Just celebrated my daughter’s birthday in this downtown gem and was very pleased with the dining experience we had. The food was superb and so flavourful. We also had the pleasure of getting a top-notched service from Derek. Derek was so pleasant and helpful the entire time. Very well recommended.

It is simply is one of the best restaurant in Edmonton, the service is the best, the food is delicious and if you visit them at the Mushrooms harvest fest you can enjoy the best antipasto “More mushrooms per favore!” Is so tasteful. The best cocktail I've ever tasted in my life was found here "Magic mushroom gimlet" made by Joel. Thank you for all the service provided by Michael and Dereck, to be honest, it was a great coincidence as we were not received in another restaurant and ended up here. Also, thank you for the complementary dessert for my husband’s birthday :) We’ll definitely return every year for the mushroom fest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Sorrentino’s Downtown this weekend, and I can't say enough about how incredible the experience was! From start to finish, everything was simply perfect. Trista, the event coordinator, was nothing short of amazing. She handled my constant questions with such grace and professionalism, which truly made a difference in our planning process. Our group, being younger and somewhat louder, can sometimes be a handful, but the staff at Sorrentino’s treated us with such kindness and warmth that it felt like we were among friends. The food was out of this world—every dish was exquisite, and our guests are still raving about the meal. The atmosphere at Sorrentino’s Downtown was intimate and magical, making our special day even more memorable. We are so grateful to the Sorrentino’s family for creating such a wonderful setting and providing us with a five-star experience. We’ve already decided that we’ll be visiting every year on our anniversary to enjoy their outstanding dishes once again. Thank you, Trista, Michael, and everyone who made our night so unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate our wedding!

Service was great. Waiter was so friendly. I had a seafood stew, and it was a generous portion and very tasty. Others had gnocchi, ravioli and chicken dish. All enjoyed it a lot! Would go back when I return to Edmonton.

Visited Sorrentinos Downtown as we did not want to cook on such a cold day, and had a wonderful dinner. We were well taken care of by Joel, and loved our Gamberi Sorrentino, and enjoyed our pastas (my veal cannelloni was rich and cheesy). A nice bottle of wine rounded out our meal. There was a larger group enjoying the private dining room, and next time we think we will enjoy dinner in the lounge. Thank you Michael and team.

I recently attended Sorrentino's Downtown for their Garlic Fest, and it was a delightful culinary experience! The atmosphere was lively, the service impeccable, and the garlic-infused dishes were simply sensational. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's expertise in creating delicious and innovative dishes centered around garlic. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was a celebration of this versatile ingredient. I highly recommend going there this month for anyone looking to indulge in a garlic lover's paradise!

Amazing food!! We ordered family style with Chefs choice and the highlight was the chicken dish. It was perfectly crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth moist on the inside!!! This dish alone is absolutely worth a visit!!! Shout out to our host, Mike, who made us feel like family the whole time!!

Let me start by saying: if you haven t been to Sorrentinos yet, you re living a life tragically devoid of food happiness. First of all, the atmosphere Italian countryside vibes but with a dash of you better wear your stretchy pants energy. Now, onto the real stars of the show: Mousa and Joel. These two are the dynamic duo of hospitality. Mousa is like the pasta whisperer he talks about the fettuccine as if it has a PhD in flavour. Hell casually suggest you try the lasagna, and before you know it, youre halfway through the plate, planning your next visit (and possibly your will, because the portions are dangerously generous). And then there s Joel. Oh, Joel. He s the kind of guy who brings you your pasta and somehow manages to convince you that you also need a second plate to balance out the flavor profile. The man could sell a bottle of water to a fish, and youd thank him for it. His enthusiasm for Italian food is unmatched. I m 99% sure he has a tattoo that says I Cannoli somewhere, and if he doesn t, he should. The food? Perfect. The service? Impeccable. The chance to be gently convinced by Mousa and Joel that yes, you absolutely need dessert even though youre full? Priceless. Sorrentinos: come for the pasta, stay for the charming masterminds behind the menu. You won t regret it (but your waistband might).

Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. They were severely understaffed. We came for my boyfriend s birthday and nothing special was done, it wasn t even acknowledged. We got there at 7:30 and didn t get our dinner until after 9:00. The lobster rigatoni was underwhelming, extremely bland and boring. However, my boyfriend got the tenderloin and enjoyed it, it was cooked well. I don t believe our server is at fault, he tried his best, gave a fabulous wine suggestion but was just overloaded. I feel as though I just spent $200 for nothing at this establishment and that s not a great feeling to leave with. Also, no acknowledgment by managers about the food wait or the poor service times, and no offer of covering a drink or getting my boyfriend a birthday dessert to make up for it. Do better!

Ordered through SKIP tonight..absolute trash to say the least. McDonald s serves a better Caesar salad daily, lasagna was Costco grade and carbonara was overcooked and way too salty.

Although, I appreciated our private area to the side it was extremely hot from the heat of the day. The resturant was not that busy and we rarely saw the server to pour our wine or take drink orders. Bottle of white wine was far away from us and they kept it on a ledge rather than chilled. My partners food was terrible, he returned the uneatened dish ( he literally had to get up and return his entree because we rarely saw our server) and they still charged us for it. We had a party of 12 and it was my birthday. My food was luke warm and my friend also found part of her dish was undercooked and cold.

Over 50 of us were invited to celebrate a friends special birthday last night! What a unique atmosphere! Even though the game was on, and a crowd watching in the other room, it in no way disturbed us. The food was absolutely fantastic - delicious, from the bruschetta & plate of appetizers, to the fresh green salads, then creamy & tomato pastas, followed by main meats - chicken, sausage and veal, ending with yummy dessert & coffee, and later birthday cake - all served family style - a fabulous, relaxing, delicious dining experience!! The service provided by the amazing team of waiters was exceptional - attentive to every detail & need, prompt, efficient, and kind! My first time here, and I enjoyed every moment of the dining experience with all the friends and family along with all the grandkids of the birthday celebrant! Paid parking at the library, and a short walk across the street was easy for me, as I use a cane!!

He had a full station of the customers but never rushed us, and he asked us in a very professionnel manner if we want fast or slow service for express lunch service. We go alot outside for lunch but I must say Mr. Ilhan service was geniune and beyond exceding standards. Great sense of humor and seems always smiling while he was serving. Well done and we will come back I promise.

Good place in downtown Edmonton for quality Italian. While the bruschetta appetizer was slightly disappointing, the gnocchi and the chowder certainly made up for it. Slightly disturbing are the many TVs that take away from a dinner atmosphere. Overall would come back.

Lovely place for a larger gathering. The food and the service were very good. Our choices for the dinner were fairly confusing as we were supposed to choose 4 items. Some people had chosen the 4 items but most had only chosen 3. They charged us the same price per person even though this had happened. For that, I give them a thumbs down , they didnt even state this was the case when we arrived. It was only discovered upon paying the bill.

This is not a review I thought I would be writing. I am disappointed in the lack of consistency and outrageous pricing. For whatever reason whenever I order online my dishes I receive are always different, the portion, taste, how it was prepared/presentation. I used to work at earls and the consistency was very important and was trained into us. I am not sure why this isnt a company culture or important factor at Sorrentinos. I have ordered the mushroom risotto over a dozen times on many different occasions and the only thing consistent was the inconsistency. When I order a dish I want it made the way it was supposed to be made every time, that is why I order from expensive restaurants unfortunately Sorrentinos can not deliver this. I used to recommend Sorrentinos but I can not longer support this restaurant. I know other people with the same issues and I am tired of spending $100 plus on a gamble of if my food will be good or not.

