Sorella Sorella in Gateshead

We have visited four times and each time had a really fantastic meal. Lovely wine and service from young adults who are polite, professional and really well trained. The atmosphere is lovely and especially nice for my dad who is hard of hearing and can still pick up the conversation as it’s not too noisy. Highly recommended

It refreshing the atmosphere os bright and welcoming

Good food good service nice atmosphere.

Great Sunday lunch at this consistently good local restaurant. The restaurant was busy, they 350 covers on a Sunday yet the service was superb. Every member of the team was friendly and professional. Italian menu runs along the Sunday roasts. Generous portions of tasty food, loads of veg, nice roast and lashings of gravy or maybe you prefer a rib sticking, outstanding lamb ragu. We loved both ❤️

A busy restaurant with a good atmosphere. Never had a bad meal or service. Highly recommend booking, especially on weekends.

A nice Italian. Large portion sizes. Pizzas were all pretty good. Perhaps a little too much toppings on some of them. My pizza had prawns and chicken with garlic. But there was far too much garlic on it for my preference. Everyone else really enjoyed their food. Bonus for me was the availability of some craft beer - Anarchy Brew Co.

I had beef blade said served with jus but the whole meal was covered in a thick nearly black gravy. It was so salty the meal was inedible

Lovely meal tonight and exceptional.service 10/10 from us .cant wait for the next visit.vwry reasonably priced and you can tell good quality food they use !

Went in for my Mam's 50th. Incredible food and great service

First time visiting here, really enjoyed my date night! My only down side was we weren’t checked on at all throughout our meal. Starter was amazing, although I wished they’d explained what was on it as we had to figure it out a bit and the menu wasn’t very descriptive. My partners main was lovely, I went for a safe carbonara but the bacon was a bit fatty and chewy. I had the spooky cheesecake for afters which was delicious. Overall would go back as I did enjoy most of the food ☺️

Not impressed at all! My wife's lasagne was not fully heated and my carbonara had ham/bacon which was hard as bricks, typical not nuked correctly food! Avoid

I hv had many experiences of Sunday Dinner, i can only remember one that equals this 10/10 If you can find fault with this place you need to stay home.

The beef blade Sunday lunch was tremendous. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful meal tonight. Food was lovely, quick friendly service and hood value

Brilliant food and service atmosphere lacking background music apparently music was on in the ladies beer not cold enough nor the wine but the food especially the Tempura prawns magnificent

Always a family favourite, never a bad meal

We hadn't been for a while but decided to pop in for lunch while passing. Food was lovely, good size portions, service good and nice decor. We will definitely be back soon.

Always top class Italian food. Great staff and good atmosphere.

Family of 4 went for tea and although the place was very busy, service was still pretty good. The food was enjoyed by all including desserts. I highly recommend the Cajun pizza, it was gorgeous! Pricing is around average.

We had a family birthday celebration on 25th September 2024 and 8 of us attended. We were welcomed into the restaurant by a friendly and courteous young man and shown to our table straightaway. Our table was located in the pleasant rear of the restaurant where the decor was in an italian style tastefully done. Our orders for drinks were taken quickly and delivered soon after. We then ordered 2 garlic bread with cheese pizzas and they were among the best we have ever had. My wife and I shared a pizza from the specials menu with a side order of vegetables and fries. It was served hot on warm plates and cooked perfectly. The standard and quality of our meal was matched for all of our party, some having pizza and others having pasta or rissotto. There were 3 are vegetarians in our party and there was plenty of choice. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout without being too obvious and they could not have been more helpful. We had a great time there and would recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, quality of food, service and cost. It was not expensive working out at about £26 per head for 2 courses and drinks. Well done to all of the staff especially the young male waiter who greeted us on arrival and looked after us throughout the evening. Can't wait to go again.

Delicious food, restaurant was a bit loud but that was due to it being very busy.

This is truly one of the best Italian restaurants in the north east. The food is absolutely outstanding, the portions are very very generous and the value for money is exceptional. Not only that, the staff are extremely tentative and know what they are doing. Keep it up!

Amazing food. The service is brilliant everyone is very friendly. Great atmosphere and there is lots of variety on the menu.

We had our second visit to Sorrella Sorrella. Even better than the first. Lovely food and great service from lovely young waiters. Thanks

Excellent food, lovely staff and wonderful decor! Will visit again!!

Booked tonight for our anniversary had a beautiful meal so tasty. Staff were amazing no waiting between courses. Will definitely return

We’ve been a few times and can’t fault it. Our favourite Italian restaurant. Staff are friendly, fast and food is insane! We highly recommend! Very reasonable for the quality you get! We recommend to everyone we know!

Very busy and noisey food was mostly good The risotto was not cooked The rice was still crunchy.service was good and attentive.if you are going we found it quietened down after 8.30.

