Sorrento Italian Restaurant in Stroud

When in Gloucestershire i always come to this great family restaurant.Home made food cooked with care to make sure it’s perfect.The 2 great brothers want to please and i love there company.Reminds me of our restaurants were before the chains.Great great food

Our family had a fantastic meal here today. The garlic bread was delicious as were all main courses especially the spaghetti bolognaise . Staff were attentive and we had a very enjoyable lunch. Portions were very generous

We dined at this restaurant on the 17th of May 2021 - the first night we were allowed to eat inside again post lockdown 2. We are a family of 6 and we all had 3 courses and it was excellent quality, presentation and taste. They treat you like Kings and Queens - the service is fantastic. The added bonus is that the staff are good looking too! If you are debating whether to book, don't think about it anymore and give them a call now - they get so busy! We are definitely returning :-)

First time visiting sorrento’s as I read amazing reviews and it Definitely lived up to expectations! Food was absolutely delicious and there was such a lovely friendly atmosphere. The limoncello was a perfect way to end a perfect evening. Will be sure to visit again soon!!

Prompt delivery and generous portions. Stunning food full of flavour. I recommend the pasta and the pizza garlic bread!!

We had a fantastic locked down takeaway meal for my husbands birthday. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Thank you!

Ordered takeaway pasta and pizza this evening. Food cooked to order and ready when they said it would be. Great pizza, nice thin and crispy crust and just the right amount of topping. Pasta Arriabata was delicious. All good value for money and great quality.

I have eaten in & ordered takeaway numerous times from this family friendly establishment, & they never disappoint. Highly recommended!

Very good authentic pizzas. Good pricing and a nice sized pizza. If I lived locally I would definitely return. Staff are polite and friendly. Lots of choice and all the food that came out for other tables look great. Thanks

Good food and big portions. It was extremely busy on a Monday night but service was fine. Restaurant was just too hot - needs more air flow!

Tuvimos una comida de equipo aquí en agosto, la comida era muy buena. Fue durante la ola de calor, por lo que se estaba asando por dentro, pero el servicio fue amable y la comida estaba bien presentada y sabrosa. Utilizamos el plan de comer fuera para ayudar y quedamos muy impresionados.

Habiendo completado una larga caminata por el circuito de Slad Valley, sentí una clara necesidad de sobrecarga de carbohidratos. La solución más simple que se me ocurrió fue aplastar una especie de plato de pasta. Hice una búsqueda en la red y encontré a Sorrento, como el italiano más cercano. Entré sin esperar mucho, ya que Stroud difícilmente se considera un centro de excelencia culinaria. La primera sorpresa fue lo amable que fue el personal, honestamente puedo decir que no podrían haber hecho más para que nos sintiéramos bienvenidos y cómodos. La segunda sorpresa fue el extenso menú, que incluía una amplia variedad de platos de carne, todos los cuales sonaban apetitosos. Opté por el Spaghetti Carbonara, ya que el plato que quería en un primer momento se había acabado. Me decepcionó un poco tener que sustituir Carbonara, ya que había tenido el otro plato en mi mente durante la mayor parte de la caminata de Slad.El plato llegó y se presentó de manera impresionante y claramente había sido cocinado con ingredientes de calidad. Honestamente puedo decir que la carbonara de Sorrento fue uno de los mejores platos italianos que he probado en mi vida. Me sorprendió la pura excelencia del plato, ya que de nuevo no era algo que esperaba encontrar en Stroud. Habiendo quedado satisfecho con mi plato principal, decidí disfrutar de los profiteroles caseros, que resultaron ser igualmente impresionantes. En general, mi experiencia fue muy placentera y no dudo en recomendar este pequeño descubrimiento excepcional. Sin duda volveré en un futuro próximo.

Llegué tarde en la noche para una comida rápida después de jugar a los bolos, y fue recibido por un personal amable que explicó el toque de queda actual. Teníamos una hora para comer y partir, pero el personal no nos hizo sentir prisa y nos ofreció entrantes, postres y café. Los camareros eran conversadores y conversaban con nosotros. Ambos comimos pizza que estaba deliciosa y una gran porción. Definitivamente regresaremos a este restaurante cuando esté en la zona cuando podamos disfrutar de una comida más larga.

