Sorrentino's Downtown Reviews
Me and my family were in Edmonton, picked Sorrentino’s because it had good reviews and it was a short walk from our hotel. We were blown away. The food is amazing. Our server, Derek, did such a great job. We asked him for menu recommendations and nothing disappointed. Prices were reasonable especially for that calibre of food and service. We will be back!
We had an absolutely fantastic time here. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was just perfect from start to finish.
The presentation of every plate was beautiful. I especially loved the dish served with a distinct red ring of sauce around the rim of the plate, which added such a nice touch to the meal. Everything tasted as good as it looked. We will definitely be back soon.
We checked this place out with friends in April 2026. It was one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. It was during a garlic festival so they had a special menu containing lots of garlic. We had our 6yo and 12 yo but they were very accommodating for the kids.
