Sorella in Lambeth

Sorella es un bonito restaurante y aparcamiento es posible fuera. El personal es amable y el menú es agradable. Comida sabrosa y buen ambiente. Recomendado.

Another visit to Sorella and it did not disappoint. The lamb rump and cabbage was delicious, as were the truffle arancinis. This place is Clapham’s best restaurant…full stop.

Have lived 2 minutes away from Sorella for over a year, always saying that we should give it a try. Tonight was the night! We had a delicious meal from start to finish: arancini, focaccia, monkfish, gnocchi, polenta and panna cotta. Everything was outstanding. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere elegant, yet casual. Best meal we have had in Clapham, which includes the place with a “star”!

The agnolotti dish was delicious! Food generally was good, although the crab linguine with tomatoes had very little crab or tomato and was therefore very bland. The place was packed, which made for a good atmosphere, although service was slow, probably as a result. But the staff were smiley and apologetic, which helped. Would go again.

I took my partner for his birthday dinner and we thought the food was absolutely delicious and service was great. We especially enjoyed the carbonara arancini, BBQ monkfish and the cremoso to finish- the malt ice cream was so tasty (this is definitely a sharing pud)! Relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a ‘treat dinner’ ☺️

Especially enjoyed the arancini and the mushroom pasta! It was absolutely delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere and overall a lovely evening!

Food and service excellent but the restaurant was uncomfortably hot, Aircon either not working or ineffective. On the whole would go again as really enjoyed the meal just hope the Aircon is fixed going forward!

We were really looking forward to the evening but overall a bit disappointed. Servers were lovely and attentive. Some of the food was delicious. Unfortunately the vegetarian pasta was overly rich and a very small portion. Our biggest issue was the loud music, we could barely hear each other across the table without having to shout. It’s a shame as when we arrived it was great but they seemed to turn it up and it was party club music - not the right ambience for a nice italian meal. Sadly wouldn’t go back

My parents were over this weekend to visit so we booked a table for this restaurant. Although we took a gamble with Sorella (we had heard good things but never been,) it was a bet that paid off. The meal from start to finish was delicious, with the Tamworth pork chop and smoked ricotta agnolotti being a highlight. The service was excellent, staff were attentive without being invasive. This restaurant is an absolute treat, massive hats off to the chef and staff, it was a fantastic dining experience.

First trip advisor review ever, just want to warn everyone this is a terrible date spot. Awful service, terrible atmosphere and very overpriced gentrification type food, inauthentic non-Italian tastes like barbecue sauce mixed with spagetti

We do not usually 'go out' for pasta, as it is one of those dishes we can whip up well for pennies at home. However, we are so glad we made an exception for Sorella. The best of what we sampled: - The arancini (both the truffle and carbonara variants were divine) - Wil mushroom pasta (wonderfully seasoned; no need for additional cheese) - The monkfish (basically aquatic steak; so good) - The focaccia The charming head waiter from Cyprus made our experience especially memorable by providing a round of limoncello and biscotti. A class act. We will definitely be returning.

Simpatico ristorante italiano a Clapham. Ambiente rustico chic con servizio cortese e familiare . Cucina di ispirazione italiana con buoni piatti da segnalare i tagliolini al ragù di selvaggina e la coda di rospo BBQ con nocciole dalla cottura impeccabile. Carta dei vini con qualche buona bottiglia ma non particolarmente curata. Prezzi ottimi considerato la qualità del locale e i prezzi di Londra.

Wow. The most amazing meal! Sinead and Miranda were the most wonderful kind servers and the food was NEXT LEVEL good

Great if slightly quirky Clapham restaurant, located in a side street but don’t let that fool you, this is a seriously good place to dine, food is delicious and not too expensive either, recommended

Where to start… incredible food, fantastic setting, unbelievable price. Food was faultless, good portion sizes and great taste. Service really solid too. Very rustic and warm setting perfect for couples or a family meal. Without a doubt the biggest plus point was the incredible value for money, so well priced for Michelin star food, almost spat my water out when the bill came. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Very good service again, and our table was spacious and good position next to the bar at the rear of the restaurant. Great atmosphere, and food was lovely, enjoyed by all. The star was the Pappardelle Ragu, which 3 of us ordered and was totally delicious. The Gnocchi was very well received, and one chose the delicious Agnolotti. Great starters which we shared; we ordered 2 of the Truffle Arancini, 2 aubergine (amazing), 2 Burrata, and Focaccia. All great choices, and would happily order the same menu all over again. Bottle each of Merlot and Vermentino, both at £36 each (bit pricey, but it's Clapham Common) and a glass of Rose. Total £250, including 12.5% service. Tucked away down a side street, it's a wonderful local restaurant, very good service, and well made food.

