A word from Piazza Sorrento
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.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Enjoyed our great meal, the waiter was outstanding, and we will be back!"
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "This restaurant was recommended to us by a Hershey resident during a visit to Elizabethtown. What a find! Definitely worth the 20 min drive. The food was delicious and our waitress was just lovely. Helpful but not intrusive. Recommend anything with seafood and definitely ask to hear the specials.I had a bacon-wrapped shrimp special as an appetizer, but should have had the entree to eat more of the sauce over pasta. Crab and tortellini had lots of crab, and the halibut special was delicious. Save room for the desserts made in-house - especially the ricotta cake. Very noisy at peak times. We saw many pizza boxes, so next time we will try one. Don't be dismayed by the fact that is next to a Turkey Hill store - this is a great restaurant."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "We arrived well before our reservation time and they were still able to accommodate us. The food was excellent and priced right. It was a bit noisy because were put in an "overflow" area and there was a large group with kids on the other side of a sliding partition."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Every bite was delicious. I really can't wait to go back and try something else!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Extensive gf menu..made this a perfect choice for me and my wife..appetizers very generous portions, she loved the garlic shrimp, unfortunately very slow service had to eat salads first and entrees came right after, also even with reservations had to wait, overall great food could improve service"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "An excellent fine dining experience in the Hershey area. Food is always delicious and servers are very knowledgeable about providing recommendations."

  • "great local spot with terrific homemade Italian food."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "For a Thursday night, the place was packed, and I know why. Food was great and worth any wait you may encounter."
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "Excellent full gluten free menu! Wait staff is well trained and all plates are marked GF. Bread, pizza, pasta, and grain free dishes available. Dairy free could be a challenge because this is an Italian restaurant so call ahead and the chef will work with you. No wait and no rushing at Piazza Sorrentos!"
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. I ordered from the gluten-free menu. It was very clear that they take food allergies seriously. Everything I had was completely delicious (meat lovers gluten-free pizza, salad, and gluten-free tiramisu for dessert). The wine was delicious, and a nice big glass for the money."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Delicious food - entrees, appetizers and bread very good. Salad fine but nothing special. Good desserts but some favorites not available."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "The quality of the entree and the wine selection was excellent. The ambiance and the waiter were bad. We were seated off of the main dining area in a sun-room extension. Lighting was horrible and harsh. Table was severely undersized. The waiter while obviously trying, was not very efficient. Long wait for our wine. Ordered ceaser salads and although requested he forgot to come back with ground pepper or extra grated Parmesan. Would not come back again unless part of a larger party, and would not accept seating in the same area. Need to upgrade the area. When we arrived at our scheduled time, with a delay while there appeared to be a lot of discussion from the hostesses regarding where or how we were going to be seated."

  • "We were told about Piazza Sorrento by friends and we are so glad we listened to their advice to dine here!!! The food was excellent!! The service was excellent!!! This will definitely be a new favorite regular restaurant of ours!! The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. And I cannot say enough about the food!!!!"
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "The Butternut Squash Ravioli in Almond Liquor Sauce and Italian Ham is now one of my personal all-time favorite dishes. The salad selection and deserts are amazing as well. I also recommend the Troeg's draft beer. Its a great IPA (or at least taste like an IPA)."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "Lovely family meal. Food was excellent. Somewhat slow coming out of the kitchen, but we enjoyed the company."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "The food was very good and the price was right. The snapper was done perfect and the ravioli was great."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "We did the specialty pizzas again and once more they were delicious. Coupled with a cup of chicken,rice,corn soup and a glass of chianti it was the perfect (for us) meal on a cold, snow covered night. Once again we were greatly pleased with the food and the service."
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The pasta is outstanding! I had a Lobster Llinguini that was out of this world. My hubby had Eggplant Parmesan that was the best he's ever had. Our friends had Lobster Ravioli and loved it. The price is excellent for this homemade deliciousness! We will return!!"
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We have been here several times and it never disappoints. The food is cooked fresh and delicious. A favorite of ours we were in Hershey"
    Dined on 12/23/2013