The restaurant outside and inside looks good unfortunately it does not. Match the food. My wife had pasta with broccoli it was not seasoned at all. It was swimming in oil she left half of it. I asked the waiter if the pizzas are wood fired and he said yes. So I ordered the pork and beef toppings pizza. It was probably the worst pizza I had for a while. I am quite sure the pizza base tasted frozen and it was no where near wood fired pizza. Is it authentic Italian restaurant not Evan close debatable.

A Birthday gathering for a 70th celebration. A lovely Restaurant with excellent staff and prompt service. The Sunday lunch Menu is short but quite acceptable. Everyone at the table (10) was happy with their meal and I am happy to endorse the Beef lunch. That is the best Sunday lunch I have had for a long time! It was excellent!! Plenty of it, hot and well cooked! Well done to everyone there. DAC.

Lovely and clean, food was very tasty and nice glass of wine. Even charged my phone up for me. Staff clean and pleasant. Went for lunch with my daughter. 👌

Pleasant surroundings nice staff lovely food at good value - what more do you need.

I have to say the place is wonderful food is amazing. But!!!. The service is very very poor waiting for staff to attend is letting the place down overall. I should never have to get out of my chair to ask for the bill? Very poor having to wait more than 20mins to be offered a drink?. And I was wanting a dessert but because I sat for more 20mins. I just asked for the bill?

Food was amazing, but unfortunately the service was terrible. Waited over 20 mins for the service staff to ask what we wanted for drinks. Food was out quite quick, then was going to order dessert but after the menus were given to us no one came to ask if we wanted to order, then we waited that long we had to go to the bar and ask for the bill, when the staff were clearly just talking to one another behind the bar. Overall disappointed, great food let down by waiter staff.

We had Sunday lunch here and it was lovely. We both had the feather blade of beef which came with a whole roasted carrot, mashed potato, roast potatoes, turnip, green beans, stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding. The place was busy but you had plenty of room. My wife had the Lilt cheesecake and I finished off with a coffee. The staff are lovely and helpful. I recommend this place for an excellent Sunday lunch.

Came here with my nephew for Sunday dinner. I hadn’t been for a couple of years & had forgot how amazing these dinners are. Great service, food piping hot & lovely staff.

Went for Sunday lunch and had the beef which was delicious, staff very helpful.

Absolutely Outstanding! Went there for the first time last night (5th). Me and my partner have been talking about trying this place for a very long time, I only wish we’d have gone sooner. Bread and olives to start, a mountain pile of fresh bread with balsamic and oil and large, fresh olives, like Marco Pierre White said “You can always tell a restaurant’s quality from the quality of their olives” and they were incredible! Next up for mains, I had the tagliatelle Lamb Ragú and my partner had the linguine Marinara (a seafood pasta). We were both astounded by the size of the portions, portions fit for a king, we were both expecting much smaller portions as the price of lamb and seafood is very expensive. I tried my partners and wow it was amazing we’ve had seafood pasta in a lot of different places but they always lack flavour. This, on the other hand, definitely did not. Absolutely delicious! The lamb ragú, the star of the show, was absolutely Devine the flavours were perfect and the meat practically melted in your mouth. I’ve made many Ragú’s before, beef, duck Ect but I’ve never thought of lamb and wow what an interesting choice, I will definitely be trying to replicate that. A side of polenta fries was ordered and they were delicious and so different to anything I’ve ever had, tasty, crispy served with a rich dip. I was incredibly full but insisted I needed to try the tiramisu, it came and it was light and fluffy mascarpone cream, coffee-infused sponge, a hint of that alcohol, possibly amaretto and chocolate, perfect. I’m a chef so finding places like this is always an amazing experience, a place where food comes perfectly seasoned and cooked, the chefs are working hard here! We ordered cocktails while we were there, and every single one was perfect, some of the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had more than a few, me and my partner both agreed the Raspberry Ripple cocktail was perhaps the best we had ever tried full stop and not only have we both tried a lot of them in many different places but she used to make them, working behind the bar in the restaurant we both worked in. The atmosphere was good plenty of people having a good time which is nice to see, the waiter/waitress staff were perfect, sometimes, in restaurants, the wait staff are all over you and over the top and it gets extremely overwhelming. Other times you can be sat there for ages waiting thinking if someone’s going to come and take your order or ask if drinks are needed. Not here, they were a perfect balance, not in your face over the top but were attentive enough to take orders in a reasonable time frame and ask if you needed a refill if your drink was nearing its end. Everyone was fantastic! If there’s one place to try for your next trip out let it be here! I wish I could give it a 10 out of 5. Thank you to all the staff and hard-working chefs for a fantastic evening we will 1000% be returning.

Amazing food tonight. Loved my tandoori chicken kebab lovely friendly staff very attentative .we cant wait to return soon 10/10 from us sorella sorrella.!

