Sorella

A tiny little red Italian restaurant on Cambie. Highly recommended. We had family style for a large group (chef's choice). There was a starter course, a pasta course, meat course, and dessert - all of sizable portions. In the starter choose was a salad, mussels, and bread with I think ricotta cheese. Pasta had two types of pasta and risotto. Meats was a need dish. And dessert was a pistachio chocolate biscuit type dish and a cinnamon covered puff with cream filling. All the food was very delicious. The place is quite busy and we only managed the 5:30 reservation. 2017 Update - Just went for the third time and the consistent excellence is worth the 5 stars. Some highlights from latest meal. Cornish hen was so juicy and the skin was nice and crispy. The butternut squash and ricotta ravioli was very creamy, the pasta outer was super thin and delicate. The halibut crochettes were very quite enjoyable.

Sorella was so kind to accept our 6 person reservation in the last minute and were so accommodating to us. They made some very nice wine recommendations and the hand written menu on the wall was really cool! I can see the Chef put a lot of effort in the food presentation and we were always asked if we were enjoying our dinner, we definitely were! This restaurant puts a lot of effort and is a gem compared to the restaurants nearby.

Sorella was a wonderful dinner and a lovely evening in this small restaurant. Every table was booked on the Friday evening. We started with the burrata and heirloom tomatoes and the clams in wine and butter sauce. Then we had pasta with wild boar, and with clams, and with Italian sausage. We washed it down with a pinot grisio. Excellent service and food.

I did enjoy this place for sure. We went for pasta Tuesday, and I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, along with the bruschetta, and arancini to start. The service here is superb, the food is on point. The only thing I'd say that's remotely negative is the speed in which the food takes to come out. Overall, id definitely return here. PS- the dessert is to die for.

I will I’m reviewing on behalf of my brother and his girlfriend because they went here for their annual Christmas dinner. They don’t have Google so they asked me to do this on their behalf. Nice intimate food and service and setting but the seating was a little bit weird because of Covid. four stars
