   The most creative Italian food with the best prices, best service, best menu, best ambiance, etc.etc. We will definitely be back, and will be bringing friends too. I almost never give perfect scores, but this was perfect.

   The service was great and we loved the hamachi crudo appetizer. Yummy drinks. But my branzino was not great or worth the price. It had crushed peanuts on top which was overpowering and not the best flavor combo for fish. I thought it sounded worth a try but I wouldn’t get it again. I think they deviated too far from what works with branzino.

   The dining chairs are too hard to sit on for a 2+ hour meal. They are quite uncomfortable. Staff very friendly but a bit too over attentive. Too many questions. Rushed us a bit. I felt on a clock. Food was excellent. The star of the experience. Pasta top notch. Drinks very well done. Like most places there’s variability in seatings. Booths are awesome. Tables by the window and opposite the booths are good. Bar seats are pretty fun if you are solo or want to grab a quick bite with someone (but not linger). Then there are 3 oddly located tables next to the waiter station and in front of the kitchen. These feel uncomfortably located a bit in the middle of nowhere (where we sat). If I booked again I would request “not” one of these tables.

    The hostess was very friendly and made us feel very special (it was our anniversary). The table staff seemed a little inexperienced and had to go back to check on several questions we asked about the food/wine. They did give us complimentary glasses of Prosecco with dessert for our anniversary celebration. Very thoughtful. We had already finished off a bottle of wine and were enjoying Cappuccino so we were not able to enjoy those. Food Diary.. RIZE UP OG SOURDOUGH – It came room temp. They warmed it up at our request. WARM PARMESAN BUDINO – A cheese souffle – Very light and airy with a strong parmesan taste. Recommend SWISS CHARD MALFATTI – A little on the rich side for me, but the flavor was nice. CRISPY BRANZINO – It was a fillet (not a whole fish). Very light. The braised greens were yummy.. BOURBON CARAMEL SEMIFREDDO – Did not finish it. The dessert has to be really good, otherwise it is just empty calories. Wish I had ordered the Pavlova.

    Everything was wonderful about this dining experience except one detail, which I think should be conveyed to the owner. The lighting in this restaurant is not good....it is the wrong type of lighting for dining. Everyone looks terrible, including the food which is excellent quality + it's hard on the eyes. Spending time with a lighting consultant who could guide you to the ideal lighting would be ideal. People do respond to a lighting quality that feels good....even if they are not sure why...subconsciously, it makes people want to be there and return. We will return, but try to sit at the bar, which looks like it might be better....

    Sorella is my absolute new favorite in San Francisco. I ate there two times in a week! Denise is an incredible chef and Sean manages the house like no one else. They are both, along with their team, incredible. I look forward to next time!

    Reservation at 7:30pm and got seated 10 minutes after. Was celebrating a birthday and they didnt do anything for that even though 3 tables away a table got theirs. Food was good. Rabbit ragu one was mediocre. Good food. Service was very good, as they were constantly switching out fresh clean dining wear. Only complaint was timeliness of reservation and the birthday celebration.

    Sexind flawless experience in a row. The food is inventive yet comfortable and always perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Cocktails are quite well done. The service is always top notch too—attentive and makes you feel appreciated and special without being obsequious or precious. Exactly what a solid restaurant should be. Dining room is well done but could use a tiny bit more art, it feels a bit underdressed. Noise level is surprisingly decent despite the design and potential for echoey reverberations.

    We had a casual datenight at Sorella. We showed up 20 mins early and luckily got seated right away. We ordered two pasta dishes (Squid ink linguini with lobster and potato gnocchi with duck ragu) and a side of roasted cauliflower with anchovy. The ingredients in each dish seem very decent and the food overall was delicious, the serving side is decent and not too overwhelming large and the individual dishes are very tasty without being too heavy. Overall it was a very pleasant casual dinner over really delicious. Highly recommended.

    I called to confirm our reservation. But we were late (5-10mins over the time limit). At first they said that our table was given away. The receptionist girl went in to get the manager out & eventually they arranged another table for us. Food was great, we all enjoyed it.

    Our new fav restaurant! I highly recommend drink Pearadiso (rum, pear, cinnamon), short ribs in pillow-like pasta and semifreddo for dessert. Yummy! Fun decor and holiday music. Food and drinks are great all year long! This was our second time. Can’t wait to come back to try other items on the menu. Great service too!
