Quick info
About Sorella Sorella
On Street Gate Park in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Sorella Sorella is an Italian restaurant decorated throughout with lemon décor. Cheesy garlic bread opens the menu as a starter, and portions here run large. Sunday lunch and dinner draw regulars back, with beef among the choices, alongside a cocktail list for the table. Gluten free options are accommodated for those who need them. Seating spreads across many tables, giving diners room to talk without sitting on top of one another. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than bookings, so parties arrive and are seated as space allows. The car park does fill up when the restaurant is busy, so arriving early helps secure a space.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch draws the most repeat praise at Sorella Sorella, with one reviewer calling the beef cooked to perfection and another returning repeatedly to work through the menu. Close behind are the starters, described as big and generous, and the cheesy garlic bread, which one diner rates the best of all time. Reviewers also single out the cocktails, food that tastes home cooked and fresh, and a gluten free guest who was well looked after. Staff are called friendly, quick and attentive even when the restaurant is full, and the lemon decor gets a mention, as does a room where conversation stays easy despite the crowd. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who found the pizza soggy, the pasta so salty it caused a night of heavy drinking water, and the calamari poor, though the soup was delicious. Another notes the car park fills up at busy times, with people circling for spaces.

“Positives: Soup was delicious, and the staff are really polite and welcoming. Negatives: Pizza was all soggy, as if it had been frozen, and the pasta was so salty we had to drink 2L of water when we got home because of it, The Calamari was also poor. I'm unsure if the chef was having a bad day, however the food we had was nothing like the other reviews. I've had better pizzas at Wetherspoons. If you're interested to know the cost... We had 2 starters, 2 mains, and 2 drinks between us, which came to £65. Wasn't worth the money at all.”

“Food and staff absolutely class only thing I would say is they could do with a bigger car park as there was lots of people driving around looking for spaces but the car park was chocka due to how busy the restaurant was. Although it was very busy it didn't feel like we were all squashed in you could still have a conversation and not feel like the people around you can hear you”