Had a meal here. Starter was lovely. Had bruscetta and husband had meat plate, was massive. Had pasta and then a really nice banoffee pie. Would defo recommend going here. Was really busy so best to book so you dont end up disappointed

Reservé una comida aquí para la familia. Mesas colocadas en el restaurante y pedidos rápidos tanto de comida como de bebida. Tenía el típico restaurante italiano del Reino Unido centrado en pizzas y pastas. En general, la comida era buena sin ser increíble y representaba una buena relación calidad-precio. Volveríamos a ir de nuevo si en la zona.

Had a really Exellent meal there today with my mum.. great food and great service.. highly recommend. Thankyou

My husband and I ate here last Sunday evening and had a lovely meal. Andrea was very friendly and attentive as a waiter. We sampled the Italian lemon liqueur, Limoncello, which was delicious :-)

Recientemente visitamos los Cotswolds alojándonos en Stroud y comimos aquí dos veces durante nuestra visita. Como visitante frecuente de restaurantes italianos (tanto en el Reino Unido como en Italia) puedo decir que este restaurante es magnífico. Hay una muy buena selección de platos de pasta y pizzas y también una excelente selección de budines. También hay una tabla de ofertas especiales, por lo que también hay algo de variedad a diario.El personal fue genial. Andrea especialmente fue excelente, muy amable y llena de recomendaciones. Aceptamos su sugerencia de visitar Bibury y no nos decepcionó.

Amazing food. Lovely, friendly, attentive service. Good fun for my friend and I. Would definitely go again. Thank you team Serrento! X

Everything about our first visit was good, and considering we were all struggling with Covid19 restrictions at the time, they were managing things very well. Very typically Italian, with good service, very attentive to their customers, bustling activity, good food with a good choice for both carnivores and vegetarians

Had a fantastic meal at Sorrento. Our table wasn't ready so we had a brief wait outside as they cleared due to social distancing which was reassuring. Once seated the staff were attentive but you didn't feel rushed. The surroundings are pleasant. Our drinks were taken and served whilst we chose our meals. The food we had was amazing. Could not fault it at all. It was all hot and good portion sizes. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Me and my friends went for a meal, bare in mind there are 4 of us all under 16. We were treated amazingly and with respect. We all enjoyed our food and we totally recommend it.

due to the restaurant being full to capacity (due to the superb food they do) we had a takeaway,a variety of steaks and spag bol, all cooked to perfection.very highly recommended.

Lovely, lovely restaurant. The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and excellent value and the atmosphere is perfect. If you're around Stroud and fancy an excellent meal in a proper restaurant, look no further than Sorrento.

I went with my girlfriend on the first week of the eat out to help out scheme and after going to the restaurant many times before was excited about this trip. However after some time we noticed more and more tables were being served before us who had arrived later than us, after an hour in the restaurant the waiter came over to us to give a basic apologise and that they had forgotten to give the kitchen our order.There was no offer of any discount or free drinks just a basic apology with no timings of when our food would arrive, eventually after an hour and a half of waiting our starters arrived.Has put me off going to the restaurant again could only imagine my anger if we had paid full price for the service as well. Couldn’t even order desserts as the restaurant was closing by the time we had our mains.

Had a wonderful family meal here. The service was excellent and the food was freshly made and tasted divine. Everyone had a great time and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant was very busy so I would definitely book ahead. We highly recommend!!

We pre-booked the restaurant whilst on a short holiday in the Cotswolds and were not disappointed, The staff were very friendly, the food was served up very fast, and was excellent quality and taste. Without a doubt, one of the best Italian restaurants that we have ever visited. Only problem is that we do not live near Stroud!

We booked but arrived early but were seated straight away. The waiters were friendly and efficient. I had one of the best steaks I’ve had. Lovely food. Very popular restaurant so must be good

We had a fabulous evening hereFood was wonderfulAuthentic home cooked ItalianMushrooms to start were delicious as was the mozzarella and tomato saladEven the garlic bread was done really well My ‘go to’ pizza choice was probably the best I’ve had anywhere Staff were very friendly and helpfulHonestlyPay no attention to negative reviewsThis is a wonderful restaurant and good value too

We had an exceptionally nice lunch here for a family birthday. Delicious food across all three courses, authentic Italian menu & atmosphere, and also, importantly, we felt very safe in the new covid era. Highly recommended by grandparents and grandchildren alike!

