Awesome server & ambiance! Food was excellent! Came in from Wisconsin (fish fry capital of the world) and the Baked fish fry was awesome! Just a mile off Interstate 90 Herkemer exit! P.S, the house Italian Dressing on a salad is a must! read more

I ate at this Sorrento's about a year ago and the pizza was pretty good. So, I decided to not only go back, but to also try their store in Pulaski as well to see if they are consistent. The pizza ordered in Adams was a half meatball, half hot peppers 18" pie. The crust was inconsistent with thicker, chewy parts towards the outer part, and very thin around the center, as if the dough wasn't stretched out enough. And, what was once a nice looking orange pie has become a soupy amalgam of gooey cheese and ok sauce. It was the exact same problem in Pulaski, way too much cheese that was concentrated around the center of the pie that gave the sauce zero chance of poking through. The cheese was not put on very evenly either. There was no magic between the sauce, cheese and crust. Just an average pizza by NYC standards. More like tomato fondue. read more

Husband had the calzone which was huge. I had gluten free raviolis... delicious and firm not mushy which is a possibility with gluten free

Tried a few slices for lunch here. I tried the grandma square slice first. It was alright. A little bit doughy for me. I probably would not get again. I also tried a slice with meatballs and that was delicious. This place is very nice inside and it was busy so you know the locals love it. This place is also is a full restaurant with a large menu of Italian food. I would go back if I'm ever in small town of Ilion again. read more

We arrived less than 30 minutes before closing after a long drive from Cooperstown. Our purpose for dining here was to try a riggie, which is apparently a cult food item in this area. We ordered a cold antipasto and a vodka riggie to share. Thank goodness we decided to share because the portions were enormous. The large platter of antipasto was bulked up with iceberg lettuce and mixed with a sprinkling of sliced olives, two pickled peppers, a few slices of tomatoes, red bell peppers and pepperoni. The Italian dressing came on the side, as requested. We could not make a dent in the iceberg lettuce but managed to pick off the other ingredients. Then the riggie arrived. The creamy, tomatoey rigatoni came in a basin large enough to bathe a newborn. They brought an extra basin for us to divide the pasta between us. The riggies were cooked perfectly and the faintly sweet tomato cream sauce was delicious. I cannot imagine how two persons, let alone one person could polish off this enormous dish in one sitting. But portion size aside, the riggies hit all the marks for comfort food. read more

We are so happy to have stumbled upon this place during our travels. The service was amazing. Driving from Buffalo, NY to Bennington, VT, this was an amazing find. We arrived with 10min left on their lunch specials. There were only a handful of patrons in the restaurant, but otherwise it was relatively quiet. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the conversation with her. Now the food was amazing!!! I would love to have this restaurant in Las Vegas. But, let me tell you. There is nothing like this there. The garlic bread was seeping with garlic and butter. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was thick and stuck to the food. The cream sauce was tasty. Chicken was flavorful. I hope we get to come back one day. This was quite possibly our best meal for our entire trip. read more

I ordered calamari with pizza for delivery. Pizza was fine but the calamari was previously cooked and very old. I expected Gordon Ramsay to knock at my door asking for overly aged seafood to be returned. Got a refund but haven't returned. read more

I often dine here when in town visiting family. I find the quality of the food to be consistent, the portions are generous, and the service is pretty good most of the time. All of these things are true for our visit last evening. I dined with my 89 year old grandfather and my mom. My grandfather often takes a long time to place his order, but he was on fire last night and opted for the eggplant Parmesan. My mother selected the ravioli, but with sauce on the side due to diet restrictions. I cashed in on the Wednesday special: $10.99 chicken riggies. All our entrées included bread and a choice of soup or salad. Grandpa and Mom opted to start with salads and I chose pasta fagioli. My mom ordered her salad without onions so she was slightly salty when it arrived with onions. Additionally, she felt there should've had been additional ingredients. She picked the onions off and requested cheese and croutons. Grandpa had zero complaints and went to town with his salad. My cup of soup was delicious and it was paired with a package of oyster crackers. Our server was very efficient and visited throughout our meal to be sure we were satisfied. Our bread was plentiful. Grandpa raved about the garlic bread and Mom and I were content with plain bread and butter. The whipped butter = delicious! Grandpa's eggplant parm was a generous portion and he packed 1/2 or more to enjoy for lunch today which he did. ;) Apparently, he's not a lover of cheese so he felt the cheese was excessive. I beg to differ, it looked superb! Mom wasn't disappointed nor excited with her meal, but in all fairness cheese ravioli is a bit boring. I, on the other hand, LOVED my chicken riggies. I ordered these with sweet peppers and enjoyed them more than when prepared with hot peppers. The portion was huge! I was famished from traveling all day and still only put a dent in half. Grandpa will more than likely enjoy my leftovers too. All in all, this was another pleasurable dining experience. I will continue to visit when in town. Thank you to our sever for her kindness and willingness to assist my Grandfather as we departed the restaurant. Much appreciation~ read more

