Sorrento's Pizza & Italian Restaurant - San Marcos, California

I came here for lunch with my 5 month old daughter. Originally from NYC and it’s been so hard to find delicious pizza here in SoCal. This place nailed it! I had a small sausage pizza and it the ratio of all ingredients was perfect.

Plus they were so sweet to my daughter. Highly recommended. Cute little restaurant.

Love the energy of the sisters who own this place, always kind and attentive. This is my go to place for Ravioli and meatballs. The meat sauce is fantastic and the ravs are the best in town. Meatballs are flavorful and juicy every time. Love the garlic bread and always way more than you can eat. The portions are amazing, I always have lunch for the next day. Thank you for another amazing meal.

This small hidden gem services generations of hungry loyal customers.
It's like going over to your favorite aunts house for dinner.
The staff is so welcoming and friendly.
They treat their customers more like family.
I have been lucky enough to have frequented Sorrento's for over 25 years.
When my son graduated from Berkeley, he made a special trip down to celebrate his graduation dinner at Sorrento's.
The food is just as amazing as the lovely ladies that buzz around the restaurant, greeting customers, taking orders, dropping off delicious food , bussing tables, and cashing customers out.

If you're in the mood for a great sandwich, the meatball sandwich is a must.
But seriously, everything is delicious.

Add this place to your list of favorite must eat resturants.

Such an amazing and authentic taste with a family vibe. Great service and cook to order food. You can't go wrong if you want a great Italian meal. I've had their pizza, chicken parmesean, spaghetti and meatball sub. All amazing, however, pizza is my favorite.

We had a great meal here this evening. We came based on recommendations for the lasagna. We were not disappointed. We ordered the lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs. Both meals included a salad and garlic bread. The garlic bread was so fresh, warm and delicious. Plenty of butter and garlic on the toasted bread. The salad was ready and filling. Both the lasagna and spaghetti were tasty.

The service was great. We were greeted immediately and were lucky enough to grab the last open table. Our waitress was very responsive to our needs and gracious. Such a lovely mom and pop place.

Depending on your expectations, you may like this sweeter style of Italian.
We ordered pizza & lasagna for delivery after reading the reviews. We expected this to be a little sweeter, but they must add a LOT of corn syrup or other sweetener to the sauces. It was too much for our family that includes a auger loving 9 year old. The regular pizza crust was unremarkable, but the sauce with the bland dough? Not our style. The cauliflower crust pizza was marginally better. The lasagna though? We threw it away. The sweetness was overpowering to the point that none of us could stomach it.

Again, this is simply not to our taste. It’s worth a try if you like sweet sauces. It was packed with care, hot and fresh, and included salad and garlic bread.

The staff was kind, the meatballs and the salad with blue cheese was good. That's all I have nice to say. The sauce was ridiculously sweet, even my kid said it was too sweet for them. Not good. The pizza tasted like sweet cardboard. Nothing at all authentic about this food. We drove out of our way to try this restaurant based on the high review score and we were all very disappointed by the food. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

50 years in the same place should tell you all you need to know, but if not... the sauce!! The sauce is spectacular. Italian food prepared and served by grandma herself. Don't think about it, just go! We had it all, and we can't wait to go back again.
