It might be an off night but it's not as great as it used to be. The bar service was ok and the drinks were mediocre. The decorations are beautiful as always but I feel like the customer service is nicer across the street at their sister restaurant Sirenettos. read more

We received an email on Dec 31st, 2022 at 1:30 pm asking us to put in a reservation for brunch specifying a "special" all day brunch menu. I sent an email at 2:20 pm asking about where to find this special brunch menu that differs from the standard menu and as of 7pm, I have not received a response. I called at 7pm and spoke to a host who did not know about this and could not find a manager citing that Sorellina's is "really busy right now" with no resolution in sight. Sorellina asks us to email or call, but they either are non-responsive or have no idea what they are promoting when you actually do reach someone. This is the first experience with this restaurant, so clearly they aren't interested in my business. What a shame, and terrible customer experience. read more

This was my first time here and would highly not recommend. The place itself is cute and cozy. Everything else is subpar. Granted we came a little later in the evening, the service was extremely slow. We weren't seen by the host in maybe over 20 minutes and as soon as we thought about leaving, they came to take our order. Once we placed our order, we literally got it almost 45 minutes later. We ordered some sort of ravioli which was okay and the mushroom lasagna which was terrible. I wouldn't even call it a lasagna- some of us like crispy edges but this was half burnt. We wouldn't get past the burnt taste so it definitely ruined the dish. I had high hopes from this place but would not be coming back. read more

A MUST VISIT SPOT IF YOU WANT DELICIOUS FOOD AND A GOOD ATMOSPHERE! Stopped by Sorellina for date night. I was surely not disappointed. The hostess was so welcoming and seated me and my boyfriend quickly and later moved us to the really nice corner booths when the table was empty. I felt safe eating there because they are taking every precaution by wearing masks, gloves, and enforcing social distancing by seating everyone apart. My waiter Kyle was extremely nice. We were served water and bread quickly. It was so soft and tasted fresh. He recommended us drinks the whole night because we aren't very knowledgeable in that area. It's amazing how he knew just what we liked! We liked it so much we got two rounds. My boyfriend drank the Austin Eastciders Rose Cider and Carton Boat Beer and I drank the Lavender Gin Fizz and Pom and Fig Martini. The gin fizz had an herbal-y taste with a sweet/bitter mix and the second tasted like candy but not overwhelmingly sweet! Perfect for the holidays. For our appetizers we got the Fried Calamari and Nonna's Meatballs. We enjoyed it so much I unfortunately forgot to take photos. It was interesting that the calamari had cranberry sauce at the bottom, but in a good way. The meatballs had ricotta, which I love so much, and never saw paired with meatballs. For our entrees my boyfriend got the Grilled Teres Major Steak and I got the Rigatoni Bolognese. We had to share that too because they were both so tasty! Definitely revisiting. read more

I came here for dinner (and there was quite a wait ). I had been here before and only tried some cheese and wine - seemed ok so I was looking forward to dining properly So, we tried the Cucumber salad , Halibut and a light pasta dish . All were very good with prompt and attentive service . Portions are on the smaller side for Italian ( not a bad thing ). In sum, Definitely another solid Italian option in Hoboken with nice views for people watching read more

This place is such a hidden gem in Hoboken! I've been told Hoboken is known for their Italian and this place did not disappoint! Started with their apertivo happy hour, which included a list of different spritz. My spritz had sorbet in it and it was the perfect summer drink. The wine was not great, but it was happy hour so I'm sure it was bottom self. The blueberry burrata w pesto was literally to die for. If you get anything here please get that because I literally still think about that stuff in my sleep. Also they have a list of homemade pastas which were delish. If I lived in the area I'd go back and try others! Our server was very sweet and kind and even brought out ice cream for my friend's birthday without us asking! How he knew it was her birthday we still aren't sure lol. All in all, this was such a delightful experience and very relaxing after a busy weekend in nyc. read more

Superb! Their lobster scampi is outstanding, fresh homemade pasta with decadent lobster and a well balanced rich sauce. I paired it with their refreshing elderflower cocktail, 5 stars. read more

Had brunch and all of the food was awful. Was very disappointed when they no gluten free options or accommodations as well.

