Our Reviews

One of the go to places for lunch & work. Good food, pastries and delicious coffee! Can't wait to also check out their new location.

Great food and service!

Everything weve tried here is at least 'good' most is excellent. The arancini are insanely tasty and perfectly done. Prices are incredible for the quality of the food. Way better selection and variety compared to most 'Italian cafes'.

One of the best things to happen to our neighborhood. A beautiful slice of Italy in the burbs. The drink and food options are so tasty and the service is so quick.

The inside is adorable and the food is fresh. The breakfast menu is mostly pastries but the lunch and dinner menu are full of pasta and sandwiches and other options. My favorite thing is the gelato and filled on order cannolis.

Love fresh pastries! Amazing!

Perfect spot with authentic italian food - and a variety of it! Everything is delicious and the cream in the desserts options are SO good. A must go to if you haven’t been and a got to spot for many.

Overall, an excellent experience. When we walked in, the manager immediately greeted us and gave recommendations on the menu. The staff was very friendly, and even though the inside area was set up more like a casual style restaurant, they offered to take our plates and asked us how the food was. Food was very good, with large portions for an absurdly cheap price. We had the Rigatoni with chicken and the Minestrone Soup, both of which were excellent. Also, we ended our meal with a Gelato, which was graciously on the house. The interior decor was quite nice, but it got a little loud inside the eating area, especially with a singer. Overall, the main draw is the very solid food for an incredible price.

Great place.

What an absolutely awesome place! This lovely couple have bought a touch of Italy to Long Grove. Food is authentic and delicious, the pricing is so reasonable and the atmosphere is just what you would expect in a little cafe in Italy. 😋😍

Good food.But the best food is the crossiants

Awesome place! Definitely recommended

Absolutely love this place! The food, the drinks, the atmosphere!! We love doing friends hang outs here! It's kid friendly and everyone is so kind!!

Amazing Italian food!! Great for dining in or picking up!! Beautifully decorated!! Good for a snack like affogato or Apple turnover or a super filling meal and everything so far has been great!! I lovee Sorelle!!

Light, crispy decadent pastries freshly made daily.

Great Italian food selection 👌

We stopped by for a breakfast. I had a double espresso and a Nutella croissant just like when I am in Italy (un caffè doppio e un coronetta con nutella). Service was quick and friendly and the space was great. I can't wait to come back for a full meal.

Stopped in for the first time today. Morning crew was awesome, great energy and super friendly. Tried a few things but the cherry croissant was amazing. Highly recommend

Sorelle has a very pleasant atmosphere, with holiday music and decorations creating the mood. I liked seeing the food items displayed to help with the selection. Tasty food, good portions. Nice staff and an incredibly kind manager who makes sure the customers leave happy.

A friend invited me here for brunch, and we honestly didn’t even know this place existed. The food was amazing and the menu had so many great options… we’re already talking about what we want to try next time!! What really stood out, though, was the service. After years in the restaurant industry, it takes a lot to truly impress me, but the woman taking care of the dining area was so kind and thoughtful. When we told her it was our first time, she explained how everything worked and later surprised us with mini cannolis and a warm welcome back. She kept our coffee full and made us feel genuinely cared for. It meant more than she probably knows, especially since my friend had gotten some bad news earlier that day. That kindness really changed the tone of our morning. We’ll absolutely be back. We didn’t catch your name, but thank you so much ❤️

Exelente comida y muy buen ambiente familiar, el postre increíble.

Sorelle Italian Restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and authentically Italian. The food is outstanding—fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked pasta, and rich, flavorful sauces that clearly show attention to detail and tradition. The service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive, making the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, Sorelle delivers quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Italian cuisine done right. 🇮🇹🍝

On December 6, 2025 I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend’s birthday. Lucia Carmel Priola and staff made our celebration a memorable occasion. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. The cannolis were the best, the best I ever had!!! Everything on the menu is always made to perfection. Try the mussels.

I was at Sorelle on Saturday night celebrating my birthday with 2 of my good friends. The food was absolutely delicious the atmosphere was perfect. Lucia who does the catering and event manager made my birthday extra special by bringing us the most delicious cannoli's. She was so friendly and kept coming over to our table talking to us. Sorelle is located in Long Grove and they just opened their second restaurant in Glenview.

