Carina Sorella

Trattoria Carina's little sister! It was so good! We started out with the Caesar salad, burrata garlic knot and the cacio e Pepe pizza. The pizza absolutely stole the show. The Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing and the burrata to bread ratio was not equal. But we still enjoyed both. The chicken parm is a must try and we got the crab pasta which I liked and the rigatoni which was also delish!Service was amazing and the vibes are great. We will be back. Can't wait to try more menu items.

A high-end Italian restaurant with lots of staff and an upscale dining room. On a busy Friday night, we dined at the bar. It was loud but the hostess offered to seat us once there was a cancellation; how nice.Sadly, we couldn't wait. Our young bartender spent a lot of time w/another guest and left us with empty plates. But service was fast and friendly from others.The garlic knot was/burrata was fantastic. Great meatballs. Pass on the Caesar salad and the subpar tuna crudo.I'll be back once the newness factor has worn off.

Very good pasta! We got the cacio e pepe, gemelli, and mafaldine pastas as well as the Caesar salad. All three pastas were delicious although the mafaldine could have used a bit more salt. Yes I know I'm one of the many customers that says more salt! Lol but it tasted a bit bland compared to the others. The salad was yummy and chilled which I like and we also got the focaccia with honey butter that was out of this world. The staff were friendly and the space was open and well designed. So much better than the space in Philly where you're shoved in there like a sardine.Only downside is this place is very expensive. Some of the prices seems too high on some of their menu items.

This review pains me to write because I was so excited about this restaurant opening up. It was for sure one of the worst meals I've had out in a while. I'll start with the good which is the staff. From the moment we entered the restaurant all of the staff were welcoming and our waitress was very nice. Now, on to the food. We started with the Margarita Pizza. Just eh. Nothing special at all. Entrees...before I ordered I asked our server for some recommendations. I was leaning toward the Linguini with crab but wanted to be sure the sauce (gravy) was good and flavorful. I asked several questions about the flavor of the sauce, specifically is it flavorful. O was told yes it is and it's one of the most popular dishes. Good, I was sold. That pasta came out and one glance knew it was not gonna be good. It looked like noodles and watery sauce. One bite and that's exactly what it tasted like. As I was eating it, I was shaking my head no. I didn't even eat half before I had to call it quits. It literally tasted like a pasta water with hint of crab flavor. For $29 there is barely any crab but more like a crab dusting. I got the pasta wrapped up and figured I'd fix it when I got home. My husband ordered the Chicken Parm. It is one large pounded piece of chicken and that's it. He was told by the waitress that it comes with nothing and recommended getting a side of pasta. He did just that so the chicken parm dish went from $29 to close to $50. I mean seriously...$50 for chicken park is absurd! Especially for nothing special chicken parm and pasta. I also had a drink at the bar, the Mulo Pesca. Also not good and seemed flat, like the ginger beer was nonexistent to the drink. Before our server came back I said to my husband if they ask if we want dessert it's an absolute no. I was not going to attempt to try anything else. The server did ask about dessert and noticed we finished our entrees quite quickly and asked if that was because we were full or didn't enjoy it and to be honest. I did just that and let her know my thoughts on what we ordered. They removed the margarita pizza from then bill. The restaurant is nice and beautifully designed but it is so noisy inside that several times I had to ask the bartenders and servers to repeat themselves. Most likely I will not be back and this is a one and done restaurant.

Carina Sorella is a fantastic addition to the Main Line food scene! The vibe is great and staff is nice. We dined with 4 people and got to try many things on the menu. The highlights were the chicken parm and pear pizza, but honestly everything was fantastic. We will definitely be back soon

Delicious meal, great pasta and that Caesar salad was a chefs kiss, will be back ! Ambience was nice too, everyone was spread out and not on top of each other.

Last weekend we decided to try the newly opened Carina Sorella in Bryn Mawr. It is bright and vibrant with lots of natural light. The staff were warm & welcoming and the food was full of flavor. Some of the starter dishes were small but the pasta & main courses made up for them with their size. The restaurant also offers quite a beverage menu full of unique spritz & negroni options which are worth the try. Overall this was a delightful evening and Carina Sorella is & will be a great new addition to the mainline.

The food and service were amazing. We love their sister restaurant in the city. But this one had some perks: easier parking, more space, and a wonderfully stocked bar with some delicious drinks. Came without reservations (eekkk-we know!) but had full service at the bar.

What a disappointment. Four of us had a couple of drinks, shared two appetizers, and pastas and with the tip the total was $400!The food was lukewarm & bland. It was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think, much less hear your neighbor. We felt rushed by the service as it seems clearthey must instruct them to check with the table every five minutes. One and done .

Great spot. All around great dinner here, food was outstanding and the service as well. They really go above and beyond to check on your table and make sure your meal is good. I will definitely be back. We got chicken parm and pizza and both were excellent, as well as the chopped salad. Portions are large and the drinks were good too.
