From the people that brought you Trattoria Carina, Pub & Kitchen and The Diving Horse comes their newest restaurant, Carina Sorella.

Carina Sorella is a casual neighborhood Italian restaurant with a focus on delicious and approachable food in a bright, vibrant atmosphere. Our menu is built around classic dishes - Spaghetti and Meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmesan - but we surround that core of dishes with seasonal, chef driven specialties.

The Bryn Mawr location will include the addition of a pizza oven and a full bar, building on the smaller footprint of the existing location in Philadelphia, Trattoria Carina.

    Lovely dinner with friends. We ordered family style as the portions are substantial. Everything we tried was interesting and delicious. Really enjoyed the pesto made with pistachios. We also got to try a new dessert. It's becoming a neighborhood favorite!

    Our dinner at Carina Sorella was delicious once again! Everything was spot on! Wehad the octopus that was done perfectly, not too tough at all. The whipped ricotta was amazing as was the chopped salad. Pizzas were so good, the dough / crust was cooked to perfection and the flavors of the pear pizza were out of this world with speck, thyme, talleggio and honey. Lastly we also ordered two pastas - the gemelli and rigatoni and everyone loved both.

    The food was delicious. The pancakes are so fluffy and yummy, the best I’ve had in years! My children enjoyed their meals as well. We had the breakfast pizza, and the fancy grilled cheese, the sweet bread that it was made on was so good. My husband had the crab pasta and enjoyed that as well.

    Our first time here and it won't be our last. The cocktails and food are very good. Fresh pastas are excellent as are the pizzas. Our Server Joseph Z was excellent; very friendly, attentive and helpful. Only thing they can improve is the loudness. Difficult to have a conversation. Begin by lowering the volume of the music. It's not a disco. Other than that, looking forward to returning.

    The place has a great vibe. The food is solid although the menu could be updated on occasion. The service was spotty. Nice neighborhood place.

    Service was good, but main course was served while we were still eating our appetizer, therefore ice cold when we got to it.

    Very good overall. Beautiful restaurant and food was mostly good. Burrata appetizer and Cherry Crumble dessert were amazing. My Pork Milanese was flavorful but overcooked and tough. We ate at the bar and the service was friendly. The atmosphere was nice except that when the door opened it was very breezy and cold at the bar or the tables near the door. We will go back because we liked the vibe very much.
