I'm so glad I finally discovered this hidden gem! The food was absolutely amazing, and the wine selection was just as impressive. Without a doubt, some of the best Italian cuisine I've had in San Antonio. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive. Very clean inside, I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Sorrento's to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian food!

Once inside, the vibe was calm and laid-back. The staff seemed a bit bored at first, but they seated us quickly at a round table and brought out fresh house-made flatbread from the pizza oven. It was warm and tasty, though the olive oil dipping sauce had a little too much rosemary for my taste. Our food came out in about 20 minutes, and everyone genuinely enjoyed what they ordered. My brother got two bowls of fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and I absolutely loved my spaghetti and meatballs--the sauce was sweet and perfectly balanced, and the meatballs were huge! So delicious . It ended up being a great spot for dinner, and even my brother--who never likes anything--asked if we could come back. We'll definitely be stopping here again!

I was recently in San Antonio for an event downtown and didn't want to go too far away for food. My…read moregroup decided to stop by for dinner for three because we were really hungry, and it was close by. For 8pm on a Friday evening, it was pretty empty, but the restaurant closes at 9pm, so that might've been why. The parking situation was horrible. There were barely any spaces (and all taken) in front of the restaurant, but we did find a paid parking lot nearby; that parking lot did say parking validation available, but watch out because it was not for La Focaccia. The restaurant was dark and cozy. It looked like they were starting to wrap up for the night. Dinner came with complimentary breads. We got the Linguine with Jumbo Shrimp, Chicken La Focaccia, and a House Special Pizza. For the price, the portion sizes of the food were not bad. However, all the dishes tasted pretty bland and nothing really special. I've had better Italian food everywhere else I've tried. At the end of the dinner, our server told us that we could've parked at the free parking across the street (at the Good Year parking lot), but they didn't have any signs nor directions pointing to that parking lot for the restaurant. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. 3 stars for the friendly server, otherwise it would've been 2 stars for the foods and parking. I probably would not go back.

She had been there once before with her retired teacher's group and raved about it for a few days. I was excited to go. The actual venue is really charming. Our server told us that the owner decorated it himself, including painting the beautiful murals. The tables are nicely spread out. Everything is cheerful and clean. The food was wonderful. We started with garlic cheese bread. It came on a platter with a bowl of sauce in the middle. There was plenty for the three of us on the platter. It was wonderful. The bread was soft and tasty. The cheese and sauce put it over the top. For my entree, I ordered Diavola alla Crema, which was gnocchi, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, parmesan, shrimp, and a spicy creamy sauce. There were options such as pasta instead of gnocchi and chicken instead of shrimp. In fact, my wife had the same dish with the chicken. I can't say enough about this meal. First of all, the portion was absolutely huge. I actually brought half of mine home with me so I could manage dessert. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. The gnocchi were lusciously soft and flavorful, but the sauce... OMG that sauce. It was creamy and seasoned immaculately. There was a tiny bite to it that really sent the whole dish overboard. I even commented to my wife that I couldn't think of anything that could ever make that sauce better. It was truly the star of the plate. My son had the Chicken Gorgonzola. He said it was very good. All I can say is that it sure looked amazing. He raved about the sauce on his, as well. He couldn't eat all of his, and carried a small box home with him. He even skipped dessert. My wife and I are dessert people when celebrating an occasion. The server said she had a tray of samples to show us, but recommended that we walk over to the counters to see the full selection. I took one look and felt my heart beating faster. I liked everything I saw, but two things really stuck out for me. When we got back to the table I told my wife I was torn between two of them. She was also torn between the same two choices, so we ordered one of each and split them. I don't remember the names, and they aren't listed on the receipt. I think one was called Biscoff caramel cheesecake. The other was a huge slice of a delicious layered cake that had cream filling and blueberries. Both of them were truly delicious. Now that I have tried this wonderful establishment, I will bring my retired teacher group during next year's rotation.

We ordered the bruschetta appetizer and Cacio e Pepe with chicken. They first bring you out a small plate of bread with plain olive oil. The bread is absolutely delicious, but the olive oil has nothing in it so we ordered a side of balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. The bruschetta was not great. The bread was pretty soft and soggy and the tomato mixture was very bland. The Cacio e Pepe with chicken receives a mixed review. The pasta which is prepared in the dining area is very delicious. I asked them to add chicken for a little protein, but the chicken was very dry and had absolutely no flavor. The only things I can recommend at this restaurant is the little plate of bread they give you in the beginning and the Cacio e pepe pasta. Nothing to rave about here overall.

I grew up in a family that did not believe in ordering spaghetti in a restaurant. My grandmother,…read morethough Irish, lived with an Italian family from the age of twelve when her father lost everything they owned to gambling. The family that took her in taught my grandmother all about Italian cooking, some of which she passed down to her daughters. Her spaghetti sauce, which she called gravy, was the best. My mother's sauce was just as good. Therefore, we never ate spaghetti out because we knew it wouldn't be as good. Last night, I was hungry for Italian food. Spaghetti was far from my mind. However, a super two for one deal on Door Dash enticed me to order spaghetti with Italian sausage from Albi's Vite Italian Kitchen. It arrived in two foil pans with plastic domed lids. There was enough food in those two servings for me to eat four meals! When I took the lid off, I could not believe how many slices of Italian sausage were on top of the spaghetti. The marinara sauce looked kind of plain and simple but was surprisingly flavorful. I was able to eat a slice of sausage with every bite. That combined with the chunky tomato pieces in the sauce made for a very satisfying meal. Was it the best spaghetti I've ever had? No. Would I order it when I visit the restaurant in person? No. But it was good enough to make me ready to try other dishes on their menu. I think they will most likely blow me away. The reheated portion I had for lunch today was even better! The pasta absorbed a lot of the tomato flavor. I think my next batch will be fried in a tiny bit of butter the way my mother did it when she had leftovers.
