Mary Beth Ray-Simone We stumbled upon this gem while out on a road trip in the Bethel / Woodstock area across from Kauneonga Lake. Sorella Restaurant is owned & operated by wife & husband team, Crissy & Gerry. There is a pizzeria, as well as, a formal dining room with linen table cloths & napkins which has a retro vibe & is also seasonally decorated for Halloween. A beautiful party room is available with a dance floor for your special events. When we were seated, we requested music by Frank Sinatra & were happily accommodated.
The red sauce is made from scratch. The eggplant parmigiana is made to order & was so flavorful & delicious; no breadcrumbs. The entrees are served with a super fresh side salad & a choice of pasta.
There is an extensive wine list & for those who may prefer their red wine chilled, red & white wines were available chilled or room temperature.
The desserts were very fresh & the cannoli shell was crispy & filled to order.
The only thing missing was the people. We were the only table in the dining room on a dreary Saturday afternoon. Its a great time of year to get out & enjoy the beautiful foliage, so make Sorella Restaurant part of your road trip!
P.S. We ordered the freshly made lasagna to go & heated it for dinner upon our return to Jersey. It was fabulous! Very lite filled with the perfect balance of ricotta, ground beef & sausage just like my mother-in-law used to make. If you are in the area, order it for Thanksgiving & save yourself the time &:effort. You will not be disappointed. I wish we lived closer ...
