We ordered burrata appetizer, spicy vodka w/pepperoni pizza, and spaghetti pomodoro. For dessert we ordered the flourless chocolate cake and espresso. Food was great overall, we love spicy so the burrata and pizza were perfect. Will definitely be back to try more pizza and pasta.

We selected one of our favorite restaurants “located un Bayview” and by the wbd of the evening we were commenting that Sorella has now become our favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. Our experience last night could not have been better from the time we were greeted at the front door by the host and hostess, to our time at the bar waiting for our table ( hostess stopped over a couple of times to provide an update on our table availability) and then arrival at our table. We were greeted by a phenomenal food server/Stephanie -she was attentive, helpful, very personable and provided the best in class service you could ask for. The pizza and salads here are simply delicious. And the vibe last night was amazing, it was packed but service was not at all impacted, they run a very efficient operation there. Sorella never disappoints…. and last night it was “over the top” great. Thanks to the entire staff at Sorella, great job!

We sat in the heated patio tent and we're plenty warm even though it was probably in the low 40s outside. It made for a beautiful ambiance. It did become a little too loud when a raucous group came in, but it was a big group, and they were having fun so you can't be too mad. The food was delicious, I had the veal and it was spectacular. We did have a curious appetizer that was labeled as bruschetta with sausage and sweet potato but it was really more pizza-like.

There were 6 of us enjoying a night out and he made it even better than we could have imagined! He provided recommendations, checked in often but not so much that it was a bother, and also didn’t have a problem with us ordering a pizza for “dessert”. We love Sorella for the food, but also for the service! Keep up the great work!

Only three flaws I saw was if that there waitress didn’t ask if I’d like dressing on the side and that the blankets in the tent weren’t pointed out to us and lastly a big lag in service once it got extremely busy. I look forward to going back with my husband and family.
