Restaurants in Saddleworth

Absolutely fantastic, Food quality & presentation amazing, Service by very friendly staff, and lovely atmosphere

Visited Sorella last night. It’s a place I’ve been to many times and it’s usually 10/10 for both food and service. Drinks service at the start was a little slow despite it not being particularly busy. Starters arrived quickly though and were excellent. The gamberoni and beetroot salad were both outstanding. There was quite a long gap between starters and mains, around 45 minutes, which felt a bit too long. When the mains arrived, the lamb pasta unfortunately came out stone cold. To their credit it was sent back and replaced fresh within about 10 minutes, which was handled well. The chorizo and nduja carbonara was also a bit bland and ended up half untouched. On the positive side, the cheesy garlic bread and parmesan truffle fries were as good as ever. When we mentioned the cold pasta at the end of the meal, the team removed it from the bill which was appreciated. Overall the service felt a little more transactional than the usual warm, authentic experience I’ve come to expect here. First time I’ve had anything less than a great visit, so hopefully just a one off as it’s normally one of my go-to spots.
