What's not to like, the food, the service, the ambiance were all amazing. We had the pillows of gold, which were specular. Homemade pasta with a light fluffy filling of cheese, and a hint of lemon . Ragu was also very good, which rivaled what we had in Italy. read more

Holy interior design heaven !! Drenched in Italian marble, luxurious velvets, hand painted wall paper, real candles and fresh flowers- plus a gorgeous melange of buildings attached together! I wish I remembered our hostess name, she was a young blond college student and a WEALTH of knowledge and maturity !! The first night we did the bar area and the salads and rolatini/baked lasagna BLEW our minds- we saw someone order the fresh fish so we knew we had to come back. The next day we tried their daytime cafe for delicious fresh salads and gelato. That night we tried the upstairs dining room and enjoyed the gorgeous ambiance. Mind you- this is 3 visits in a span of 48 hours. I mean we were hooked. The baked fish was nice but the sides and salads and ... wait for it ... PIZZA stole the show !!!! As a Jersey girl when I have pizza and pasta with real semolina flour and unctuous sauces - I feel a certain kinda way ...!!!!! Go. Just go. read more

Such a beautiful restaurant! Multiple levels that feel cozy, warm, and intimate. I was initially greeted by friendly and courteous staff, and was asked if they would like me to take my coat. I feel like not a lot of restaurants offer this kind gesture, so that stood out to me among other establishments. For the food, I started with the broccoli Caesar which is a take on Caesar salad, but with broccolini instead. It was filled with lots of flavor and was a very light app prior to the main course. I also had pane which is a delicious bread in several seasonings. It came with olive oil that tasted pretty standard to me. I would've preferred some sort of seasoning in the oil, but not a big deal as the bread was packed with flavor. For the main course, I had the pillows of gold which is filled with cheese and topped with other seasonings. Absolutely delicious, but the portion is very small. Overall this was a great experience and I will be back! Just know one plate of pasta is not enough for one meal and you will most likely need one or two apps to feel satisfied. read more

This is the cutest little shop ever, we stopped in and got the Italian sandwich. The bread is perfectly crisped and everything was so yummy. Split a bottle of wine just to kickoff our mini vacation. I will say the salads are premade in the fridge section so stick to the sandwiches. The decor was done to perfection it felt like you were in Paris! read more

What a lovely experience we had at Sorelle! We ordered a few items and shared them between three people, and everything was delicious! The "pillows of gold" tortellini absolutely lived up to their name, they were outstanding. We enjoyed every bit of this meal. The sommelier, Eleni, did an excellent job recommending a bottle of wine based on our preferences that we enjoyed tremendously. The service, the food, and the environment will certainly have us coming back again soon! read more

The food was very delicious and interesting. The service was professional and on-it if not especially warm in a Down Home way (although the restaurant demonstrates a special personal touch by providing a card signed by all staffers to those celebrating an event). The rooms are . . . just shy of glorious. Wonderful lighting, beautifully and tastefully decorated, great views out the windows - ah, it's almost distracting from the food. I'm glad it isn't any prettier or we'd want to move in. But the food is remarkable - for example, the tortellini I had were made with an unusually thin pasta layer that 1) held together perfectly and 2) was actually notably flavorful in its own right. Unusual! The filling was just perfectly made: umami (and _just_ salty enough) to where my mouth is watering just remembering it, days later. The zucca parmagiana appetizer - well, I'm so glad I didn't just punt to the arancini (which look great, btw). The squash is so perfectly cooked: just barely al dente, but still easy to eat - the sauces are delicate and each one brought a strong performance to the symphony of the dish. And the little garlic crumbles on top! Ah! Honestly, I could see going and getting a double order as an entree. (The arugula salad was fine - nothing exciting like these other dishes - and the bread service was pretty darned tasty with great oil accompanying it . . . but I'd ordered it essentially to mop up behind everything else and it did wonderfully at that and brought some of its own deliciousness along.) Didn't see anything that grabbed us for dessert. So. I'd go back, for sure. This afternoon, in fact - but sadly I'm not there right now. Next time in Charleston, for sure. Sorelle is a lovely place. read more