Gorgeous Sunday dinner would highly recommend

Come here very regularly can’t fault the place to be honest, food is very consistent, service is consistent.

Unbelievable food for a reasonable price. Portions are more than enough. Very good

The exteria and interior of Sorella Sorella was very nice. Service was exceptional ( friendly and courteous). There was a great selection of food, which was beautiful. Totally recommend Sorella Sorella.

Daughter's pizza was too charred. My dish was unfortunately very bland.

Great restaurant, been meaning to come for quite a while and did not regret it when finally did

Pizza dough is really poor for a Italian Restaurant. Chicken Kiev was over cooked . Won't be returning sadly . Have to say the staff were really good and very efficient. It's a shame because its good location .

Beautiful food. And considering the quality and quantity, I'd say it's a good price too. We'll definitely go back for more!

The restraint is decorated lovely but the atmosphere is loud. The food came very quickly, but sadly the pizzas were average. Then this morning when I went to eat my leftovers they had only packed 2 slices when I had 3 left over and they placed it in the same box as my partners meat pizza without asking. Very overpriced in my opinion for the quality received.

New easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Absolutely phenomenal food and portions, the service was amazing (and they didn't add a service charge onto the bill so the tip actually felt like a tip), the place is beautiful and I couldn't think of a single complaint even if I wanted too!

Lovely meal with lots of gluten free options.

My pizza was fine but the basic arrabiata the Mrs had was tasteless.

Food was very good, we were in late afternoon so it was a quiet atmosphere.

First time here very impressed firstly loved the decor on entry ,service was very good friendly staff ,and the food was really good ,we shared the potato skins to start ,they were the best Ive had ,yes you might say potato skins but truly I wanted the recipe ,then the main course halloumi pizza for me delish such a generous portion obviously had to have a doggy bag ,hubby had chicken Kiev he said it was the best he’s had and we got more chips included once again the best weve had ate a bit too many so tasty ,all in all a lovely place with great food great service ,and outside seating ,when we eventually get some heat in the air

Disappointed in the scallops, they were mushroom scallops. Well worded deceiving menu. The rest of the food was, however, wonderful .

Cracking spot! Real Italian food.

Lovely food. Great service. Just a bit too noisy for my but other than that really lovely!

We are quite regular to sorella sorella but tonight we were disappointed. The pasta dishes have reduced in size. Some of our favourite dishes have been removed from the menu. And when we ordered dessert they hadn't actually put the order through. So after 25 mins of waiting, then finding out they hadn't even put the order through to the kitchen we cancelled it. But there was no apology from the staff. We struggled to order a second round of drinks so we ended up having to go to the bar ourselves. We've definitely had better service than we got tonight. May think twice before returning.

FANTASTIC FOOD,EXCELLENT SERVICE.ITS NOT FULL FOR NOTHING....

Went Saturday night and it was very busy but the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly with fantastic food will definitely be going back again soon

Best Sunday lunch in the north east

Had a lovely evening for my grandsons 18th Food was lovely and staff very attentive Would definitely recommend

First time here table booked by friends. Bit of a struggle parking as the place was rammed with diners. Nice place full of italiano memorabilia, great decor, old style fiat 500 images dotted about, black and white images and an old vespa scooter parked up inside. I went for the 2 course fixed price lunch menu - starter was really good, Italian flatbread with pesto, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic & rocket 🥰 however, the main was not so hot....literally as it was served luke warm which was a shame as I was looking forward to it : gnocchi with sundried tomatoes & olives in a tomato & basil sauce but it was extremely salty. If I hadnt been falling through myself with hunger I'd have sent it back but despite that I'd give the place another go if I was in the area.

Absolutely beautiful, Staff are lovely, beautifully decorated and reasonably priced.

I just can't fault this fantastic restaurant. Popped in for lunch with family including a boisterous 10yr old who absolutely loved the pasta. The 10yr old also took a shine to the moped in the lounge area and staff were so lovely and encouraging with them. We'll definitely be back!

Lovely place, impeccable service, amazing food, great atmosphere.

Brilliant staff, great food and a lovely ambience, what more can you ask for.

Amazing meal for Sunday lunch. The team are professional, very personable and attentive even with the restaurant very busy. Great food and great atmosphere. Mark and team work really hard and their customer service is impeccable.

Had a nice meal of chicken, potatoes and broccoli and lamb ragu. Both mains were good and the limosa was tasty as well. The desserts were my favourite, Eton Mess and amoretto, espresso and ice cream dish. Both were very good! The service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. A very full and happy place to eat!

Food was so good staff ate great too

Great food, lots of variaty. Great pizza, and solid pasta. Recommend the lasagna and the lovely white sauce pizza (name escapes me). Lasagna and chunky ships however will warm your heart and belly.

