Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend and
Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend and it was quite disappointing. A year ago we came here for the first time and we absolutely loved it. The ricotta strangulet was some of the best pasta I've ever had but when we went it tasted nothing like how we remembered. The sauce was super watery with no flavor and the pine nuts didn't stand out like last year. Was really bland and didn't taste that good. We also ordered the egg yolk tonnarelli but the server misheard and gave us the corn agnolotti which had a piece of hair in it. She offered to give us a fresh dish but we didn't need that much food. At the end I realized it wasn't what we ordered and when I told the server she said that the egg yolk tonnarelli was sold out for the night and misheard what we ordered. She gave us dessert for free but the affogato was sour so it wasn't even worth it. I would say the hostess was very nice and offered us free bubbly at the end when we told her about our disappointing experience but we had plans after so we couldn't stay longer. Maybe we caught them on an off day but I don't think we will be returning for a while.

16.2024 (sooo late post) I made a reservation for my husband's birthday. He wanted to try a new spot and after some research we chose this place. The hostess was super nice, wished my husband a happy birthday and sat us in a booth overseeing the restaurant. Super cool! The waitress took note of my allergy and the kitchen staff were amazingly accommodating which is absolutely amazing! We ordered: -Steamed mussels; no cheese and substituted the sauce with a white wine based one. The freshness of the mussels shined through the fatty and salty taste of the ham. Absolutely delicious! -Saffron Corzetti; the lobster was cooked perfectly. The sweetness of the lobster complimented the herbs and pasta perfectly! A very light and fresh dish. I completely forgot the name of the beef dish ordered. But it was yummy. The dish was a little heavier. But flavorful. The desserts were not overly sweet and completed the meal. I will be back!
Be the first to ReplyPortions were really small relative to the price points.
Usually we order 3 pasta dishes between two people as a benchmark but it was nowhere near enough here
Be the first to ReplyWhat a night.
.. the server Johnny, was amazing. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was attentive, and came with a great sense of humor. Great hire and it would be a shame if y'all ever gave him up. Keep in mind this was my first time here and what an impression he left on my family, will be back soon again. Thank you Johnny and thank you Sorella.
Be the first to ReplyKinda confused on the high ratings here.
.. Went for a friend's birthday and the drinks were pretty good. Waited over 40-45 minutes for our food & noticed everyone in the restaurant also didn't have their food yet? When the food came out (we all ordered pastas) it was kinda disappointing. The food portions are small, flavor was mild and super high prices for what it is.. the restaurant does have a nice ambiance on the inside.
Be the first to ReplyHad this place on my list and finally decided to go.
Nice ambiance, simple but warming decor. Good selection of cocktails based on amaros which I really appreciated. I got the Non your nonna's spritz. Fantastic, the peppercorns and rosemary gave it an extra I really enjoyed. The potato and leek focaccia. Couldn't taste the leek. I guess it was made with potato cornstarch. Normal focaccia, nothing special about it. Artichoke and Stracciatella. A yummy veggie garden too pretty to eat. I was expecting more artichokes but still enjoyed it. Drunken Mafaldine. Pasta was cooked al dente. Tasty sauce. For dessert, I had the warm Almond torta with Torrone ice cream. Strawberries in the center, nice surprise. Only found it a little bit sweet for my taste and needed more Mint leaves to balance it but it was delicious. Also, maybe I felt it like that because of my drink. I tried the buttermilk Pannacotta my partner ordered. Silky, made with vanilla beans. Strawberries not too sweet. I found the crumble too salty. I will never understand why Americans love salt in their desserts haha. The restroom is BEAUTIFUL and super clean. It has a fancy liquid soap and wallpaper with oranges, lemons and birds. Service was efficient and nice. Very welcoming. I'm glad I gave it a try.

