    Don't judge this restaurant from the parking lot. It is clean and classy inside. The fresh fish was seasoned well. The service was great!

    Average food - pizza was too cheesy and pasta was too greasy. Ambience is good for wasilla and service is quick for a fine dine restaurant.

    Quiet, dark, fancy the ambiance was very old school Italian. Service was promoted very nice and respectful. For a party of 8 we did not wait long to be seated. Our appetizers were delicious. The serving size for just the lunch menu was more than enough to share.

    First visit for us as a couple as we celebrate a belated anniversary (57th) and Valentine's Day. My wife had been one time before with our oldest son before we moved to the Valley. She had been nagging me to bring her back because she enjoyed her meal. They had a Special Valentine's Day Celebration menu with dinner and Special Cocktails. My wife chose the 9oz Filet Mignon from the Valentines menu and I choose the Seafood Arabitta from the regular dinner menu. We started with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer with white wine cream sauce stuffed with lobster and crab. There were six covered in the sauce. They tasted amazing and may be the best I have ever had. The filling was flavorful and just the right consistency. The filling was full of the seafood with just enough binder to have a light flavor but didn't overwhelm the sauce. My wife chose a dinner salad with oil and red wine vinegar. The salad was ample with fresh lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber slices and black olives. The dressing came in a carrier so she could add as much or as little to her taste. I had a cup of the house minestrone soup which was served hot, well prepared and tasty. It has generous portions of vegetables, white and kidney beans, and pasta that was partially blended and simmered until the flavors blended. It was appropriately spiced expertly done. My wife's dinner entree had a filet cooked medium rare and seasoned. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a large baked potato seasoned with butter and sour cream in packets. On top of the filet was a portion of well cooked and seasoned asparagus. Additionally it included steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. All the vegetables were cooked very well and tasty. My seafood pasta dish came in a pasta bowl covered with sauce and containing fettuccine, several large shrimp, large scallops and fresh mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. The pasta and sauce were well cooked and seasoned and spicy. The menu warned that two of the dinners were hot and spicy. I found it moderately spicy but the waitress had brought jars of crushed red pepper and cheese to add as you desired. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection and 18" long. I found that even with the spoon provided it was difficult to twill in mouthfuls and ended up cutting it my knife. That's not a criticism or bad thing but a sign of excellent pasta possibly house made. It was very good. Another plus is the shrimp were larger than normally found in such dishes and tailless. I dislike when the shrimp have tails on and you have to try to remove the sauce covered shrimp before eating. The difference in price and quality between tail-on shrimp and tail-off is minimal for avoiding the messy removal in a cooked dish. Also both the Shrimp and Sea Scallops were large enough that I had to cut them with my knife to make a reasonable fork full width the pasta. I don't remember ever having to do that before so it of the highest compliment I can give to this restaurant and Chef. Overall everything that we were served tonight was of excellent quality, flavor, quantity and preparation. It was equal to the outstanding service by Heidi W and her male assistant. We seated by a hostess and very shortly greeted by our waitress Heidi. She was friendly and helpful and offered our drinks which she promptly served after she brought us ice water. She took our appetizer and dinners orders. From the point she served or water and drinks our glasses were never empty. She repeated observed our glasses and promptly asked if we wanted refills. She served our appetizer, then our soup and salad just as we finished the appetizer. When we finished our soup and salad she promptly served our main course. Between each course our dishes were cleared and condiments changed. When we showed signs of being full her assistant asked if we needed go boxes and then offered to take our plates and return with the filled boxes and a bag to carry them in without our asking. I can only evaluate our wait staff as outstanding and the best I have had in several years. I know this evaluation is long but I feel that I had to give as good an evaluation as the service and food earned. I have eaten in a few five star restaurants around the world in my fifty years of travel but never expected this quality in Wasilla, AK. There are very few restaurants in Alaska that compare to here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants an outstanding experience at a reasonable moderate price. They accept reservations and I would recommend them on weekends and holidays. Allow you can be accommodated without them. They have a large dining area and parking lot. Full bar, wine take out service and especially for take out of their pizza which we observed several being picked up. Sadly they do not offer a senior or military discount but that is not unusual for restaurants of this quality.

    Pepperoni pizza

    Super good pizza! The pizza crust was crispy but fluffy, a good amount of cheese, and not too greasy. Very expensive for pizza and 45 minutes is quite a wait for two pizzas.

