Sorrento Restaurant Description

Sorrento is a traditional Italian restaurant, offering silver service amidst elegant surroundings. Jackie and Tony de Angelis and their family see to it that their guests, be they business, family or friends enjoy dishes made with the finest ingredients, with friendly service and a great selection of Italian wine.
There is something vaguely whimsical that in the birthplace of one of England's greatest playwrights an Italian restaurant of the quality of Sorrento should be on hand to delight the lives of those who flock to Stratford upon Avon to witness the works of Shakespeare, well laced with their cast of highly convincing Italian characters.
In the summer al fresco dining is available on the patio. Naturally, in this theatre-blessed town, pre and after theatre dinners are served, and there is a three course lunch special for tourists and business people.
A quick glance at the menu reveals traditional, well-loved dishes such as mussels gently simmered in white wine, with garlic, chilli and parsley in tomato sauce or garlic bread topped with tomato, oregano and fresh basil, or with mozzarella.
No Italian menu would be complete without a selection of pasta dishes, amongst which are penne in a traditional spicy tomato, garlic, chilli and herb sauce, or the spaghetti alla Bolognese embraced in the chef's mince meat, tomato and Italian herb sauce. All pasta dishes may be taken as a starter or main course.
Main fish dishes include salmon with prawns in a Vermouth, cream and dill sauce with spinach, and fillet of pork pizzaiola. Escallops of veal in a white wine, shallots and cream sauce come topped with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.
The Bard, who displays no evidence of having been inclined to vegetarianism as far as is known, might reasonably have been expected to approve of the medaglione della casa, medallions of fillet steak flamed in brandy in a peppercorn and cream sauce. The culinary flamenco is a popular feature of this restaurant, applied with a frequency and enthusiasm that would have had the witches of Cawdor reaching for their broomsticks with cackling alacrity.
A daily selection of sweets at which the Italians are so adept, brings the meal to a graceful ending, and those who love their cheese will rejoice to see a good selection from Italy, with Formaggio, their answer to England's Stilton, well to the fore. Gelato is Italian for ice cream, and the selection at Sorrento is agreeably bewildering.
There is particularly good value to be had at lunchtime when the set menu is on offer at £12.90 for two courses, three for £16.90. At such prices the rascally and un-lovely Shylock would be counting his beans all the way to Venice.

Alan (9 November 2009)
We wanted a good restaurant for our wedding anniversary and read the previous reviews; I am pleased to say we were not disappointed. The food was fabulous, the atmosphere perfect and the attention of the staff cannot be faulted. Highly recommended - we will go back.
Lorraine (20 April 2009)
Booking was easy, had a pre-theatre dinner there on Saturday night. Service was of a high standard and the food was lovely.
