    The bill
    Claudia S.

    Sorelle is fine dining and Michelin rated for a reason. I came with friends for my birthday dinner: wow! The whole place is stunning. The building has an extensive history, even once serving as a Hebrew orphanage, to now being a beautiful restaurant. I love how the architects and interior design highlight the character of the building! The wallpaper on the main dining room on the second floor is truly gorgeous! For cocktails, we tried many! I got the almond sour (delicious) and my friends were pleasantly surprised they serve decaffeinated espresso martinis. My sister got a spritz, which she also enjoyed. I was also touched that the culinary team was kind enough to sign a birthday card for me. Our table also received complimentary cacio e pepe popcorn to snack on--yum! For appetizers, we got the tuna tar tar (Crudo di Tonno), the strawberry caprese salad, and some shrimp--all so delicious, that they FLEW off the plate! For mains, I got the Rotolo al Forno, which was VERY tasty. My friends got the chicken milanese, the Sorelle spaghetti, and the sworfish. For side dishes, we also got the meatball with polenta and some potatoes. For dessert, I got a complimentary birthday cannoli with a candle and the Limone (a berry and cream-filled dessert in the form of a lemon!) What. A. Meal!!! The food and the locale are just stunning. But of course, not cheap. As a whole, we paid a whopping $399.75 without tip! Was it worth it for a feast of glamour? I'd say so--but definitely not an every day treat unless you have the budget! Also, Lucy was our server and was exceptionally sweet and patient!

    First timers and we were lucky enough to get a spot for our 2 month anniversary. Not a major milestone but one that will be remembered thanks to a great experience/night. Aaron and an apprentice waiter took care of us and did a fine job. We saw them consistently throughout the meal. Not too much but enough to take care of our every need. Our seats were by the woodfire grill and very cozy with only 4 people in the area. We watched the sous chef take care of what looked like side items and small pizzas. Very cool. We started with octopus with potatoes. I was sold right there. That was some of the best I had ever had. So tender and flavorful. Great combo. For our meal we shared the Swordfish picatta. Thin skin on it and a lovely sauce with plenty of capers. Perfectly cooked. Easy to overcook fish but this was not. Our other item were the pillows of gold. Not sure what the price was but probably more than I think it should be but maybe worth it. We both loved them. They melted in your mouth. Decadent. Following our romantic meal was the desert of Zepeles with a mixture of the items in tiramisu that they mixed at your table. It was delicious. Put the mix on your donut balls and enjoy! It was a night to remember and hopefully not our last at Sorelle!

    We were visiting and our foodie friends made reservations at Sorelle. We had really enjoyable experience overall. The restaurant is beautifully designed with an elegant atmosphere that still feels warm and inviting. The almond sour was excellent -- a delicious cocktail but a little sweet. The house bread was also a standout. We loved the apertivo plate for sharing. The Wagyu pizza was unique and flavorful. The Wagyu was a Wagyu carpaccio(I must have missed that part). The fresh pasta dishes were the stars for us, especially the pappardelle with braised rabbit and the "pillows of gold," which were rich, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Dessert was a little more mixed. The vanilla bean donut dessert was just okay. The olive oil cake was moist. Beautifully designed space, thoughtful menu, and definitely worth visiting in Charleston.

    Stone fruit caprese

    My friend and I just recently ate at Sorelle, we were visiting from SoCal. The drinks were amazing but the food was absolutely delicious. The ragu was hands down the best pasta I have ever had...better than what I ate in Florence, Italy and that was incredible. The stone fruit caprese was also refreshing and good. We got lucky to grab a couple of bar seats because there were no reservations available, we are happy we got to eat at Sorelle.

    We had the best date night at Sorelle on Broad! From the moment we checked in with the hostess to our server, the staff was amazing, funny, and made the whole experience refreshing and exciting. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We had a 9:30 pm reservation and I was a little worried about parking, but the nearby parking garage was an easy walk and felt safe both ways. I was also concerned about their 10 pm closing time, but the staff reassured us they stay open until everyone is taken care of, served, and comfortably finished.

