COCK ROACH AND AHI TUNA. ROACH IN MY FOOD... My fiance and I have been looking forward to eating here since we have heard good things. The wine and appetizers were wonderful. Everything seemed fine, I ordered the Ahi tuna and my fiance, the ravioli. The few bites I had were fine before I noticed a BABY COCK ROACH on my plate. I let out a yelp and a bus boy came by but did not help or do anything about the situation as did another server who ignored us because we were not her table. I wanted to vomit. Finally our server came over and and brought over the manager who apologized. Nearly 10 minutes had passed and we did not have an appetite so we wanted to leave. The manager did not offer to comp the meal, replace anything and we left (did not pay obviously). If there are baby roaches in this place, then there are families of roaches! The manager's explanation was that they had an exterminator come by recently and he was unsure of why there would be any left. He said they have an exterminator come by once a month. The whole situation seems gross to me. After, the valet guys were not bright at all. They brought us the wrong car! Our night was ruined. I rather have my grandmother's italian anyway.…
Zero Stars. Avoid at All Costs..
What an incredible disappointment.
My girlfriend and I dined at Sorrento on Friday, 12/2/11 at 7:30 pm. We waited 45 minutes for a table WITH reservations and were ultimately seated adjacent to a restroom (the hostess advised us that no other tables were available).
Our appetizer, the beef carpaccio (which does not require oven preparation), took 30 minutes to arrive.
Even after we had been seated and ordered entrees, the restaurant took an additional 45 minutes to serve our table.
Portion sizes were LAUGHABLY small. Prices were extraordinarily high relative to significantly higher-end, well-established Houston restaurants.
I had ordered an off-menu entree, which our server neglected to mention cost almost $20 more than the restaurant's highest-priced menu entree until I received the bill.
The noise level made dinnertime conversation difficult at best.
We attempted to address our concerns with the restaurant manager following dinner, who was patronizing, argumentative and completely unapologetic.

Amazing!. 1st time , went for our anniversary dinner - PERFECT Choice! Bar was acceptional, The food was unbelievable -Fresh Mozzerella, Wild Salmon w/ Lobster Risotto, Double Chocolate Cake with Moscato Praline Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream ~ just the Ice cream alone was worth it!, & finished w/ Lemoncello made in house ~ an incredible end. We took all of our server's suggestions, Anthony was fabulous! Thank you so much Sorrento's for an unforgettable evening!…
Good food, but not same about the service.
We went there for dinner, after reading all the nice reviews.
Main points:
-Have to valet park due to limited space. That didn't bothered us.
-The host greeted us with a nice smile. We had reservatinos (recommended).
- We waited at the bar, and the bar tender did not acknowledge of our presence, even though there were only two more couples sitting, he didnt even look at us.
- We had a similar experience with our waiter who simply didn't smile, and didnt bring us the menu for about 10 minutes. I told him with a smile that the food was good, and he didnt even move a muscle on his face.
-The food was good, well presented nice flavors, and a good list of wines.
Even though the food was good I am giving them only 2 stars because the service does not deserve more and service is very important. We left the place feeling disapointed.…
Excellent Fine Dining. We were visiting Houston and wanted to go to a nice restaurant near downtown. Sorrento came up in our web search as an excellent choice for Italian food. We were able to make our reservations on the web, get quick directions and we were off for our night out. We drove directly to the restaurant, and the experience began. We were greeted by valet parking, and entered the restaurant a few minutes before our reservation. We were seated at the bar while our table was prepared, and I immediately notice the large variety of wines available. Our service was excellent, the food was wonderful, the choice of wines was far greater than typical. My wife and I shared a salad, a pasta first plate, followed by our main dishes. The selections were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was more than attentive, actually very professional and polite, as were all the people. We were checked on by the owner of the restaurant, and finished with polite conversation. A truly excellent dinning experiance. I can guarantee an excellent night out for anyone. Don't hesitate to go...…
