Beautiful interior - feels like a piece of Italy in Glenview. Also live music - classical piano & opera style. Food - they have an array of sandwiches, pastas, meat/fish dishes, and pastries/desserts. At the counter, you can see what every dish looks like, as well as a nameplate with their description. Service was quick, and staff were efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The bread pudding comes with 3 thick slices, and is a bit dense. The strawberry panna cotta was smooth and creamy. The strawberry syrup was a little tart, and balanced the sweet pudding-like panna cotta underneath. I got the Mediterranean fish, and my husband got the panko-crusted chicken sandwich, which comes with truffle fries. We also got some regular fries for the kids, and the truffle fries were definitely better. They also had some garlic and herbs on them too. The Mediterranean fish was so tender, it fell apart at the touch of the fork. The chicken in the sandwich was white meat, but perfectly moist. The flavors are more on the subtle side, but I wouldn't call them bland. They seemed balanced in flavor to me. Not too greasy or salty or anything. I think this is a great spot for a family gathering or even a date night. Great ambiance - would come again! read more

I was totally attracted by the beautiful and romantic photos of Sorelle in the Glen on Yelp.  It had been on my list to try their pastries and perhaps a nice cup of coffee in the storybook setting.  My husband and I finally came on a Sunday around 6:20 pm, it was for dinner instead.  The restaurant was indeed elegantly and tastefully decorated with hanging flowers and chandeliers, despite it being a casual place.  We first lined up at the cashier to place the orders and pay for them.  The young woman behind the counter was polite.  I wanted to order the Shrimp Scampi but had read reviews about it being very spicy, so I asked if they could make it milder.  I was pleasantly surprised that they could make it totally mild!  I also ordered a peach iced tea; she just gave me a plastic bottle of it.  Husband ordered the Mediterranean White Fish with a glass of white wine, and we ordered a huge Funghi Risotto Arancini to share.  This first bill (without desserts, we ordered gelatos later) with tips came up to $70, which was reasonable.  The restaurant was still quite busy at that time.  We found a booth at the far end of the room, and put the identifying Italian name label on our table.  Husband's white wine came in a glass, the 2 dishes were delivered by a friendly server shortly after, only took about 10 minutes total.  However, when I asked for utensils and a glass for my drink, she politely indicated a self-serve station in the middle of the restaurant.  We had not noticed this station and did not know about the rules. This was kind of an inconvenience that you have to get up to get your utensils after your hot food have arrived.  I thought it would be appropriate for the server to just bring the silverware along with the dishes, especially they suggested a 18%, 20% or 22% tip, and we paid 22%. Oh well, my husband got up to get those. The food was good and flavorful.  Husband liked his white fish, and my shrimp scampi was fresh and tasted just like my home-cooked ones.  I do use marinara sauce imported from Italy.  I preferred smaller arancini that has a better-balanced ratio of crispy skin to stuffing.  Nonetheless, it was still good and filling. Then, our daughter who had eaten dinner from somewhere else came to join us for gelato as I suggested, which turned out to be a disappointment.  Firstly, they sold out the gelatos that we would want, so I settled with Pear and Daughter got Carmel.  We had gelatos in our 2 trips to Italy, and lots of gelatos in the US, but the gelatos at Sorelle was nothing like what we are familiar with, they are not creamy nor smooth.  These took on the texture of coarse sand and resembled sorbet at best.  I felt like I was eating a bosc pear that lacked flavor.  We could not finish the "gelatos" which was shocking and a shame. While many people seem to like the idea of Sorelle had all their dishes in their menu cooked and displayed so patrons know exactly what they are ordering, I do have some reservations about it.  I asked the friendly man behind the counter (I assumed he's the manager) a few questions, he was very nice and gave me answers.  He said that they cook the dishes twice a week (they open 5 days a week), display them for 2 or 3 days, and then throw them away (cooked food in room temperature should not be consumed because of bacteria).  He said the owner wanted to imitate Italian markets with the look and feel.  I have concerns about wasting so much food though.  It's simple math, there are 52 weeks in a year, so, each year they throw away 104 salmon, 104 shrimp scampi, 104 chicken Milanese sandwiches with truffle fries... you get the idea, they had about 30 dishes in display. And they have a sister restaurant in Long Grove that has the same practice.  I suggested a good and realistic picture for each food, but he said it's not good enough for the owner.  It made me ponder as there are people starving in this world, and even in Illinois, there are people who cannot afford these kind of Italian food.  Wasting so much food doesn't feel right, and it is not economical for the business either.  My humble suggestions are just displaying different kind of bread, and different types of uncooked noodles, and replace real cooked dishes with beautiful photographs.  What do you think?  After all, in Italian Markets, the cooked food is for sale as well. read more