Recommended by a friend, such a great restaurant, we'll be back. Thank you

Dry pizza, dry atmosphere, dry service

Always great food, great staff and super atmosphere (and Grandma Viv was paying!) 🤭🥰

First time we've been here and we will definitely come back. Lovely, friendly staff who can't do enough for you.

Food here is absolutely spot on the service even better the manager here mark who I presume is the manager or owner wants holding onto for as long as possible as he is the main man makes everyone feel more than welcome and looks after all the customers properly cannot stress that enough

They could have tried a bit harder. We found not much on the menu. For a wedding reception they could have tried a bit harder. They want to think their menu planning out to the better - only then will they really win.

fast becoming my favorite Italian. the food is great and service is as well

Love this restaurant as the food is so tasty and staff are very friendly.

Food was great. Drinks were slow. Unable to split the bill which was a big frustration for a large party

Prompt service, friendly staff, food was delicious. Really good deals on during the day time too.

Been to Sorella Sorella many times over the years since it opened and it always impresses. Today, being a Sunday, we decided we’d go for Sunday lunch as we weren’t entirely sure we wanted a “Sunday dinner” when we booked and new we could have pizza or pasta instead if we so wished. By the time we were heading there the Mrs and I both decided roast chicken dinner was order of the day. However…… when we went in and were presented with the weekly specials menu too, things changed. I read it first and said to the Mrs “I’m having the fish of the day” her draw dropped so much it hit the floor - I’M NOT A FISH FAN - 🤣 the menu was promptly snatched out of my hand with her thinking it was cod and chips! 🤣🤣🤣 it was cod and it did come with spicy fries but the cod was coated in a miso dressing and served with asian vegetables in the most amazing sauce with Japanese style rice crackers. Of course she then jumped on the band wagon! Also on the specials was a starter of beef strips in a spicy sate sauce which we opted to share. OMG! What an amazing plate of food that was! When the main course arrived we were not disappointed- it was sublime! I’m a very fussy eater and would say a fillet steak was, until today, my favourite meal ever, BUT! Wow this sate beef starter and cod main course were by far the best food I’ve ever had in a restaurant anywhere in the world! Sorry to the guy two tables away who ordered after us and was told we had the last of the fish! Well done team Sorella Sorella! You never fail to impress but this was AMAZING! See you soon!

Reserved a table for 4. Got there. The table was that small. I only had anuff room for one leg, so the outher was outside the table the hole meal, so I ended up not even sitting at the table right. Staff did come to the table to ask if we wanted drinks and deliver the food but didn't offer to move us to a bigger table. The food was unpleasant. Salty. The pasta was hard and not aldenti. The lobster dish was far to lemony and again salty. And the cabanara meat was just pices of fat so was not eaten. When we passed on our issues, the staff said they would speak to the kitchen....no apology or offers to have a refund or even a discount. £110 on food that was not enjoyed or even eaten.

Very good seafood risotto, plenty of seafood content

My food was absolutely disgusting. The pasta was hard and it felt like there was just loads of salt and lemon all over that couldn’t eat it no apology no nothing waste service

Delicious authentic food, friendly staff and a lovely overall experience. Highly recommend!

We went as a family having come to the area to visit Beamish. The restaurant was almost full which is a good sign on a Wednesday night. Food, drink and service was all excellent and very reasonably priced. The portions were large. Top notch all round. Highly recommended!

Good food with efficient service. Plenty of choice.

Had a fabulous meal with family very busy Friday night so must book Staff attentive food tasty desserts amazing Car park very busy but managed to get a space just waited 5 mins

First time visiting Sorella Sorella, but it definitely won't be my last..

Haven't visited for years! celebrated my grandads birthday with a family meal here last night! Beautiful food & great portion! cocktails were delicious too!

Beautiful food, great atmosphere & lovely cocktails! Will definitely be back! we had a lovely family meal celebrating my grandads birthday!

1st time, visit and easy to see why it can be difficult to book at peak times. Nice food 👍

Mark and his team were fab and the food was delicious. Couldn't have asked for more!!

One of our favourite restaurants. Service is always spot on and food is delicious. The spaghetti carbonara is particularly wonderful and I love their risotto.

Our first visit and will be returning, lovely atmosphere and brilliant service with great tasting food

The best Sunday Roast around????

We tried this restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and it was lovely. Nice busy atmosphere for a Wednesday night, which shows how popular it is. Food was delicious and portions are great size. Staff really friendly and accommodating. Free onsite parking although does get busy. Toilets nice and clean. Will definitely be back, 100% recommend!

Lovely friendly place food was delicious,staff friendly and attentive ,great atmosphere spotless clean . Woul definitely recommend

This place is one of our favourite places to go. The food is delicious every time without fault. The staff are attentive and helpful. It is busy because it is so popular so I recommend booking in advance.

Went with work was very good food and service will be back
