The atmosphere is cozy and…read moreintimate, perfect for a nice dinner but still relaxed enough that it never feels too formal. The food is consistently really good. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, especially the pasta. You can tell they actually care about the quality and the flavors, not just throwing things together. The sauces are rich without being too heavy and everything is seasoned perfectly. The service has always been great when I've gone, super friendly and attentive without hovering. It's the kind of place you can go for a date night or just a good dinner and know it's going to be solid every time. Definitely one of those spots I keep coming back to when I want good Italian food.

We ordered a bottle of Fiano (a wine we really enjoy and was on the menu). They didn't have it. We settled for Chardonnay. It was good. We asked for bread. They didn't have any!!! (What? An Italian restaurant with no bread?) not a great start. Having said all that, the rest for our food was amazing! The arancini and the eggplant were exquisite. I ordered the steak (yeah I know) but it was amazing. The sauce, the potatoes. Just delicious. Our guests had the lasagna and my husband ordered the pizza. They were very satisfied with their meals. The ambiance is quaint. Old Italian. Clean. I would train servers to know what's available and what's not. Prevent from ordering and being disappointed. In addition, if you don't have bread and make pizza, you have bread. You can make it out of pizza dough in a pinch for those who ask. Italian red sauce without bread... it's a big miss. If your equipment is broken, buy the bread. I think they should have given us the dessert based on the misses. Nonetheless, the entrees were very good.

The presentation of the dipping oil/vinegar was pretty, delicious and fun to play with. Now this pasta.... let me tell you... phenomenal!!! I ordered the ravioli d'anatra because I love duck and this blew me AWAY. The taste of the savory and salty of the duck melting into the tangy sweet of the pear and port wine reduction was something I could've never expected. Plus, the ravioli squares were browned hard and perfect and topped with a succulent dollop of truffle butter. The sweet port wine reduction elevated the savoriness of the pasta and really went well with the crunch at the end, which rounded out the bite. 20/10!! My cocktail was also delicious and perfectly balanced! Genuinely can't wait to come back here.

Beautiful, small Italian restaurant in Old San Juan. Gorgeously intimate interior with lovely…read morepaintings on the walls, it was a pleasure to (momentarily) look at, as we sat at the larger table in the back and away from the main seating area with the painted wall views. It was still pretty, but I wished they did a bit more for the table back there to match the rest of the gorgeous interior. And as the cashier/register is also there by the back table, we had a lot of waiters moving in and out of our space to complete chores/tasks for other tables, which occasionally took away from the ambiance and immersion of the restaurant as our table felt like a prime hub. Again, this was only an experience for this table in the back, but something to note. Regardless, my group ordered two appetizers, a bottle of wine, and six entrees to get a full spread and taste of this nicer Italian dining. The Italian Sausage and Polenta appetizer was phenomenal - deliciously buttery, smooth, and a springy texture I've never experienced before. The bruschetta platter was good for what it was, but not stand out. I ordered the carbonara, and was disappointed. It was incredibly salty while lacking any other savory, spiced flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly, but the salty pork and then further salted sauce overpowered anything else. I tried to salvage it with chili flakes and a lot of black pepper, but nothing could give it the rich flavor I was looking forward to or expecting. The ribeye, though, was phenomenal. Excellently executed, rich, juicy, perfect. Worth the money if that's in your budget. The other dishes were all delicious as well, and you can't go wrong with ordering any of them. I wouldn't recommend the carbonara, but I have seen other reviews rating it highly, so maybe I just got a hiccup this time. The waiters were kind and attentive when we asked for them. They seemed quite busy a lot of times, and it took a few rounds of them rush-leaving/coming back after we ask for us to be able to order cocktails or appetizers. It was also a busy night, so completely understandable. But overall, a really nice experience, and a beautiful date spot.

We asked our server if they could accommodate our request and they had no problem doing this for us. Well, the result was probably the best Lasagna I have ever had! The meat sauce was thick and incredibly tasty, with the perfect balance of Pasta, Meat and Cheese. I can't recommend this Lasagna enough!! Our Server was also wonderful.

I tried their Tripleta Pizza with Coconut Bread, and it was out of this world! The combination of juicy meats and that sweet, soft coconut bread crust is genius -- every bite was rich, satisfying, and full of island flavor. I also had the croquetinies, and they were the perfect crispy, creamy bites -- great texture and full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with care and creativity. The vibe at Sorriso is warm and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. This place knows how to mix comfort food with a twist. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!

Service was excellent. Our server walked us through the specials and the menu to help us decide what to order. Husband went with carbonara and I chose the penne pasta. They were excellent choices as we shared our meals with each other. I loved the pink sauce on mine. It was a bit lighter than just red or white sauces. Portions were generous but not obscene in the amount of food. We shared the mixed green salad which was a great way to start the meal. The salad was huge! Splitting was a smart choice. They don't have glasses of wine on the menu but do have house options available. I had the cab and it was delicious. Husband wanted a nonalcoholic option which they didn't show in the menu. Instead, they asked if he wanted sweet or sour, and if there were any flavors he particularly enjoyed, and they created a unique mocktail for him. So fun. This was a great stop. We are so happy we found Ombra.