I have zero bad things to say about this place. Makes reservations as it's small. It's so cozy and cute. I could come here every week. The holiday decor is adorable. And overall the atmosphere of this restaurant is top notch. The food is 12/10. I had ordered the pistachio pasta... I WAS IN HEAVEN. The bacon was amazing. The shrimp was phenomenal. The pasta and pistachios were literally plate licking worthy. I'd come back just to get that same dish again - hopefully they don't decide to remove it off the menu in the future. Safe to say. I recommend this place! read more

I had brunch here on a Sunday, and it was pretty average. I ordered the baked uovo, which was decent, but unimpressive. Prices were reasonable. read more

Always perfect for a dinner or late casual drink or two. A good mix of age groups keeps the bar from feeling too young. The bartenders are always very helpful with selecting wines with their comprehensive list, which is extensive but not too overwhelming. They always offer a taste and there isn't any pressure to say you'd prefer something else. They are top notch with making recommendations! In addition to acing the drinking front, food is also pretty solid. On the appetizer front, the mozzarella, burrata and cheeseboards are all great. Their fish is solid and even their gluten free pasta, while a little on the salty side, was pretty tasty. It didn't trigger any celiac symptoms for my girlfriend so that's a big win in this area where gluten free options are limited. We will always hit Sorellina when we are in the mood for a casual date night and in need of a couple glasses of vino. Solid 4/5! read more

Service was wonderful. My favorite part of the evening was my drink, the bejeweled cocktail. The server was very helpful with her recommendations, I was stuck between two pastas, she recommended the pistachio rigatocini and it was delicious. read more

The atmosphere and food are great. The drinks were great, particularly the cocktails and wine. Service is also quick and friendly. I've been here 3 times and every time the food does not disappoint. My only complaint is the amount of food you get for what you pay. Most Italian restaurants give you a large quantity of pasta for what you pay. The average price of pasta goes for 26-32$ here and you get a small amount. Although it tastes fantastic, I leave still feeling hungry. I'd recommend going and trying it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Matt was the greatest waiter. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant for girls night or date night!!

DO NOT MAKE A RESERVATION HERE ONLINE!If I could give it 0 stars I would. It started with me making a reservation for my son's college graduation on a Monday night. There were 9 of us and I wasn't sure if I wanted to sit outside or inside because one of my guests had hearing issues and if it's loud, he has trouble hearing. They stated that either area was available because they weren't busy at all. When I got to the restaurant, there was on 3 table that were being occupied, so we sat inside. We waiting over 15 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us. We ordered a glass of wine and a couple other bar drinks. Then a few sodas and a coffee. That took another 20 minutes to have the drinks brought to us. There were plenty of staff around, but nobody seemed to be doing anything. Eventually we ordered some appetizers. When I say we waited 45 mins, I am not kidding. The calamari was cold and rubbery, the meatball had no taste at all. It was horrible. We had already been there for over 90 mins and we were not happy. We asked for the check and it came out at $225. When I asked about it, they said there is a minimum charge of $25/per person. I refused to pay it and they said they will charge me no matter what because I booked my reservation on the Resy app and they have my credit card number. I left cash on the table for what I thought was appropriate for the food and tip and left. I cancelled my credit card and left. Can you believe that a week later I got a charge for $225 on my credit card? It was considered a pre-authorization and I can't fight it. Now the restaurant won't call me back or return my emails. I guess that is why nobody was in the restaurant. The only way they can get business is by charging people illegally. So I am spreading my message to as many review sites as I can. Hoping someone else doesn't fall into the same trap as me. Do not make a reservation online! They will trap you into paying more, even if you refuse! read more

We came here for New Year's Eve dinner. There was a prie set menu of three courses for $75. We were seated late as there was an issue in system with reservations made online. The food was good but the gnudi was very salty. The portions were a good size and desserts were very good. The restaurant was decorated festively. There was also live music. read more

A big No for me, really wanted to like this place but when we stopped in for brunch our food took a hour to get to us. It was just eggs which also came out super cold. I understand restaurants are struggling with staff but just be upfront about it instead of ignoring us. That's exactly what the server did, just ignored us and when our meals finally came out, they came out 1 at a time in 10-15 minute increments. I would not return here. read more

We made reservations for 815 on a Saturday night and were seated pretty promptly. They were turning people away so be sure to call ahead. It's very cool inside, they have a long bar with plenty of seating, standing tables, a high top and regular tables. We got a cozy spot at the high top in the window. Appetizers were a decent size. Ricotta bruschetta was $4 and served 3 of us. They also came around with a tray of bread to pick from and complimentary toasts. We really liked our waiter, he took the time to explain the wines, get samples for us and answer all of our questions. We settled on a bottle of red. The dinner menu is limited but changes seasonally I believe. Most dishes were pork based. The meatballs were a mix of meats and had a hint of lemon. They were a bit firm for my liking but had an interesting taste. Next we had the lasagna which was just ribbon noodles with a pork sauce. It was just OK. The pasta was over cooked and could have used more sauce. My friend ordered the seafood pasta which looked good, but you could smell it from a mile away. We opted out of dessert but the choices looked good. Pasta dishes ranged from $17-25. read more

Dinner food was not good. My dish was inedibly salty and my fiancé's dish had almost no flavor. High prices for what you get. With that said, the first time we came the brunch food was actually good. I had a spicy battered pork sandwich which was original, and a good portion. She had a brunch pizza that I can tell she really enjoyed. Given one time the food was good and one time the food was bad, it's not a place I would roll the dice on again other than maybe just getting drinks. read more