LOCATION: 4/5 Located on a quiet street. Parking before 6.30pm can be tricky. Some parking available for non residents. We paid £3.00 for 45 minutes. HOSPITALITY: 5/5 Table reservation before arriving was handled well and inspired confidence. Warm greeting by all staff on arrival. Sterling table service. Our thanks to Osman for his attention to detail without being intrusive as well as for guiding us on our order. Waiting time between courses was well-managed. The table was booked for 2 hours (ample time) and at no stage did we feel pressurized. AMBIENCE:3.5/5 On arrival we were pleased with the cozy and casual setup. Walls left in natural brick/stone lightly adorned with woven rope patterns (effective). However, the background music was much too loud (perhaps soft instrumental music could create a more 'calming' experience?). By the time the restaurant filled up the noise level was quite oppressive and it was virtually impossible to have a conversation at the table without raising one's voice. The issue of acoustics needs to be addressed for the dining experience to be pleasurable. DINING EXPERIENCE: 4/5 Lovely stone tableware. All dishes very well presented and evidence of fresh ingredients. The limited menu (a good sign) caters for vegetarians as well and the drinks menu (a tad dear) offers a range of mainly Italian wines. We decided to order several cicchetti and antipasti dishes as 'tapas' and this worked well. Our choices included: Sicilian olives (perfect!), truffle arancini ('eat me, eat me now' experience - oozing with truffles in a creamy sauce), Sorella's focaccia (freshly baked, light and each mouthful a wholesome joy), Burrata (mild, appetising ), Beef tartare (profoundly beautiful and eatable). We awaited further culinary delights and were not disappointed with our choice of Primi - Pappardelle with lamb ragu (oh my! richest, glossiest of stews which cling to every ribbon of pasta), the Squid ink agnolotti was serviceable ( a little on the salty side). Secondi: BBQ monkfish (expertly cooked but the wee portion of accompanying courgettes was overly salted ), Dexter beef served with hispi cabbage got the thumbs up. The portions are not generous for the secondi and the prices are in the upper double figures. Dolci at Sorella's are light, refreshing and memorable. We had the White chocolate and salted caramel tiramisu (heavenly!) and the cardomom panna cotta with poached rhubarb and shortbread (divine!). We shall return to sample some more dishes on their menu.

Celebrated a birthday here with family. The staff were wonderful and helped make the celebration very special. The food was outstanding and there was a good selection of wines. Will definitely be returning.

A beautiful Italian gem in Clapham. Authentic home style food, with excellent flavour combinations and a beautiful ambience. Took my wife for her birthday and we loved it, food was great, service impeccable and wine was good too. Reasonably priced for the area. Keep up the good work.

Amazing food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommend - a hidden gem. The ragu a must as are the cocktails! Will be back!

Two of us had a table next to the window at the front, and by 7:30 the restaurant was totally full. We went mid-week, and the only main complaint was that we had to ask to have the music turned down as the speakers were...

The food was good but service was shocking. Felt like we were being rushed to leave the whole time, ta our condiments away before we’d even finished eating a bite of our starter, as soon as we’d finished plates were removed and whilst enjoying our...

I have to say there was not one staff member we came across who was anything other than wonderful, friendly and helpful. The food that we had was very tasty. My only complaint is that the portion sizes were very small. We had a starter...

Absolutely loved Sorella- fab atmosphere, attentive staff, great wine, and absolutely delicious food. Also very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

I really wanted to love Sorella. There were some positives, the cocktails were lovely and the truffle arancini were incredible. The parmigiana was delicious. The burrata with fig and walnut should have been great, but the figs were unripe and the walnut was more like...

Had a lovely time for an anniversary with my picky boyfriend who ended up loving the food. Our experience was made 10x better by our AMAZING waitress I believe her name was Sara who helped make our night magical.

From start to end a wonderful evening. We were greeted by enthusiastic staff who were polite and very welcoming. The menu was full of delicious dishes and we asked our waiter to talk us through what she recommended. She was articulate and able to describe...

I love love love Sorella. The food is not what you expect. Unusually and deliciously prepared. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is....in a pandemic, when most of the waitstaff have accents and all are wearing shields or masks, the Sonos is...

We went here just because it's local and looked nice, and realised we'd stumbled upon an absolute gem - clearly people come to it from far afield. Food was delicious and good portions - we shared starters and had a main each and that worked...

Sorella offered a wonderful lockdown collection menu. We ordered a selection of the arancini, short rib ragu, fresh pasta and an oxtail main. They gave us a homemade loaf of bread for free. The cooking instructions were simple and results were excellent. The truffle arancini...

