I really wanted to love this place and give it 5 stars. The shrimp dish was amazing, the drink was great, the server was awesome, the atmosphere and location are to notch.
However the pizza was basically the Harvard version of the lunch pizza you received at the elementary cafeteria when you were a kid. Literally burned and same crust as cafeteria pizza. Totally wasn't expecting this bad of a dish from a location like this.
Also, they add about a 4% charge to all tabs under the guise of to pay their employees. Just raise your prices.

First time here and it won't be the last one. This is an outstanding restaurant. When we had our first bite we wondered if maybe they have a Michelin star and yes! They do! We started with the Brussels sprouts that from my point of view were somewhat salty, but still well cooked and I enjoyed them. I didn't find the greatest combination with the sauce that accompany them, but isore like a personal taste. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese and the experience was impressive. The flavours extend inside your mouth and are lasting leaving your taste sense satisfied but at the same time wishing another bite. To drink I had the sangria that it was good balanced, not sweet and refreshing. Also I tried the Lavender 75 and I really recommend it. For dessert I had the panna cotta and it was really delicious, light and the texture just perfect. The service is first class and the decoration the place overall really stands out. If you can visit this place you won't regret it. Hope to come back pretty soon.

What a cute place! Also, Thursday is all night happy hour! We tried the bartender's choice cocktail which was a blackberry rum drink with egg white...so delicious! We got the truffle fries and the meatball with polenta for food. Both were tasty. I cant wait to go back.

Always an excellent meal, excellent service and excellent beverages! The design your own pasta dish is the way forward!
UPDATE: Post pandemic the menu has changed a lot. Pizza is cakey. Clearly a new chef, cocktail menu got better and wine list changed. Same fantastic service and staff, bring back the build your own pasta dish!

A change in plans led us to this restaurant and we were very glad. The food was excellent, staff friendly and helpful, and the restaurant very clean and relaxing. Highly recommend Cucina Sorella. Side note, forgot to take a before of my salad but got one mid-dinner.