Anyone leaving a bad review about this restaurant and its staff are talking BS, Great food , great staff and great atmosphere, what more do you want ? We've been going here for years and never had a bad meal , in fact if we are eating in town we wont go anywhere else , and they have "best eatery in stroud " awards to back me up , well worth a visit and fool you if you dont

Went here as a treat on our trip to the area. Diet Coke had no taste and watered down when we said something we were told we were wrong but we were offered other drinks. The starters were ok. We all had pizzas they were undercooked and tasteless. Toppings dumped on. 2 of our party had goats cheese that tasted very strong and disgusting. Due the response about the coke we just picked it off. The hand sanitiser also appeared to be watered down. On the way home we had to pull over for the people who had had the goats cheese to vomit. They bothed continued to be ill for the remainder of the evening! We have reported them the food standards agency.Our advice DON’T EAT HERE!

My family and I decided to go out to dinner to experience the ‘eat out to help out’ deal. As with every time we have visited, we were blown away by the friendliness, the quality and the lovely atmosphere of Sorrento. Despite the busy service and our table of seven, all meals were cooked to perfection and the service was impossible to criticise, it was flawless. I would highly recommend! Thank you to the lovely team at Sorrento for a wonderful evening!

The price is very very reasonable for great food and atmosphere is very very pleasant. Anyone who is into Italian food needs to come and try it out. The staff are extremely efficient and very friendly, they go out fo their way to make sure you have a good time.

I visited Sorrento’s whilst on a trip to stroud with my family, the good reviews had us very excited for a delicious italian! Upon our arrival we were seated and waited around twenty minutes to even get a drink ordered a.... a bad start.It then proceeded to take a further 2 hours for our food to arrive (19.30-21.30) but this was excusable as the restaurant was incredibly busy and you could see the waiters were being very much overworked. I ordered a carbonara that looked delicious at first but upon first bite i soon realised it was ENTIRELY flavourless, this was easily resolved as there was salt and pepper on the table so by adding some it had become far more edible. However, i soon came to realise that the carbonara was completely covered in oil and completely missing the cream cream as a carbonara usually should have, the middle/bottom section of the pasta was soaked in oil and left a totally oily residue in my mouth and on my lips. It was inedible!!! I was throughly disappointed by this as we had waited so long and i could only eat about 2 or 3 forkfuls of my meal. However, the other members of my group had the linguine and penne con funghi e pollo, which were all thoroughly enjoyed! The lasagne was slightly burnt but still enjoyable.This was a disappointing experience with Sorrento’s for me as there were such fantastic reviews but it didn’t perform as well as i had hoped.

We very much enjoyed our visit to Sorrento restaurant. There was an extensive menu, plus specials to choose from. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and professional. We shall return again when we next visit Stroud.

We returned to Sorrentos last night, for the first time since before lockdown, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were greeted in the same usual, very friendly manner by the staff and enjoyed yet another superb meal. The food was its usual high standard and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which ranged from veal to chicken to pizza. The staff were very attentive and courses were served at exactly the right times.Due to social distancing, the tables were spaced out much more than before, but this did not detract from our experience at all and it felt very much like a 'normal' night out. There were not too many people in the restaurant and we hope that people return to support the lovely staff of Sorrentos as soon as possible, to ensure the continued service of their excellent business in Stroud.

Fabulous place to have a Italian meal very authentic wonderful staff .would highly recommend to visit.thank you to Andrea for looking after us this evening.

just had an absolutely superb takeaway, we had our favourite meal, pepe nero fillet steak, tasted the same as if you were eating it in their great restaurant. 10 out of 10.

We had a great meal there last Friday and all was perfect , food delicious , service was top notch, place is spotless and we will be back .

Myself and my husband were staying locally in Stroud as we were going to Cheltenham festival, and came across this lovely restaurant when we left the train station. Food and service was fantastic, so much so we went back a second time! Pasta, fish, meatballs, vegetables were all fantastic and good quality wine. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thanks guys, look forward to visiting next year!