I had dinner in this cute Italian restaurant in Clapham (south London) with a friend of mine and we both enjoyed the dinner. It was a busy night but the service was good: food came Quite fast and it was very good, especially the truffle...

I've been to Sorella on 3 occasions now and had a great experience every time. The food has always been to a brilliant standard. It is limited, but the menu changes regularly for repeat diners. I also think that makes it easier to choose. I'd...

First off I’d booked the wrong Sunday! Doh! Anyway, luckily I’d called because we were running late in the traffic so they squeezed us in. Those serving were all lovely and we had a nice table at the back of the restaurant. Food was all...

First time diners and we were really impressed. The mushroom tagliatelle was fresh, rich and beautiful. The monkfish was delicate, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Service was great. You could tell the manager was present and on top of everything. It’s a well run...

The choice for vegetarians was poor and unimaginative. The menu on the website did not reflect the menu in the restaurant, when we asked about this we were simply told that it changed regularly and the website was not updated. The Primi was tagliatelle with...

I wasn’t sure sorella could quite live up to the dairy but the food was all delicious particularly the gnocchi and the monkfish.

Sorella is the perfect combination of great atmosphere, service and food, and all at a decent price for London. I am coeliac and was still able to enjoy all of my favourite things (including truffle arancini and nduja pasta. My fiancé is half Italian so...

Visited for a birthday (group of 3). The food was all excellent (the pastas unsurprisingly being the star of the show). The staff were all friendly and happy to answer any questions, and the venue itself was bright and welcoming. Highly recommended.

This place was a great find. The food, wine, cocktails and the service were all excellent! We came for Sunday lunch and had the set menu meal .... it was a great way to try lots of different food. Don’t think twice about coming here!

Service was friendly and prompt. Food was excellent- hake was delicious. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Restaurant was full and buzzy. Only reservation was there was no cheese on the menu.

Went back here sooner than anticipated with some friends and it seems to be getting better. They've made some tweaks to the menu and refined it. There's no tasting menu any more and the a la carte choices have been trimmed down. This streamlining has...

Came here for dinner on NYE. Left quite late to book so got an early (6pm) sitting. First impressions were good though music seemed quite loud at first (we were seated close to the speaker). We were quickly given a glass of Prosecco after sitting...

Visited Sorella between Christmas and New Year. Had been recommended and was very busy, even though it's off the beaten track. Family of four and although we all arrived at different times within a fifteen minute period, this posed no problem. Food was absolutely delicious...

I had a very negative experience here with my family for my birthday dinner. The staff handled a situation very badly despite it being escalated to them several times over the course of the evening. I followed up with an email the next day and...

Unfortunately we did not pay enough attention to the reviews. We came for a family birthday as a group of 7 at lunchtime and we were disappointed. It was quiet so no excuses for the time that the food took to arrive. The starters were...

The staff were incredibly rude, calling my partner a 'nuisance' because of her allergies. They then treated us as if they didn't want us to be there and couldn't get rid of us quick enough. Now onto the food - it came late and was...

Me and my girlfriend found this restaurant online and decided do give it a go, however we left really disappointed. The weitress serving us had no manners at all and kept on slamming the plates on our table or pushing us away when she needed...

Lunch yesterday was a huge pleasure. The food seemed well sourced and it was prepared beautifully, with plenty of hard won skill in the background. I can see why Michelin has given you accolades. The stone crockery might not be everyone's preference, but we liked...

Sorella was a recommendation of friends who live a bit closer than we do, although not far. I have been meaning to go to the Dairy for a while, and the Manor before it closed, so glad we finally took the opportunity to try out...

Wanted to come here for a while, Recently been to the sister restaurant The Diary which is quite nice so looking forward to this plc.... I brought a client along with his mother over from the states. Service was excellent throughout as was the food,...

The service was excellent, we were slightly late and they didn't mind at all. The service was very attentive and they kept up topped up with water bottles on the tables. they explained that there might be a wait for the lamb due to how...

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this little gem when on the hut for a gluten free Italian in Clapham. (often a pretty tricky task!) What a treat! Firstly, the staff are all so friendly and helpful, they know the menu inside out. We were...

Had a warm welcome by the very friendly and very attentive staff, who quickly brought me to the table when ready. The menu is small, but has options for everyone. The ingredients were very fresh, I particularly loved the cured meats to start, and the...