Went on a Saturday night with family. Reservations at 7:15. Unfortunately our table wasn't ready and had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. Place was packed. Ambience is great inside, multiple levels of old town house. Seating outside on street and balcony above. Had great corner table upstairs in a large room. Jason our server was excellent, he knows the menu inside and out and gave us some great recommendations. Too many to list. Just get the pillows of gold, bra Zoom was excellent as well. Everything was wonderful from the moment we sat down to last bite of dessert. We look forward to going back next time we are in Town to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend read more

My daughter and I had a lovely experience eating on the second story balcony. Burt was a talented waiter, the complete staff was quite attentive and the chef was willing to alter the tasting menu to accomodate us as vegetarians. The black truffle and mushroom risotto was epic. All the courses were fabulous and the two desserts capped off a great evening. Took three hours to complete so was a special memory. The balcony is hard to beat as a special setting for a meal. read more

10/10 Experience at Sorelle - A Charleston Gem From the moment we walked in, Sorelle completely wowed us. The interiors are stunning. We started with the burrata pizza, and I'm still dreaming about it. Perfectly blistered crust, velvety burrata, and the olive oil drizzle! Unreal. Their signature spaghetti was another highlight, simple in the best way, with crispy zucchini, burrata and a tomato sauce that tasted like it came straight from Italy. Sorelle is one of those rare spots that nails it across the board: food, service, ambiance, cocktails. 100% worth the hype. read more

I had a nice time at Sorelle tonight. I went as a walk in around 6, and spent some time at the bar before being brought to a table still in the bar 20 minutes later. The food was amazing! Everything was absolutely perfect, from the crunchy but soft bread to the flavors and textures in the "pillows of gold" tortellini. I would come a thousand times just for the food! The service was just okay though. I felt discouraged, as a solo diner, from waiting for a table instead of eating at the bar. My table at the bar was loud and felt crowded with people always walking by. My server kept disappearing too- I would see her maybe every twenty minutes, and it took me over 30 minutes to settle the check. If I was just thinking about the food, this restaurant would get six stars! Hopefully I just had bad luck with the service. read more

I am rarely impressed by brunch but Sorelle pleasantly surprised me...Great location, modern decor, and the food.... 10 stars! The vegetable quiche was amazing! The arugula and fennel salad was a great palette cleanser, the quiche was fluffy with a flaky crust. The breakfast panino was delicious! We ordered it without the prosciutto, my partner took a bite and yelled WHOOOA. The pesto, cheese, egg, and bread.... Sensational bite! We ended up sharing the sandwich lol. We also got a slice of Nana's Sicilian pie..... I have three words, GET A SLICE! Highly recommend Sorelle. We will definitely be back! read more

just wow. We got lucky- came in and sat at the bar for dinner with friends before it got crazy busy! service was super quick and perfectly handled. The food was to die for- chicken Milanese was incredible. Every drink was mixed beautifully. Will definitely be my staple place in Charleston now! read more

I cannot rave enough about this restaurant. Dining here was truly a special experience and the highlight of our Charleston trip. The inside is elegant and tasteful with a bit of a moody vibe. Our server was a delight and gave us lots of amazing recommendations not only for the food and drinks but also for cool spots to check out around the city. The food was mouth watering. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and it's evident. The cadence was excellent as well. Seriously my new favorite restaurant, I would plan another trip to Charleston just to be able to dine here again. read more

Food The food at Sorelle was impeccable! This establishment never disappoints with their delicious dishes and flavor combinations! The long-time popular dish - the tuna crudo - fresh, yet a subtle kick from the Calabrian chili, creates a party in your mouth. One order does not suffice! Other dishes, such as a the grouper, octopus, fontina cheese, prosciutto, rucola salad and cicciones pasta were all delicious, high-quality food, yet simply comfortable to the soul and palette. Service Audrey, the host, was very accommodating and very kind! It was a great start to our evening! Our waiter, Nathanial, made sure we had everything that we needed and everything was to our liking. Molly, the sommelier, was beyond helpful and knowledgeable when it came to choosing a bottle of wine. Ambiance We sat at one of the tables in the bar area, and it was a great seat! The ambiance on the first floor bar area, is the place to be for more of an upbeat feel. The dining room, on the second floor, is also a good option for a more intimate dining experience. read more

