Sorrento's Italian Bistro

Absolutely amazing ! Jumbo meatball was insanely good. Shared it with 4 people total and was plenty. Great flavor and presentation was beautiful. Had the chicken parm for dinner and best friend for the Parmesan crusted halibut- we split each! The fish was cooked perfectly and tasted great The chicken parm was enough for both of us and we had left overs! Our server was wonderful and did a great job explaining the specials and was quick with anything we needed. The host took our photo when we left and was so sweet! Our bar tender was a little short and not very personable but still made great drinks for our small group Was there to celebrate a birthday and this was some of the best food I’ve ever had Would recommend to anyone in or around the banner elk area !

We traveled from Alexandria, VA for the weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday and noted that in the reservation(Primo). I don’t want to come off as entitled because I’m not, I’m active duty Army and didn’t ask for any kind of military discount or special treatment, but I was a little surprised that no one acknowledged the occasion. Still, I’m able to look pass that because it’s not anyone’s job to do so. However, I can’t look pass the service. Our main server was very short with us and didn’t come across as welcoming at all, which put a bit of a damper on what was supposed to be a special night. I understand people have off days, and we still tipped well, but it was a bummer overall from a service standpoint. On a positive note, the dessert was fantastic and really helped end the even

My grandparents were Sicilian and I have eaten all over the world, this place is as good as any Italian American restaurant I've been to. The people make this place extra special. Thank you for making us feel at home!

We traveled from Florida for Valentine’s Day and this restaurant (highly recommended to us!) completely exceeded expectations! Despite a few minor hiccups early on, the manager August went above and beyond to make everything right—he personally checked in, ensured we were taken care of, and turned the night into perfection. We felt so valued and pampered. At the bar, Juliana was fantastic—she was warm, attentive, and made our whole experience amazing with her great energy and recommendations. Then came the highlight: Juliana suggested we try the desserts with Felix, and wow—what an incredible show! Felix put on an amazing performance (tableside magic!), and the desserts were delicious and unforgettable. We highly recommend this place—you won’t be disappointed! The service from August, Juli

I have many great things to say about this place! First, the setup is very nice and unique! This location has a split level with two restaurants and an awesome live music area facing it! The design is very well done. Our server did a great job explaining the menu as we were first timers! We ordered the chicken Francese and salads to par. The chicken was very juicy and the sauces and capers paired well with the meal. The garlic bread for the table was the BOMB and next time we’ll try for dessert. Until next time Sorrentos!