    Sorrento's has been an Anchorage staple for 52 years, but apparently they only started serving…read morelunch a few months ago -- and I'm really glad I wandered in. I was looking for a quiet place to eat good food, have a beer, and zone out for a minute. Sorrento's at lunch is the spot.I happened to be the only dine-in customer, so I basically got first-class service, which I have a feeling happens no matter how busy they are. The place is clean and a little dated, but in the absolute best, nostalgic way. It feels like an old-school neighborhood restaurant that has earned the right not to reinvent itself every five years. No trendy gimmicks, no loud music, no rush -- just a comfortable place to take a load off in the middle of a busy day and actually enjoy lunch. And the food fit the place perfectly: simple, quick and flavorful. Not a lot of frills, but that's the thing about consistent, old-school eateries -- they don't need them. I had the lamb gyro with a fresh salad, and it was exactly what I wanted. Fresh, satisfying and just plain good. This was my first time at Sorrento's, which seems almost ridiculous considering how long they've been part of Anchorage. Now that I've discovered lunch, I guess the next order of business is coming back hungry and tackling a big pasta dinner. Great food, great service, cold beer, zero pretension. Perfect. Try it for lunch!

    While we were in Anchorage, Sorrentos came up as a suggestion for an Italian restaurant to go to…read moreand the ratings were extremely good (4-5) so being a seasoned yelper, writing many reviews, I wanted to give Sorrentos a try. The restaurant has a nice set up with tables a booth's. We were a party of 4and our server was Marylou. Marylou s great handling our table making suggestions and with her timing of our food. We ordered fried calamari appetizer which was good. It wasn't a large dish and there were no Calamari "rings" on our plate, only strips which was a little surprising, but we enjoyed them. We also each got a nice salad before our dinners. I ordered the Ceaser salad which was delicious. I asked Marylou for a small (3) amount of anchovies to put on the salad. She came with a dish with I guess a can full of them. Not her fault, she stated that she had to make it a side order do that was hire it was done. No problem, I love anchovies and since they were there, I was not going to let them go to waste!!! lol! Dinner then was broght to the table, here is where the review is lowered to 3 stars. My wife and friends ordered this chicken dish (sorry don't recall the name, I think it was Marsala) and it was delicious and a nice serving. My friend also got the chicken parm which he enjoyed. However, my order was nothing like I was expecting. When I go to an Italian restaurant, I usually order Veal Parmigiana. This is my go to favorite. When my veal arrived, it looked totally not what I was expecting. The menu says veal scallopini lightly breaded and fried. Scallopini is a thing cut of meat. What I got was 2 ground veal patties (like hamburger) covered in sauce and topped with cheese. I started to eat it and immediately safe that this was not veal cutlet (scallopini) and ground veal. For the price I was paying, I was not going to accept this so I sent the dish back. Marylou was so nice about it and took care of me without a problem. She was kind of surprised about the dish as well. She gave me reasons why it was served the way it was but I will not share them here. If the menu says Scallopini (cutlet) then that is what should be served. Don't change it up on the customer hoping to pass it off as a Veal Parmigiana dish. Maybe being from NY I have a different expectation about this but I don't think that is the case here. I ordered the lasagna instead which was ok. Again, our service was great and the food was good as well except for my dish and this is why I am giving them 3 stars, which I rarely give.

Whether ordering in or ordering to go, keep in mind it takes quite a while--almost 10 to 15 mins--for the staff to make your sandwich, so I wouldn't recommend that you stop here in you're in a hurry because you're not going to get it out fast. In this case, call ahead about 30 mins or so if you're picking up. The prices are a little high, but it's worth the price for the quality of the food you're getting, which I can't say for most restaurants in the present era (2020s for those that are reading this in the 2030s and 2040s, if this platform still exists then lol!) Either way, the quality is HIGH and the flavor factor? HIGH! The Classic Piadina is very fresh tasting and comes with greens. It only comes in one size, so it's a little small for me. Still delicious! The Nonni is a pretty large sandwich, if you're getting the full sandwich. The onions combine with the meat enhances the flavors. The building that Originale is in presents itself as a very quaint and relaxed lunch spot with bright colors and large windows. It's a place you can go to sit and talk with friends.

Also, the tomatoes- I did not expect them to be so buttery and delicious. I may have paused mid-bite to appreciate them. Yes, I'm that person. As a die-hard cheese lover, the little bonus cube of cheese on the side felt like a tiny gift--like the sandwich was giving me a wink and saying, "Hey, I see you." Originale, I'll be back.
