    The raw chicken I was served.

    My friends and I recently dined at Giada's Sorellina Italian Restaurant inside Hollywood Casino. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and inviting, with elegant décor and slightly dim lighting that creates a nice atmosphere. Our server was wonderful, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. We started with cocktails, which were delicious, along with herb focaccia bread and butter that we all enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Lemon Spaghetti Chitarra, while our other two friends ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Our entrées arrived quickly after ordering, which initially seemed like a positive sign. At first, my Lemon Spaghetti Chitarra appeared and tasted flavorful. The pasta was excellent, and the chicken had good flavor as well. However, after cutting into the thicker center portion of the chicken, I became concerned that it was undercooked. Using the flashlight on my phone, I discovered that the chicken was actually raw throughout much of the interior. At that point, my friend who had ordered the same dish was nearly finished with hers, but I asked her to cut into the thickest part of her chicken. Unfortunately, her chicken was raw as well. We immediately notified our server, who recognized the issue right away. Since I had barely eaten my meal, they offered to prepare another entrée, which I declined. The manager, Lisa, came to our table and apologized. My friend suggested complimentary desserts, but since I don't eat dessert, I requested that my drinks be removed from the bill as well. Lisa agreed to do so. What concerned me most was the manager's response when I explained that serving raw chicken is unacceptable because it poses a risk of foodborne illness. She stated that it was "not particularly" dangerous. As a professional chef with a food manager certification, I explained that chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165°F to be considered safe and that undercooked chicken can lead to illnesses such as salmonella. Her response left me feeling that the seriousness of the situation was not fully appreciated. I then asked whether the kitchen temperatures their chicken before serving it. Lisa informed me that they temperature-check their steaks but not their chicken. That answer was extremely troubling. While steaks can safely be served at varying degrees of doneness, chicken cannot. To be fair, our friends who ordered the Chicken Parmesan enjoyed their meals, and the restaurant did ultimately comp all of our entrées. However, compensation does not erase the fact that two guests were served raw chicken, and one of my friends became ill afterward. This experience was a huge disappointment. I expected much higher food safety standards from a restaurant associated with a high-end casino and a well-known culinary brand. While the service, atmosphere, drinks, and bread were all very good, the lack of concern regarding a serious food safety issue left a lasting negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

    Sorellina had only been open for a little over a week when we went last weekend, so lots of grace was given knowing it was a new staff, new menu and we would take that into total consideration in a review. We have been to Giada Vegas and her quick pickup in Caesar's Palace as well. The menu is very small but the dishes are all great, the three of us were able to taste each other's meals and get a good feel for the menu. We enjoyed every dish, I would honestly order each again. I feel like the pasta was cooked perfectly and the presentation was beautiful. The menu was really lacking a hearty pasta and more other Giada classics that might come around with an expanded menu that we are looking forward to trying. Our waitress was lovely but I overheard a manager really talking down to her and that was disappointing. The order station is in the middle of the restaurant and she must have known that we could hear.

    We had a reservation for a party of 2 at 7:30pm and we're sat right away. Waters were brought to the table and the house bread. Personally, the bread was a little too salty for me but it was a nice size and warm. I did hear another table ask for the bread but without the extra glaze on top, so maybe that could be a future option. The reason for the 4/5 starts was due to the fact that they were out of nearly every speciality drinks on the menu they provided. Was a bummer. We started off with the meatballs, whichbwere just okay we both thought. Wouldnt get it again. We enjoyed that our waitress let us know the steak came with a little side of potatoes but if hungry we may want to order another on. So we got the broccolini which was delicious. The side portion was big. We could have just gotten 1 of those vs two. The steak was definitely the start of the dinner. We both asked for it medium. While one was a little more rare, it fit my husband's taste buds perfectly. The dessert was also a good way to finish the dinner.

    Everything about our dinner at Sorellina was wonderful. They accommodated us changing our reservation at the last minute and treated us like royalty the whole time. It was our wedding anniversary and multiple staff congratulated us. The restaurant is beautiful. Our server was extremely professional, the cocktails, appetizer and mains were out of this world. We live in Chicago and know our way around a menu. Everything we ate was top rate. The best part of the night was when Manager Lisa came by to ask about our dinner and congratulate us on our anniversary. We told her we ate at Giada in The Cromwell in Vegas and wanted to try Sorellina. She told us to hold on for a minute, left, then came back with an autographed Giada cook book as a present. It capped off a perfect evening. I'll definitely be back soon.

    The "rice" balls were excellent ! And the Caesar salad was to die for

    The food was very good.... Portions were fine... our server was very attentive and I think the ambiance was great. Not fancy but not casual

    Corn and Sausage

    Such a beautiful restaurant! I don't know why so many negative reviews?! Food was awesome and the service was great. Food came out quick and warm. The lemon butter that comes with the focaccia is so good!!! We tried all things lemon- lemon pizza, lemon potatoes, and the lemon butter with the bread. All so good! The corn and sausage side dish was so dang good. Portions are perfect and appropriate. Can't wait to come back and keep trying things on the menu.

Today we came for our 9th wedding anniversary and did not make an appointment we said we would wait the 20 minutes because we love the food so much. While we waited we talked with the host who ended up being the owner and chef. We explained that it was our anniversary and that we love the food at Capri. He said he would do his best to get us seated ASAP and we thanked him. Two minutes later he treated us to 2 glasses of complimentary wine while we waited and shared some of the history about the restaurant. We were seated in shorter than expected wait and were waited on by very friendly and attentive staff. We had the bra joule for an appetizer and it was the best we have ever tasted. My lamb was everything I could ask for and my wife's chicken vessuzio as always tasted like heaven. If I had one recommendation it would be to make Capri Sogno a must to experience the atmosphere and amazing food!!

Cold and rainy night that screamed comfort food and their linguine and clams hit the mark. I started with the obligatory Caesar salad, which was great, followed by the pasta and it was perfect. I did make one modification...I like a spicy red sauce so I subbed that over the traditional white wine sauce and it was awesome. Didn't have a drink but sat at the bar as I was dining alone and chatted with the bartender who was great, and I have to give a shout out to the server who stopped by and put the idea of the spicy red sauce in my head. Thanks Capri team...Great dinner in a great restaurant in what looked like a cool downtown area of Plainfield. A definite win and this would be on a rotation if I lived in the area!