04/04/26 - After my older sister & I finished eating @ Johnnies Beef in Arlington Heights & our pastry & it's like every cell has to be labeled separate coffee @ Tous Les Jour my younger sister called and mentioned that she was going to have dinner at Sorelle Italian Market in The Glen. She also mentioned they had live music so we decided mosey over & join them. Unfortunately we had just finished eating but we went to meet our sister & see what type of music they had. When my older sister & I arrived we met my other sister & her friend. We were treated to an excellent performance by Benjamin De Los Monteros. Benjamin has a great voice & sang a variety of songs from Phantom of the Opera, Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra & even his own song that he composed & sang to his wife who was also in the audience. He asked him how often her performed at Sorelle. He said twice a month so we were fortunate that we were able to attend this session. He also performs at the other Sorelle in Long Grove twice a month. Sorelle is a nice addition to The Glen. They also have another restaurant w/the same name in Long Grove, IL read more

Such a cute Italian market in the suburbs. The space is adorable and very inviting, and there are a lot of menu options to choose from. I have been here twice and have mixed feelings overall. The rigatoni vodka and the pear and arugula salad were solid, and the Italian Coke was really good. The eggplant panino had good flavor but was served cold, which was a little confusing. The spaghetti in creamy tomato sauce and the garlic parm fries were a miss for me. They are currently only open for breakfast and lunch, but dinner is coming soon. I would definitely come back to try breakfast and see how the dinner menu turns out, as the space alone makes it worth checking out. read more

I love the décor of this place. I'm excited that they've finally extended their hours and started offering dinner service as of a couple of weeks ago. I've been here a few times and really enjoy the ambience. The food has been good, though there's definitely room for improvement and a lot of potential. During our visit today, the food came out lukewarm especially the sandwich and fries which was a bit disappointing, though we ate it anyway. Maybe it's just a one off for today. The pasta was good, and done el dente, was enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We'll be back again, hopefully the food will be hotter and fresher. read more

Ehhhh-- pizza slice was like pizza bread- my sons pasta lacking sauce and flavor, Extremely-average

As you enter the restaurant know that it is a seat yourself place. After finding your seat, you then head to the counter to place your order for both your meal as well as your dessert, but not all items will come out at the same time.What we liked about this restaurant is that their dishes are prepared and displayed on the counter, so you know exactly what you are getting. Kids dishes are not displayed however they do have options for kids. We chose the spaghetti which is photographed below. We also try the meatball sub sandwich that comes with truffle fries, The chicken masala dish with mashed potatoes, the shrimp scampi, as well as the mushroom ball which we highly recommend. We had no complaints about any of the dishes. They all had great flavor. We were too stuffed to try any dessert, but they too look delicious. My only complaint is the beverage selection as they do not have a big election for kids. staff were friendly in the ambience was slightly on the louder side. Dishes are large enough to feed two. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to pick up lunch. Staff were so friendly, was greeted and explained the setup. I believe there's table service, but there's also a line to place orders for food to go. Instead of a typical menu they had all their pizzas, arancini and other appetizers, pastas, salads, and panini on display which was so helpful to see. Placed my order and within a few minutes it was ready to go! They had water and utensil station also while you're waiting. On recommendation of the staff I got the spicy rigatoni, truffle arancini, and a cannoli (half pistachio half chocolate) which seems to be freshly filled. Food was delicious, reasonably priced, and came out without much of a wait. The staff was so welcoming and helpful, you really couldn't ask for a better experience. They were setting up for live music while I was waiting which I'm sure is a nice addition to the meal too! Would definitely dine in for the full experience, I think their website has a list of the live music events! read more

