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.

We had brunch on a Saturday morning- it was quiet, beautiful & the food was amazing. It was hard to decide what to eat because there was so many delicious looking choices. I had the eggs in purgatory, my best friend had the Riggatoni. Both were great! We want to go back again and try more of what they have to offer.

Called before making reservation to ask if they accommodate Gluten Free. I was told that they have Gluten free pasta not Pizza. When I arrived, I reiterated about pasta, and I was told that the gluten free pasta was imported from Italy and is wonderful. Well not true and unfortunately, they managed to cook pasta throw on a plate with water from cooking the pasta from the pot. Was not good. I do have thank them for removing coast for pasta dish that should have never been served to me as well as the over dressed Ceaser salad. I was fearful to eat anything else because they are misleading about their food.

The pasta dishes were anything but Italian! The beet salad must have been left over from the night before. We will never go back. The staff however were outstanding. They need an Italian chef!

We were a party of four. The restaurant service was outstanding. The drinks and cocktails were very good. The noise level is almost overwhelming. The chicken Parm was bland to the point of being almost tasteless. The scallops were extremely fishy and overcooked. Good was also not very hot. Very disappointed by the quality of the food, but the service and ambience were good.