Sorrentos Stroud had a huge refurbishment late last year, now virtually twice the size. Superb decor,furnishings, and lovely background operatic music. Booked a table for 7-00 pm, restaurant became very busy quickly. The main course was very tasty and generous. Desserts were a real treat and delicious. Staff friendly, efficient, and smartly dressed. A mixture of couples, families, and a lovely atmosphere. Have been twice before refurbishment, and now even better. Well done Sorrentos.

Was very excited about a great Italian meal looking at all the reviews. But much to our horrible disappointment the food was absolutely appalling. It was a Friday afternoon..May be the chef was not around leaving it all to this one guy who was literally running around, who was extremely apologetic looking at our almost full plates that we could hardly touch.. But in the end it was a horrible experience with a significant dent to our wallets.

On the basis of a recommendation from local friends we all met to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Excellent, attentive service combined with exquisite food. Definitely worth a visit! Well done guys - we had a great evening!

Always amazing. Great staff, friendly atmosphere and the food is fantastic. Recognise their regular customers and often we don’t even need to order ourselves, as they already know!

Everything about this restaurant is perfect. Friendly and welcoming staff, lovely freshly cooked and extremely tasty food. Without a doubt the best tasting pizza I have ever had. Husband always enjoys the calamari aswell. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

A great three course lunch for our date night We both had meals from the lunch offer great value the food was very good and plenty of it The service was good a helpful waiter will definitely be back

You must try this restaurant to convince yourself! It is a family business of 2 brothers who put their hearts on the tray to offer all the best to the clients from wonderful preparations to a special attention to each one. Cheers and good appetite !

What a great night and meal we had here...would defo recommend Sorrento to anyone coming here for meal good prices good food and good friendly service. Big thankyou for making out night a good one :)

I love Sorrento, jet and his brother are always so welcoming on arrival, make the effort to talk to you and the food is beautiful. My partner & I always get the muscles as they are gorgeous. The seafood linguine is also to die for.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Service excellent Will definitely return. Always made welcome. Very clean

AmAzing food yet again, great service and friendly management, amazing experience yet again. 10 out of 10.

Disfrute de una cena muy agradable con amigos. La comida es buenísima, sobretodo el vino.

Amazing restaurant, we love eating here, the food is fabulous and the service is excellent! So many choices on the menu, something for everyone and the wine is great too!!

My partner and I have been going to Sorrento for over 4 years. Before that I was a regular anyway. I just enjoy the food and ambience so much. Never had a bad meal or service. Thank you Sorrento family for being the best restaurante in town! ❤

Have been many times to Sorrento and never mentions how great it is and same excellent food and service and great ambiance. Love the offer of limoncello at the end of the meal. I cannot recommendation this place enough...

We were under time pressure to see a show at the Sub Rooms. Ordered a pizza and a risotto. Great service and the food was excellent. The restaurant has been going for a long time and they are still making improvements and setting high standards. Stroud is lucky to have a long standing family business that serves great food at a reasonable price.

Just had an amazing dinner with my husband. The food was absolutely superb and the service was faultless as always. I would highly recommend a visit as the atmosphere and hospitality are second to none.

i really love italian however on this occasion i had the tagliatelle not much sign of any cream and mushrooms were inedible the deserct creme caramel was nice but being an ex chef myself for 21 years i think it was bought it the main course was lukewarm and to be fair was on a cold plate

Pleasantly surprised! Not a pasta or pizza person I was really surprised by the amount of other super tasty options. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive but never pushy or rushing you out. The veg that accompanies a main could be a bit better but honestly the food is excellent. I highly recommend the bruschetta - it’s amazing!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends who were treating me as I help them as a Computer Buddy at the local Library. The grilled sea bass fillet with salad was extremely good and the dessert was delicious. All for a very reasonable price for two courses for £10.95.

Excellent food and brilliant service Good value The mushroom risotto was so tasty as were all the dishes we had Thank you

Enjoyed a fabulous impromptu meal with friends. The staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I had the tagliatelle Monte e Mare which was cooked to perfection, with plenty of mushrooms and prawns in a white wine sauce. All our meals were tasty and freshly cooked. A real gem of an independent restaurant.

