Soranno's

Five star Quality, Quantity and Service This place is so good I ate most of the meal with my eyes closed as I entered a different ethereal plane of existence, that in order to get there, I had to consume inhuman amount of seafood ravioli. Only part of this is an exaggeration. I've now eaten here twice and each time I have been utterly blown away by the experience. Tony (owner, operator and head chef) provides an experience at Sorrano's you just simply can't get at any other restaurant. Firstly, when you make a reservation he greets you by name, not "7 o'clock". Second, when I called ahead to ask about gluten free options for my girlfriend who's celiac, he informed me that he's recently taken major steps to add gluten free/dairy free options to the menu. Tony makes a point to come over to the table to see first hand how you're enjoying the food.... and let me tell you, you're going to enjoy the food. When I say the portions are huge, I mean they're utterly preposterous. An entree at this restaurant could easily feed 3 adults.... you don't believe me? When we got home we weighted the take out container that had my girlfriends gluten free bolognese in it: it weighted 3.2lbs! Now you're probably thinking "well I bet you paid out of the nose for this" - the answer is no! This restaurant, for all of its clear and distinct advantages, costs no more than any other place on Lakeshore in Port Credit. Name another restaurant in the area where the head chef comes to your table, where the food is so good your very existence is transported from dimension to another, and where you're left so full you can't get up from the table and you need to cart off 3.2lbs of food to take home? Have you ever eaten at a chain restaurant and somewhere in the menu, some corporate big wig had to audacity to write "made from scratch" or "our homemade blah blah blah"? I've worked in big restaurant chains.... they're lying. My guy Tony? Yeah he made the spicy red pepper sauce from scratch, just like everything else... oh and the peppers? Yeah they're grown in his backyard. Now I can't be sure if I'm in a sound state of mind writing this review because I can't tell if I've come down from the high of Sorrano's food, in fact, I know I haven't because we had the bolognese for lunch. But I can say, that if you're not eating at this restaurant you're doing yourself a horrible disservice. If you've made it to the end of this review, I thank you - but more importantly - you should be calmly getting out of your chair, grabbing your coat and your keys, cancelling any appointments you may have, and messaging the group chat to meet you at Sorrano's. Your welcome.

As someone with celiac disease, I was truly amazed by the wonderful gluten-free options at this restaurant. Chef Tony has the ability to prepare all of the pasta dishes using gluten-free ingredients, which is fantastic. The portions you get for the price are incredibly generous. What's even more impressive is that Chef Tony takes the time to personally check in on your dining experience and make sure you're enjoying your meal. And if you're looking for dessert, there are two delicious gelato options that are both gluten-free and dairy-free. This place is an absolute gem for getting outstanding food without breaking the bank. I must say, it's the finest gluten-free pasta I've ever had!
