Wonderful decoration inside the restaurant with Frank Sinatra on the overhead speakers to set the mood right. Food was great and was very well taken care of if there was an issue with my order. Highly recommend this place they are wonderful :)
The service and atmosphere was spot on. They were able to seat five of us without any wait on a Friday evening. The food was lack luster. The four plates of pasta did not look fresh. They had the crust overed/settled look about them. My antipasta salad was an absolutely disappointment. It was a large salad, meant for two people. It had six thinly sliced pieces of salami (left whole), six slices of mozzarella, six whole can style black olives. It is a $20 entree salad, therefore should reflect it. For future, perhaps Sorella could chop all the ingredients to hide the lack of ingredients
To our family, Sorella's is a Bakersfield Staple If you haven't been, you must try it out at least once . My husband and i love both love the Lamb chops, and I often order the Lasagna. Our last visit, we both changed it up a but and i ordered the Lobster Ravioli and my husband ordered the Cioppino . I didn't care for mine as much as I like the spinach Ravioli here, so I wouldn't order tge Lobster Ravioli again. I'll stick to my favorites, lol. My husband loved his Cioppino, I didn't try his, but WOW, it looked yummy . My grandchildren ordered the Alfredo. I believe chicken and loved theres. Yes, you can take children its a great place for family's or just a date night. Just rest remember its a family owned restaurant nit a big chain, so enjoy .
I was just passing by and craving Italian when I decided to make a U-turn and stop in at Sorella. The owner happened to be there and, to my surprise, she kindly called the chef out to see if they could create a fully vegan dish for me by omitting any dairy. What I received was a specially tailored Spaghetti Pomodoro — simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. 🍝🌱 The combination of ripe tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil over perfectly cooked pasta hit the spot. It wasn’t just the food that made the experience memorable; it was the care behind it. The chef took the time to customize the dish, and the owner made sure my satisfaction mattered. That kind of effort means a lot, and it turned a good meal into something genuinely special. Thank you, Sorella! 🙏✨
Good Italian food with an intimate setting. Plenty of food options regarding Italian cuisine with the added steak and seafood options. The steak was okay. They were large portions 18 Oz. However they seem to be a little bit on the overcooked side and left room for improvement with regards to taste. I was expecting quality similar to high end steak house but was disappointed. The steam veggies were perfectly soft. The pasta cuisine looked presentable. Didn't hear anybody complaining with regard to taste of pasta. Service was rather fast. Server was friendly and the whole staff was very welcoming.