I enjoy coming here; the food is delicious, and the employees are very friendly.

Amazing find! Excellent service and even more so delicious food! The restaurant has such a cute design to it, you get transported. Loved it and will absolutely return, many options to choose from.

Lovely small intimate restaurant with good food, nice people & lots of wine selection!

I really like this place, one of the best in Illinois. Price and quality are wonderful 👍👍👍

Just found out about this adorable boutique Italian Cafe from a friend last week and it's definitely a 5 star experience from start to finish. There are so many options here with regards to a light lunch, pasta dinner or tempting Italian style cannoli, Panna cotta, croissants you may be hard pressed to make up your mind on what to choose. This past Sunday I came here with a good friend of mine and chose the extremely delicious margarita pizza 🍕 which is served as a generous thick slice of bread with tomatoes 🍅 and sauce and also had an iced latte. Today I am here by myself enjoying the happy vibes. I chose a truly yummy Arancini Rice ball with Sicilian meat sauce inside. It's buttery 🧈 and melty and delectable. The outside has a crunchy and crisp texture and the inside portion of rice 🍚 and bolognese...sauce so tasty and melty with cheese dripping off your fork. I am now enjoying a house made Gelato half chocolate and half espresso 😋 This place has been packed on both visits and the Cafe is not just a coffee bar and a wonderful restaurant that serves authentic tasting Italian cuisine. I highly recommend this cute bistro If you're looking for a fun and lively spot to hang out with your friends and family for the holidays.

Came with my wife and daughter Saturday evening for dinner. We were greeted by the manager Don and he talked us through the menu and suggested the Osso Buco, which my wife and I both ordered. It was absolutely amazing. I was very impressed with how quickly our food came out even though they were busy. We will definitely come back!

Lovely place and great quality food. Wonderful decor, a bit too loud during brunch hour, but that's okay, I guess. Maybe it gets quiter at other times. Paid $16 for spinach egg bites, plain croissant and coffee! Can't beat that price!

A really lovely little Italian spot! The menu isn’t huge, but everything they offer is fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced. One thing I really love is that when you walk in, you can actually see the dishes displayed — it helps so much to choose what you want, and it gives the place a very authentic, home-style feeling. The service is always friendly and welcoming. We visited Italy recently, and this place truly reminded us of those cozy, simple restaurants where the food speaks for itself. Great value, great flavors, and a warm atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Great spot, very nice to have in the neighborhood. Super charming inside and the people work hard you can tell. Also, can’t beat the prices

A little touch of Italy!

Wonderful spot! My fiance and I had our engagement dinner here and it was magical! Lucia especially was awesome in getting everything organized and prepared for a great night. Food was amazing, atmosphere is great, and experience was unforgettable. Definitely will be back!

My fiance and I had an engagement here with both of our families and we had an amazing experience! They easily accommodated for a larger group and clearly communicated with us before the dinner to ensure they were prepared with everything we wanted. The staff was so welcoming and attentive when we arrived. They made us feel so special and even surprised us with a card signed by the staff and a congratulatory dessert. The atmosphere was beautiful and the food was amazing! Our whole group did not have enough great things to say about the experience. Would highly recommend!

The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked in, and the food was delicious. The desserts and coffee were excellent. The manager was kind enough to give us a little peek into the pastry kitchen where everything is made from scratch. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Awesome pasta and lively atmosphere. Highly recommend! We will be going back again soon.

Food is great, all home made. The best pistachio crousant I ever had

This gem of a spot is a gift to Lake County. Tonight, our book club went to enjoy the ambiance while engaging in our discussion. There was live entertainment soothing patrons in the background with his melodic vocals. We all had a few bites and meals to share which were delicious. The desserts were picturesque and scrumptious.The service was phenomenal... the manager checked on how we liked our books and our meals. We all cannot wait to return. This setting has something for everyone.

It was a pleasant surprise not what I expected. The atmosphere was great and the decorations made it a great experience. The food was walk up and order, but it was brought to you by a server.

