Sorrento Restaurant

Great Italian food and great service. The lasagna, bread, and tomato soup was terrific.

We heard several good recommendations about this restaurant from staff at a local hotel. As we approached we could see lively bustle and banter from within, amidst the soft light was a busy restaurant teeming with conversations and smiles.
As we entered to the restaurant, we were shown to our seats by the most friendly of staff, who took our coats, before we settled. I think we were extremely lucky to get seated in all honesty as most of the tables were pre-​booked.
So, we sat down to enjoy our meal, the service was excellent, i have never had my needs anticipated in so many ways. The staff new the menu and could recommend the food. And there was a synergy between the servers, yes we had more than one it seemed, a warmness and a genuine interest in your happiness. Everyone one of the servers smiled!
The Penne Arrabbiata was extremely tasty but a bit on he mild side in terms of tasting the chilli’s, though still very good you could taste the use of fresh ingredients. The Crème brûlée was amazing, I haven’t seen it done right in many a restaurant I have been too, but this one done to perfection.
The coffee, was fabulous, though at this point in the night it was kind of expected.
The only downside I could possibly think of, that to be honest doesn’t denigrate the experience in anyway, was the bathroom, though it was clean and well tended.
A most wonderful experience, if I am ever back in Stratford upon Avon I certainly will book to ensure I get to taste the delightful ambiance of Sorrento’s again.

We were in Stratford-​upon-​Avon to go to the theatre and I looked up what restaurants Qype recommended — being this appears not to be a chain we tried it.
We both went for the same starters. Butterflied King Prawns in garlic. These were simply the best succulent King Prawns I have eaten in such a long time. Seriously.
My Pa went for Cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and thought it wonderful.
I went for the Lobster and seafood linguine special. It came with King Prawns but of the variety I’d expect which tend to be disappointing. The Lobster wasn’t that extraordinary either.
The atmosphere is okay but I’m sure in the evening and at weekends the place feels more lively.
We asked for some pieces of bread to soak up the juices of the starters and found we got charged £2 something which I thought was somewhat steep for a couple of pieces of bread but they removed the charge without complaint so good on them for that.
House wine is fine.

A bit of a stratford institiution really. this place has not changed a great deal over the years — in a good way! i reneber it was THE place to eat for my parents’ generation and it was never easy to get a table on a Friday /​Saturday night so it is still recommended to book. Overall I would say that this is the best Italian restaurant in Stratford (maybe even in Warwickshire) It isn’t chaep but the food is exceptional and the service and ambiance comforting. Recommended for a special occasion in groups of 4 – 6 or as a romantic meal for two

This place is gorgeous, the food was lovelly. The atmosphere was great and the service was surperb.
It’s not cheap but the quality is shown in the food.
They do a good selection and you will not come away feeling let down or still hungry