If I could I would give 3 1/2 I would. It's not exactly 4 stars but a not 3 They have indoor and outdoor seating, and I did not make a reservation on a Saturday night and getting a table inside was no problem. The food was good, seemed very fresh. I had a crab pasta dish and the appetizers were ok. I had fried calamari and fried cheese . Menu was just a little small in my opinion. I think they could add a few more dishes. It definitely is a unique restaurant you aren't really getting classic Italian dishes but the classics with a twist. For a vegan not really sure if they would have anything to eat here. Aside from that staff was nice and attentive read more

Have been here multiple times and always pleased. The service is excellent and again the ambiance is romantic or a perfect girls night. The food is a go to as I had almost everything in the menu. The wine and cocktail list is also a fan favorite. read more

Sorellina didn't disappoint! You definitely need a reservation, I came here for dinner last Friday and noticed a lot of people waiting for tables by the time we finished up around 8pm. Like most restaurants, they're asking patrons to leave after 90 minutes. I opted for the citrus spaghetti which is great if you like a lighter sauce that isn't too boring. Nice combo of lemon with Parmesan cheese. I left satisfied but not too full! Happy hour ends at 6pm. Next time I'd like to try their happy hour options or brunch! read more

Excellent food and staff on hand. A nice selection of crafts and wine. The chef has a great hand in bringing up classic dishes with nice variations. It's definitely worth the visit for either the business of private event. Hopefully returning soon. read more

I have been here before but never for brunch. It is a simple menu with not many items which is usually a good thing. I went with Taylor ham egg and cheese on a biscuit. It was dry and tastes like something you would get at mcdonalds. I mean that with all due respect. The Hot pork sandwich with the mustard slaw and pickles was the best thing we had. The pork was cooked nicely. The seasoning on the outside is not that hot which I liked. The mustard slaw adds much needed acidity to cut fattiness of the dish. We also tried the toast trio and it was a funky combo. One had cream cheese with everything bagel. The other was an avocado toast and the final one was topped with a bland egg. Coffee cake for $7 was ok but nothing spectacular. For drinks we went with the natural wine and red wine. The one negative was the food took a while to come out. There was nothing that stuck out about the food or service. Based on the overall experience, I probably won't be back for brunch. read more

The food here is not worth your time or money. For $27 before tax, you get a small handful of lukewarm pasta. I could have maybe justified the prices if we were able to start off with a bread basket, but instead, you're served a single slice of cold bread. I bumped it up the extra star because the butter was actually great, but it's sad how much goes to waste with how little bread you get. If you are someone who is running out of ideas on how to spend money, this would be a good restaurant for you to check out. However, as a pair of college students trying to enjoy a nice date at the end of the week, there's just so many better places in Hoboken. Heading back to the dining hall hungry is not the vibe. For great ambiance, value, and service, you can literally walk a block in any other direction. Overall, this is not the place to be if you're looking for good food at fair prices, or at the very least, a hot meal. read more

My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night with a 7:30 reservation to celebrate my birthday! We were seated immediately and greeted with a glass of water. The server came by to check on us soon after to see if we had any questions about the menu or wanted to put in any drinks. We asked for his recommendation on bottle of closest thing to a Sauvignon blanc but they did not have it. He then recommended 2 other bottles which were similar and gave us a taste of each to make sure we got one we liked. The service was great. Let's get into the food, we ordered like kings! We started with the burrata, calamari, meatballs, to share. For the meals we got the PISTACHIO RIGATONCINI and I got the RIGATONI BOLOGNESE. The burrata was great and had amazing flavor,I love pesto. The calamari was delicious and I was happy they served it with a spicy hot oil- nice touch compared to your typical marinara sauce dip. The meat balls were delicious, it seemed it almost had a lemon flavor or zest in it which really stood out to me. The pistachio rigatoncini was something new for us, but we needed to try! I thought it was delicious. It had shrimp,bacon, and obviously pistachios which gave it a great unique flavor. MUST TRY! The rigatoni bolognese was delicious, it's a classic, I really enjoyed it. The vibe was great. It had dim lighting and great music playing. We were seated in the back but didn't take away from the delicious food. Inside this restaurant you walk in with some booths, the bar got crowded around 9 pm. Overall, great spot! We will definitely be back! read more

