    the outside of a restaurant
    Diana N.

    After finding many restaurants closed or not open for takeout, we settled on Giovanni's. I was dying for some seafood, so I ordered the shrimp po boy. My heart sank when I discovered they were only making pizza and apps. I literally almost threw a tantrum... because we stopped at 4 restaurants by then looking for seafood. So to be turned down again, I said " nooooo... why can't I get any seafood...." The guy behind the counter said ."ok I'll make you a shrimp po boy but it'll be 20-25 minutes." I almost wanted to cry!! It has to be said, not because I wanted seafood so bad, but honestly it was the best shrimp po boy! Chrispy shrimp in a slightly spicy creamy sauce in a perfect Jersey roll. It's a must try!!! Pizza and calzone was good. Mozzy sticks we're good, too, but that Po Boy... mmmmmm

    Brisket and beef tongue tacos

    EXCELLENT beef tongue tacos 10/10, best we have had! I'd give the pizza a 8.7/10, this crust, hot, no complaints. The brisket tacos were also very good, 9.5/10. I highly recommend this place, it's also very nice that they have accessible outdoor gazebo seating next to a canal that is dog friendly! Service was also very good.

    Had an awesome lunch here. We got the chicken burrito and the Cubana. Surprised by how fire it was Great portion size and fresh ingredients. We enjoyed our food in the little gazebo by the water.

    Wow. Super impressed with the taste and quality. For a little pizza/taco place in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, it was a gem. Was able to pick up quick(they have delivery but it would be a time to get in the OBX). Everything was hot and ready when I arrived for my order. The girls working their were nice and polite. That goes a long way. Will be back for sure! Cheers!

    Faster than expected. Told it would be 45 minutes but delivery was here in 30. Pizza is thin crust, not too greasy, and not a lot of sauce.

The wings themselves were both meaty and juicy, but the sauces ended up lacking. The buffalo sauce tasted like just bottled buffalo sauce and the garlic Parmesan tasted similar, mostly being a one note flavor mess. The eggplant Parmesan was a generic eggplant Parmesan that is only made tasty by the amount of mozzarella on the eggplant. The sauce was watery and had no flavor. The eggplant breading just fell off and was mushy. Tasted like a frozen eggplant parm. Garlic knots had a hard shell surrounding a doughy center. Every bite you can taste the garlic. The knots could use a bit more salt to enhance some of the garlic flavor but these were still good. The pizza is a bit of a mixed bag. While the crust and sauce are a bit generic and underwhelming the toppings and cheese make up for it to make a serviceable pie. Crust was your standard American chain pie with a thick enough crust but lacks any stability or flavor. Sauce is so generic it makes no impact on the pizza. The toppings are plentiful as well as the cheese and they are all of good quality. We had olives, onion, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms and it wasn't too much or too little. The only negative is with all the toppings and cheese, the pizza did get greasy. Overall an above average pizza for a very average looking one. They had no water cups so everyone had to get a soda. They also have a sign saying no bringing water bottles in so there isn't anyway to get water unless you want to purchase a bottle of water. While this pizza isn't top of the line, it will still satisfy your pizza needs.

On the appetizers we had the wings which are indeed Big, Fat, and Meaty. The wings were not super crispy but instead very meaty. We had the dry magic rub and the buffalo sauced wings and the dry magic rub was great while the buffalo style was pretty standard. The Hatteras Style Clam Chowder was descent enough, not super flavorful, potatoes were very flat flavor wise. I wouldn't get it again. The tavern burger was almost everything I wanted in a burger. The bun was crispy and added a nice crunch. The burger patty was massive and juicy. The country ham was soft and not dry at all, and just fell apart in my mouth. The cheddar cheese was melted perfectly. The one negative was the caramelized onions. They were too thick and barely cooked. One fraction of the onion would be black and cooked while the rest was not even cooked. The onions needed to be cooked more and thinner to achieve caramelization and it really took away from the rest of the burger. I had a side of the pimento mac & cheese. It's very different from most other mac & cheese as the pimento and jalapeño add some spices you don't normally have in a mac. It was very creamy and a unique experience, but not one that I enjoyed too much. I would come back here if I was craving a classic burger.

    Craving Pizza on the Island? Sorella's is a Must-Try!…read more While visiting the island, I found myself in the mood for some good pizza, so I decided to check out Sorella's for dinner--and I'm so glad I did! With its reputation for hearty, flavor-packed dishes, it was the perfect spot to satisfy my cravings. What We Ordered: * BBQ Pizza * Big Daddy Pizza * Stromboli BBQ PIZZA This pizza was a savory-sweet masterpiece! The olive oil base paired beautifully with the barbecue chicken, caramelized onions, and smoky bacon. The addition of jalapeños brought the perfect kick, while the cheddar and mozzarella created a rich, melty layer of cheesy goodness. Topped with a barbecue swirl, every bite was packed with bold flavors that balanced sweetness and spice perfectly. It was a creative twist on classic pizza flavors, and it didn't disappoint. BIG DADDY PIZZA If you're a fan of the classics, this one's for you. The Big Daddy Pizza was piled high with red sauce, beef, sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. Each ingredient brought something special to the table: the meats were perfectly seasoned, the vegetables added a satisfying crunch, and the mozzarella held it all together with a gooey, cheesy blanket. This pizza is a hearty, crowd-pleasing option for anyone who loves a fully loaded slice. STROMBOLI This was the showstopper for me! Stuffed with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella, the Stromboli was simply heavenly. The crust was golden and perfectly baked, with just the right balance of crispness and chewiness. The filling was indulgent, packed with meat and cheese, making it a dream for any meat lover. Every bite felt comforting and decadent--a must-try if you visit Sorella's. We opted for takeout and enjoyed our meal during a cozy movie night at our rental. The pizzas and Stromboli held up beautifully, still warm and fresh when we dug in. Sorella's proved to be the perfect blend of convenience and quality for a relaxed evening in. Sorella's nailed it on every level--flavor, portion sizes, and variety. Whether you're in the mood for a creative take on pizza like the BBQ Pizza, a classic loaded option like the Big Daddy, or the indulgent Stromboli, you're bound to find something to love here. If you're ever on the island and craving pizza, Sorella's is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more!
