Sorella Sorella in Gateshead

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

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.

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.

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

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!

Good food with efficient service. Plenty of choice.

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!

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

Visited here for Sunday lunch after recommendations from family who had been on an evening. It was simply superb, I opted for the beef featherblade which was outstanding. Been a proper foodie and and go out most Sundays for lunch this is definitely one of the best. Service first class and food amazing. Family of five and everyone was well impressed Everything tasted so fresh and the gravy!!! Wow, massive well done to the chefs it’s not easy this trade nowadays but keep doing what your doing because it’s amazing. Certainly be back and will be recommending. Well done all at Sorello Sorello

Quite possibly the best Sunday lunch my husband and I have ever had! Outstanding! Staff also amazing , happy and professional , highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back . Thank you Sarah,George and mark Baxter 👍

I have been many times and as always it was lovely. Food great, staff very friendly.

Ordered a pizza which arrived drowned in pesto. I don't like pesto. Pesto was not included in the menu, had I known, I wouldnt have ordered it. If there had been a moderate amount of pesto, I could even have eaten it to avoid waste. Most of the pizza was left uneaten and when the waitress came over to see if we were finished, she asked if I wanted the pizza to be boxed up. I declined and explained why. There was no reaction. The plate was simply carried off without a thought. Anybody wishing to have their food covered in pesto, this is the place for you. Otherwise avoid, avoid avoid.

We'll return again as we always do

Delicious food, efficient staff and lively atmosphere. Thanks

100% the best beef on a Sunday lunch in the area. Sorella is our First choice for Sunday lunch every time however the veg is always a little crunchier than preferred.

Amazing food, lovely restaurant and very nice hard working staff Only complaint I have is with my favourite dish the peppercorn chicken is the portion size! I'm not a big dude or being greedy but literally 4 little pieces of potato for £18 is a wee bit cheeky.. I had to go buy a mc donalds burger afterwards as I was still starving. Its potato! You can get a sack of them for a quid!

A really welcoming décor with very welcoming & friendly staff. The food is the one to really shout about, both me & my partner both complimented the meals. Specifically how you were able to taste how fresh the ingredients were. Overall really great experience and would highly recommend.

Completely horrible experience. On spec table for 2 which was available but had to wait in lounge. First mistake... no offer of a drink while waiting. Seated after a short wait. Took a while for drinks order to be taken. Starter, garlic bread with cheese. Pizza base, little garlic and smothered in basil oil ( no mention of which on menu) base soggy. Seafood starter consisted of crab croquettes (like cheap scampi) deep fried white bait. (Soggy) calamari ( chewy) and bullet prawns! All served lukewarm. Main of cajun pizza... inedible. So burnt. Main of seafood marinara, Oily pasta with a few cherry tomatoes. I understand marinara is a tomato based sauce? Mussels which were the only flavoursome part and of course, the bullet prawns. 3 times our server passed and saw my empty glass with out asking if i wanted another, I had to ask for another drink. My husband was too embarrassed to complain and would not let me do so. We paid for the food and asked for the pizza to be boxed for home to save an embarrassing complaint scene. Pizza was thrown away! 65 pounds for most part to be thrown away. I have contacted via email to raise concerns and no response. I have no idea how this place is so busy. Terrible food and service. One photo of my starter shows how dry and overcooked it looked. Other photos added are what we didn't eat

Wow! What a lovely place with such a welcoming atmosphere. For drinks I started off with a gorgeous frozen strawberry daiquiri which was then followed by some brilliant food. We would 100% recommend the Gnocchi Al Forno and the Sicilian Seafood Stew. The staff could not have been more attentive and we will definitely be back!

Enjoyable meal, although service for drinks was a bit mixed up.

Lovely styled restaurant. We opted to sit outside. There is no table service, but that's not a bother. Food arrived in good time and was delicious. Can't wait to go back!

The kids took me for Father's Day, and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be going back. The staff were lovely and very helpful.

As usual drinks prices are rediculess especially soft drinks 2 larger Shandy's 2 blackcurrant and water £16-80

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

A fantastic place with excellent food

Feather beef Sunday lunch are to die for

Lovely clean place. Staff very friendly and food is devine

Food was fabulous..staff very attentive..

Really lovely food, competitive prices, good parking, friendly staff.

Having been welcomed by the lovely Mark, and then Molly who looked after us amazingly. We came along on Friday 5th May for our Daughters 52nd Birthday 6 of us ate and drank, had various starters and mains, all absolutely lovely. The comment from our Son-In- Law was "a Cracking Night". The Service and attention to detail was super and we will defiantly be back soon.

Saturday evening visit, usually go for the best Sunday lunch. Delicious, perfectly cooked fillet steak with the best ever twice-cooked homemade chips. Mixed grill was plentiful and everything was tasty. Great service and busy atmosphere. Reasonably priced for the quality. Would definitely recommend. They serve gluten free pasts, pizza and other choices.