Enjoyable dinner for 3 at this lively Clapham restaurant. Crayfish Ravioli and Truffle Tagliatelle for mains and chocolate mousse & mint gelato were the highlights. Service was efficient and friendly - would recommend booking

Sorella is a hard place to review. It does a few things right but gets a lot wrong too. Firstly the good. The quality of ingredients is very high and they're generally handled well. Their cured meats were superb, everything was fresh and flavour balance...

Food portions were extremely small and expensive. The pasta was good when it arrived. Service was appalling. We waited for two hours to receive our main course without being informed as to why. When I asked the waitress at the end of the meal if...

Attended this restaurant with a group of 12. Terrible service, then argumentative waitress and manager. Lack of understanding about diversity. Very likely if you say anything they will make your time worse, they did for me. I paid £950, on reflection the whole experience was...

We were being a little on the greedy side and ordered quite a few different dishes, and each one was exceptionally lovely. Not sure I can pick a favourite, but the asparagus & egg, the cuttlefish linguine and the tomato & sea purslane salad were...

Clapham needs a new good restaurant but this most definitely is not it. Slow service and indifferent food with music blaring. If you offer an unambiguous menu, then you must cook it to perfection (a stand-out was the appalling treatment of a beautiful piece of...

The food was tasty and well presented. But we were a bit disappointed with the services we received. Maybe the didn’t have enough staff. Therefore I’m giving only 3 bubbles. I have a rule with restaurants and they can get away with bad food but...

We ate at Sorella last Saturday night for dinner as two couples. After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor we didn't know what to expect. After having experienced the restaurant I think that it's fair to say that there's a bit of truth to all of...

Friday night and Sorella was fully booked, but our table was ready when we arrived and service was attentive, with plenty of staff on hand. We had a selection of cicchetti and antipasti to start - very tasty - and for main I had pork...

After reading the reviews, we came with high expectations for a tasty dinner. To start - the Truffle arancini were very good but sadly the rest was disappointing. The mackerel crudo portion was miserly for such a cheap fish & the thin slices tasted odd...

Dined early on a Saturday evening with my daughter. We chose a selection of starters to share and finished with a pasta dish each. The menu is not huge but sufficient. Of the starters we loved the arancini balls, fried olives, meats and ricotta. Both...

My wife and I cane here for dinner and tried the tasting menu. Though not all pieces were a hit, we were not disappointed! It is far enough outside central London that you are not plagued with tourists, but close enough that it is easily...

Came here for a lovley family lunch. All courses were enjoyed by all of my company. We had a disabled guest with us and the staff accommodated with ease. Food was amazing quality, staff kind and helpful throughout out visit. I had taken my camera...

Really looking forward to a traditional Italian meal. The menu looked great! The cicchetti, antipasti & primo were all very good, no complaints. However when it came to the secondi, this was very disappointing! We had venison and the duck, both were tough in parts!...

This is a huge improvement on the previous restaurant. The food is delicious and at affordable prices that means it’s the sort of place you can come back to as a regular spot. We will be back!

The starters very poor. I had the mackerel. A very meagre portion lacking in flavour and visual appeal. My companion had what looked like a plate of chopped sausage with some fennel. The pigeon was good according to my companion. I had the mushroom and...

We had the testing menu. Great selection of dishes from the south of Italy. A good proof that Italian food is not all about pizza and pasta. There is much more to it. Probably one of the best Italians around Clapham.

So the food was excellent! Cannot fault a thing food-wise. Great neighbourhood eatery with great food. Service is good although a bit too informal; it’s a nice place, but baggy jeans and high tops are a bit too casual. The table we were sat at...

This restaurant is fantastic. I’ve been twice now and each time have loved the food. The truffle arancini is outstanding and in fact, all the starters were really very good indeed. Seasoned very well too. The rage pasta was also excellent with pasta cooked to...

Very good Italian dishes. A younger set but very good pasta dishes and excellent service. A bit of a taxi drive to get to for a central London holiday traveler but very much worth the ride for a relaxing Italian meal.

Our party of 5 decided to all have the chefs menu and were not disappointed. The many courses are not over large, and we all agreed that the pasta course was exceptional. The service was also very good.

Came here for lunch.. I was interested to see what used to be Manor.. and I was impressed from beginning to end.. we had utterly charming waiters and with a free glass of fizz.. we really didn’t want to leave at the end. Food highlights...

Quiet lunchtime, a great experience. Dishes prepared with care and freshness. Delicious mackerel and charred monkfish dishes; crisp salad vegetables; excellent truffled tagliatelle, not too creamy and not over-truffled. Smiling and prompt service and helpful comments on the wine list. Ambience not too starchy, modern...

