About this restaurant

Gluten-free-friendly
Good for special occasions
Charming

Voted "Best New Restaurant" by Harrisburg Magazine in 2009, Piazza Sorrento is a modern Italian restaurant based on the "Old World" Italian recipes of the owner's family back in Italy. The Bolognese sauce they grew up on and the tradition of family is the cornerstone of the Piazza Sorrento dining experience. Dedicated to providing the finest in service, food, and wine at a fair and competitive price, Piazza Sorrento makes regional and classic Italian cuisine using premium local ingredients while keeping the history of the dish and region intact.

Piazza Sorrento not only provides the best in authentic Italian cooking this side of the Atlantic, but also believes that all patrons, whether adults or children, should be welcomed like one big family - even those with certain dietary requirements. That is why Piazza Sorrento is widely known for their extensive Gluten Free menu, another reason patrons routinely drive over an hour or more to dine in relative ease and safety.

Seating is awkward. With all the tables along the wall, they chose to seat all incoming parties at the uncomfortable tables where multiple parties had to ask to switch tables. Crab dip is dismal. Presentation looks like a can of cat food, tastes like the crab version of tuna salad, was painful to have paid $20 for it. “Homemade pasta” was thin, watery & with sauce that tasted jarred. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately this was a waste of time and money.

My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, it was special. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the meal was quite good. We started with the New England Clam Chowder and a caprese salad. Both were very good with the basalmic vinegar tangy and sweet. I had the sausage and penne and my wife had the salmon with risotto. The sauce on my penne was very tasty with just right zest. The sausage had not been cooked in sauce, and thus, lacked the same taste I would have expected, but it was still very good. My wife meal was very good by her standard and so a nice evening was enjoyed. Suggest providing EVOO with bread for dipping instead of just butter.

The food was very good - especially given the price which was below what some comparable Italian restaurants might charge. The server was extremely attentive and made sure we were never needing something. Service was prompt and we moved timely from appetizer/salad to entree. We left well satisfied without room for dessert. Would go back again as this was the first time.

One of our all time favorites! You can never go wrong here. The food and service is always top notch. Make sure you make a reservation though, because your cancels of showing up without one and getting a seat are rough. Last nights dinner was no exception. Wonderful as always. A special shout out to our server, Roma. She was fantastic and really capped off the evening. Go here. You will not be disappointed.