I have been coming to this location for several years now. The food is usually pretty good standard menu for pizza shop/Italian restaurant. The riggies are good and you get big portions any way back to last nights visit. They were not super busy on the restaurant side not sure about take out. We arrived around 5:30pm. We're seated right away. Waitress took our drink orders and they came back pretty quickly. She gave us time to order. Then the wheels fell off the wagon. Typically they bring out this delicious garlic bread, which they did with our soups but there was just this smear of half melted idk what on the bread so I passed and didn't finish eating it. I order the French onion soup it was ok. Kinda greasy not sure if it was from the mozzarella cheese on top or? I usually order riggies decided to try the Alfredo with broccoli and chicken. Our meals took forever I'm hoping they were prepared fresh cause it was a wait! The sauce was thick good amounts of chicken and broccoli but it was just ok. We get boxes to go which we had asked for early in the evening when the food came out. Sat and waited for those. Gave her my card for payment and again waited while she ran around with my credit card. I normally probably would have given 4 stars but the service for a not so busy night was not great. read more

Those that follow understand I do not just throw out 5 star reviews. However, if you find yourself traveling through the quaint town that used to be the Mecca of firearms production of Illion, NY I recommend you stop for the best pizza you will ever have. In fact stopping here has helped regain my faith in the classic pizza that our country has seem to ruin over time. The two key ingredients are the dough and sauce marina or gravy like my grandparents call it. The dough is light and flavorful and you can taste the flower off the crispy bottom crust of your pizza. I recommend the upside down, because you get a fanatic taste from each bite of their marina that is light and bursting with flavor. Another thing you will notice is that each bite starts with a crunch from the crust and develops into a jubilee of taste from the creamy mozzarella to the doughy middle to the marina on top. I sat in my chair thinking about what just happened to me after eating this Soerrentos pizza and I can honestly say their upside down pizza is the best I have ever had in my entire life . read more

Huge shout out to Sorrento's Pizza in Ilion! I called the pizzeria to inquire what their smallest order for delivery was, because I wanted them to deliver some pizza to my grandmother at The Grand Nursing Home. I explained I was calling from out of state, and I just wanted to make her day better by surprising her with some dinner (something different than the food at the nursing home that she has been exclusively been eating since the pandmeic lockdown). They willingly agreed to deliver just two slices of pizza to her, which they usually will not do. Thank you Sorrento's for helping me put a smile on my grandmother's face! read more

Our family that lives here chose Sorrento's for a family lunch get together and wow what a pick!! We're from Long Island and eat a lot of Italian food and there's no shortage of great pizza and pasta. Sorrento's was right up there with the best of our favorites at home. Every single thing we tried was great! If you want a great Authentic Italian food then definitely eat here. read more

This restaurant is a locals favorite, and even when it's large enough, there could be a wait. Warmly decorated and clean. Our server was very sweet and efficient. They have an extensive menu. The Utica greens are a great starter, or a good side dish, and they are a favorite dish for the patrons. The eggplant Rollatini is very differenly prepared, as it is not breaded. The marinara sauce that comes over it is light, chunky and tasty. read more

$15.99 for the smallest order of the worst chicken riggies I've ever had. Ordered the regular riggies medium and the buffalo riggies. Regular riggies were extremely underwhelming in both flavor and the amount of chicken. As for the buffalo chicken riggies we couldn't understand what made them buffalo and again was lacking in chicken. Mixed sub was ok(but honestly slap cold cuts on a sub roll woth some Mayo isn't hard) and the Caesar salad had stale croutons. The house Caesar dressing was very good and probably the only thing we actually enjoyed with the whole dinner sadly. Needless to say we will not be back. read more

