Sorellina is good, but not worth a 5 star rating. We dined with them this past Saturday. The atmosphere is sophisticated and classy. While we saw a few t-shirts and a ball cap at one table, the dress is upscale casual. A sport coat for guys and a dress for the ladies is spot on.

Their service was very good and our location by a window added to the evening. We started off with several appetizers including the Polpo (octopus), Cavatelli (rabbit and pasta), and Maccheroncelli (meatball, sauce and parmigiana). All were prepared excellent and challenged the palate with sophisticated tastes. But that's where the good food ended and the main courses were average. Two of us got the Milanese which was presented well, but dry and with little flavor. The other dishes, Veal saltimbocca, and the Filet Mignon were again bland. I don't know why the appetizers could be so good and the mains fair at best. For the prices paid one would expect much better than average.

The 4 stars is a reprieve do to the excellent appetizers, but if it wasn't for those it would have been a 3.
