This place is every bit worthy of 5 stars. From the service to the food to the absolute beautiful decor. I had chicken Alfredo and it was top notch. The bread served was warm and fresh!!! What I found most interesting is the cheesecake flight they offer. The flavors are rotating. This is a gem in Rochester!

I asked for pine nuts on my pasta dish but they didn't have any so they loaded it with delicious pecans . It was amazing

Food is always delicious and great portions. Pasta is cooked perfectly. Very rich and tasty.

Some kind of drink- forgot what its called!!!

As always, Sorellina's never disappoints! Recommend reservations for a weekend night.

A fairly new restaurant (a sister one in fact) and I've driven by here countless times. The outside looks very modern and beautiful, the parking lot is also full for the most part. My sister invited us to this restaurant because she had a pleasant experience when she came. Off the bat I noticed we're definitely paying more for the ambiance. We did wait a bit due to having a party of 6 without reservations but it wasn't bad. Our sever was helpful and polite. I did call beforehand to make sure they had vegan options. Didn't take a picture of the tables have bread available with a garlic, butter and oil sauce (we didn't use). The rolls aren't vegan (have egg) so that was a disappointment. I got the Mixed Vegetables Italiana without butter and cheese, it was nearly $18 for noodles and vegetables. The portion size was great but the food was mid tier. I wasn't in awe of the food it just felt basic. My other family members enjoyed their food but mentioned the cake was cold (last time it was warm). Aside from the fancy decorations which were beautiful due to Christmas just passing, the food didn't match their level. It's a great for a first time visit but I don't see myself stopping by again.

Such an amazing restaurant! We went in on my birthday on a friday night. We did read the reviews and it said the food takes a while to come out. Surprisingly, we were in/out in a hour. Our server was super nice & helpful. They did you bread and water when you sit down. I had the lasagna and my fiancé had chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Both were very good! Our food came out super fast (faster than we expected) We ordered a chocolate cake to go since we had other places to go. It was so good! I will definitely be back again to try their pizza. It wasn't that busy until 8 pm. It looks kid friendly but we didn't see any kids that night. The prices were decent. $18 for some pasta.

Calamari Fritti appetizer-so light and delicious!

First time trying this place! My husband and I were charmed by the relaxed, open, and bright atmosphere of the restaurant. We were seated quickly and someone brought water and some delicious bread within the first couple of minutes. The best part of our meal was the complimentary bread that we dipped in a Parmesan cheese and oil mixture, and the calamari fritti appetizer! The calamari was lightly fried, with a jalapeño aioli over a little bed of lettuce-it was light and so delicious! We ordered two pasta dishes: the Della Nona and the Rosa Verde. The Della Nona was pretty salty and rich, but the seafood in the dish was cooked pretty well. The Rosa Verde was a bit on the heavy side as well, and came with 4 large pieces of cheese ravioli-which were very delicious! The chicken was also tender and moist. The one thing we didn't care for was actually the service from our waitress. She didn't seem very inviting or personable, and didn't seem happy to be at work. Overall we will for sure be back to try something else on the menu in the future!

Beautiful restaurant and probably one of the best salads I've ever had. I was on a work trip and eating solo, so sat at the bar - good service from the bartender! I'll be back next time I'm in Rochester.

Chicken feliz

Such a cute place - I love the greenhouse type space where you feel like you're sitting outside. Excellent service throughout. We also love places where mocktails have their own menu for the teens. We had to stop ourselves from requesting another bread basket because that stuff is so dangerous! Sauces, meats, and pastas were cooked to perfection. I wasn't even able to get pictures of all the food because the kids ate it so fast.

While in Rochester, we stopped in to Sorellina's: Super cute, newer place Food: The bread: delicious Caesar salad: Nothing special Mushroom pasta: Very good, but very rich. Pumpkin cheesecake: Good, but i've definitely had better, not worth the $10 in my opinion. Service: Good Sister restaurant to Victorias in downtown Rochester.

Butternut Squash Ravioli
Alex M.

I cannot remember the last time I've had a meal this delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, the flavors and textures perfectly in sync. Bread and oil(with cheese and balsamic) was nice and warm, crunchy in the outside, soft on the inside. The Figgin' Old Fashioned was the best Minnesota old fashioned ice ever had; smooth and delicious. The butternut squash ravioli was perfect, you could still taste that delicate butternut squash flavor even with all the other parts of the dish. The server(Katie by the way, she was awesome!) was kind enough to bring out a little dish of parmesan cheese to add on top. And the cheesecake flight was the perfect end to a perfect night. Tiramisu, strawberry, salted caramel, and lemon, and they were all so so so good. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, chic, and intimate. The staff were all friendly and helpful. You're still here? The review's over! Go to Sorellina's!