Went for dinner on Jan 31 2023 at 8:30pm. Sorrentino s in downtown Edmonton is a good enough restaurant for where it s located (see photo), and if you ve never been to restaurants serving authentic Italian food. This is definitely not fine dining as they stated on OpenTable. The appetizers in the photo were forgettable. I can t even conjure up the taste as I m writing this review. The beet salad was light and refreshing for the -10C weather outside. Perhaps better served as a summer salad in the future. Their mains were a disappointment. The beef ribs tasted like frozen boxed ribs with a red (not au jus) sauce. The pasta on the side tasted of the same seasoning as Bar 94 s mash potatoes. Do these restaurants get their packaged goods all from the same place? The veal dish were slices of veal smothered in a yellow creamy sauce, over a mashed potato with vegetables on the side. Not exactly what I was expecting at all, since I can buy food like this at Costcos if I wanted to. The cocktails were tasty, but after drinking two in row and not feeling a buzz, obviously contained very little liquor. Dessert was good. However, their pistachio cheese cake did not outshine their light and delicious tiramisu. Service was friendly but inadequate. We had to encourage our male server to clean our table cloth, and offer us flat water in a bottle. Two stars out of 5 stars for the summer salad and tiramisu. Not worth the price tag.

Just ate at Sorrentino s last night, I have to say I was not impressed. The pistachio cheesecake yum (but any restaurant can serve that ) cocktails check but then our main course comes and my partner and I were so disappointed! First the presentation was abysmal; then it gets worse the flavour of the meal tasted like we were eating a dinner that was heated up from a cardboard box meal! No chef gave our meals any genuine authenticity or flavour. Shame on Sorrentino s for charging ridiculous fees for food that should be charged the fee of a frozen dinner.

Came with a large crowd and we made reservations ahead of time. Still the restaurant was unprepared for a busy hour. Our server was grumpy and catty. The decor was tired and dated. We do not think that the service we got was worth the 18% tip that was forced on us. Caesar salad was less than great. Nearly a full hour went by before our order was even taken . The entire experience which began at noon didnt finish until 2:30 p.m. . Service is uncaring about the timing needs of the business lunch hour crowd . Some friends at our table enjoyed their meal others did not. Restaurant rides on its reputation from 20 or 30 years ago. Times have changed . We will not return.

If I could give a 0 I would ! The worst experience I ever had at a restaurant. It was my birthday and we had reserved for 4 and showed up on time for our reservation. The greeter at the door was very kind, took our coats, and welcomed us. Then a woman who was, I guess responsible for seating guests, came rushing up to the front while the greeter looked up our reservation. The greeter had already found us in the system and was just about to seat us when she took over the reservation list and without even looking in our direction, asked for our names again, I spelt it out for her and told her the the exact time and date that I had reserved. She couldn t find it and asked again while muttering under her breath (not to us) that she had already seated another party that was a walk-in in a spot (which I m thinking was our spot maybe). After ~2 minutes of standing there at the door, I asked her if there were any concerns where she didn t even answer me and continued to mutter under her breath and look at the computer screen. This entire time this woman did not even look at me or my guests once. Another party entered and was standing behind us, the greeter (the kind one) asked them for their names while the other woman stood at the computer. Before they could even say who they were, the woman at the computer said Hi there, good to see you, I know him, he already reserved , waving and smiling at him, while we stood in the middle of this interaction. My guest and I were shocked but did not say a word. Finally, after the guests behind us went to be seated by a third party, she asked us to follow her, with no emotion or even a smile in our direction. The vibe of the night was completely thrown off for us but I said I still wanted to stay because I had heard good things about the place while my guests insisted that we leave. We ended up ending our night, ordered pasta dishes that were okay, I don t know, I just expected better to be honest. Our waiter was wonderful and kind and had many suggestions for us. We tried the pistachio cheesecake which tasted nothing like pistachio, it tasted artificial, and it was dry. We went to use the washroom before we left as they were closing at this time. It was us and another group of guests left while the chairs and table were being cleaned. While we were using the mirror in the women s washroom, which is close to the door, the same woman who was giving us the cold shoulder at the front desk walked in pushing the door wide open. The door had hit my friend and she looked in our direction and shuffled right past us looking very displeased. My friend asked her word for word is there a problem here? , she looked over at my friend and said what? , my friend repeated the question, is there a problem here, you don t just hit someone with a door and walk right past them, that s rude? , and she responded no, no, there s no problem, no problem still with the same displeased look. She did not apologize or anything. I didn t say anything that night. My whole night was ruined. That woman should not be serving guests or seating them. She was rude, disrespectful, and should be reprimanded for what she did. I will say, we were the only party that was not demographically similar to the rest of the guests and it left a sour taste in our mouth, some of my guests felt that it was racist and prejudiced the way she interacted with us. She should treat all of her guests with the same respect and kindness. We are paying customers and have a right to be respected just as any other paying guest. To the greeter at the door and the waiter, thank you for your kindness, it was appreciated. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

