Read previous reviews, and they made me want to try this place. It lived up to the reviews; the good was very good and the service was excellent. It was a Sunday evening, so the noise level was minimal. The live music (piano) added to the overall ambiance.

Houston has a gem of a Italian Restaurant in Sorrento.

Located a few blocks in Montrose from downtown. this elegant restaurant with great food, service and atmosphere has become on of our family's favorite meeting spots.

Their Sunday Brunch special is incredible with all of their signature dishes available on special pricing.

I believe I have eaten everything on their menu during the last 4 years and everything was incredible.

I tell all my friends that I have eaten the best meal of my life at Sorrento. Seriously!

We have been to Sorrentos several times in the past and found the restaurant, food and service very good. That was not the case this particular Saturday night - the tables seemed crowded together, the sound level was loud and I believe our waiter was overwhelmed. The food from the kitchen was unevenly timed and certainly uneven in quality and taste. Although the shortrib dish was tasty, the lamb chops were heavily dosed with cheese and the fish was inedible - Don't think we will be returning. When we mentioned our concerns to the concierge on the way out, her response was that "it was Saturday night"....seems all the more reason to have your A game going and not sending in the B, or shall I say C team!

The ambiance is charming and the menu is diverse with a wide range of choices. There are solid classic Italian choices mixed with some nice innovative choices. That was what drew us there to begin with. The food was hit or miss. Salad was overdressed but the duck was underseasoned. The service was wonderful and the bread was a nice touch. The veal meatballs were quite good. We will give them another try. All in all a good night out.

As always, excellent meal, just the right amount of attention from the owner and wait staff, and all had a great experience.

We were celebrating my husband's birthday at the Sunday Brunch. The food, wine and service were outstanding. The Osso Bucco, Snapper and the Veal Piccata were each excellent as was the Tuscany Bean Soup, Lobster Bisque and the Escargot. The older gentleman at the door waited on us and he knew his wines and suggested two bottles for our celebration that were outstanding.

Great ambiance. Beautiful piano music. Outstanding service. And the food really good!!

If you like great northern Italian cooking, there is none better in Houston. Our group of four enjoyed appetizers of salad, carpaccio, butternut squash soup, and mushroom risotto, all absolutely delicious. One diner had the veal rib, and the other three had the halibut, and all raved about the dishes and the accompanying accompaniments. Dessert included one of the best gelatos we have had in town.

Tried the HRW menu for lunch. Did not disappoint .

Sorrento is a great place for a power lunch. Great food and wait staff. This is one of my favorite places to take clients. My close rate after lunch is very high!

I discovered this restaurant on a business trip a year ago and It is on my radar every time I travel to Houston

Fantastic! They are a high class place.

My friend and I went for Sunday brunch during Houston Restaurant Week. The food was very good. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered good suggestions. The restaurant is very nice; however, the noise level was, in my opinion, high. The dining areas seemed a little crowded. I've not been there before so I don't know if this is the standard set-up or if extra tables were available due to HRW.

The service was slow but pretty good food. My friend ordered the chicken dish from hrw which was awesome.

The food is outstanding and the service impeccable. I've dined here several times and love the atmosphere, the food, and the service. It's consistently a great experience.

This was our second time to have dinner at Sorrento and it did not disappoint. The two other couples we invited to join us before the theater had never been there and loved it. The wait staff was quite prompt and met our needs totally.

This is one of our all time favorite things to do in Houston. It's the Westheimer pick of the liter. I love the food and the presentation is amazing. Takes me right back to Italy from the artisan crafted breads to the desserts your engaged with conversation with your waiter who knows the menu, the wine and anything you want to know about preperations. If your wanting to impress this is the place to go. The item I love the best has to be the sea bass. They are known for it and well deserved reviews are totally on the mark. Just go and be pleasantly pleased.

Wonderful evening with delicious food and friends! The only negative about the entire evening is that it was a bit warm. Could have been the corner we were tucked into (and there were 10 of us). It would have been nice if the piano player would have played more too. Sadly, he had quite a few intermissions that evening. We will definitely go back to Sorrentos!

Absolutely delighted with the spectacular food and superb service. Could not have been more pleased.

Tired and in need of a perking up. The food was so mediocre to poor if you are a food fan don't go. The veal piccata was paper thin, over salted, over lemon, and flour tasting without a nice seared crust. The arugula had that old slimy taste and the carpaccio was served on a room temperature plate and appeared to be ground meat of some sort not beautiful thin sliced steak. Maybe in its day it was a great place - not now.

Friend's birthday, we were seated after a few minutes delay. Corner table. Attentive waiter who had waited on us previously. Food was good value and delicious as it was Restaurant Week.

Their normal excellent food seemed to be compromised by taking too many reservations to accommodate HTW diners. It made the seating a bit crowded as well.

Our first visit to Sorrento was outstanding. Food was great, especially the salmon filet. Peter, our server, made the occasion. He was attentive, sharp and delightful. We will be back.

This was the second birthday visit for my girlfriend and I, and probably my fifth visit overall. NOT ONCE has Sorrento failed to impress. An elegant facility, it's obvious that the entire staff is well trained, takes pride in their jobs, and aims for customer satisfaction.

Is this an inexpensive venue? No. For a couple, expect to spend at least $100-$150 for a respectable dinner and a glass of wine each. However, the value is exceptional and is well worth it!

Never been here? Here's what to expect: a hip location, friendly valet parking, a clean, elegant, grand interior, a HUGE selection of complimentary breads to choose from, top-notch, professional service from a well-dressed staff, absolutely delicious food, and a thanks for your patronage on the way out.

The facility is fit for groups, business meetings, and romantic meals. Live piano music is sometimes available.

On the way out, the hostess said, "Come again."

We will.

You will not be disappointed with the food and service in Sorrento. You pay the price though.

The bread basket was just outstanding and the portions were really good. Very fresh taste and quite flavorful

Great food.

We drive in from the suburbs to dine at Sorrento a couple times a year and they are consistently good. We've never been disappointed.

Absolutely delightful experience all around—from being greeted by the owner upon arrival, to being seated at the exact table we requested near the pianist, to the delicious food, impeccable service and lovely ambience. The evening could not have been any better!

This is our favorite. Good and service is well beyond what you normally get in Houston. Waiters know their stuff! We highly recommend Sorrento's for all of our friends. A true gem.

Excellent food and ambiance. Food and service were good and the restaurant is very nice for a quiet dinner on special occasions.

We love everything about Sorrento's. The bread, the menu selections, the specials, as well as the desserts. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive.

Food and service were outstanding. Felt the wine by the bottle was reasonable for the quality but by the glass was overpriced.

The food was well prepared/ served hot. Great presentation - had lunch during HRW. Will definitely go back!

wonderful lunch, beautiful atmosphere, great meal very tasty and perfect lunch experience.

Wonderful food, service and experience. Will go back!

A little pricey, and we frequent some of the finest restaurants in Houston, so we know what is pricey and what is not, but overall the experience was very good. The food was great and the service attentive. Starting with my beet salad was excellent and my wife found the burrata salad fantastic. The veal chop and Chilean sea bass were both great. We will be back.

I would of like for the manager or owner whoever was there that day to be more attentive to all the tables not just certain ones.

Very poor cut of salmon, ordered MR (as salmon should be) and got sushi. Next attempt was medium. Why bother. The quality of this salmon was similar to low end chains. I would have expected more from a restaurant that is fairly high-priced. Had to wait for service although traffic was light. On top of that the restaurant was overly hot. Granted it was 100 degrees outside, but again at these prices, you expect more.

Everything was great. Food, service and atmosphere excellent!!!
