Sorella is a warm, neighborhood Italian restaurant that feels equally suited to date night and dinners with friends. The room is cozy and stylish without being fussy, with a lively bar, soft lighting, and closely set tables that give it a buzzy, intimate energy. The menu focuses on comforting, seasonal Italian fare—think shareable antipasti, fresh pastas, well-executed classics like chicken or veal cutlets, and simply prepared seafood and meat entrées—along with a thoughtful selection of wines by the glass and bottle, classic cocktails, and spritzes. Friendly, attentive service and a relaxed but polished atmosphere make Sorella a go-to choice in Hartford for everything from a glass of wine and a few plates at the bar to a lingering celebratory meal.
