Welcome to Sorellas: An Italian Eatery

“ We originally had reservations at a sister restaurant of Sorella’s on 12/30 but our group grew and they were unable to accommodate us. Sorella’s was recommended and with a quick call, they had a table waiting for us. The table was perfect for the six of us, a banquette. It provided a cozy atmosphere and comfortable seating. We arrived during their Happy Hour, which featured a tasty selection of appetizers and reasonably priced drinks and entrees. Everything ordered was perfectly prepared and enjoyed by all. Most notable was our server Tetyana. What a gem is this young lady! She’s well versed with the menu was very animated and cognizant of everything at our table, ensuring drinks were replenished and our meals tasty. Our dinner experience for the 6 of us consisted of well drinks, wine, bruschetta, Caesar salad, fritto misto, chicken Parmesan sliders, mafaldine, arancini, spaghetti, and baked lumache. No room for dessert. We all left well sated and had a most enjoyable evening. ”

“ My husband and I went to Sorella’s for a nice dinner without the kids, and this place did not disappoint. From the romantic atmosphere to the wonderful service from our server, Daniela, it was a perfect choice for a relaxing night out. The bread served before the meal was warm, toasted to perfection, and paired with a delicious dipping oil. We started with the bruschetta, which had a wonderful balance of flavors—creamy ricotta, salty prosciutto, sweet fig jam, and vibrant pesto. While it was tasty, it didn’t quite match what I’d typically expect from a bruschetta, especially since the bread on the table was actually more toasted than the bread used for the appetizer. For our mains, my husband really enjoyed his chicken parmesan, and my lumache pasta with short rib was outstanding—full of rich flavor and with melt-in-your-mouth tender meat. We managed to save room for dessert, sharing a cannoli with a silky-smooth, orange-kissed filling inside a crisp shell, accented with chocolate and pistachio. I paired it with an espresso that leaned a bit on the bitter side but was still enjoyable, especially with the two petite biscotti served alongside. It was the perfect spot to enjoy one of our last dinners on vacation, and if we find ourselves back in Virginia Beach, I can absolutely see us returning. ”

“ Celebrated our company’s Holiday party for the group in Virginia Beach. Vincent, Sorella’s manager made sure everything was as we requested. We started off with Prosecco and the brochette and meat and cheese platter. We then ordered off the menu which was lovely as everyone could get what they wanted. I had the scallops special for the day and it was delicious. Others enjoyed the Ravioli, the veal chop, the chicken Parmesan, and many other dishes. Everyone loved the food. Missy B was our Server and she did an outstanding job making sure everyone was happy! We then enjoyed desserts! I had the mixed berry Sorbet which was a perfect way to end a wonderful meal. Everyone loved the upbeat atmosphere and the friendliness of the whole staff. We highly recommend Sorella's for a large group or for a date night! ”

“ We went to dine in without reservation. We were a group of 7, & the restaurant was fully packed to accommodate 7pax. So, we were seated outside, which we asked. We ordered many dishes- Bruschetta, Patcheri (veg options), Crab, margarita pizza, chicken salad, Alfredo pasta with some drinks & desserts. We were served by an Hunter - who paid attention to vegetarian needs & offered to customize some of the dishes. Hunter is pleasant, and has good sense of humor which added to the overall hospitality experience. All food was tasty. The olive deep they gave with Bruschetta is over the moon. Alfredo pasta was richly flavorful, full of cheese sauce (which we like but would recommend to choose other type of pasta if you don’t like deep cream cheese sauce). ”

“ Service was awesome! They don't have a birthday desert, ( with happy birthday on it)so my waiter went above and beyond and put a candle on my desert which made my day. Food was good but my steak had a little too much fat and a little too much pink for a medium well. I don't return Food so I just ate half and reheating the rest tomorrow for lunch lol ”

“ From the moment I walked in, Sorella’s delivered an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right blend of cozy charm and upscale energy. I started my evening with a perfectly crafted Rusty Nail cocktail — smooth, bold, and just the right touch of smoky sweetness. It paired beautifully with the crispy mozzarella balls and creamy burrata, which were absolute standouts. For my entrée, I went with the bucatini, and it was divine — rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And to top it all off, the spumoni was the perfect finish: light, nostalgic, and bursting with flavor. Every bite and sip was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the already fantastic atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back — Sorella’s is a true gem in Virginia Beach! ”

“ Fantastic food and staff. We had my baby sprinkle lunch here, and they were so lovely and accommodating. The bucatini caccio e pepe is some of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! ”

“ It’s always a good time at Sorella’s! After having spent a week in Italy where I consumed pasta daily, I will say that the Bucatini at Sorella’s matched or exceeded several of the pasta dishes that I had in Rome and Sorrento. I am also a fan of the Caprese and the Italian Couscous Pasta Salad. Karyn, one of the skilled bartenders, and Vincent, owner, are both class acts. The entire staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I highly recommend your next dining experience be at Sorella’s! ”
