This place is a gem! It’s been open for 20+ years and rated top ten best Italian food in Jax. I cannot disagree. Rolls are hand made fresh, crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Great wine selection. Everything is freshly prepared when you order. Nothing is pre-made, so it’s extremely hot and flavorful when it hits your table. All ingredients are so fresh you can taste the difference. We had appetizers, entrees and dessert. I am floored. I took pictures of everything.

Sorrento has been serving up some of the most well-known Italian favorites in the San Jose area for many years. One can always expect and receive the freshest of the fresh food available. Along with the classic favorites, the chef creates new and perfectly executed fare for those of us looking for something different. Tonight’s dinner was no exception. A perfect bottle of wine that complimented each dish graced our table. A tartare wrapped in Parma Ham over arugula with perfectly toasted crostini set the mood for the table. Then thinly slices of tomato drizzled in olive oil topped with fresh salmon were light and refreshing offerings. The addition of tomato water was a new and tasty experience for us. The arrival of house-made semolina squid ink pasta sealed the deal. Served with clams and fresh salmon, this particular and unusual dish delighted everyone. Our next surprise, Quack & Mac, rich and creamy tubes of pasta combined with duck confit. A rich combination not to be overlooked. Just when we thought it couldn’t be any better, it was, desert arrived—freshly made slices each of Tiramisu and Chocolate Ganache Cake. Treat yourself to dinner on the night. See what the chef is cooking up. FC

We were in the area and picked this place over the other Italian restaurants because of the reviews. We were impressed. The food and service was top knotch. The host sat us and made us feel very welcome. Our server took care of us very well. To bad this place is far from us. I would love to visit again.

This was my first time visiting since the new owner, and the new executive chef have been at the helm. Service is still as excellent as It ever was, and social distancing was carried out to the T. Each dish that we ordered was perfectly executed, tasty, and served at the appropriate temperature. The nightly special which was baked macaroni and cheese proved to be creamy and rich we all remarked on the goodness. The same can be said for our other choices. We will certainly be returning.Tell your friend

Honestly veal parmesan was good light on the sauce as I requested. The cannoli was phenomenal especially with what I’ve had on other places in Florida so bad I wouldn’t write about it. The sad part was the pasta. The worst. Still soaking wet. I took it out of the bowl and put it on a plate and the soup filled the bowl more than half way. Very disappointing. Also could use a renovation especially the ceiling tiles

We found this little gem of a restaurant in our search for something close by where we were staying. Was a little nervous because of some not so favorable reviews but decided to try for ourselves… first of all when we called to ask about the menu, Jonathan was very polite on the phone so great first impression… when we arrived he greeted us at the door and welcomed us in.. it was quiet clean and very cozy. Loved the linen table cloths, the blue accents and the soft Italian music playing.. it was a Tuesday night and we were the first dinner guests to arrive… our waitress was very nice and we were delivered freshly made dinner rolls which were amazing … both of our meals were very good. My husband had one of the veal meals with mushrooms and brown gravy and I had the spaghetti with homemade meatballs and I chose the pink sauce… loved my meal … and we both had salads that were very fresh and tasty. We each had left overs because the portions were generous leaving no room for dessert.. I would go back again for sure… glad we tried it .

Delicious food!!! The bread is Amazing with the perfect amount of garlic!!! The Calarmari was FANTASTIC, fresh and lightly breaded. We had Fettucine, Chicken Parm., the Mediteranean Pasta and the Lasagna as well as many desserts that are all made in house not store bought. Fabulous dinner, presentation, and great staff! We all took home boxes for lunch the next day. Truly a gem!!!! Highly recommend eating anything on the menu.
