About this restaurant

  • Hot spot
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    Inattentive service. Pesto was barely recognizable as such. Space terrific. We really wanted to like but food and service were not a value. We won’t return.

    Our Waiter was wonderful. Spicy crab pasta was underwhelming, the shells were undercooked, not a whole lot of crab nor was it tasty. Chicken Parm needed more sauce. There were many tables open and yet we were squeezed into a 2 top. Did not live up to expectations. Will not recommend not return

    Food was inconsistent. Meat and fish all overcooked. Spicy crab dish had no heat. Octopus tough. Salads and pizzas solid. Great vibe, beautiful space.
