noodles and just not much flavor. Restaurant has a really nice vibe for meeting with loved ones and talking.

    We really enjoyed ourselves! The lasagna was amazing, as was the bread. The Alfredo needed some seasoning. Old fashioned was good, but the pineapple lemonade was just alright.

    We came here for my birthday dinner. Overall we had a good time. First the two negatives- We had a reservation but were forced to wait outside until nearly 15 minutes after our reservation time. Hmm okay. Second, service was very slow and minus the appetizers, the food was very bland as is. After adding some (a lot) of black pepper, salt, and chili flakes, our group was able to enjoy our entrees. On to the positives - We had a nice large table in the upstairs area and our waitress was kind and managed her best to offer suggestions and be mindful of allergies. The Te Honga wine she recommended was possibly the best wine we had all weekend and it was nice that she confirmed the dishes were allergy free when she could. We also enjoyed the apps and all devoured the bruschetta while waiting for our main meal. It seems this is a very popular spot and I'm glad we could make the best of it.

    My partner & I spent our 8 year anniversary here, and had an incredible time! The food was amazing, as well as the staff & service. Our waitress was sweet & attentive. The ambiance was perfect for date nights. We hope to be back soon!!

    Baked Italian sausage dish

    The space and the staff was amazing. That said charging $4 for eight slices of bread and police oil was a little crazy. Most places this is complimentary provided. Anti pasta salad was nice as the plated it on separate plates for us. Salad was very tasty. The main dish was good, not great. The cheese on top was meaty but the cheese under was still unmelted and you can see the individual grated cheese pieces. Chicken parm, the edges of the chicken were burnt. The pasta with the chicken parm looked good. Overall found it to be on the over priced side.

    We made reservations for Sorellina, so being brought to the restaurant Slate was a bit weird. I appreciate sharing kitchens but in my mind I like to pretend each restaurant is doing their own thing. The house can was great! I loved the baked dish, I can't remember the name but you'll know if looking at the menu.Even though gf, still had great gala or! I loved the slate salad. My husband like the cacio de Pepe and as good but super salty.

    I came here on a bustling Friday night and loved the ambiance! It's a mix of rustic, and high end modern chic. I was thrilled that we were seated right away and our server was enthusiastic to help us, even if a little ditzy at times. I was a little disappointed that bread is not offered complimentary here but it was tasty and we ordered it for the table. The dip it came with was tasty but could've used a little more of it with the ratio of bread given. I then moved onto ordering one of my favorite pastas of all time - the vodka pasta with chicken which was reminiscent of Carbone to me but in TC. Even though I could tell it was quite creamy and cheesy it was very delicious and tasty! I ended up finishing all of it. I didn't end up having room for dessert unfortunately but enjoyed our time here. The only snafu came towards the end when the waiter brought us the wrong check and was having trouble splitting our bill of two. I'd try to bring cash as I've noticed a lot of restaurants now are charging a credit card fee, so double check that before you visit here. Definitely worth a visit as this place is hip and comfortable and spacious, it is not too fancy or too casual if that makes sense which I appreciate and seemed to be great for couples/ friends and groups. The desserts also looked great but I was again too full to try them sadly.

    Sorellina is absolutely divine! This place feels upscale without being intimidatingly bougie by any means, which is the winning combination! Their menu is small, but filled with so many delicious dishes, and their food is SO good! We ordered a ton of their appetizers, including the bruschetta, calamari, bread, shrimp scampi, and spinach and artichoke dip. The calamari was my favorite, but all were solid! The shrimp scampi isn't your typical shrimp scampi and is a lot more broth-y than you're probably accustomed to, but that's communicated up front. The spinach and artichoke dip is heavy on the artichokes as well. I also got the seafood bisque - SUCH a good, creamy bisque with tons of seafood in it too, while also not being overly heavy! For main(s), I got the "Tips & Fungi," which is their beef tenderloin and mushroom risotto entree. It was so good, the tenderloin was cooked to PERFECTION (I requested medium and I'm always so impressed when a place actually cooks it to your specification!), so tender and just a wonderful beef dish. The mushroom risotto paired perfectly with it as well and I was a happy clam eating this dish alone! But then my friend and I shared the vodka rigatoni as well! I was so torn between getting an entree or a pasta since I believe Sorellina is probably best known for their pastas, given that this was the biggest section on their menu! The vodka rigatoni came highly recommended from other friends in our group who had had it before and it truly was so delicious! Rigatoni is one of my favorite types of pasta and this vodka rigatoni was everything I hoped it would be! It was creamy and flavorful, but not too heavy! It could've used a bit more salt or sodium, and It came out a bit lukewarm, but that's to be expected given that all our food came out at the same time and we had a massive group! But overall, I was so happy with everything I ate and I ate A LOT! I left the meal thinking I was going to be comatose, but I think because because everything was perfectly balanced, portioned, and not too extreme, even though we had a ton of carbs! Lastly, but probably most importantly AND impressively, our service was PHENOMENAL! We came in as a giant group of 11 people and they were so accommodating! Not only that, but our waitress was so on top of all of our orders and constantly checked in on us. She didn't make a single mistake in any order placed, the drinks and the food all came out super quickly and we were never left wondering 'what was taking so long,' and then at the end we were that super ridiculous party that had 11 separate checks as well. Not a single mistake made on the checks and this was the only part that took a bit longer, which is completely understandable and to be expected given that she was ringing up 11 different bills and processing 11 different payments. I am kicking myself for not getting her name, but I'm truly so grateful to her and the well-oiled staff at Sorellina that assisted in bringing all our food out as well. All in all, I was blown away by how wonderful my experience was at Sorrelina. This is probably the best experience I've ever had with a large party and I feel like that is an encouraging thing to see of how well run a place is if they can handle such a large party! SO impressed by their service and their food and highly recommend this spot to everyone looking to dine in downtown Traverse City! Thank you, Sorellina!

For those of you who pick your restaurants based on pop, they serve Coke and Northwoods. The menu is expansive ranging from appetizers, boasted chicken, a salad bar, Mexican, burgers/sandwiches and pizza. I did not upload pics of the menu bc their entire menu is available on their website. The staff is friendly and attentive. We arrived and every table in the place was full but was still seated within 15 mins. The food came out quickly after ordering. We got the garlic cheese bread as an appetizer, and the Broasted Chicken and a Small Pepperoni Pan Pizza as entrees. Everything was delicious and incredibly reasonably priced for the portions. Ambience inside is a little dated and while the tables/floors are clean, the decor on the walls could use some attention. Otherwise, Rico's is a great local place and I'd recommend it if you're in the area.

We stumbled upon Rico's--one of the few places still open late--and decided to give it a try. We're so glad we did! The food was delicious. My husband and I really enjoyed our meals--everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying after hours on the road. Some of our family had mixed opinions, but overall, everyone found something they liked. What really stood out was the friendly and welcoming staff. Even though it was late, they were kind, patient, and made us feel right at home. If I'm ever back in Traverse City, I'd definitely order from Rico's again. Great option for late-night dining with good vibes and solid food!