The food starting with the dinner bread was exceptional. The bread was warm and fresh out of the oven. It was delicious. I ordered their steak and I made the correct choice. It was delicious and the veggies and Caesar salad was awesome too. That was probably the best caesar salad I ever had. I would definitely recommend this place. Totally worth any special occasion.

Walked in without a reservation after being ignored at the restaurant we did make a reservation at. They had no tables but Michael offered us dinner at the bar which was so kind to help salvage our date night. Our server was working her first serving night and was amazing! She was attentive, prompt and very polite. The bartender was also absolutely fantastic. Thank you all for a lovely evening!

We had dinner here as a group. Great place if you need a private room for a group. I had the lasagna and I was very full at the half way mark of eating it. I really enjoyed it. Everyone else had different dishes and it all honestly looked so good. Wish I had room to try the beef carpaccio. Another time perhaps. The service was top notch. They really looked after us well. I remember coming here in the 1990s. Its nice to see a restaurant that has maintained its business this long. I would definitely come back. The atmosphere was superb. I should say that the bill person at about $50 includes a large glass of wine and 20% tip. Your bill will be less if you stick with dinner only.

Amzing old style service from the taking of my coat to the napkin placement. Servers harkened back to an era of pride in their job. The mushroom ravioli and ricotta gnocchi were amazing. The bruschetta was disappointing with little flavour, no garlic or onion, adding garlic oil from the table helped. Sorry that we were rushing for a show, I will return and take my time to enjoy everything at this marvelous restaurant. Vegetarian options: They happily made a pasta veggie

Stopped in at Sorrentinos downtown with a friend on Saturday night to try the garlic festival menu. Its my first time at the garlic festival used to be one of my mothers favourite celebrations. I can see why she enjoyed it Ive never seen such a garlic infused menu or enjoyed the celebration of a single ingredient is quite so much as this. The dishes all incorporate garlic in creative and flavorful ways, without overpowering the other ingredients. The Garlic Chowder and Garlic Beet Salad were both standout dishes, with the garlic adding a unique twist to classic recipes. The Garlic Ricotta Gnocchi and Garlic Salmon Roll were delicious and well-executed, with the garlic flavor complementing the other ingredients perfectly. Not only were the dishes flavorful, but they were also beautifully presented, making for a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. The Garlic Old Fashioned and Garlic Gin Cocktail were unique and inventive drinks that incorporated garlic in unexpected ways. Sorrentinos Garlic Festival is a great celebration of this ingredient, and the restaurant did an excellent job showcasing its many uses. The atmosphere was lively and festive, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a celebration of all things garlic.

My party was not impressed with the service at all! Perhaps it was our fault for agreeing to sit at the bar when the hostess offered, but we assumed that we would still be taken care of or wed have gone elsewhere. We had empty water glasses for pretty much the whole meal and had to ask multiple times (and multiple people) for a container at the end. The food took much longer than Id generally expect (even on a busy night) and, though it was good, it was also not what I ordered. Maybe it was an off night, maybe they had a bunch of people call in sick and were understaffed, but we wont be back to this location.