Visited with friends. Too many dishes on menu, resulting in disappointing quality. Small portions, food bland and less than average quality. Advised manager but not dealt with satisfactorily. We would have ordered a dessert had he addressed our concerns better. What a disappointment!

We were driving from Northampton to Devon. The M5 was shut. We checked our Gourmet Society app, found this lovely restaurant, parked right outside. Very warm welcome, fabulously fresh food, great value Would highly recommend and will return!

¿Quieres una auténtica experiencia culinaria italiana sin tener que tomar un avión? Luego dirígete a Sorrento en Stroud, donde los platos de pasta son para morirse y a menudo puedo olvidar que en realidad no estoy en Italia. Este lugar es ideal para una comida íntima y romántica, pero igual de bueno para llevar un grupo de amigos. Advertencia: prepárate para no tener espacio para el postre, ya que querrás comer cada cosa en tu lugar: todo sabe muy bien. No soy vegetariano, pero su penne arabiata es tan deliciosa que ciertamente podría serlo, y si solo tuviera este plato para comer por el resto de mi vida, no me quejaría. Cada vez que pensamos en salir a cenar, este lugar es el primero de nuestra lista.

Had an excellent lunch ,both chose pasta dishes which were delicious and well presented. A lovely authentic Italian with great service in a beautifully decorated restaurant. A definite must try. Will definitely return soon.

Love this place best in Stroud and miles food fantastic top rating from me and husband, staff are great price is great

We visited on a Saturday evening and got a table despite not booking. The restaurant soon filled with people and groups of all ages and size. Our waiter was fast and efficient. The food was delicious, we opted for olives to start which were enormous then pizzas and weren't disappointed. They also serve non alcoholic lager. The bathrooms were clean and very stylish. It was very enjoyable and we will go back again

We went there on a Friday evening. Good atmosphere - people about - but not crowded. Staff were friendly and open for a chat.

Our fourth visit to Sorrento - loved it the first time and the second, third and tonight. Really friendly and warm service throughout and the food is absolutely amazing every time! Can’t rate this restaurant highly enough- and I’m a fussy foodie so it must be good ! Had Pizza for the first time tonight as always love the prawn pasta dish ( so had that as a starter) - Huge and such wonderful flavours! Calamari is to die for! So impressed that we have had great food every visit. Nice that the owners took time out to chat with us! Can’t wait to go again!

Great service considering how busy the restaurant is. Food is good but not great wine list is overpriced. Pizza to lamb shank... food might be better with a more restricted menu or less busy. Average Pulia at £24 a bottle is expensive. Anyway great evening but has to be good food and poor drink made up a bit by good service.

Trevligt ställe med god mat och gott vin. Vi provade pasta, pizza och kalv - allt var gott.

I’ve been going here for years for every occasion and they never fail on service or quality. Always a warm welcome and very accommodating. If you want a place for a relaxed family meal in town this is it 5*

We booked a table for 9 adults and 1 baby at the last minute on a Wednesday night. The staff couldn't have been more helpful even bringing out the baby's meal earlier than everyone else's so she didnt have to wait.

Fantastic meal and great atmosphere. Service was superb. Highly recommend. Best steak I ever had. We will definitely bring going again.

Newly refurbished interior for Stroud’s most popular restaurant. Always guaranteed classic Italian dishes, served with quality wines followed by hand made deserts. Worth a visit......

Attended as a family party of 11, warm welcome and shown our table. Order taken and food arrived quickly. Fresh and hot. The whole family really happy with their choices. Would return if in the area again. Lovely meal.

Visited with family and children. The restaurant was very accommodating and family friendly. We all had different dishes and all the food was superb. We will definitely be back soon. Lovely atmosphere and polite staff.

Visited the restaurant in a group of 16, we had issues with people dropping out at the last minute but the staff at Sorrento’s were very helpful and understanding.