Very unassuming exterior with a posh-looking, upscale interior that's a complete 180 of the majority of its surrounding historic buildings. I truly thought I had walked into a 5-star hotel restaurant. We were lucky to walk in without reservations and got seated on a high-top table--perfect for drinks or a small bite but not really ideal for anything more than that. In retrospect, it wasn't the best, given that we weren't just there for drinks and a light bite. Had the arancini to start and I thought they were alright and nothing really to write home about. The Fazzoletti, however, was fantastic--an explosion of flavors, if you want to be surprised. The fresh ingredients are grown in their garden and you can taste the freshness. It looked healthy and tasted healthy! I enjoyed this a lot and would probably come back again for this. We had Joe wait on us and he was friendly and even let us taste the orange wine before committing, but we felt the service was pretty slow and it almost felt like he was a little pushy when it came to ordering. Prices reflect the upscale-looking setting and are a bit steeper than most of the restaurants in the area but you're also paying to be in a restaurant that looks this nice. read more

FYI: Reservations clearly required ; hot spot in chs! Came here with three friends to celebrate a birthday and we had a great time! It's very upscale fancy Italian fare. The dining room keeps the historic Charleston vibe. You'll definitely end up trying all your friends' meals so make sure you get everything different. The bread starter was great and we had wine bottles for the table. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure our wine didn't go too low. My favorite was the pillows of gold! This Italian place definitely stands out in a place of southern food cooking, so you know they had to do southern Italy... haha! If you're familiar with little Italy city blocks of bigger cities this would compare in being classy, but is less traditional fare style. Great spot for celebrating special occasions, Cheers! read more

Scored reservations at Sorelle and it did not disappoint. Upon entry, you're greeted by friendly staff to walk you to your table. As we proceeded upstairs the decor leaves us speechless. Everything is pristine and beautiful. Our 2 waiters cordially introduced themselves and jumped right into the menu. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We all decided to go with the tasting menu because reservations are highly coveted. We figured trying everything we could was the best plan. I dined in front of the massive, wood-fired oven and the smells coming out were delightful. First course Bread- The bread was good I just wish it was warm. Burrata & meats- The burrata was amazing and it paired well with the bread a pitted olives. Tuna Crudo- This was my first time having Crudo with a tomato sauce. It was scrumptious and my favorite dish. Peach Salad- The salad was so refreshing and the peach had a great bite to it. Zucchini Parmigiana- This was new to me and very good. The balance in flavors was on point. Sorelle Speghett- this was some of the best spaghetti I've ever had. I wanted more. Tortellini- This was the dish everyone recommended and I see why. The pasta was a flavor bomb. Swordfish- The fish was good. Pork Chop- The pork was great and the sauce brought it home. Sides Olive fried potatoes and spinach Budino & Gelato- both award-winning desserts. The experience was great and I love that you get to try almost everything in the tasting. I'm definitely coming back to try more. read more

The moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted with warm welcome and even a hug and a kiss from Dario. The experience went from lovely to extraordinary! The food and the service is the best in Charleston and when I asked about the sauce on the swordfish, the executive chef, Trevor, came out to chat with us. I'm always impressed when I dine at Sorelle, but last night was truly an amazing experience! Run, don't walk, and enjoy a complete dining experience! read more

My wife and I have birthdays two days apart, so we like to splurge for a really great meal every year. I heard about Sorelle from a friend back in May, and made reservations for August. I looked at the menu ahead of time and I had already made a plan for the 5 course, chef's experience menu. We were offered a wine pairing option for an additional $75 each, which included 4 glasses of wine per person. TOTALLY worth it. Simon the Sommelier was extremely knowledgeable, and was able to provide excellent wine pairings with each course. Our servers, Lucy and Eric, were there every step of the way, to make sure we had everything we needed, while guiding us through our meal experience. It truly was a tour of Italy. My only regret is that I didn't skip lunch today. On the plus side, I brought some leftovers home. I only took pictures of the wines, because I was too eager for pics when each course came out. read more

Finally snagged a reservation at this hip, one year old eatery and it did not disappoint-that much. I was immediately taken with the vibe of this place. Low lighting, candles, gorgeous marble EVERYWHERE! I think there were three floors of seating but I only visited the first floor-bar, and the second floor where we dined. The wallpaper and moulding on the second floor-perfection! Our server was very perky! He imparted many (sometimes too many) words of wisdom about the menu, most of which we promptly forgot. He was attentive and responsive which certainly added to our experience. We began with the burrata appetizer which was delicious. The mozzarella dripping over asparagus and toast melted in your mouth. It was certainly a winner. My husband ordered the branzino which was tasty but not spectacular, I ordered the scallops which is a new menu item this summer. It was very good but so rich I could not finish it. We also had a side of spinach which was cooked perfectly and had a zing to it. Overall, I liked Sorelle. Such a gorgeous setting to dine. However I was not overly thrilled with the food and the service could be a bit less intrusive during the meal. Too much talking for such a fancy place. I'll try it again and hope it gets better. read more

