Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Sorella Ristorante Italiano pairs its kitchen with a straightforward beverage program: a full cocktail bar is advertised, beers span domestic, craft, imported, and IPA labels, and the non-alcoholic side is notably extensive. Prices stay moderate across the board. The beer list and the specialty sodas give the most to work with, while cocktails remain an unproven quantity.
- What should I order?
- If you want a beer, the IPA tier at $9.00 includes Lagunitas IPA and Firestone IPA, which offer more character than the domestic options. For a non-alcoholic route, the Shirley Temple or Roy Rogers at $5.99 includes one refill, a practical value.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate a straightforward beer selection with familiar choices will find what they need. Families and those avoiding alcohol get an unusually deep non-alcoholic menu, including Italian cherry cream soda and root beer float. Cocktail enthusiasts may want to manage expectations until more specifics emerge.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Beer prices range from $6.99 for domestic to $9.00 for IPAs. Non-alcoholic drinks run $4.85 for coffee or tea up to $8.55 for San Pellegrino; Shirley Temple or Roy Rogers cost $5.99 with one refill.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage program stands out for its non-alcoholic range: lemonade, sodas, Arnold Palmer, San Pellegrino, coffee, iced and hot tea, milk, Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers, strawberry lemonade, root beer float, and Italian cherry cream soda. Beer is organized into clear price tiers, and a full cocktail bar is advertised.