For a delicious meal, you cant go wrong here! Plus, the service is impeccable. From the maitre d to the service staff, you are treated exceptionally well. This is a downtown gem. If you havent tried black garlic, I highly recommend it. Sorrentinos Downtown is worth every penny you choose to spend there. We thoroughly enjoyed the beef short rib with mushroom ravioli and the ricotta gnocchi with black garlic and sundried tomato cream sauce. Wow! Sadly, we didnt have any room for dessert even with taking home half of my gnocchi meal. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I ordered lasagna. It was quite good. But when the meal arrived, there was no side salada, there was no garlic bread or any type of bread. It was very very, very, very expensive considering it was just a chunk of lasagna. Shame on Sorrentinos taking advantage of customers, charging that kind of money for a chunk of pasta, not steak, not meat, just pasta. Considering these times of extreme inflation, they are overcharging quite horrendously. Pasta sure did not arise that much. My delivery choice eensures they dont have to pay wait staff, cleaning staff, dishwasher etc etc. Think better, DO better Sorrentinos.

We had a large party of 70 plus people last night to celebrate a retirement and everything was perfect. From the beginning, organizing and booking was so professional. When we arrived the manager and servers introduced themselves and discussed our plans for the evening. With that many orders going to the kitchen at once, the food arrived quickly and was 10/10 quality. Thank you for making this night memorable for not only the guest of honor, but everyone that joined us.

The food I got was good! I ordered lobster rigatoni. However, for dessert The carrot cake was mediocre, it was cold and dry. I am giving 3 stars too because the service was weak. The host seemed very rude as he was only acknowledging the other individual who I was with. The reservation was under my friends name and he kept coming up asking how the service went and only addressing her. I thought I was the only one who thought it was weird but she mentioned it to me as well. On the way out, he continued to only talk to her. I m unsure if I will return.

The food was okay.. it wasnt the best but it was alright. The server was nice with an aggressive tone. However, she did well with her delivery. It was the manager. There was an incident where we spoke with HIM to bring our friends cake out, and when another server brought it out unprepared (without the sparking candles) He shifted blame to the new server RIGHT AS SHE WAS STANDING THERE IN THE SAME ROOM AS US. As a manager, that was an extremely poor way to treat your employee, just bringing her down to make yourself look good when the deal we made was with the manager, not the employee. He said oh sorry about that, she is new, shes only been here for a week. We felt so bad for the server and agreed that wasnt any way to treat your employee. She was so confused. Anyway, as I said prior, the food wasnt the best it was okay. I walked in and nobody greeted me upon my arrival. I had to walk around the restaurant until I found my table. No you guys are better somewhere where they value customers and their own employees.

We have eaten at Sorrentino s often in the past and have had a wonderful time but Wednesday night was a different experience. Our granddaughter was celebrating her 13th birthday and she wanted a special dish that Sorrentino s prepares. We took her and a friend to supper before attending a show at the Citadel. The service was slow even though the restaurant wasn t busy and the meal portions for the girls were huge. They hardly touched their main course. Our bill was over $200.00 with tip but we felt we did not receive value for our money. I think it is important for youth to experience the more refined dining so offering half portions to younger clients would be a great option.

Came for dinner for my boyfriends 25th. We got a private room with 20 of our friends, it was really beautiful. But we only had one waiter, the restaurant was dead & we waited over an hour to just get bread/take our orders. They need more staff helping, if you know a big party is coming in there should be extra hands on deck to insure everything moves smoothly. Also, the menu isn t clear about certain sizes and when asking the waiter they didn t explain well enough, so when we got the pick any 3 for 30 bucks we were thinking smaller plates with a few on them, no it s just literally 3 individual try size foods very disappointing

Another great place with great food. This is an elegant place with a high-end menu. I had the Salmon and shrimp on a creamy bed of mashed potatoes in a decadent white sauce, with sauté asparagus, sweet peppers and zucchini. Just talking about this meal makes my mouth water. The restaurant is on the pricey side but is worth every dollar . If you are a foodie this is another place to add to your list.
