    Just a tad too expensive for pasta dinners, but food was decent and service was good.
    La Sorella di FrancescaResponded on April 22, 2025
    Thank you for your feed back... we try to keep our Quality at its highest level and our portions at a good value here at La Sorella.. with rising cost for food, beverage and Labor unfortunately we must transfer a bit of that to our consumers or we would have to close our doors.. after 30 years we certainly cant do that ... please ask for me when you return I will be sure to take care of you Donny G GM
