Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and recurring. Food arriving cold comes up repeatedly: a steak that was only warmed up and returned, and a chicken pasta that was barely warm with a bland sauce and little chicken. Others describe a lamb orecchiette that tasted watery with no lamb flavor, an overly salty lasagne, and a seafood linguine where most of the mussels and several clams were closed. A few report slow service, with drinks needing to be chased, and one felt pizza prices were higher than the online menu. One diner was charged full price after dishes were left uneaten, and the meatball starter earned a kind word.

“Too busy, sadly they were clearly short staffed as service was slow and drinks orders etc needed chasing. Bit disappointed as had heard good things.”

“Very disappointed with our Father's Day visit. The building itself is lovely and has plenty of potential, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The service was poor throughout. Staff were not particularly attentive, and the majority appeared to be very young and lacked the experience and customer service skills. What annoyed me most was the pricing. After our meal, I looked online at the restaurant's menu and noticed that the prices being charged on Father's Day were significantly higher than the prices advertised on the website. For example, a pizza we ordered was £16 in the restaurant but only £12.50 on the online menu. There was no separate Father's Day menu, no notice of special pricing, and no mention of any increase when booking. I appreciate prices can change, but customers should be made aware if they are going to be charged considerably more than the prices advertised online. The food itself was average at best, and the whole place lacked any atmosphere despite it being Father's Day. It certainly didn't feel like a special occasion. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not somewhere I will be returning to.”

“Ordered a steak 🥩 received it cold. Complained. Waiter took it back. I was expecting a fresh cooked one. He brought the same one back and admitted it was only warmed up. I have been once before and found it quite nice. After this experience I'd never go back”

“I came here on my own this evening I thought I'd treat myself and it's the first time coming here the food and service was excellent very nice friendly staff I highly recommend this place I will be back to try the calzone or a pizza in the very near future”

“We have been to Sorella 3 times in the last 12 months following our daughters wedding dress fittings in the village. The wedding is in less than 3 weeks time and we are going to have to come up with a new reason to come to Uppermill so we can eat here. Every dish of every course has been amazing meaning a lot of sharing so everyone got to sample everything. The menu is varied and plenty on it, good wine list too and everything very reasonably priced. The service has been faultless and the restaurant is beautifully appointed with great ambience. There have been family parties going on when we have visited and it looks a fantastic place for a celebration. We would highly recommend and have to come back.”
