Sorino is a small Bring-Your-Own-Wine restaurant serving Italian cuisine located in the heart of plateau, Montreal. Your neighbourhood pasta & pizzeria in a cozy ambiance.
Sorino comes across as a small, cozy Italian spot with a warm intimate vibe and a popular bring your own wine option; the menu features pizza, pasta, and hearty mains with frequent praise for the pizzas and generous portions of pasta, lasagna, and meat or seafood dishes. The service is described as friendly and attentive, though some reviews note slower or less engaged service during busy periods. The space is intimate and can be noisy when crowded, with tables close together, so reservations are strongly suggested on weekends. While many diners rave about quality and flavor, a few critiques mention inconsistent flavor or pizza dough issues and occasional service gaps. Overall, Sorino offers a charming homey atmosphere, reliable Italian comfort food, and good value for BYOW, making it a favored choice for romantic evenings, casual dinners with friends, or family outings.
I really don't understand the negative reviews! Quality food & service & you can bring your own wine! It's a win win! The pizza & lasagna we're great. Would recommend real bacon bits for the Cesar salad though!
Amazing food, catastrophic service. They accepted our reservation for 9:30 om dec 22nd & only got our table ready at 9:50. They made us wait in an appartment hallway & never apologized for the waiting time. We didn't mind all that much, but as soon as 11 pm hit, they opened the neon lights & asked if we wanted boxes while taking our plates off the table even though we clearly weren't done eating. We tried at least finishing our glasses of wine for 5 minutes since they were still half full, but the two servers started blasting a screeching music sound on the speakers while laughing & looking at us from behind the bar. We ended up leaving since we couldn't hear each other speak anymore. The whole end of dinner experience felt very immature from the two servers. I'd love to come back here as the food was great & vibe is super cozy, but please be more respectful towards your clients.
Went here for dinner on our newly wed vacation last month, after getting takeout from here two years prior. Everything was just as delicious as we remembered, incredible pasta & the best 4 cheese pizza ever. Eating at the restaurant made it so much better, it was a lively evening. We sat by the open window as it was mild out. The environment was nice & intimate for us even though it was busy. Facing out the window was great for people watching. Also not used to bring your own wine back home, it was such a great way to enjoy a buzz without breaking the bank. We've been to many wonderful restaurants but my husband & I agree this was the best date night ever.

I Love the food.... Recommend margarita pizza & Fries. Bringing own wine was my favourite part. Waiter was very generous & polite... Must try this with your family & friends
This restaurant is quite unique. It boasts an elegant atmosphere without being pretentious. The decor is modest yet luxurious, enhancing its cozy feel. The menu is extensive & reasonably priced. A pleasant surprise was the generous portion sizes. The ambiance here gives off a vibe similar to your grandma's home, with its decor & warm hospitality. It's not a place where you need to dress up, but one you should visit for its tranquility & hospitality. An added bonus is that you can bring your own wine, making it a perfect spot to gather with loved ones. I highly recommend trying their smoked salmon pasta, black truffle pasta, & pizza.
The server was new & unfamiliar with the menu, requiring us to point out each dish to place our order. Appetizers arrived after 30 minutes, but the main dishes had not been served even after 1 hour & 45 minutes. We had to request a corkscrew & open our bottle of wine ourselves due to a lack of assistance. The servers were generally indifferent & absent. Ultimately, we left before receiving our main dishes. However, based on the appetizers we tried (caprese salad & shrimp scampi), the food was nice.
Went New Year's eve. First time. Service was ok. She didn't go out of her way to make us feel welcomed. We had to ask for wine glasses. Took a while for 2 glasses. Place was quiet when we arrived. 6 patrons max. We ordered, then we were never asked how our meal was. We didn't see her until we asked for the bill. Would I go back? Absolutely! I'll leave it, as her having a bad night.
I'm sorry to say this but, as an Italian who lived in Italy for 26 years & had pizza about a million times, your pizza is not very good & quite overpriced. The crust, in the center where the toppings are, is too thick & the ingredients are not what I would expect to find on a $25 pizza (those black olives in particular). I would also expect to have some blue cheese in the four-cheese pizza. Last night we spent $145 for four people without wine. I rarely spend that much in any restaurant in the Plateau, which normally includes at least two glasses of wine.
Me & my girl have gone to Sorinos for Valentines day & just random nights where we’re craving their spectacular food. Their cute set up makes for an awesome date night but I also took my family & they loved it! My personal favorites to eat are the Sorino Pizza, the steak & their pasta with the truffle oil. We have always had the same waitress & she has always provided amazing service & is so friendly. I recommend if youre visiting MTL or if you & your babes are looking for a delightful wine & dine!
