Office party made fun

by D2Boston

Our company had an office party there monday night, one of many. We had appetizers and their fabulous pizzas and had the entire front of the restaurant to ourselves. The bartender was also our waitress and she made the night a ton of fun. She was happy, accommodating and fast. Great accent too! I recommend this place to everyone but wanted to give kudos to the great food and to Karen our bartender.

• Pros: Service, food

Eat at your own risk -- restaurant did nothing upon notifying them of severe illness resulting from food

by boswin

Restaurant seemed nice, although was curiously quiet on a weekend evening. Service was okay, waiter came over too much as he didn't have many other tables with patrons. Had horrendous illness from the food that knocked me out for 3 days from an appetizer (only thing I didn't share with the table) . I notified the restaurant and they have yet to respond, evidently they don't care about the health of their customers or the food preparation in their establishment. Will never return.

• Pros: decor
• Cons: questionable food sourcing / preparation

Great Customer Service

by dwoods80

I go to Sorriso practically every friday during lunch and I must say even though it is ridiculously packed, my party and I are always greeted and sitted promptly. Our waitress always makes sure to mention the specials (even though she has an accent she doesnt mind repeating the specials knowing it gets annoying) and have that incredible warm and friendly personality, has an incredible smile and makes sure to come by to check on us. Even though the tables are fairly tiny, I feel like I really get my money worth and must I say the food is delicious.

Pros: staff, food!

Cons: could get very busy

Casual dining

by cittygrrl

I found this place on City Search when looking for a place to go for dinner with my guy on a Friday night after work. We walked right in & were the first ones there for the dinner crowd - the bar area was hopping! Even though we were the first dinner table for the night, service was prompt, the manager discussed a wine selection with us in detail and made an excellent recommendation. The decor is different for an Italian restaurant - felt like I was on the set of Rick's bar in "Casablanca". But we were very comfortable and were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner. The waitress was very attentive and easily dealt with a mix-up of what i had ordered (not sure if it was my fault or not) with absolutely no fuss at all. Prices are a little high for the portions you receive but the food was excellent and the wine was even better! And dessert was to-die-for... Overall a very pleasant experience.

• Pros: excellent service, great atmosphere
• Cons: portion size relative to price

Great Pizza, Terrible Service

by kspindle

I regularly go to Sorriso for consistently delicious thin-crust pizza, an interesting italian-focused wine list, and wonderful rustic italian entrees. I have brought multiple friends (with multiple palattes) here and everyone has been impressed. I recommend the warm olives, and spicy green beans, and their $20 something bottle of montelpulciano is one of my favorites.

Update 6/4/08: I came here with friends on Monday for their $5 pizza night. Karen, the bartender is usually working Mondays and is amazing, but this Monday there was a bartender working who was in a terrible mood which put a damper on the whole evening. When he accidentally spilled an expensive beer on my friend, he made her feel like she ruined his evening and after asking if she could have a refill on what she missed, he scoffed and said "like I'm going to open another bottle". After that he refused to stop by our table when we asked for drink refills and to order food, saying each time "One second, I'm busy". Terrible service, I won't be back unless I know Karen is working.

• Pros: Good Pizza, Nice Wine List
• Cons: Service

good italian and pizza in the leather district

by topdominator

the best nightlife scene in this barren part of town, decent wine list, pretty bar area

In the heart of the barren Leather District resides one of the city's most stylish trattorias.

In Short
Located just steps away from sister restaurant Les Zygomates, Sorriso offers authentic rustic Italian fare and a handsome bar area. Designer cocktails and selections from an all-Italian wine list appeal to the corporate crowd, while thin-crust brick oven pizzas (housemade sausage, grilled rosemary chicken) work well for groups. Upscale menu entries include monkfish in lemon piccata sauce and Portobello carpaccio with truffled caramelized onion jam and arugula.