  • "This was our third time at piazza sorrento for Christmas Eve dinner and, as in the past, we had a great time. The food was fantastic and the service friendly. We will be going back to continue with what is becoming a family tradition."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "Very nice atmosphere which is unexpected! Décor was sophisticated and modern and chic!! . Menu was great! Service was excellent! The salads were especially good, as were the brick oven pizzas! The sausage was less hot/true Italian, but the penne pasta was perfect! We would definitely return! Our young man server was very personable and knew the menu well!"
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "Found this place online looking for somewhere new to go. Turned out to be the best meal we have had in a very long time. We will definitely be back. Spent a little more than planned but was totally worth it."
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "Wow, the butternut squash ravioli with walnuts, almond liquor and ham was amazing! We even had the Caprese Salad (very out of season in December) and it was incredible. I cannot wait to take my family back. Congrats Piazza Sorrento you are my new favorite!"
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "Third time here... food is fantastic. My first time sitting in the main dining area -- I much prefer the romantic spots on the enclosed patio. Will keep on our dining circuit!"
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "My family (kids & grandkids) and I, ate at this restaurant last Dec and the service & food was much better last year. Even though we had a reservation we still had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated, which is hard to do in a crowded restaurant with a 20 month old. Two of the dishes ordered were good, however the other 2 were Not good, under cooked eggplant and the other was overloaded with garlic. One of the appetizers showed 6 pieces of bread but we were only brought 4 pieces, we had to to insist the menu indicated 6 pieces, eventually we were brought the additional pieces. Overall everything was ok, but it was much better last year, maybe they were having an off night."
    Dined on 12/7/2013
  • "We had made a reservation to allow us 1hr and 45 minutes to eat before going to a concert. We arrived on time and still waited 30 minutes to be seated. After being seated it was 40 minutes before we received our drinks and an additional 15 minutes before we received our salads. After sitting for an hour and still not receiving our entrees, we left so we wouldn't miss the concert. We were repeatedly told by employees that "we are short staffed.""
    Dined on 12/7/2013
  • "This was our first time at Piazza Sorento. Pleasantly surprised. Reservation was on time, food was great and service was great. We will be back again in the near future."
    Dined on 12/7/2013
  • "They have the best gluten free menu my daughter has seen for an Italian restaurant. She loved the great bread (really tasted like the "real deal") and great textured/taste pasta to go along with the always great sauces."
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "Normally my wife and I go here for a complete dinner. However,this week we wanted to try their specialty pizza. What an absolute treat. We started with soup - pastafazool and minestrone. Both tasty, filled with great ingredients and perfect starters. Then came the pizza. My wife had the upside down pizza and I had a margarita. Perfect crust, thin and crisp, great sauce on the old world and a generous combination of Roma tomatoes and basil on the margarita. A totally delightful pizza night experience. The regular menu is excellent and the pizza menu is too. Well worth going there. The service is wonderful with caring and friendly servers."
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "I had the chicken parmigiana, which is always very filling and tasty! My husband had the spaghetti with meatballs and was disappointed with the small portion, as was my mom with the gnocchi. Everyone agreed that the food was very tasty, just some of the portions were smaller than what they had expected."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "Our family really enjoys coming to this restaurant. They do not compromise on quality, nearly all of the dishes are made from scratch right in their kitchen. The service is consistently outstanding. They also have one of the best gluten-free menus anywhere, a notable wine list and several popular beers available to select from. I grew up in an Italian family and coming to this restaurant reminds me of my whole family gathering around my great-grandmother's dining room table on a Sunday afternoon in the coal region for a full course Italian meal. When you come to this restaurant, from the minute you walk through the door to the minute that you leave, they make you feel like family."
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "We held an informal business meeting (3 people) over lunch and experienced outstanding service, very high quality food and very reasonable prices. Each of us had a great meal and did not feel rushed or interrupted unnecessarily. The restaurant had a very friendly atmosphere and the menu, including desserts, made it difficult to choose between some great food options. I would definitely return."
    Dined on 11/19/2013
  • "Piazza Sorrento is always a good place for simple well-prepared Italian cuisine, Their pizzas are chewy and well-flavored, and they also feature some excellent pasta dishes."
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "My fiancé and I were on vacation and tried this place! Was amazing! Great food and service! We will be back!!!"
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "Fortunately this was not our first visit to this restaurant. We waited almost 20 minutes after our reservation time before taking a table in the bar. Then, the waiter was overwhelmed and we waited again for him to arrive. It took so long that we asked the hostess to find him for us. Other than that, it was great. The food is authentic Italian and delicious. While the wine list is not long, it offers a good variety of wines. If you plan to go on a busy night, make a reservation and hope for the best!"
    Dined on 11/8/2013
  • "Piazza Sorrento does not dissappoint. We visited specifically for the extensive gluten free menu which is always delicious from the appetizers to the dessert! Definitely caters to the special diet needs of those on a gluten free diet and are very knowledgeable. We dined with our children as well and they had a good menu to accomodate them as well. Delicious as always."
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • "Really good food. Kids Menu had some nice options. My wife had the Gnocchi and it was delicious! i had the eggplant appetizer and it too was incredible! some others in our party had the Pizza and it too was very good. overall great experience."
    Dined on 11/3/2013
  • "This is our 5th time at this establishment during the weekend of the PIAA XC state championships. We choose this restaurant due to its ambience and really good italian food. In the past we had great and accommodating service. This year, with a 7 pm reservation we waited until 7:45 and then self chose to split our party up and have half of them sit at the bar and then another group sit at a 2 seat bar table. While, once again, the food was great what is the purpose of getting reservations when coming from out of town to not have the reservation recognized which ultimately affected the quality of our experience with our party since we had to split them up."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "The appetizer spinach arancini rice balls served with a rich, thick marinara sauce were divine and "Oh, so Italian." Even the recommended wines or the house wines were enjoyable and available by the glass, so it was easy to pair a wine with a particular dish. The risotto with flecks of fresh parsley was memorable served with broiled salmon and tomato butter. The tastes were distinctive but melted together in a fresh richness. Food presentation on the plate, excellent table service, and the quality of the freshly prepared food, authentically Italian, will keep us going back. The owners are delightful many times visiting diners at their tables, the staff well trained; this is a quality operation you shouldn't miss,"