Date of Visit: 4/24/2024 Finally got the chance to visit Sorella located on Polk and Washington Street! There are many restaurants and bars in the area, and also some cute bakeries and cafes too! Our reservation is on a Wednesday evening at around 6:15pm, and by the time we got there, there is still $1 Happy Hour at the bar! We ordered 1 dozen oysters to share among the four of us. After the oyster happy hour, we were sat at the table for dinner. Moris Farms, Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2011 $77 I picked the 2011 Italian red wine, with mostly Sangiovese, and a blend of Cabernet and Merlot. The tannin and structure were subtle, which was a nice wine to pair with seafood and spaghetti. Scallop Crudo $21 The scallop crudo was seasoned with Asian pear, Buddhas hand, and lime. Very refreshing! Warm Parmesan Budino $20 The cute egg yolk pudding with truffle-hazelnut vinaigrette, and asparagus on the side was good too! Grilled Asparagus $18 For the vegetable, we got the grilled asparagus. It was topped with pickled ramp gribiche and crispy garlic breadcrumb. Egg Yolk Tonnarelli $38 This is my favorite dish of the night! Tonnarelli mixed with egg yolk sauce and sansho pepper, on top there were fresh Santa Barbara sea urchin and salmon roe. Drunken Mafaldine $32 The Mafaldine and beef cheek ragú braised in red wine, and with burrata on the top was great too! Superior Lamb Porterhouse $48 For the main course, we ordered the medium rare lamb porterhouse. On top there were roasted pepper-walnut sauce and olive tape-nade. And on the side was decorated with some crispy marble potatoes. Che Bello $21 Before dessert, we ordered this cocktail that was made with bourbon, aperol, and vecchio amaro del capo. Mixed with angostura amaro, lemon, and egg whites on top. Overall it is very tart with texture, Paired well with tiramisu! Malted Tiramisu $15 For dessert of the night, we picked the malted tiramisu with espresso genoise, malted chocolate, and mascarpone mousse. Creamy and Yummy too!
Be the first to ReplyPasta portions are ridiculously small.
Asked the waiter for a recommendation and he described a dish as 'rich' and when it arrived it had shellfish which I don't eat (thank goodness I don't have an allergy or it might have been a night in ER). I sent the dish back explaining that I didn't know this had shellfish and the waiter took a very combative attitude and still tried to charge us for the dish.
Be the first to ReplyI recently visited Sorella, an Italian restaurant focused
I recently visited Sorella, an Italian restaurant focused on pasta, and my experience was mixed. While the pasta was good, it was also quite pricey, and didn't quite live up to the best pasta I've had. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, with a cozy and intimate feel, and the service was friendly and attentive. The menu was focused on pasta dishes, with a variety of options available, but I felt like the offerings were somewhat limited. The pasta itself was good but I didn't find it to be exceptional or standout in any particular way. Additionally, the prices were on the high side for the portion sizes offered. While the food was good overall, I couldn't help feeling like there were other Italian restaurants in the area that offered more value for the money. It's worth a visit, but there are better options out there.
Be the first to ReplyPretty mediocre for the price.
Also found hair in my food. Staff was rude--there are better Italian restaurants on Polk
Be the first to ReplyMy boyfriend and I walked here on Saturday night for date
My boyfriend and I walked here on Saturday night for date night. We walked in around 645 and were able to get two seats at the bar no problem. It was busy but cozy at the same time, loved the upscale deco diner vibes. All the food was very solid. I wouldn't say anything was AMAZING but everything was solid and we will definitely be coming back for a consistent reliable meal. We ordered the fried olives, duck gnocchi, chicory salad (too bitter the ratio was a bit off), sourdough (it was served cold which threw me off lol), oyster (yum!), dessert. Can't wait to come back.
Be the first to ReplyCame here for dinner with friends when I was in the area.
I found most of the food we ordered overall to be enjoyable and would recommend Sorella for their delicious pasta dishes and excellent service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had excellent knowledge of the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also warm and welcoming. There were a couple of dishes that didn't quite hit the mark for me such as the dry-aged beef timballo which I was eager to try but was disappointed by how dry the pasta and beef were. The other dish that I wasn't too fond of was the veal tartare, as the taste and texture didn't quite hit the right notes for my palate.All the other dishes we tried were great. A couple highlights were the crudo hiramasa which was a refreshing appetizer, and the cocoa tortellini was perfectly cooked and the red miso butter paired well with it.
Be the first to ReplyWe came here for a birthday dinner on a Sunday evening.
Parking seems like it could be tough in the Polk Street/Nob Hill area, but we were fortunate and got street parking right away.The hostess seated us right away even though we were 5-10 minutes early.The restaurant architecture has a retro vibe but the dining setting is more modern. It works well.The restaurant seems to be a popular date spot as there were many couples seated at the bar. The waitress and busboys were efficient and friendly. For food, we got the meatballs, calamari, dry aged beef timballo, duck, and bourbon caramel semifreddo. I loved all the food, but hated the beef timballo. It was overdone and flavorless. It reminded me of chef boyardee's beef ravioli in lasagna form. It was not worth almost $30. The duck was my favorite. The flavor profiles are spot on and made me think of a nice thanksgiving dinner. I would recommend coming here to try the food at least once, but I probably won't be coming back because of the price point of the food and the timballo. Service 5/5Ambiance 5/5 Food 3/5

