THIS is old school Italian: smiling and professional waitress, grandma telling the story of making meatballs and sauce at 6am, everyone genuinely making you feel at home. Food is traditional with some family spins like slightly sweeter red sauce, superb dressings and a unique crowd pleasing pizza (my son said the best he’s had!). The decor is a priceless time capsule straight out of an East Coast Little Italy, sadly now mostly forgotten but living on here, way out west. Dining room could use some less harsh lightbulbs (small detail) but you’ll hardly notice the lighting after a bite of garlic bread. When you visit expect the Italian experience of family; soulful and generous, with a special touch which is so hard to explain. I guess I’d call it passion but it’s so much more. All is right with the world when you are at Sorrento’s
Che buono!!

It's been a very long time since I felt so welcome almost like home treatment by the three wonderful lady owners who run this beautiful restaurant since I can remember. Their joyuous and sincere devotion to customer service is unlike no other not to mention the flavorful fresh ingredients and aromas emanating from my six to go De luxe pizzas, pure temptation while driving back to work for Lunch. Which restaurant owner helps you carry pizza and load up to your car and gives you a wine gift for complimenting them for my favorite pizza place in San Marcos while winking with a big smile? That is the True example of what a lovely Italian eatery should be like, winning the hearts of people one customer at a time.!!

Food was pretty bad. Sauce was VERY sweet. Tasted like someone just poured sugar into regular pasta sauce. Waitress got into an argument with cashier over my bill and they yelled at eachother for a few minutes while my party and I sat awkwardly in the restaurant. The place is always busy when I am in the plaza and it was busy when I came in so people like the food it just wasn't for me.

Very nice old-school restaurant with good soul-warming food... We got the family dinner for two which comes with two salads (dressing of your choice), 6 garlic breads, two spaghetti with their special sauce, and one cheese pizza. Of course, we could not finish everything since the portions were huge! I really like the cheese pizza and garlic bread. I am not sure about their sauce. I think it is famous and a lot of people like it but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Also, be prepared to feel sluggish because there are definitely too many carbs... But definitely worth your money with the portion size...

Fantastic food and wonderful staff! The whole experience reminded me of the movie “Nonnas” and the dining room is like eating in an Italian friend’s house. Loved it!

Not ever coming back to this place again
The pizza was doughy way too much cheese and no taste
We also had raviolis that were ok but the sauce was lousy

How could you not love these two gals? I’d come just for them. Food’s Great!! Go visit before another landmark becomes an Asian Fusion restaurant.

This quaint tucked away Italian restaurant is so amazing. The staff was so warm and inviting. The food was delicious. The atmosphere reminded me of my visit to Italy many years ago. This hidden gem is a must visit.

If you’re craving a truly satisfying pepperoni pizza, look no further than Sorrento’s. From the first bite, it was clear this wasn’t your average pizzeria. What stood out most was the authentic sauce—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Paired with high-quality cheese and a perfectly baked crust, it made for a classic yet elevated pizza experience.

The service was outstanding. Rita, the owner, personally came out to greet us, which added such a warm, personal touch. Our server, Esperanza, was incredibly helpful and gave us spot-on recommendations that made the meal even better.

This place isn’t just about great food—it’s about great people and a welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be going back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Sorrento’s to anyone looking for a top-tier pizza spot.
