Voted "Best New Restaurant" by Harrisburg Magazine in 2009, Piazza Sorrento is a modern Italian restaurant based on the "Old World" Italian recipes of the owner's family back in Italy. The Bolognese sauce they grew up on and the tradition of family is the cornerstone of the Piazza Sorrento dining experience. Dedicated to providing the finest in service, food, and wine at a fair and competitive price, Piazza Sorrento makes regional and classic Italian cuisine using premium local ingredients while keeping the history of the dish and region intact.

Piazza Sorrento not only provides the best in authentic Italian cooking this side of the Atlantic, but also believes that all patrons, whether adults or children, should be welcomed like one big family - even those with certain dietary requirements. That is why Piazza Sorrento is widely known for their extensive Gluten Free menu, another reason patrons routinely drive over an hour or more to dine in relative ease and safety.

We had a great experience. The best part about this restaurant is the fact that they have an entire menu for those with gluten allergies. Our waitress was great and the food was very good.

We had a great meal. They have a huge gluten free menu one of the reasons we go here. My only concern was that we needed to change our arrival time, we were at a concert and it was running longer than anticipated. I understand that it is a pain in the neck but, we didn't need to be told in no uncertain terms that we have to be out by 6.

The food was ok. Growing up, Italian,, expecting a little bit more authenticity in the flavors of the food. Found it to be a bit bland. Pricey for the portion size as well as quality of food. Upon entering the building, the greeting from the hostess was unwelcoming and somewhat rude.

Once again, great food and service. The gluten free pasta dish was excellent as were the-non gluten free dishes that others in the party ordered. The service was great.