I was between 1 and 2, but one of the dishes made my partner and I feel sick which really isn't acceptable for a $150 dinner. Food was super hit or miss. The sea urchin pasta was pretty tasty, but the agnolotti was the worst thing either of us had eaten in years. It tasted like cat food.... the pasta was seriously overcooked, it was in a super bland gravy with tiny diced carrots on the top, and it tasted off (like it was cooked in rancid oil perhaps). The cocoa tortelli was meh. Just super bland and tasted primarily of butter. Service was very friendly, and they took off the agnolotti but we're just really stunned this place has such great reviews. There's so many excellent Italian restaurants in SF. Do yourself a favor and go to Penny Roma, Cotogna, even the Italian Homemade company for good pasta.

I came to Sorella last night for dinner because of all the good reviews. We made a reservation at 9:30 and it was pretty packed. there was a decent selection of cocktails and long list of wines- our waiter recommended an orange one which was so tasty! I was a bit disappointed by the pasta. We ordered the potato gnocchi and short rib pasta. Both were not too flavorful in my opinion, we even asked for some chili flakes to add some flavor. Maybe we should've gotten another pasta, or it was an off night. I did enjoy the service and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Might try it again if I'm in the area.
Be the first to ReplyIf you like flavor it's a no-go.
I read a couple of reviews raving about the squid ink pasta and it was average at best.I really wonder what some of you have ever eaten if this is that delicious to you... It's not bad but it's just not worth the price. Sorry.
Be the first to ReplyService was outstanding.
Waiter was charming. Food beautifully presented but I have to say that it was all under seasoned. Veal tartare was without flavor, sad to say. The vegetables needed salt. The pasta had tiny bits of lobster and was basically tasteless. The malted vanilla gelato was not malted. I expected much more.
Be the first to ReplyI'm always on the lookout for great Italian restaurants,
I'm always on the lookout for great Italian restaurants, and Sorella is a bit of a hidden gem. We started off with the meatballs, which were incredibly tender and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning. The marinara sauce was also well-balanced and complemented the meatballs perfectly. That said, the squid ink linguini was definitely the star of the show. The pasta was cooked to perfection and had a unique, slightly salty taste thanks to the squid ink. The sauce was rich and flavorful, with a nice hint of spice. The dish was topped with perfectly cooked shrimp and calamari, which added a delicious seafood flavor to the mix. It was clear that the chef uses high-quality ingredients and puts a lot of care into the preparation of this dish.They have a great selection of red wine and the waiter recommended a nice Chianti, which paired perfectly with my pasta and meatballs. The wine had a nice balance of fruit and acidity and was incredibly smooth.Overall, a great experience that I would definitely recommend.
Be the first to ReplyHello, gorgeous!Nice entry, welcoming hosts confirm
Hello, gorgeous!Nice entry, welcoming hosts confirm reservation and promptly seated. One menu has food and drinks, and cocktails. The other menu is the wine list. Both are 2 sided. Ergo, a nice cellar.Of course it is, this is a sister to Acquerello, a nearby haute cuisine restaurant. The food menu is classic Italian. And chock full of some wonderful sounding dishes. The web page menu is currently different. What is on offer will tempt anyone.For us, oysters. Such oysters. We ordered another round while we ate the focaccia. Cocktails are great, as are the wines by the glass. Crudo was amazing, veal tartare excellent, sea urchin pasta was the star of the secondi, and the timballo was uber satisfying.There was so much more to enjoy but for another time. Excellent, engaging and attentive service from all staff. Our waiter was great. This place is great.See you again, sister!Enjoy!
Be the first to ReplyHad been wanting to try the sister restaurant to Michelin
Had been wanting to try the sister restaurant to Michelin started Acquerello, Sorella ever since moving to San Francisco. Got to spend my Valentine's day eating a meal here as my first experience at Sorella.First, I'll say the interior of the restaurant is stunning. Long bar, booth seating with warm, twinkly lighting. There was a prefixed Valentine's menu of cured salmon crudo, meyer lemon campanelle, lamb neck porchetta style, and malted tiramisu or pavlova with yogurt sorbet to end with a dessert. Our server kindly told us that we were able to order drinks and that the only decision we had to make was dessert and the rest was to be taken care of. I ordered a Sorella Sour and it was a nice cocktail. A percentage went to charity.We were given a "chef's surprise" which was like a fried potato with caviar -- nice touch. Salmon was really delicious with the salmon roe on top and grape skin. King crab was incredibly moist and soft with the campanelle. Not a huge fan of the lamb, but I really enjoyed the saffron potatoes it came with. Finally, the dessert was truly phenomenal. Probably my favorite part of the meal. Malted tiramisu was so good I couldn't stop eating & the pavlova was a very unique texture! Personally, I wish that we were given the option to order menu items as I was looking to get their pastas mostly, but this was still a wonderful experience. Food was delicious and we were attended to by many -- from our server, to the employees asking us how everything was tasting, to the person who came out with a candle on the tiramisu for my birthday.Would love to come back again to try their regular menu.