Such a wonderfully relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Great options for pizza, panini, pastry and coffee. We love the drinks, gelato, pasta and cannoli. Pistachio croissant is also a must try.

Worth visiting!

Absolutely loved this spot! The pistachio croissant was hands down the best I’ve ever had—flaky, rich, and perfectly balanced in flavor. Plus, the place itself is super cute, cozy, and welcoming—perfect for a sweet break or a coffee catch-up. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Just excellent!!!! Food was delicious! Great ambience, relaxed and informal, very pleasant!! We cannot wait to go back

This adorable Italian restaurant has so many fabulous breakfast options, but on this morning I decided to go with the Egg Bites and they were absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend you try them if you have a chance to. They also have homemade gelato 🍧 and sorbet, that I cannot wait to try because it looks amazing 🤩.

Thanks guys, it's a real cool latte in the neighborhood and a delicious croissant with ham and arugula!

A fun new option with great food & quick preparation. Got some yummies to go as well.

This Italian market is truly a hidden gem. Everything is made fresh right in front of you, and all the ingredients are imported straight from Italy—you can taste the difference.The pistachio cream croissant was a standout: perfectly light, flaky, and had just the right amount of crunch. We also tried the pistachio cannoli, and it was absolutely amazing—crispy shell, smooth filling, and just the right level of sweetness.We had a cortado and a latte as well, and both were made with some of the best espresso I’ve ever had—smooth, rich, and full of flavor.The margherita and fungi pizza squares were equally impressive. The crust was light and crispy, with just the right amount of sauce (not too much, which I always appreciate). Each bite was full of authentic flavor without feeling heavy.I honestly can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend to anyone who loves fresh, high-quality Italian food!

We have been enjoying this delicious precious gem since they opened!!Today was a special birthday lunch!! As always food was delicious,servers were great,Scott was on point and everyone had a wonderful time!!! If you close your eyes the taste of Italy fills your senses!! All your hard work,creativity,delicious food, beautiful atmosphere and kind and thoughtful staff make it our very favorite little spot!!! Thank you!!

Great baked goods and authentic Italian style cuisine (sandwiches/paninis, pizza, desserts). Coffee and espresso are quite good. VERY good hospitality. Cafe style dining area with seating inside and outside.

Had a great lunch at Sorelle in Long Grove. Loved the Caprese salad, Cotto sandwich, and cheese ravioli with vodka sauce—everything was super fresh and flavorful. We split a bread pudding and an affogato for dessert, both excellent. Busy spot with counter service and a really good vibe. Will definitely be back.

So glad to have a gem like this in the suburbs. Excellent! My wife grew up with a lot of Sicilians in New York but has struggled to find authentic food and pastries in Chicagoland until Sorelle. Bravo

What a fun and delicious place to eat. Was there for lunch. Nice portions for the price. Took home some cannolis for after dinner and WOW! As I was leaving I saw a bowl of mussels being served for dinner and will be going back to try them out.When the place was full at lunchtime it was a bit loud, just an FYI for those of you who are going for some great food and talking.

I liked everything.

Good food and service. Love it here!

The food is absolutely delicious and tastes like it’s of the highest of quality. I have yet to try something at Sorelle that I don’t enjoy! The staff is kind and courteous, and everyone seems to enjoy their job. I can come here with kids, with girlfriends or with my husband and it’s appropriate for each type of gathering. The decor is super cute and makes you feel like you’re dining in the lemon trees of Italy! From coffee to wine, pastries to sandwiches, gelato to pasta — you can’t go wrong! We go regularly and have enjoyed breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert at Sorelle.

I visited Sorelle for the first time last weekend. I came with my mom who has brain cancer and therefore has mobility issues. From the moment we walked in, we felt so taken care of by the team. A man who I assume was the owner or at least the manager on duty that day was so accommodating and kind, telling my mom how fierce she is and allowing us to sit and place or order at our table instead of waiting at the counter. He also helped her up at the end of our meal and helped me pick out a bottle of wine for a friend.The cafe is so cute and charming, every team member we encountered was pleasant and helpful, and the food was delicious! We already are making plans to come back with more family and friends as this is clearly a business worth supporting.

Absolutely Delicious!!

Amazing food and atmosphere!!