    I can see why this place is Michelin rated. We just stopped in for lunch and the tea and pizza was delicious. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and prompt service. All of the food looked delicious.

    Loved every course! This is a great spot to celebrate an anniversary or special occasion. The menu does change occasionally, but everything we've tried has been amazing. Service is above and beyond as well. We had the patio booked, but due to the weather we had to sit inside. They moved us to corner booth that overlooked Broad St which was still lovely!

    Rigatoni Frutti da Mare and Tajarin al Ragu
    Peter W.

    We had an amazing dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Everyone we interacted with was incredible - especially Virgil our server. We really appreciated the complimentary Prosecco and tasty baked goods. Everything we ate was outstanding and beyond delicious. The bread service lived up to the advanced praise we read, and the caprese salad with peaches was a perfect way to pave the way for our mains. The Rigatoni Frutti da Mare and the Tajarin al Ragu were both exceptional. The homemade pastas had that perfect texture and "tooth." The delicious chunks of seafood in the lobster brodo coated the tubes a goodness perfectly. And the bolognese tasted like it had been simmering for hours, developing the flavors to perfection. We ended with the Zeppole e Caffe, having to show restraint to not lick the bowl. An absolutely amazing experience, top to bottom.

    Tuna crudo
    Ryan C.

    We had a delicious meal here. Really nice setting and great option for celebrations. The bread, tuna crudo, zucchini parmesan, burrata pizzette, sorelle spaghetti, swordfish, flounder, and potatoes were all great. It's rare to order so many dishes and have them all hit. I unfortunately forgot our waitress' name, but she was great as well.

    Our coffees were amazing! 10/10 for their seasonal drinks, we always love to try the seasonal/daily specials. It was slightly chaotic to wait in line, but the line was well worth it. Perfect location right next to King Street, so it's a perfect pit stop during a shopping day

    Emily B.

    Came back to Sorelle for dinner and it completely missed the mark. Our flounder arrived cold, the tuna had zero flavor, and the pasta was... just pasta. Nothing stood out. I also had pretty high expectations for their service, and that fell short too. They were clearly trying to deliver great service, but the execution just wasn't there. There was a lot of miscommunication, our dishes were brought to the table next to us three different times and then handed back when they realized the mistake. On top of that, the manager interrupted our main course to make small talk while I was taking my first bite. I usually appreciate that kind of interaction, but the timing felt off and inauthentic. Overall, you can tell they want to get it right, but it's just... not there.

    Bar

    Sorelle was hands down one of the best restaurants we've been to--not just in Charleston, but anywhere. Everything we ordered was exceptional. The homemade pasta was fresh and perfectly prepared, the appetizers were outstanding, and the cocktails were delicious, refreshing, and complemented the meal beautifully. Our favorite dish was the chicken Milanese, which was absolutely incredible and something we'd 100% order again. Our server was enthusiastic, attentive, and genuinely seemed excited to make sure we had a great meal. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. This is a restaurant we'll be recommending to anyone visiting Charleston, and we can't wait to come back.

    Sorelle is my favorite coffee shop in charleston! I stop by every time im in town and treat myself to their special latte of the week! Their pastries are super yummy and the staff is always friendly! I tried the chocolate croissant today and it was super fluffly and rich! The restaurant and cafe are beautiful and I need to come back and try their dinner soon! It is a superrr popular spot so just prepare for a line, but it moves super quick and is 100% worth the wait!

    Yes $45 as of now I believe, just depends on how big the bottles and how much you bring.

Wife's bavette steak was excellent with the peppers. Potato purée was not worth the price at all. $16 for some pretty good mashed potato's, I don't care how good a potato is or who you are, that's just insane to me. Last complaint was there was a film of dust lining the wall we were sat next to. So all in all, some really good dishes. I would love to come back, but the price is pretty high to have those imperfections.

