The stunning restaurant, which is the first of its kind in Radnor, will transport guests to the Greek Islands with an atmosphere reminiscent of an inviting Mediterranean home, and a menu of authentic specialties, simply prepared, that represent the best of Greek cuisine. The restaurant specializes in whole grilled fish, which are flown in from the Greek islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal, and procured from independent North American fishermen. We have created a welcoming restaurant designed with the comforts of a typical Greek home. We used materials such as hand-chiseled Jerusalem limestone floors, hand woven rugs, vaulted ceilings, antiqued stucco walls, wood plank floors and exposed wood beams to evoke the traditional atmosphere. A series of dining areas feature rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs with beige cushions and dining nooks with upholstered banquettes. The homelike ambiance is accentuated with whitewashed walls.

From the moment you walk in and are greeted with a smile, like walking into a friends home, then seated and immediately approached by your server (with a smile) you know you are in for a special dinner. This was my 6th time with friends (who have never been) and were impressed by the choices on the menu. YES! our dinners were delicious and went home with another meal for the next day....ENJOY!!

We have eaten at Carina Sorella multiple times since it’s opened and it has not disappointed! 6 of us shared the Spicy pizza, burrata, tuna crudoand meatballs to start. The kitchen also brought us out complimentary arancini which were delicious! The apps were fabulous and generously portioned(we definitely ordered too much!). For dinner we had the osso buco, chicken parm, pork Milanese, cacio de Pepe and the spicy crab pasta. All fantastic!
