The editorial take
Sorella runs a nine-cocktail list at a flat $15, from the bourbon-forward Sorella Old Fashioned to the rum-heavy Pratt St Mai Tai. The wine program pours by glass, quartino, or bottle across Italy, California, and France. Draft beer leans local with Connecticut options, and a separate zero-proof menu covers Seedlip and Ritual-based drinks. A straightforward, well-priced program that works for groups with varied tastes.
