Such nice vibes! Food is 🔥

What a delightful and comfortable place! The visual presentation is wonderful—pastries and coffee are arranged beautifully, and the food is displayed so you can see your options. They even have a gelato counter with samples. The wine selection was a hit with my friends. We'll definitely be back and try the beautiful outdoor setting.

A lovely experience overall. It almost reminds me of my travels in Italy. Though it can get a bit crowded, particularly on weekends, the vibrance of this simple, but elegant little restaurant makes up for it. I can definitely see myself coming back often, particularly because of the wide range of vegetarian options.

Awesome place with great food

Nothing like it in suburbs. Many will say "authentic" but this place lives it.

Love this place. We just discovered it.

Absolutely love this charming Italian café! The pastries are divine, and the coffee is rich and aromatic—perfect for any time of day. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the food is nothing short of incredible. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, with a beautifully decorated interior that makes you feel like you’re dining in Italy itself. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, delicious experience!

We had a great experience with food and customer service. They offer delicious food (Ossobuco and all other dishes were excelent), great atmosphere, and good prices. Cannot wait to go back.

Awesome place. Friendly owners and it's always busy because the mode is amazing. The atmosphere inside looks great too! Also, you can buy wine from different areas of Italy as well.

Delicious authentic Italian food served in a charming atmosphere.

An excellent experience

Beautiful selection of pastries, coffee and espresso, gelato, pasta and sandwiches. Italian wines and limoncello. Great indoor vibe with outdoor patio seating too!

Delicious croissants and great coffee, highly recommend!

This place is adorable and a beautiful aesthetic. The food is incredible!

I visited Sorelle with friends last week. The place was very clean, and I loved the ambiance. The melanzana panino and pistachio panna cotta were both out of this world and reasonably priced. It's a must-try place in Long Grove.

Hana is amazing! The food is incredible! Truly, authentic Italian from scratch! Nothing like Italian hospitality 🙂

Some o

Best Italian food I’ve ever had!

Amazing food had the panino and the arancini. Everyone was very kind and accommodating. Really comfy interior design, but it’s definitely small inside so get there early to get a seat

Nice place , I like how they have the food desplayed so you see what you get

This is such a cute and unique place! The menu offers a variety of authentic Italian dishes at a price point that allows you to try multiple dishes. We had arancini, a panino, a slice of pizza, and Nutella croissant. Everything was delicious but that croissant was what dreams are made of! After dinner, we enjoyed the vibe so much, we got a couple of glasses of wine and hung out on the couches. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting and staff was really friendly. Can’t wait to come back and try new things!

Absolutely one of the best food places in the area. Lots of options. They have big selection of wines. Coffee is just sooo great and cheap! Pastry so delicious and fresh (my personal favorite is pistachios croissant) Food quality is TOP! Even if they so busy is worth it to wait! I don’t know why some people here complaining about wait time 25 min to get their food especially on the weekends. Go to McDonald’s and wait the same amount of time and junk food. To me it’s pretty fast especially if you getting homemade delicious food ! Highly recommend!!! Keep it up guys!

Adorable place. You order your food and find a seat. They'll bring your food out to you. There can be long lines but it's worth the wait.

Excellent everything!!!

5 stars for the food! Sunday however is so packed that you really have to be determined to go eat there. It's a great sign just be prepared.

The place is a dream! Some of the best espresso I've had, and I hear they have live music some nights Vegetarian options: Live menu, everything made to order. Owners original recipes

Sorelle Italian Market saved our Valentine’s Day dinner! We ordered online, and for some reason the delivery service didn’t pick up our order. George, one of the owners, braved the snow, and not only personally delivered our food, but included a rose for our table, chocolate cake, and a wonderful bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal, which was delicious! Huge thank you to George and the staff at Sorelle! We will definitely be dining with you often.

Yummy!

this place is amazing. i tried it for the first time yesterday, and everything i had was delicious. not only that, but as someone with a very sensitive stomach i had zero issues. the ingredients are really clean. i can’t wait to come back.

So we were at Sorrell‘s yesterday and, after taking a few bites, my wife’s eyes brightened. She looked up and said to me with a smile, “This reminds me of when I used to like food!” Well thought out and executed recipes, quality ingredients, and the food comes out hot, hot, hot! The owners and manager are present, attentive to customers and supportive of their well trained staff. The garden-like decor inside is a special treat which does a wonderful job of keeping the sound level in check so you can actually carry out a conversation. Love this place!

Can't say about service or atmosphere, but was brought a box of croissants. Never had anything more tastier Not a fan of anything creme,the pistachio filling was heavenly tasty

Our new favorite spot! If you love Italy, you will love Sorelle! You can tell every detail of this place is so well thought out - from the branding to the decor. We were very impressed when we walked in, I loved that all the dishes were displayed so you knew what to order, everyone was very friendly and while we waited for the food (super quick by the way!) I was hoping the food matched the vibe and OMG we were not disappointed. Everything we had was sooo good - the Arancini, conto panino, minestrone soup, gelato, espresso, the Nutella croissant (OMG AMAZING!), and my sister got a bunch of desserts to take home and try and she said they were all amazing. I really appreciated too at the end of the meal how someone came by and asked how everything was and thanked us for coming in. That level of service you expect at a fine dining restaurant so was a nice and unexpected touch that just made you feel good. Highly recommend trying this place out and supporting! We will definitely be back to try more.