Like to BYOB? Enjoy cute decor? Well this Italian-American joint is perfect for date night or hanging out with friends. Overall, Sorellina is a great place to chill, but found the food to be a mixed bag. Snagged a last minute reservation here on a Friday night. (I highly recommend making one because everyone and their moms show up!) Their seasonal menu changes and I appreciate that ingredients are locally sourced. While waiting for our apps/entrees, bread service came with an option of three breads. As for the food... - Roasted cauliflower pretzels: when the waiter described this dish, the concept sounded really cool but this was the biggest disappointment for me. Barely tasted any cauliflower and it ended up tasting like reheated frozen pretzels that came with a side of cheese and mustard. Kind of pricey for what it was. - Grilled branzino: Seared and served with the fish skin on top, which is strange to eat. Just an average dish. - Spigarello rigatoncini: The better dish. Get their homemade pastas! Pasta noodles are fresh, tasty and this dish was very good. Service was very attentive and friendly. The entrees took awhile but the kitchen was very busy that night. All in all, this place is just okay. read more

Overall the meal didn't live up to the hype, and service was really slow (either they were understaffed or unprepared for the dinner crowd). Pesto Arancini - best item we ordered, recommend this Rigatoni Bolognese - pasta was undercooked and the sauce was sweeter than would be expected Lobster Scampi - too salty Caesar Salad - didn't taste anything like a Caesar salad and the salad pieces are way too large Lemon Spaghetti - could only taste lemon, needed more cheese or flavor to balance it read more

I've been wanting to try Sorellina since I got to Hoboken. The atmosphere alone draws my attention anytime I'm near by. I love how they added heaters to the patio space to keep it going throughout the fall/winter. I finally got the chance to visit on a Friday night for happy hour and it did not disappoint! For starters the ambiance is stellar. This is a perfect date spot or to catch up with a friend. They have it decorated for every holiday and the outdoor patio is glittered with twinkling lights to make you feel like you're under the stars anytime you're there. Second, the safety protocols are top notch. Masks are worn by all, they have the QR code menus and hand sanitizer available. If you have a preferred seating plan (outside or inside) you can make a reservation to make sure you get what you want. We didn't have a reservation, but we're able to sit at the bar at that time. Capacity is limited inside. We felt very comfortable with the amount of people they allowed in and how spacious the seating was. Our space was cleaned before we were seated and we had plenty of space between us and the next pair of guests. And finally the drinks! Happy hour is Monday - Friday from 4:30-6:30. They have an assortment of cocktails, beers and wine available. We decided to sit at the bar and the bartenders were super knowledgeable about the menu and quick to attend to us. The drinks look as good as they taste! I'm definitely keeping Sorellina on my list of go to happy hour spots! read more

First time here. Wait time wasn't bad on a Saturday night with reservations they found us a table relatively quick. Was a littlest disappointed in the martini i ordered- it was too strong and flavorless but not terrible. Appetizer we got wasn't the size i was expecting but was still great nonetheless. The pasta is the way to go when ordering from her. All 3 pasta dishes the table ordered were out of this world. The service was amazing as well, our waiter really knew the menu well & made great wine suggestions! Can't wait to go back Side note- the pistachio pasta is to die for!! read more

Sorellina is more of a 3.5, but because I always have a pleasant experience when here, I bumped the rating up to a 4. First off, Sorellina is in the heart of downtown Hoboken, so it's easy for you to hop to a local bar after dinner. The ambiance is great for any occasion: date night, friend night, team dinner. Second, the bread! Yes, you're offered only one square or piece--but the selection and taste position the start of your dinner in the right spot! Third, the calamari salad surprised me! Think of a fritto misto salad that's not heavy and hits the savory, acidic, and sweetness notes with so much deftness. Fourth, the cocktails! They have not disappointed yet. If anything, the small(er) bites and cocktails are probably the highlight of the show. As for the pasta: The flavors are addicting but nothing amazing albeit somewhat salty. Make sure you end dinner with some espresso! read more

Service was very good as was food although portions not generous given the price. Ambiance is lacking. VERY LOUD. Tiramisu excellent! read more

We almost cancelled our reservation due to the reviews on here but we couldn't because we were not in the cancellation window anymore. We showed up to our 730pm reservation and were seated right away. We ordered drinks which took longer than normal to make. The apps came out quick. Our meal took FOREVER. We might've waited an hour to get our main entree. I was hungry again by the time I got my meal. Not sure if maybe they're short staffed due to covid but we came on a Tuesday night! The food overall was good. Really enjoyed the cacio e Pepe! The pasta was very good. Would probably order take out next time. read more

"Is it time to go back yet?!" ...promise this will be exactly what you will say right after you leave. I went for brunch and had such a great time! The restaurant is super cute and food is perfection. For brunch I had a specialty cocktail "Spa day" (which speaks for itself) and then had the eggs with sausage and peppers. I was expecting an omelette and when the dish came out, I was happily surprised with the creation. It's a great take on a standard omelette and can't wait to Try and recreate it at home. read more

Second time here-- Service, food, and ambiance always all on point. Our table ordered the cheese/meats board very tasty/savory), as was the Rigatoni Bolognese.

Definitely a great classic Italian dinner spot with a cute vibe overall for the holidays. 100% recommend to anyone in the area. read more