Such a cute and pretty Italian spot. The inside feels cozy and thoughtfully designed, the kind of place where you actually want to sit and stay awhile. I really liked that they display the actual dishes next to the cashier, so you can see exactly what you're getting before you order. No surprises -- what you see is what comes to your table. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was much spicier than I expected. If you love heat, you'll probably enjoy it. I personally prefer it more mild, so I couldn't finish it, but the flavor itself was good and the shrimp were cooked well. The croissant was very soft and fresh -- I even saw the worker filling it with Nutella on the spot. It tasted freshly made and indulgent, though slightly sweeter than I prefer. Still, texture-wise, it was perfect. Service was good, and the overall vibe is warm and comfortable. A cozy place if you're in the mood for Italian in a charming setting. read more

This location of Sorelle opened the week before Thanksgiving, and I was surprised their hours are a bit limited right now, with no dinner service yet. It's 8am-5pm Wednesday through Sunday, so plan accordingly! A solid 4 stars for the Nutella croissant! Think flaky, buttery layers of pastry filled generously with that delicious chocolate hazelnut spread. Mmm mmm mmmm. Worth every bit of that $6. In fact, we stopped in twice in a week and had that goodie each time. The pistachio croissant is also one I highly recommend! The hot chocolate is $3-4 depending on the size, and you can request a kid temp (not as scalding hot). Set up is fast casual where you line up, order, and then get a number to take to your table. I'm not sure if there is table service or not. I would like to come back for lunch sometime to try a pasta dish. Pizza, sandwiches, and Italian appetizers are also available, and the wall has what appears to be an extensive wine selection. Very photo worthy decor with chandeliers and color plant hangings. Reminds me a bit of Alice in Wonderland x upscale dining. read more

This place has been many other restaurants in the Glen, but has a different concept that might actually work! They are only open for breakfast and lunch and you order and then find a table and they bring the food to you. Prices are reasonable, but get a seat first because when we went, we had to get it to go because there was nowhere to sit. Tried a little bit of almost everything but our favorite was the truffle fries. read more

I went here last night for the first time. It was awesome. The food was great. And the staff was very friendly too. And it is brand new. Some time in November of 2025 it opened so it hardly 4 or 5 months old. It looks very nice. And there is plenty of parking at the glen. read more

Amazing! There are so many great things about this location. First, very easy to get to. If you are familiar with The Glen, you will have no problem finding it. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and designed. Takes me back to my Italy visits. You place your order at the counter and you are handed a sign showing different Italian cities. Adorable! The staff will bring your order to you. I ordered a cappuccino and an apple turnover. Both items were delicious. There was a rather large group of us that went and the staff was gracious and assisted in moving tables and chairs to accommodate us. My experience was over the moon. Wish they were open more days. read more

This place feels homey and cozy as soon as you walk in. There are tons of choices for breakfast and lunch to enjoy. The staff are very friendly as well. It has iconic tastes of Italy all under one roof. I came with my family for lunch, and I loved the cappuccino with croissants to start as well as the gelato for dessert. The rigatoni pasta I ordered for lunch was okay--nothing impressive. Would return just for coffee and something sweet. read more

Had an amazing experience! Michael was amazing and helped us , making our experience memorable. Would reccomend , Gelato is 11/10.

We have been excited for this location to open for several months now. It's very cute inside and everyone is very nice. The service could definitely be a bit faster but I think they're still working out the kinks. The food was all very good and tasted fresh. The minestrone soup was nice and came with two breadsticks. The meatball sandwich was great and the bread was the perfect texture. The desserts were by far the best. The panna cotta was rich and luxurious feeling. The tiramisu was good but I think the panna cotta stole the show. The manager came around to say hi and even offered every table a free croissant. We will definitely be back! read more

I actually stopped by this place a few days ago to order their Bread Pudding! My wife loves bread pudding! And I also ordered their Chicken Parmigiano Panino with Truffle Fries for our son Alex, and he absolutely loved it! I have to come back and try it for myself. As well as their home made Gelatos! The ambiance is exguisite and inviting. It's like dining in an outdoor Italian villa, surrounded by lemon trees and the smell of the ocean. read more

