It's consistently very good and the staff is friendly and helpful. I had New Year's Eve dinner here with some friends and we all enjoyed the evening- probably the best meal I've had there yet!
Keep up the excellent work Pedro and Abbas!!

I have know Abbas for 20 years and he always delivers. His staff is very attentive and makes you feel like family.
I have very few "Favorite Italian Restaurants" and this is one of the best...
Read More On Citysearch The Restaurant Critic 11/3/2009 - Pleasantly PeacefulAs soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by a pleasent valet parking staff and the host at the door was very professional and accomadating. The food took a little longer than expected but our waiter was very professional and apologized because our food had been ordered after a larger party which is why it took so long. Other than that the environment and service were wonderful and I will ...
Read More On Citysearch Jeremy Turner 10/28/2009 - A Disappointing Anniversary
We went to Sorrento for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. But the night was pretty disappointing. The foie gras was bitter, and the toast it sat on had been burned (literally black in parts). The calamari was mediocre, but nothing special. My husband's lobster bisque was great. But my butternut squash soup was really bland and very very thin -- almost watery. I had to ask for a salt shaker beca...

Read More On Citysearch Jesusdetorres 7/17/2009 - A wonderful restaurantI was very pleased with my entire experience at Sorrento, as were the other 4 people in my party. The restaurant is very nice inside, dim lighting, quiet, and well decorated. The basket of bread they bring out at the beginning is quite impressive and I wish I could have tried more of the varieties. The focaccia was delicious and the roasted garlic garlic in olive oil was a veery nice touch. O...

Read More On Citysearch sewwhat 9/1/2008 - Romantic atmosphere, Excellent food!My fiance took me here to propose to me. We got excellent service. The bread guy walking around was a bit different (in a cool way). Very nice manager and wait staff. The lobster bisque is very yummy along with all the other food on the menu!. (I just love bisque). Any time I want a romantic date, this is a good spot.
Read More On Citysearch jennifer0617 6/26/2008 - Fabulous Sunday BrunchWhat a lovely restaurant. We went for Sunday Brunch (which features bottomless mimosas) and were completely delighted with our experience. The Eggs Benedict were perfect ! The Lobster Ravioli was in a lovely lemon cream sauce that I could have eaten with a spoon if it wasn't so rich. The pianist on the Baby Grand just added to the overall ambience we were seeking on Sunday Morning. We will ...
Read More On Citysearch thewinelady 1/31/2008 - Good ExperienceMy wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last night. The service was outstanding. The food was also good. It is a nice, dimly lit, romantic dining room. The butternut squash risotto is really good. Also, we had a sampling of ravioli that was great. I had a salmon with crab and shrip special that was excellent. My wife had lobster, and how can that be bad? And they have a bread guy wa...
Read More On Citysearch emery_matt 1/27/2008 - Excelelnt food and ambienceThis is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in Houston (only matched by Antica Osteria). Food is always excellent and service comparable. On our most recent visit, we tried a Barolo (recommended by the waiter) and matched with 2 lovely meat dishes (steak for me and veal for my wife). The service was excellent and very attentive. We'd highly recommend any of the specials, whcih we normally ...

Read More On Citysearch barolo561 11/9/2007 - Best BrunchWe are veteran brunchers and decided to have a birthday celebration at Sorrento, Sunday the 14th. We all arrived at the same time and were seated promptly by a darling hostess, courteous and smiling. The restaurant is beautiful and has a sense of warmth. We had a fantastic waiter, Sergio, who made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the "bread man" who was serving a delicious array of ...
Read More On Citysearch mtormo 10/15/2007 - GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND SERVICEWent here in May with girl's night out. The place is gorgeous - very dimly lit - secluded tables - piano bar!
They start off with a server circulating around with a large bread basket with lots of choices. They are very helpful with the wine list and NEVER rush you- yet continually check on you. The food varied for us. Great appetizers - but our fish was not that great. Fishy tasting and v...
Read More On Citysearch dmkmom 7/26/2007 - Romantic Place to DineI was taken here as a first date. Although I was not impressed with my ' date' , I was impressed with the restaurant. I had the grilled scallops with risotto which was excellent. My date order dessert for us to split but when it came he ate the whole thing and by the time I managed to pick up my fork only crumbs and a small bite was left. I suppose it was good. The atmosphere is very masculine...
Read More On Citysearch gueneverejj 7/9/2007 - A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE!I wasn't the biggest fan of italian food until this weekend that I had dinner at Sorrento. I went with my husband expecting a nice meal based on the comments that I have viewed about this restaurant but I honestly have to say that they surpassed my expectations. The restaurant is beautiful and very romantic with live piano music, I commented to my waiter one of my all time favorite melodies and s...
Read More On Citysearch mapi 4/25/2007 - Fabulous!It was a beautiful restaraunt with fabulous food and great service by both staff and managers. I went alone to check it out for a future special evening. They toured me through the fireplace room,a room off to the side that is sort of like a patio looking out that is lovely and a wine room was fantastic for business or special dining. The bar if wonderful also. I had the Wild Mushroom Risotto ...

Our main course was also wonderful. My fiancee and I went there and found it to be very romantic with the live Piano music. We had fun sipping our wine and trying to figure out which song she was playing. You must go and try. The entrees are in the $20-$30 price range and worth eve...

When we got there, there was valet parking, we walked into a beautiful dining room with a quaint bar and a live pianist. They have a great wine list and a menu that makes you want to come back the next night to order the other meals you were eyeing. Their wild mushroom risotto with wh...

The atmosphere was wonderful and the food even better. This will definitely be our place to go from now on when we have a night out away from the kids!
Read More On Citysearch hannah530 7/13/2006 - Disappointing Food
We had high hopes on our first visit to this restaurant. Ambience is pleasant and the menu comprehensive. Roasted garlic garnish served with the several choices of bread further piqued our gustatory interest. We ordered the 5 course "Chef's Dinner" ($45) to let the chef show us his wares. First course mushroom pasta was tasty if a bit rich for a first course; Caprese salad (roma tomato/mozzarel...

Highly recommended.I requested a special table, and they sat us at a fantastic quiet table in the corner with excellent ambiance. All of the food we had was great and highly recommended. My wife and I had the seared foie gras & escargot appetizers to start. I had appetizer portions of the wild mushroom ravioli and the lobster ravioli as my main course, while my wife had the prosciutto wrapped-beef tenderloin. T...
Read More On Citysearch shaneajohnson 1/22/2006 - Do Not Go Here!The owner is horrible!! I called after spending $100 at this restaraunt and the owner yelled at me when their computer over charged me. Instead of being a professional in the service industry he completely started yelling saying it was my problem and hung up on me. Regardless if the food is good, this kind of treatment should not be given to customers! there are much better places that will actua...
