I chose Sorrento for Valentine’s Day expecting a special night out, and unfortunately it was anything but.

We both ordered the halibut special, priced at $48 per entrée. For that price, we expected something memorable. Instead, the dish was completely bland — no seasoning, no depth of flavor, nothing that justified the cost. Neither of us finished our meals, which says a lot considering how expensive they were.

A cook came out and asked how everything was. We politely told him the halibut was bland. His response was, “Well, taste is personal,” before abruptly walking away. It felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially on a night when the restaurant knows guests are there for a special occasion.

Service overall was slow and inattentive. We eventually had to flag down another server just to close out our check because our assigned server was busy making pizzas instead of checking on tables.

Between the overpriced, flavorless food and the lackluster service, this was not the Valentine’s experience we hoped for. Sadly, it’s not a place we would return to.

Popped in randomly after an event nearby for a quick pizza and we were SO impressed! It feels heavy finding an authentic pizza here and ours came out perfect, flavorful and left me wanting to try more. The owner greeted us and was so nice too!

I’m Italian and I’ve traveled extensively, but stopping at Ristorante Sorrento in Scottsdale was truly something special. From appetizer to dessert, this place is pure Italian poetry on a plate. Every dish reflects authenticity, passion, and deep respect for our culinary traditions.

I can honestly say this is the kind of food that takes you straight back to Italy — in fact, it’s so good that I ate better here than at my nonna’s house in Puglia (and that’s saying a lot!).

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience real Italian cuisine made with heart and soul 🇮🇹🍕🍝

Service was great! Nice atmosphere. The food was top notch! The wife and I will be back very soon! The calamari was in house made and very fresh. We ordered the specials, turkey lasagna 😋 and osso buco. They also had a nice wine selection. Also the flour less cake was right up there as well. Thanks for great food and a great time!

Under new ownership since October- they just didn’t change the name- ignore the bad reviews from when they were under prior ownership.

This place is a GEM. If you want true authentic Italian this is your place. It’s family owned - the kind of place you want to support. The food is incredible - everyone in the restaurant was enjoying their meal as we looked around. The owners are so attentive and want to interact with guests. The atmosphere is pleasant, calm, and comfortable.
We had the short rib pasta (special not on the menu) - it was incredible. Not too rich but full of flavor.
The mortadella pizza per Franchescos recommendation which was out of this world and the classic tiramisu which brought us right back to eating in Italy.

We can’t wait to return!

The place has new owners and my daughter and I decided to go check it out. Everything was perfect. From the hostess, to the servers, how clean the place was, menu, food, pizza crust and even the flavor of the tap water!
Go check it out. We drove about 25 minutes and it was well worth it !

Here it is. They have a few different pasta choices that are gluten-free and they also have gluten-free pizza. If need be some of us are gluten-free and others are not so it’s great to have these options. Most things are made from scratch.
This place is decorated so cute. I love the bright lemon Italian colors.. Igor really took good care of us, we slid in and in and sat at the bar, we ordered a pizza. It was very good, tasty. We loved the flavor and the spice but we like our pizza crust to be crispy around bottom so we can actually pick it up, but that was so minor.. I just put it on my plate and cut it up.. I gotta say, I was pretty impressed at the pizza and the place is so bright, decorated well, the food was good. We met some regulars that go one to two times a week. Now, that’s pretty impressive. They’ve only been open for a little bit over eight months, but they already have regulars.
Take notes because in the future, they will have plenty of outdoor seating when it cools down a bit. There is a 3.5% credit card charge, but not if you pay cash.
I WOULD RECOMMEND