I wish I had know they had focaccia bread as a side order I hope they served it with a bit whipped butter or olive oil and I would have liked if they had side salads. They could have them at one price for just a side salad and a discounted price with an entree purchase . I did not want to order an entree with a big salad I just wanted a complete meal without overeating. A written menu would also have helped I would have liked to see a bread basket for example for $2 or $3 per person. The live music was also a nice touch but the emphasis has to be on the food in a restaurant. For example if the customer does not see you have bread available it's like you don't have it. My favorite restaurants have the best bread baskets, Cheesecake Factory and Wildfire. Good enough food is not enough you have to aspire to a great complete meal to get people to come back again. read more

I am a big fan but their ordering process can be a total DISASTER. I wish they had a kiosk ordering option for eating in. This may become my favorite online order/take out restaurant but without knowing if the line to drool over the food, ask questions of the one cashier and place orders for groups of four will be one minute or 15 minutes long makes stopping in a tougher decision than it should be. Having said this I was very happy on a busy night stopping for ice cream. As soon as I stepped to the ice cream counter, one of the workers stopped making dinners to give me a cone. Made me happy but got a groan or two from people waiting in line to place a dinner order. By the way, the strawberry sorbet was the best!! read more

Fabulous Italian restaurant. The pastries are out of this world. Don't skip the pistachio croissants! And the pasta. I don't know how something like linguini with garden cherry tomatoes, which sounds so simple can taste so complex. Yum, I'm hungry just thinking about it! read more

Great service, great food, mouthwatering variety, and the personnel go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and wants. This place is authentic Italian food at its best.

Ate for the first time at Sorelle on Thursday, April 16. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, we sat at a remote table and the manager Micheal check on us regularly to assure that we did not need anything and that we were taken care off. The ambiance was very relaxed and pleasant. can't wait to go again! read more

Let me start by saying the food is very good. At the end of the day that's all that matters. They do seem to have an issue with "over service". Let me explain. I have been here twice over a week. My first time they were constantly taking your plates and utensils away while you are eating various plates. I understand that you want to remove dirty and empty dishes but please dial it back a bit. My second time, after sitting down after placing my order yet to be delivered, they took away my napkins and utensils. Cmon guys. read more

Great food and ambiance. Fast casual format with excellent service too. Both entrees and pastries are available.

Stopped by for a late dinner with a friend. We were a little confused as it was our first time, that we were to seat ourselves and order at the counter. Once we ordered, the food arrived relatively quick and was delicious! Loved the atmosphere and live music. Would definitely come back! read more

Excellent food and service . Ambience was great, music was good. The pasta dishes and marinara sauce were to die for!

Panna cotta and chai were good but the bread pudding was served cold. An employee came by to check on us and offered to heat up the bread pudding. The piece was so big that the middle was still cold. I've never had cold bread pudding. It was very dense. The live singer was great but the volume of the music overall was too loud. Beautifully decorated place!

Sorelle is fun! Cheerful, airy, decor gives you the whimsy of chandeliers, bougainvillea vines and citrus, while giving you warmth and comfort of an Italian cafe. You can enjoy barista drinks and sweets or quality fast casual dining experience with reasonable prices. You order at the counter and sit where you like. Your order is delivered to your table and the floor staff is constantly busy delivering food and busing tables. On a Friday afternoon the place was packed and a little chaotic to navigate the first time, but staff was helpful showing you the ropes. Had an excellent arugula pear walnut salad, my husband said the chicken parm sandwich was very good. The cheese ravioli in vodka sauce was fresh and good, but I would have enjoyed a little more zip in the vodka sauce and maybe a little more seasoning in the cheese filling. Overall, an enjoyable lunch and will be returning soon to try other offerings. The arancini and chicken vesuvio looked killer. read more

Not a great experience. Seniors beware. Line up to choose and pay for your food. Get your own silverware napkins and water. Dinners don't come with any breads (you have to pay extra) and the noise level along with loud music is not for conversation. Try it for breakfast or lunch. read more

Second time being there. Can't say enough about this place. Food is amazing but i am writing a review for the second time not because of the food because what just happened. We ordered three croissant and one sandwich to go. Once i got home i realized that they forgot to put the sandwich in the bag. So I called the restaurant. And guess what? The GM drove over to my place to drop off the sandwich. My daughter was so happy. We were heading out to church and getting ready so we had no way of heading back out. Thank you so much. We can't wait to go there again. read more