For food, we ordered the steak and eggs and the Applewood bacon omelette. My girlfriend's steak and eggs were phenomenal. Truly no notes. Everything was cooked well, the pacing was great, and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Applewood bacon omelette, and this was really my only disappointment. There was almost too much bacon, which sounds ridiculous to complain about, but hear me out. The bacon was diced extremely fine, almost to the consistency of bacon bits, while the onions were left sliced. I think it would have worked much better if either the bacon had been cut a little larger or the onions had been diced down to match. The textures just felt mismatched. I could absolutely see the vision, and the flavor was there, but the execution was a little off. I ended up regretting my choice a little and wishing I had ordered the mushroom omelette instead. That is definitely what I'll be trying next time. I also wish there had been an option to substitute the home fries. This is definitely more of a personal preference, but home fries feel so overdone as a brunch side, and I would have loved another option. Those were really my only critiques in an otherwise fantastic experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the bartenders were phenomenal, the pacing was great, and the food overall was delicious. Church and Union is absolutely somewhere I would come back to, whether for another celebration, brunch, or a date night.

I decided to get the blueberry glazed chicken wings. The staff said that they were amazing and that the blueberry sauce was like a bbq sauce with a hint of blueberry. I thought why not. I love a good chicken wing. The chicken was cooked well, it was moist in the center but it was like the chicken was swimming in blueberry puree. There was little bbq sauce flavor and tasted like straight blueberries, what was more disappointing was the sauce was so drenched on it that the crisp of the wing was gone, it was soggy. No one likes a soggy chicken wing. If I ever got these again which I probably wouldn't, I would ask for the sauce on the side or light sauce. This place is worth going to if you're in the area, the food is good and staff are nice, but I would stay away from the wings in my opinion.

Upon entering, the restaurant was VERY dimly lit with a tavern-like aesthetic. We started with drinks: a hugo spritz and a campari spritz. Both were good! Unfortunately, things kind of went downhill a bit after that--not because of the food, but mainly for the service. Our waitress seemed annoyed with our party from the get-go. To be fair, some of our friends did arrive about 25 minutes later than expected (from another Spoleto event), but we were very up front about their delay upon arriving to the restaurant. Beyond that, our waitress just never smiled and always gave us looks that just made us feel like a burden. The menu is also poorly organized. Appetizers are not separated from mains--which is annoying when you're deciding what you want (thinking it's a main when it's not). For appetizers, we ultimately ordered the lowland biscuit, the celery salad, and the yellowfun tuna + snapper crudo. All were very tasty and well made! The celery salad is so refreshing! But that biscuit is absolutely delicious! We loved all of them! For my main, I split a tavern burger with my sister. Also very good and very cheesy! Our friends ordered drinks and the butterscotch desert. We all enjoyed the food, just wish the menu was better delineated and the service was better. For my campari spritz, and splitting the appetizers/main, I paid $91.60 with tax and tip. Given that Charleston has so many amazing restaurants, I'm not sure my first choice would be to return here purely due to the aforementioned. I'm giving them 4/5 stars purely for the food.

The late reservation was absolutely worth it. We walked to the restaurant from our hotel, and with the later reservation time, the weather was perfect for an evening stroll through Charleston. It ended up being a really enjoyable walk both to and from the restaurant. Service throughout the evening was excellent. Our waiter did a great job all night.

My wife and I usually like to stagger our order because we don't like feeling rushed, but we went along with their recommendation. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out quite as planned. Our bruschetta came out quickly, and not long after, the kitchen sent over a complimentary braised artichoke appetizer. Soon to follow came the Caesar salads. Before we knew it, we had two appetizers and two salads on the table all at once. This was a disappointment because it made the meal feel rushed and took away a little from what was otherwise a special evening. We mentioned it to our waiter, and he was extremely apologetic. The restaurant did their best to make things right. They continued to check on us throughout the evening to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Our waiter brought each of us a complimentary plum spritz, and treated us to dessert. That level of service and attention did not go unnoticed. Both of us ordered the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, and it was really good. The chicken was crispy, just the way I like it, the marinara sauce was excellent, and the spaghetti made for a great accompaniment. We finished with the pistachio cheesecake. Yum, yum. Even though the pacing of the first part of the meal wasn't ideal, the food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent. We'd definitely go back the next time we're in Charleston.
