A gem of a find in the neighborhood. Super nice staff with an amazing and thoughtful service ! The truffle arancini was 🔥, as was the corn cream pasta! Great value for money and most of all - Dog friendly ! Definite recommend and will visit again:)
I had a pleasant experience at Sorella restaurant (Clapham, London, UK) today with family, kids, and friends. While the decor didn't exude confidence and appeared less than immaculate, it wasn't exactly unclean. The food, on the other hand, was quite enjoyable. The arancini and burrata were particularly delicious, and the starters like focaccia were good too. The house red wine was satisfactory. While the pasta dishes were tasty, they didn't reach the level of extraordinary. The attentive and helpful staff added to the positive experience. All in all, Sorella is a decent dining option, but I wouldn't consider it the best Italian restaurant I've tried.
Sorella was SOO yummy. One of the better Italian places in London. Make a booking as it gets really busy. Would highly recommend the arancini and mushroom tagliatelle. The service was good and the decor / vibe is lovely too. A must-visit if you’re in the clapham area.

Very good Italian restaurant just off Clapham High Street. Quite quiet for a Friday lunchtime. We started with 3 antipasti: brilliant focaccia, smoked cod's row with seaweed crackers and a vesuvio tomatoes dish. We then had two primi: wild mushroom tagliatelle and gnocchi with mussels. All the dishes were excellent. There is also a very good wine list. Coupled with unobtrusive and helpful service this restaurant is highly recommended.
The overall experience was highly satisfying, especially when it came to the arancini, which were exceptional. Don't miss the opportunity to savor the dark chocolate dessert with hazelnut; it's definitely worth a try. The service was commendable, but it's worth noting that the restaurant's limited size resulted in a small team of hardworking waitstaff.
Highly recommended, you can't miss this place in London.
I didn't know this place but I spot just walking on the 25th because I was in that area for an event.
I really enjoyed the gnocchi with mussels. The best I had in London and I could feel they were super fresh.
This is not something I give for granted as I had a terrible experience in another restaurant Figo in Stratford were mussels were smelling badly and I could not eat them.
The fresh hand-made focaccia with new olive oil was very nice and helpful for my "scarpetta".
Waiters are very kind.
Probably I will provide filtered water for free, putting on the bill "free" so that the client doesn't give for granted and at the beginning of the service asking to the client if he wants or not. It's not a big deal, it will not change the bottom line of the restaurant but it is a small detail.
I think I was lucky to find a seat, a place like that should be always full booked.
A delightful neighbourhood Italian with a cosy atmosphere.
This was a great spot for afternoon lunch. 3 antipasti and 3 pastas were the perfect amount for two hungry people.
Out of the antipasti, the pick for us was the buratta with beetroot and candied walnuts, followed closely by the aubergine parmigiana .
For pasta, it was tough to call a favourite but the gnocchi with leek and onion was packed full of flavour.
Will definitely be back 🥇

Dined in around 10pm with reservation. Stayed to have drinks to chit chat and food was fresh and delicious!
Finally a Brit restaurant that knows how to elevate Italian cuisine! The food and drinks were so delicate and rich in flavour; extremely tasty!
I definitely recommend it!
I guess the only constructive feedback would be to improve the interiors and the cleanliness, considering the £££.
A gorgeous little restaurant off the beaten track. Gorgeous Italian food and in a wonderful setting. The back of the restaurant has a high ceiling and glass roof meaning there is a lovely light. The decor is a combination of 50s styling and urban chic, it’s just lovely!! Food is light and tasty, but could be seasoned a little more. Drinks were lovely also. I found the prices high for a restaurant in Clapham but the service was great and the food was brill.
Wonderful restaurant - food was superb and staff were friendly. You will need a torch or magnifying glass to read the menu the way it’s currently printed :p but power through, it’s worth it! I would love to come back for a giant bowl of the mushroom/corn pasta dish - perhaps they could do main-sized portions of their lovely pastas (that’s not feedback - I just loved it that much). Relatively small restaurant and quite busy so book in advance. Was warm and loud on the night we visited so I recommend dress accordingly and sit closer if you want to have a conversation. This is a gem regardless.
Great Italian food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend had a such a nice evening here. Thank you!
A very cosy restaurant tucked away off of Clapham high street serving some fantastic Italian food, with a nice menu that works for both for sharing small plates, and having a full 4 course dinner. Make sure to book as it gets busy!
Sorella was a great experience. This was my second time here. Food is delicious and rightly priced. The ambience is great and the service was moderate. The servers were not particularly pleasant, nor were they arrogant.
Portion sizes are small but a great place to share food and try quite a few great options.
Do call ahead, or they may not have availability.
Such a great tasting experience! To get over the sadness that was the news that The Dairy has closed, we went to Sorella for the set menu.
As a low carb eater, I can definitely say that all the sinning was worth it. The arancini has converted me to a risotto lover, so creamy in its truffle goodness. The focaccia, far more generous a serving than the photo I have displayed, was a good balance of salty and freshness.
The aubergine and sorbet were the highlights for me. The best I’ve had!
Wanted to go here for some time and finally bothered to drop in today without a booking. Firstly service was fab, warm friendly, kind and accommodating.considering it was a Saturday they bent over backwards to get us a table albeit for a limited window.
Opted for a quick starter of lamb and
Fish roe followed by gnocchi and beef shin and pappardelle…. All was wonderful, plate licking good.. this is a place I will sprint back to, well worth a visit and will become a local for me.
Great lunch. My friend and I did the chefs menu. She’s coeliac and we were pleased that they could do almost everything gluten-free for her (incl gluten-free pasta). Everything was delicious and we rolled out a few hours later very full but only about £50 lighter. Great value for money.
This place is truly a gem! Very relaxed and gives off a bistro type feel but the food that comes from the kitchen is one of a kind. Tried their taster menu and it was a very good choice. I am.not a chocolate person and to make up for it.. I got to try 3 different ice creams. Yep! The staff here are truly exceptional..you have to try the cheese.. like awesome! Plus I got given some sourdough rye bread to try at home... yes.. The manor is truly special!