I go here often and while it is expensive, I like the atmosphere the service is always great and the food is delicious. One of my favorite times to come is after church on Sunday for a brunch and my partner and I will split one of the breakfast dishes, and get coffee and mimosas And sit at the bar. The bartender I'm sorry I forget your name, but you are always very nice as are all the other professionals so thanks for doing a great job.!! read more

I've been to this restaurant 3 times and I can't believe I didn't think to leave an updated review until just now. WOW. This is my absolute favorite restaurant. The staff is very polite.

I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Service and food are world class. John our server is amazing!!Recommend and strongly urge no standing at the bar. It lowers the ambiance and is problematic for the servers and staff to properly look after your customers. Thank you for a terrific evening! read more

This has to be my favorite place in Charleston. The food is incredible and its a little pricey, but so worth it. The portions are large and the tasting menu was some of the best bites of food I've had. Our favorite was the pasta course, it was tough to pick a favorite. The sorelle spaghetti is so good and I crave it often. The swordfish Piccata was also a favorite, and the appetizer plate is so good. All the drinks are so good and they also have a large wine selection. The service is always fantastic and they have many people working together to make it an experience. This is my favorite place to take people to when in downtown Charleston! read more

I have since been here for brunch and decided I should provide an updated review! I love their dinner service so I was excited to try out their brunch for a little date day with my husband! For starters, the cocktails were very delicious (as are the dinner ones). I went with the burrata caprese, the shrimp cocktail, and the sorelle spaghetti (I know, not a brunch item but I couldn't resist). My husband had a little of the caprese and the American in Rome breakfast. As expected, Sorelle doesn't halfa** anything - their shrimp cocktail had about twice as many shrimp as I expected and the tomatoes and herbs in the caprese were incredibly fresh. As always, my spaghetti was phenomenal. My husband really enjoyed his breakfast platter and was happy to see it was a more "upscale" version of the classic bacon and eggs- a thick slab of bacon instead of thin strips, a lovely crusty bread, well seasoned (fried?) potatoes. We received the same service we've come to love (aka excellent) and loved that more casual experience of a brunch bite! We will be back! read more

This is definitely a hot spot in Charleston, the only reservation we could get in the main dining room was 5:45 pm. That turned out to be awesome! The room is gorgeous and the natural light from the setting sun was magic. Beautiful people at every table & Beautiful people serve you, the atmosphere is beyond compare. Glamour at full blast & its wonderful. The food was decent. Given the price point, the hype, and the shine I was expecting to be blown away. I was not. Satisfied yes, but a little disappointed.

Incredible brunch experience, amazing food, service, and ambiance. I will definitely be going back for brunch.

This food is actually incredible. It's an entire experience from the entrance greeted with a little Italian deli, the gorgeous bar, and then head upstairs to the various dining areas. I cannot say enough about the food here. It's on the more expensive side but I recommend family style so you can try a little of everything. I'm headed back this week and can update the review with pictures. Check this place out on pay day, it's worth it! read more

Absolutely stunning dinner! We had another Italian place earlier in the week that was disappointing so I was wary about trying Sorelle but they blew us away!

So happy this was our last stop in Charleston! Vibes were great, such a beautiful space, service was so so good. We got the golden pillow pasta, spicy pizza, Caesar salad and steak and eggs and it was all seriously delicious. 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

I want to hate this place because it's so hard to get a table... but it's amazing. Overpriced, but amazing and worth the splurge. The spaghetti squash carbonara was the table favorite. The sommelier was on point, bartenders were fantastic It was just a great experience all the way around. Side note... try to get a table that isn't a high top. We all left with backache because the just aren't comfortable. My legs dangled for 2 hours. No where to put my feet. read more

Sorelle has some of the best pasta downtown. Felt like I entered another dimension on how beautiful it is upstairs and how nice our server was.