My husband got the run around trying to pick up our order. They said 30 minutes. It was closer to an hour. My chicken parmigiana was tough and dry. Also there was hardly any red sauce for my pasta. There was no bread whatsoever. Very disappointing. Will not be going back any time soon. read more

We went here for a family lunch. One of us ordered the buffalo chicken riggies, and half way through the meal we found a short and curly. We brought it to the waitresses attention, and she apologized but no one did anything to correct it. Couldn't finish meal and very disappointed. We understand things like this can happen but it's unprofessional to not correct it. Lost customers for life. read more

Found this local gem out of the blue: Great pizza, soup and desserts! Unfortunately, we had a crapp-o server who almost ruined the entire experience. After we were seated, it took 10 minutes before anyone came over. When she finally arrived to take our drink order, it took another 10 minutes for water to come. Then another 15 minutes before our order was taken. We ordered soup ( it was a bit rainy and cool out); chicken vegetable and pasta fagoil; Both were definitely homemade and delicious. We then had the upside pizza, which has the toppings on the bottom, and the sauce on top. Regrettably, it came out lukewarm, indicating it had been sitting out for a while; Triple berry cheesecake for dessert was scrumptious. So GREAT FOOD, terrible Server read more

Love, love their garlic pizza, their pasta fazol (faggioli) and their chicken franchaise is delicious.

Ordered to go and the pizza is amazing. Decent crust and good tasting sauce. They are very organized inside and friendly.

Everything is delicious. Never had a bad meal. Been a loyal customer for 30 years. Dining in area is above average for the areas options.

We found this place by accident on our way to Connecticut. What a gem!! The food was delicious, such a warm place with great service. Our server Cheryl made us feel at home. We had the garlic pizza, Cesar salad, French onion soup (sooooo good) and the vodka pasta. I would definitely come here again and highly recommend. read more

Staff isn't friendly, given several dirty looks and food is cooked poorly. Do not recommend

Fresh tomato salad is so good that you won't even care that you will have garlic dragon breath for a day or so. I'm not from NY, and we don't have "long hots" where I am, but these peppers are delicious (they are both long and hot, but the actual variety of pepper is unknown by any of the NYers I asked... and I don't recommend Googling long hots online... the results won't be what you're looking for). The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking. read more

Italian fare in ilion New York. Sorrentos is a local favorite in the area and for good reason. I've actually never had a bad meal here. This time we went for dinner on a Thursday. The place was a little busy actually. We ordered the greens Salvatore and a pizza to share. Everything was excellent as usual. Service and pricing were both good as well. It does get busy hear on the weekends though, and since it's small I'd definitely recommend reservations. Highly recommended if you find yourself in the area. read more

We ordered chicken franchise, sausage riggies, and vodka riggies. All of them were rather flavorless and the sauce was thin. Last week I ordered a blt sandwich that had hardly any bacon and a ton of mayonnaise. It's basically the only places in Ilion that delivers other than pizzerias but from but from now on I'll take my 100$ and go to the grocery store. read more

I need to buy a number of pizzas for a future function, so I came here to expressly try the pizza. There was no wait to be seated and the hostess/waitress was very nice and helpful. I wish the pizza was as good as the service. The crust was flat and had no flavor. The sauce was also bland. The toppings were a little sparse, but tasty. My dad (who can barely tolerate pepper!) commented that the sauce wasn't zesty. It reminded me of cafeteria pizza. My pizza quest continues. read more

My wife and I went there, 2/17/2022. There were only three tables in the place that had customers. We ordered a pizza and wings. The waitress said that her shift was over at 4 and another waitress would bring our order. We received our wings in about 20 minutes and the pizza in about 30 minutes. Our bill was given to us, close to 1 hour later. The service we recieved was not what you would expect. After we told the waitress that we didn't want desert, please bring us or bill, it took another 15 minutes to get the bill. Worst service we have every had. read more

Chicken parmigiana was delicious. Baked ziti hit the spot. Service we kind and efficient.

We have repeatedly had problems with Sorrentos. Wrong toppings, phone orders repeatedly lost, refusal to disclose ingredients in gluten free crust so we can cross check for other allergens, and every issue handled with shockingly rude employees. If you enjoy having someone scream at you that you are lying and didn't place a phone order even after you offer to show them your phone with their number and the time stamp called, this is the place for you. Otherwise, it's best to avoid it. read more