Came across this place unexpectedly. Honestly really good food plenty of variety and amazing service. Would highly recommend this family restaurant

Delicious food, courteous & efficient service. A piece of Italy in the heart of England. We were a group of 10 and ordered 25 dishes, ALL of which were delicious. Highly recommended

Delicious Italian dishes with amazing ambiance. Very friendly staff and comfortable seating. All seafood are yummy and fresh, proper Italian pastas and risottos. We are a big family of 10 people (plus a small dog) and they accommodated us all. Everyone loved their dish and the desserts are out of this world. Highly recommended! Will definitely come back for more.

Increíble variedad de comida, buena música de fondo y personal apasionado. Visitamos dos noches consecutivas ya que nos quedamos muy impresionados. Tuvimos la pizza, boloñesa y lasaña, todo fantástico a precios muy razonables. El tiramisú es muy recomendable. Este restaurante es un verdadero punto de referencia de la comida italiana de alta calidad. Volveremos el año que viene para el próximo espectáculo aéreo.

I had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs with extra grilled mushrooms. Found the choices of wine by the cup limited and not a very good pairing. A Chianti choice would have been nice. Food was good. I recommend the char-grilled sardine appetizer; the tartar sauce is homemade and delicious.

Great place with decent food portions! The Calamari was well-cooked, the Quatro Stagioni (chef’s special listed in the menu) tasted strongly of corns (but I actually like them) and the lobster in the Lobster Linguine (written on the specials chalkboard) was a little old&tough.; However the friendly staff and the atmosphere wrapped up the evening into a lovely experience overall, thank you.

Called in for lunch on what we thought would be a busy Saturday but found the place very quiet with tables to spare. A shame, people don't know what they are missing! The three of us had an excellent two course lunch for £10.95 each (3 courses for £13.95). Nothing felt cut price: options included sea bass, breaded chicken fillet & pizza margarita with 3 additional toppings. Desserts were pannacotta, tiramisu and chocolate souffle. Service was slick and efficient, and the food excellent. Tasted like real Italian food unlike that from the chain restaurants. I spoke to the waiter at the end - they had 160 booked in for dinner that night. That is more like the Sorrento we know and love!

Guests in the area we thought this was outstanding. Great atmosphere, service,food & prices. If we were locals we'd be regulars

A delightful and delicious evening in Sorrento. The food was delicious and the service unassuming but perfect. Pasta Risotto. Pinot Grigio and sisters a perfect combination

Great pizza! Sorrento provided our family a welcome break from British pub food. Nice deserts as well!

I went here for the second time a few days ago. I enjoyed it both times, good service, good food & good ambience, but nothing to rave about. Not exceptional, just what you’d expect from a decent Italian restaurant - will be back.

Have been here many times over the years and cannot stress enough how good they are. Absolutely love this place and they are so friendly

Sorrento is a fail safe restaurant that delivers time and time again. Couples, friends, family......any occasion, the food is always on point.

Sorrento never fail to impress been coming here quite regularly now and always As good as the first visit Loads to choose from the menu and the chefs special too Great atmosphere and friendly service

Back at Sorrentos for my mates birthday and all good as usual. We all enjoyed the food, good service and atmosphere. Definitely coming back, thanks guys

We travelled relatively far to eat here - fooled by the certificate of excellence. We booked online and they called us saying we had to cancel the booking as google charges them for it. Very unprofessional. They took ages greeting us. They were understaffed and therefore running around which gave an awful atmosphere. One waiter dropped someone else’s used cutlery on me and has actually stained my clothes. They did nothing at all to put this right other than a fleeting sorry. When the food actually came mine was awful. Both of my friends food was ok. I had barely any cheese at all and it honestly was like cardboard. No one asked if the food was ok during or even after the meal.

Busy place on a Sunday evening. Sorrento is very close to Stroud station and seems to have a lot of regular customers. The service was good but just two waiters for 50 covers. The food was OK but rather bland and not particularly well cooked.

Highly recommended place. I had read TripAdvisor review about Sorrento and was exactly what we got.

Visiting Sorrento in Stroud is always a great experience, the food is superb, the atmosphere cheerful and the staff attentive and friendly ❤️

Stopped off in Stroud for lunch, luckily we found the Sorrento, had a very relaxed meal. Great food and a couple of good coffees, great friendly service.