Very good fresh food reasonably priced. Service is good. Restaurant is spotless

I wasn't particularly wow'd. We waited a while for after dinner drinks and the food was nice. Nothing to write home about.

The pasta carbonara was a little short of sauce. But was added on request,

Great food, lovely place… only reason for 4 rather than 5 star was that the meal took a very long time to come and when you have 4 small children there, they can’t really wait!!!

Low rating just because hours were posted wrong. Google says it's open till 9:30 on Sunday (which is the day we went). When we opened the door, we noticed a sign that they closed at 8 on Sunday. We went ahead and politely asked the staff if they were closed; they responded that they closed at 6. They were very nice though. *** Just please put accurate hours online.

Lovely staff, food came after short delay indicating that it was freshly cooked

Family and friend's go often which says a lot.

10 of us for Sunday roast today. Best roast we've had. Really delicious & plentiful. Service wss brilliant too. All our meals came out together. Will definitely be back. Compliments to the chef & staff.

10/10 as always, I had the Pollo parmigiana

The staff are really friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. One of the best Italian restaurants in the North East!

Recommend you book and enjoy a meal here.

Go now and again... And enjoy every visit, well worth a try.

Staff were very friendly and had a good knowledge of allergens. Food is good and good sized portions. The only let down was the table hadn't been cleaned very well before our arrival. It looked clean but it was sticky which was a little off putting. We would go back again though. After going back again, I can say it was even better. Table was very clean this time. Food was fantastic and very filling portions!

Overcooked main meaning tough prawns and really dry chicken with a not very nice sauce that I think was made from tomatoe soup. The other half had pollo al pepe again the sauce wasn't great with rock hard roast potatoes that seemed like they been reheated a dozen times.

Lovely 90th Birthday celebrations for Dad, with family.

Decided last minute to eat here - was not disappointed. Online booking was painless. On arrival we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. Our order was taken and drinks then food arrived in good time. Food was unreal - duck pate and patato skins to start, Gnocchi al forno and Lobster ravioli for mains and a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake for dessert. Was a little noisy for my liking but then it was a saturday night so I can't really dwell too much on that - or certainly wouldn't stop me going back.

Mothers day dinner out. Lovely friendly service. Food outstanding best Sunday dinner around meat just falls apart.

Exceptional Food & Service...Especially the Black Forest Cheesecake, it was amazing...Service was outstanding...I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, we will definitely be returning

We’d booked a table for four on Saturday night. Very busy restaurant, quite a few parties and a bit noisy, but this only confirmed that the place is popular. Orders taken by a friendly waiter and we didn’t have to wait long. All meals were excellent and none of our party were disappointed with their choices. Great good, great company and will definitely be back soon.

Fabulous food and very good service , Gateshead is very lucky to have Sorella Sorella as a restaurant and also La Cucina as a fast food takeaway, both serving the best food 10/10 to you both

I've been here a few times, and food is always great. Tried the Sunday dinners this time. Great!!

First time visit for a birthday celebration, food was very very good and the service was second to none. A special mention for the Canadian waitress who was attentive and professional too, and also liked a joke! I would've given a higher rating if possible!

Not for me, didn't greatly care for much on the menu. Service was fine but dont like the close tables not my bag.

Amazing Sunday lunch lovely very friendly staff and great service 👍

Food was very good and generally a nice place only reason for not giving full marks was the over attentive waitress who made us feel under pressure to finish meal and leave which I didn't understand as it was not busy and we were a 7.30 booking so no one waiting for the table

Amazing Sunday lunch with a great service from the friendly staff highly recommended definitely be back!

Lovely staff, great food and atmosphere

Fabulous good, great atmosphere

Great place to dine with friends.

We visited for the first time in December 2022, and had a gorgeous meal with all of the family. We’ve visited twice since and cannot fault a single thing. A lovely restaurant, service is immaculate, relaxed and friendly, and very child friendly, offering crayons and...

I’ve popped in here with my partner quite a few times over the past few years and am never left disappointed. I have coeliac disease and the amount of gluten free options is brilliant. Not only that, but they taste absolutely amazing - the pasta...

Really nice place to eat, food is delicious, service is good. Marked down one star for service as I ordered a drink, it didn't arrive so I had to order at the bar. When I went to pay, the drink that didn't arrive was on my bill but it was removed with no issue. I had gnocchi, it was amazing, huge portion though, I couldn't finish it. My partner had pollo Neptune and said it was spot on.

Booked table for 5 on a Thursday evening. Very busy when we arrived, as the special menu was on until 6pm. Waiter service good, friendly staff. Lots of choices on menu, reasonable prices. Food delicious. Huge portion of potato skins. Risotto Pollo, pizza Aphrodite and...

Great food and service everytime