Caesar Salad
Deb O.

I was here at 2 pm on a Tuesday and sat at the bar with Yaya, who was a gem! I was here on the same day as Best Restaurants taping of a tv show so that should say something right there. I started out with an espresso martini and was a little disappointed it did not have fresh brewed espresso in it. It tasted good. Then moved onto a Caesar Salad and an appetizer of meatballs. All items were fresh and very tasty. The bread ball they serve warm with butter and olive oil , balsamic and Parmesan cheese.. Delicious food! I absolutely am in love with the warm atmosphere and friendly employees.

Food was good but awe-fully rich. Half size options would be appreciated along with garlic toast rather than an overfilling dinner roll.

Great ambiance and food. Word of warning: they charge a fee if you pay with credit card. Bring cash. Five stars if not for this flaw

Tonight was our last night in town and we finally made it to Terza upon the recommendation of our…read moreclient at Mayo Clinic. We were not disappointed!! The greeting and service was excellent. The manager (owner?) came around to genuinely check on our table and all others. The food each of us had was a 5!! I had gluten free penne with grilled chicken, tomatoes and broccolini in olive oil. It was delicious! My friends/colleagues had other pasta dishes they said were wonderful. We look forward to visiting here again on our next visit!

The place has a great feel - dim lighting, open kitchen, good energy without being over the top. Easy spot to settle in and enjoy a meal. Our waiter was excellent for most of the night. He knew the menu well and pointed us toward the handmade pasta over the boxed options. It came with an upcharge, as expected, but worth it. Toward the end of the evening he started disappearing for longer stretches. We weren't in a rush, but it went a little past what you'd want. Food was excellent. I started with the oysters - fresh, cold, clean, with that nice briny hit. For my entrée I had the scallops over fresh pasta with mushrooms and thin crispy potato chips. The scallops were spot on with a good sear and the whole dish came together really well. My wife had the chicken piccata (which I sampled - and really liked), daughter went with the wild mushroom tagliatelle, and her boyfriend had the pappardelle with grilled chicken and scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We also a bruschetta app to start, which was not as flavorful as I expected. The wonderful warm bread disappeared fast. A couple Caesar salads were ordered and received compliments from those who partook. We left full and satisfied. Overall, really good experience and consistent with our first visit. Would recommend and we'll definitely be back.

The interior was lovely and the service was excellent and attentive. Our meal did not disappoint, either. We had the croquets with arroz con pollo, avocado crema, but no cilantro (my wife is allergic to it). Very tasty, as were our cocktails. My wife had the risotto with braised beef cheek (so tender!), roasted oyster mushrooms, veal demi-glace, and parmesan. Unctuous and umami. I had the Bucatini -- blue crab with anchovy butter and red pepper pesto. I'm a sucker for anchovies and the anchovy butter, once stirred into the pasta, was absolutely delicious and really complimented the crab. A truly savory and decadent treat. We were really pleased with our experience at Our Paladar and we look forward to coming back when we visit Rochester again in the not too distant future.

Bingo it was spot on! You are greeted with that classic RC vibe that invited you in and says stay a while. The food was absolutely perfect, and there was plenty of it. The staff is very attentative and there is absolutely nothing wrong! I mean you really can't fault this place. Needless to say I've been going since they opened, I believe it was 2024/2025. At any rate I still haven't gotten to my review.... Now for the good stuff! Here it is almost thanksgiving 2025 and we need a Thanksgiving dinner for a small group of family and friends. Of course my default was RC. I called and spoke to a gentleman named Taylor. I didn't ask his position or what he was responsible for, or anything like that. I had a few questions about the online order and he was very helpful, courteous and very professional. He helped me add some items and change some others. In really couldn't ask for more. Mind you they were getting swamped for orders. Long story short everything went off without a hitch! The turkey was out of this world and I wish they had it year round on the menu. Of course we got extra for leftovers. Sides, amazing, stuffing- mind blowing, salad- classic and the potato dishes, yam dishes and other veggies were perfection. Long story short after the holidays died down I decided to call and let the general manager know what a fantastic job this fellow Taylor did! Viola! It turns out Taylor is the general manager! Here's a guy who is the captain of the ship and he takes time during the busiest time of the year to talk to and help out some guy on the phone (me). I can't say enough! Thank you again and we'll be back!