This restaurant is special! The cocktails, food, vibe and service...amazing! I will be back for sure.
Be the first to Reply4.5 starsFor some reason Sorella completely evaded my radar
4.5 starsFor some reason Sorella completely evaded my radar when it opened, so I wasn't really expecting much when I went there for dinner. But everything we got ended up being excellent - definitely need to go back to check out their cicchetti. We got: Warm Parmesan budino with grilled asparagus, truffle, hazelnut, brown butter crumble ($18) - Don't miss this. I dislike cheese and I still liked this. It's got such an amazing almost panna cotta like texture that melts in your mouth, imparting just the right bit of cheesiness that pairs with the acidic dressing. And somehow miraculously doesn't feel too heavy. Potato leek focaccia ($6) - Fluffy focaccia, good choice if you like to start your meal with bread.Grilled calamari 'diavolicchio' with prawn, scallop, 'nduja sausage, zucchini, mint ($22) - So so so good. I loved the balsamic sauce, and the squid was so tender. The stuffing adding a nice punch of flavor to the squid as well.Bourbon caramel semifreddo ($15) - Desserts here are pretty pricy - this was tasty but something about the texture / flavor of the semifreddo was too rich and I ended up not being able to finish more than a few bites. Portions lean on the smaller size here, luckily I wasn't too hungry but would err on the end of ordering multiple dishes per person next time.
Be the first to ReplyGreat menu selection, I would say this place feels more
Great menu selection, I would say this place feels more like an "new-italian" type of place (very unique menu).Starting off with when would be a great time to visit Sorella:This place is very aesthetic and would make a great date place or a small group type of dinner (they have most seatings between 2-6 people). We made a reservation because it's a new place that would get booked up pretty quickly. I went with a group of 3 and we love trying different types of food so we primarily shared all the dishes.Now let's talk about the food:Rize Up OG Sourdough -- We started with the sourdough because we were starving. The dip was delicious and the sourdough was also good.Kusshi Oyster -- I personally didn't eat the oyster, my friends did and they said it was good but a little small.Egg Yolk Tonnarelli -- This was probably my favorite dish. The dish wasn't too fishy despite having uni & caviar in it. It was really well balanced and made for a great app.We weren't too excited about the secondi, so we ended up getting 2 primis. We also get the Short Rib Anolotti and this was the dish that ended up filling us up.They have an interesting alcohol selection so we ended up getting different cocktails. Overall, the food was good and it was pretty obvious that the wait staff was pretty new. They made some sharp jokes and dropped some utensils on my friend.

Service was horrible. They were more interested in turning the table than in a good dining experience. We expected better from a Michelin rated restaurant. Food was average. Our waiter was rude. Nelson was the only nice person in the bunch. Not going back and certainly not recommending

Spent the last couple of weeks in San Francisco, and I am sure glad I went to Sorella.Everything about the experience was perfect. The service was excellent, they answered everything, made incredible recommendations and did not steer us wrong. Super attentive. The food was wonderful. Everything was delicious, but the English pea cappellacci was our favorite. Short rib agnolotti was pretty rich, but very tasty. Budino was a highlight as well. Finished off with a great amari flight. We will return.
