We were walking through downtown Traverse City and looking for some place to eat when we passed…read morethis Italian restaurant and figured it looked good. It also smelled like garlic which was awesome. I had Gambaretti which had jumbo shrimp, white wine, lemon, garlic, red paper and I believe it's a type of pasta. It was very good. My friend had the chicken parmigiano which he really liked. This is a very expensive restaurant and it doesn't come with anything else. We ended up paying $6 to get a side a bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic was amazing!! My friend also got an Arnold Palmer drink which he said didn't taste very good but he drank most of it anyway.

The only reason that I don't give Sorellina's one star is the location, ambiance, and service. I…read moreordered the veal picatta for dinner. It was possibly the worst veal picatta I have ever had. The veal was rubbery; they put so much of the mediocre sauce on the plate it looked like soup. The wife had a salad that was well made, but how hard is it to make a salad. The tiramisu was blah. Like Matthew R. we made a reservation at Sorellina's but were moved to Slate's. There are multiple really good Italian restaurants in Traverse City. I would pick one of them.

I was able to eat here on a Monday since my flight that was supposed to leave got canceled so I had…read morean extra day to spend in Michigan since my friend's family managed to add me to their reservation. This restaurant is definitely on the smaller side but it has such the cutest charm! I ordered the Salmon Piccata with a side of Caesar salad, and pasta with oil, garlic, and butter. The Salmon Piccata was perfectly cooked; however, I wish it had a tad more seasoning (maybe a tad more salt or simply lemon juice) since I truly had to rely on the capers for any acidity. The Caesar salad has to be one of the best I've ever had--it honestly had the punch of lemony boquerones. If you truly love anchovies, I highly recommend ordering it with some extra anchovies! Lastly, the pasta was just as expected, but it was still delicious! Pro tip if you order the salmon piccata: dip the pasta in the lemon and white wine sauce--you'll thank me later!

What a special place in what feels like the middle of no where. A house on a street that is inside…read morea cozy, lovely restaurant. Even in the middle of winter, reservations were needed. Upon entering they will take your coats ( if you have them) service was great The ambience is low key, an intimate feeling. Selection of dishes check boxes for classic Italian. I love how you can choose your side pasta and kind of sauce with the entrée. That is a special touch worth going just for that. You are charged for sharing but they offer side and salad with the extra charge. Not unreasonable in my opinion. The bread brought out was delicious. Felt the marinara was a little salty for the eggplant But certainly not inedible. A nearby table had ordered mussels and the smell did carry over to us so a sensitivity to that could be an issue . Dessert The Tiramisu was fabulous. I actually liked the texture as you could taste every component. Usually soggy lady fingers which can taste great but here they kept their structure I felt making it stand out . Wonderful flavors. Parking is one way and could be icy in the lot. Well lit though. Worth the drive!

Friday, 8/7/26 ordered the veal scallopini. This was one of our favorite places in Frankfort but…read morenot anymore. Paid over $106 for the two of us and it was vey disappointing. The veal was two 3" long pieces, burnt and crisp on the edges and tough beyond words. The mozzarella on top was not melted and only 3/4" in size. (no exaggeration). The pasta had 7 small slices of mushrooms on top and some shaved parmesan. It had absolutely NO mushroom marsala sauce anywhere on the plate, no seasoning and the pasta was overcooked and unsalted. Thought we just had it wrong so didn't speak up but on the way home, looked up the menu and realized the chef is the one who got it wrong, not us. Won't be back.

This was delicious and perfectly prepared rare with a chat. The risotto gravy was a bit rich for me. I would have loved a steak sauce but enjoyed adding lemon butter.

The ambiance is nice and quiet. Our server Craig was really nice and attentive. We have heard so much about the restaurant from friends and also from all the lists so maybe our expectation was set too high. We liked our food but we weren't blown away. The highlight of our meal was probably the foie gras and the caprese salad. The wild boar tenderloin came in second and I wasn't really impressed with the rainbow trout, the fish itself wasn't very flavorful. Overall I'm glad we were able to experience the restaurant, maybe we'll try it another day with a different menu.

We walked in on a Friday night where it was already very busy. The hostess was kind enough to squeeze me, my husband and my son at some bar seats after a short wait. We sat at the bar with Jake and he was great. Attentive but not obtrusive. He made good recommendations and made polite conversation. We started with the cheesy garlic bread and while that sounds like a pretty basic dish, it was fantastic. My kid loved it so much, he ordered some to-go take back to the hotel for a snack. My son had the pizza and my husband had the alfredo. Both loved their meals. I had their lemon chicken pasta dish and it was the best thing I've eaten in a long time. The chicken was braised and fall apart, packed with complex flavors. The homemade pasta soaks up the delicious sauce. The lemon made the dish bright and flavorful. If we had stayed in Traverse City for any longer, we would have gone to eat here every single day. If we come back, this will definitely be a place we visit again. Thank you for the great meal!!

We sat at the bar which was staffed by two very efficient bartenders who did it all. It was nice to be able to see right through to the kitchen from the bar. Really enjoyed the mussel special (not sure if this is always on the menu). The prosciutto fig salad was quite good too but a very small serving size for two people to share as an appetizer. The crostini served with the burrata was very tasty and crispy. The best dish was the fettuccine which has pork ragu and fresh parmesan. This was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. I only wish there were just a couple more noodles because the amount of meat was very generous. If you're deciding between here and the other Italian place also at the Commons (I don't think I can say it by name) I would actually recommend PepeNero's over that one!!!!
