It was fabulous as always- love the cocktails -Aura & Christmas Old Fashioned- so delish with our apps- Oyster Rockefeller(special) & Mediterranean shrimp (it was only 2 shrimp that was disappointing). Short rib & Sea bass was delicious as well. This place never disappoints! We’ll be back and highly recommend💜 Our server was Nicole- she’s always so friendly & knowledgeable ask for her.

Hershey

About the restaurant

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.

We had a great experience. The best part about this restaurant is the fact that they have an entire menu for those with gluten allergies. Our waitress was great and the food was very good.
