Chicken parm $19 (but no cheese and less sauce)
Nick C.

Another Italian restaurant in RI with food that's like your grandma used to make. I got the veal francaise. Portion size was good and the fried outside was more wet than crispy, but I didn't mind it. The meat was thin and tender, but the dish could have used more flavor. $30 is pretty steep for this dish when other restaurants in Rhode Island are around $25. My mom got the chicken parm (without cheese). Again, the fried outside is a different style compared to the typical crispy, breadcrumb crust. For being pounded very thin, the chicken was super juicy. It was $19 which is pretty good. However, the atmosphere isn't pleasant. The tables are right on top you and it's very noisy inside. Because of this, it's a good place for takeout and I saw many people getting food to go.

Its been five years since I last visited Sorrento restaurant and I remember loving it but I just went tonight and unfortunately the quality just isn't the same. I should state that this review is based on a take-out order. The eggplant had a rough texture and the chicken was too thin and lacking any meat. The penne and garlic knots were tasty.

Snail salad

Order snail salad , cost $22.70 and was such a small portion. On top of that was mostly celery and onions!!! Topped with normal salad dressing. Absolutely the worst snail salad I have ever had in my whole life . Never again.

Garlic Knots

First time here. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was really good!! We had a great , attentive server named Courtney! I had the Sorrento which was chicken cutlet and eggplant it was so tasty! Definitely will go back!

Highly recommend this restaurant. We have been driving by this place for years and finally stopped for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the slow service. Our waitress was so very nice but it took so long for her to come to even take our drink order and she didn't come enough to check on us. The waitress did bring over fresh bread and I ordered some meatballs as an appetizer and I loved them and they were only $3.50. I also ordered a Caesar Salad which was tasty. For dinner I had a nice size Veal Parm which was truly delicious and my wife had an amazing amount of chicken with her meal; Chicken Francises. Definitely coming back. Next visit; 1/11/19 Amazing.... but sad that my wife & I had the exact things we had last time. I had the Meatball App & Csaser Salad to start off. The meatballs were so good I got two more with my Veal Parm which I think was the best I have ever had. Yes... best I ever had. Delicious!!! Only difference with my wife's Chicken Francises was not as much chicken as last time. Moving my rating to 5 stars. Delicious!! Worth the 50 minute drive. Our waitress was outstanding... terrible but I forgot her name. Short women with a wonderful personality. So looking forward to going back. Nothing fancy... just good food.

You can't get a prime rib cooked medium rare... because they grill it. ? Never heard of that before.

We tried going to Sorrento, but parking is full. There's a sign which says...back parking but no arrows to direct traffic. Left...went to Tumblesalts instead. Exactly where is the back parking?

Turn down Allen ave or take a right down the alley between buildings. Sorrento rear entrance is not complete but is functional, it is the only tan door on back of the building.

They put much thought and detail into their cocktail menu here and many can be made into equally pretty mocktails as well. Brad took care of us while there and he was the best! We sat at the bar for hours enjoying his company and his amazing drinks! This spot is also adorable. The bar is chic and pretty, but the lounge setting is unmatched! It's upscale and elegant and can't be perfect for a fancy night out or also a casual (but pretty) drink at the bar. We got some really good pizza while there, and heard they will be changing up their menu soon and can't wait to come back and try that as well. The upstairs space is also really special! It was stunning and I'm so glad we checked it out. I'm already plotting how it would be perfect for the book club I'm in! We walked out through the event space since it was snowing and was obsessed with the tree house vibes leading out to the parking lot. This venue is amazing. I will be back for their next specialty cocktail menu and their new food items for sure! Thanks Brad and all the staff we spoke with for an amazing experience!

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

I like their tequila and gin drinks - they usually ask if you want a single or double shot for your cocktail. Their slider selection is good too- each other comes with two and you can add an additional one for an up charge. I like their " big mac " sliders with a side of waffle fries, but their shoe string fries are also tasty. They also have shareable " fish bowl " cocktails for 2 - 5 people, and I like the " Shark Attack " - you get a rubber ducky and candy on the bottom! They also have desserts - churros, smores, & fried oreos. So delicious and good portion. The outdoor patio is nice to sit at for large parties, but there's a good amount of seating inside as well. The staff are also really nice, and service is quick and attentive - even on a busy night. Wish there were more spots like this in RI!!

We started with the Chicken Marsala Stuffed Mushrooms, which were packed with rich, savory flavor. I ordered the 'Shroomy Grilled Cheese, and it was next-level comfort food; gooey, earthy, and perfectly balanced. My husband and aunt both had the New School Smash Burger, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly "to die for." Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

The pizza was ok, could have been cooked like a moment more. The Shroomy grilled cheese for me was the best thing on the menu. Hubby said the steak was just meh, but he is fancy, we take his reviews with a grain of salt, LOL... The decor and vibe of the place was great! Its big, misleading from the street, but there are rooms, and hallways, and more rooms! Super cute, but it does get busy, Make a reservation. Get the Brie Crostini, I remember that being great, and now Im drooling!