I had long wanted to try The Manor, so on a miserably wet Sunday drove to London to try Sorella. We were not disappointed. Every table was full and so we were grateful we'd booked. The menu is pleasingly short so we chose Truffle arancini...

I’ve enjoyed meeting in the “Dairy” in Clapham being that I’m very local. So I was excited to try sorella. I was quite disappointed with how bland the food was. Totally different to the Dairy, which is amazing! Service was good at Sorella but that’s...

I was kean to eat here having been rebranded from old 'Manor'. Owned by the same group as the popular 'Dairy' on the common. The first thing the struck me was that the whole look and feel was no different to when it was the...

We visited Sorella having booked their tasting menu at £55 per head, including a glass of pink champagne. Truffle arancini and aubergine & pecorino on carta da musica were a delicious start, but the meal never really got going in terms of flavour after that....

From the moment I walked in I thought this place is not for me. That trendy, retro look, yellow light bulbs (which give me headache) were making place look darker. We were seated and then smiling waitress came to bring the menus. The place was...

Went for lunch on Saturday and place was pretty empty. We decided to share several appetizers, the Truffle arancini and all 4 PRIMI pasta choices for 3 people. This was a good choice as we ended up tasting a lot of dishes. The arancini was...

we had a double date dinner here, the service is great and the food is fantastic, the menu has many choices including a tasting menu. We had pasta and all the antipasti and the flavours were great as well as the portions. the amient of...

We had a few small plates and then each of the pastas - can't speak for any other dishes but what we ate was really beautiful food. Loved the feel of the place, staff good, wine great and really enjoyed the tableware! Keep it up...

We fancied a nice meal out but not having to go into London. This was a great find. Fabulous local restaurant, the tasting menu was brilliant and very reasonable at £45. The pasta is divine and the chocolate mousse is to die for.

Food was great, enjoyed everything we ordered. Service was a little chaotic considering the amount of staff working but I will return.

We took our son for Sunday lunch last week found this gem hidden behind the Clapham High St. The staff were very welcoming & the food was great. We informed them my wife is vegetarian & she was given a vegetarian Menu & there was...

What a great dinner. Four of us shared a mixture of starters, all of which were excellent, with the arancini balls the standout. The mains satisfied all, but for me the tagliatelle with the truffle shavings was exquisite, and according to my wife, the turbot...

Having eaten at The Dairy in Clapham a couple of times, we were keen to check out this "cousin" - down Clapham Manor Street, off Clapham High Street, via Clapham North Tube. It was a wet gloomy Sunday, but we were warmly welcomed, and enjoyed...

Went to this lovely restaurant for a friends birthday dinner. The service was amazing, so attentive but subtle, our wine glasses were always being topped up, food was delicious (chefs menu) and we all had a fab night...highly recommend this restaurant

Essentially the Manor / Dairy serving some good pasta! Arancini OK, dried meats (copa and salumi) excellent but small portion, pastas good but small and a bit dry. They did inform us that the portion was 55g so were not surprised. I had the linguine...

I love Italian food. This restaurant is the new offering from the Restaurant group that includes the diary and this restaurant used to be the Manor.Same front of house staff, who are friendly and efficient, especially the delightful Spanish head waitress, she is always so...

I’ve visited this restaurant twice now. The dishes are very flavoursome but the portions are small and overall the bill per head is expensive. The restaurant is also very noisy which wasn’t helped by the speakers being cranked up midway during the evening. The problem...

This has become our favourite London restaurant - we went for lunch today and had the chefs Menu at £45 each with a lovely wine, cocktail and digestif. The service was excellent but the food was exquisite - there was not an item that disappointed...

Went the week that it opened. Food was good, staff were excellent but there were tweaks that needed ironing. They have more than done this. One of the best meals that I have had in ages. The cod with squid ink was delicious. Met some...

sadly after a superb meal and service the management let the side down to a slip down the steep slippery stairs used by the employees to serve the food which has spilled foods and warn down wooden steps and warn away grip pads.... to access...

Perfect small local Italian, with a small menu, and truly delicious cooking. Best Italian I have eaten in a long while

The atmosphere was relaxed but waiters were attentive and - unlike many other local eateries - were looking out for people who wanted to catch their eye. The food was very tasty and well presented without being over-the-top. Ideal for a special meal at a...

We really wanted to like this neighbourhood restaurant as the reviews have been good . Unfortunately we were underwhelmed and disappointed by some aspects of this restaurant which could so easily be solved . Someone has already mentioned the loudness of the 70 s music...

I haven’t been here since it was The Manor a few years ago but the space never disappoints. Exposed brick and modern sky lights gives this place all the feels of a cosy New York loft. Next, we noticed the exquisite little plates, all different...
