Sorrentinos

I have been coming to Sorrentinos for occasions over the last 25 years, the best Italian food you can get in Northampton with a great team of staff who are extremely accommodating and provide sound recommendations. I personally reccomend the Itallian Experience menu if you are dining with a large group as it allows you to eat in the traditional Italian way with friends and also adds an element of fun to your meal, especially if you let the chef choose your meals for you.

We have dined at this restaurant numerous times over the years, so thought it was about time I left a review. We pre-booked a table as it was for the Saturday (the week before Christmas), so expected it to be busy. It was. The restaurant is situated over two floors and we always dine on the top floor, as for us it's the best atmosphere and setting. We were greeted by the owner and chef, who has always treated us the same, always friendly and welcoming and treats you special. If he has time he will always come to the table for a chat. He showed us upstairs and we were greeted again by friendly smiling staff who gave us a choice of two tables. We ordered drinks and time was taken to order food. For starter we shared a ciabatta garlic bread, which comes as 6 slices. Perfect for a starter for two. For mains I ordered the lasagne gorgonzola, which is a firm favourite of mine. It's one of the only restaurants where the lasagne comes perfectly cooked on a plate, instead of as a hot pot. My wife ordered the penne con gorgonzola fungi e arucola. Again a firm favourite and also was perfectly cooked. For desserts I ordered a chocolate pudding with cream and my wife had a lemon cheesecake. Both were delicious. The bill came to just over £73 for a shared starter, 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 glasses of wine. Considering the excellent atmosphere, nice friendly staff, excellent quality food it's really good value. This is one of the rare, family owned restaurants that has consistently served excellent food with superb service over many years. I really hope it continues to do so. It really is a hidden gem.

Can't believe I've lived in Northampton most my life and I've only just discovered Sorrentino! If you love Italian- you must try. Rustic restaurant, across 2 floors. It got pretty busy towards the evening so would recommend booking. Me and my friend went early and took advantage of the early bird menu which is really good value for money. (Not sure whether this is available all week or set days). The portion sizes are generous and the food was delicious! We had 2 bottles of wine and 3 courses and it came to just over £80 altogether. The staff here are warm and welcoming- absolutely would come here again! (May have to wear joggers next time as my stomach was so full by the end) 🤣