Omg! This is my favorite place now! Food is tasty, very fast service, pastries are just amazing! And coffee… so so good! Highly recommend!

The food was extremely good and felt very authentic. They have a wide variety of selections and delicious coffees as well. Shout out to nick for having a great recommendation for coffee.

This place was amazing. Great vibes! Owners were super nice! Love it all. Will be back for sure!

This place feels just like Italy! Love the ambiance, and the food is always on point!

From the first time I tried the pistachio croissant and their oat milk latte, I knew Sorelle was going to be my go to café. If I could, I would start my day there every morning. You can’t go wrong with whatever you decide to order. They now serve breakfast, lunch and dinner which is divine! The overall experience is 5 stars- the food/drink, friendly staff and beautiful ambience is something we have been missing in our area. Glad Sorelle chose Long Grove! Great work to the owners! 💕

The place is beautiful. The food is delicious you have to go. Gelato OMG!!!!!! Thank you

This Italian café is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is super cute, warm, and cozy—perfect for a relaxing meal or coffee break. The décor has a charming European touch, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Italy. The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that truly stand out. Whether you're here for a quick espresso, a hearty pasta dish, or a sweet treat, everything is made with care and tastes amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy and delightful dining experience!

A lovely little restaurant in Long Grove! The decor and ambiance alone were worth going for, but the food was fantastic. Both the desserts and entrees were incredible down to the last bite, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Definitely a place I'll be returning to!

Fresh! Authentic! A slice of heaven (Italy!)…followed by a piece of heaven for dessert! Food, service, staff, excellent! Vegetarian options: Pastas, salads, paninis, pizza, include veggie friendly choices Kid-friendliness: Food that appeals to little ones, simple friendly atmosphere

We came for dinner on their first night serving dinner hours. Our favorites were the Shrimp Scampi, Cheese Ravioli in vodka sauce, Pear Arugala Salad, and Minestrone Soup. We also loved the sangria and wine. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the service and atmosphere were amazing! We will definitely be back.

Amazing! What a little hidden gem! One of the best cappuccinos I’ve had. Great selection of food, and the place is so cute. You can order single arancini’s — so good!

Love sorelle! Great food & nice atmosphere. The best pistachio croissant ever! Their zeppole are amazing

Very impressed by the food here ! Ordered both sweet and savory items and they were all extremely tasty, very affordable, and tasted SO fresh. Can't wait to come back! 🙂

Really nice place!

Met up with a friend for espresso and a bite to eat, and this place absolutely blew me away. I haven't had Bolognese this amazing and light since I was a kid!! The espresso was bitter, just how I like it, and the Limoncello Spritz was refreshing. I will be back to try their other menu items. This spot made my day!

The best place I’ve been lately to. Very cozy dining area. Food is just so delicious 🤤 Gosh, i had such a blast there! Kid-friendliness: We were there with 2 toddlers and 1 infant. Did so much mess🫣 But owner/manager was so kind, no one said a word.

Everything is perfect, but the pistachio croissant is another league! a must have!!! One of the best italian places around Chicago! Best pistachio by far!

My sister brought me a pistachio croissant from here. I can be a real snob about croissants and don’t love pistachio flavored things, but she said this is what people recommended. It was one of the best pastries I’ve eaten in my life!! I can’t wait to go into the cafe and try more.

My wife and I split a Pantone French toast, an almond croissant and a pistachio croissant. All of which was perfect. The workers were super friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to have another quiet breakfast at Sorelle again!

I love coming to this place! The staff is very polite, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is delightful!

What a hidden treasure Will be back soon to dine in and taste more delicious food.

Wow! I fell in love the second I stepped foot into Sorelle. I feel so lucky to have such a unique cafe so close to home. The staff is so accommodating and very friendly. I got to taste some gelato while I waited for my food (5-10 min wait) depending on what you get. The atmosphere is incredible. Makes me wanna book a ticket to Italy tomorrow. Highly recommended 10/10.

The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. We had lunch there and it was cozy and nice.

Sorelle is located in the old Smokin' T's Barbecue spot next the the LZ JCC. There is plenty of parking around the location, so no need to worry if you're grabbing a coffee and pastry, meeting co-workers and friends or staying for dinner (starting around January 8, 2025). I've driven by several times and seen the place, but never had a chance to stop in, so when a friend reached out to meet there, I was all in. When you walk in, they immediately greet you with a Bon Jour and welcome you to Sorelle. I ordered their peppermint mocha latte with oatmilk, and it was probably the best I've had. It's not overpowering and you can actually taste the peppermint, mocha, and the creaminess of the oatmilk and latte mix. They foamed it up with a nice heart. I paired that with their Nutella croissant and, HOLY COW!, that's fantastic. The croissant was equally flaky, buttery, and chocolate hazelnut flavored that when I visited again a few days later, I ordered the same damn things. They have great looking sandwiches and pizza that I can't wait to go back and try. My friends got to know the co-owner, George, and I'm happy I met him too. He's a very nice guy who mingles with the customers and is there to help make their visit comfortable and pleasant. He brought our table a couple plates of mussels (I'm not a fan of mussels period) and some Italian bread and I dipped it in the sauce and it was extremely delicious. So if you like mussels, you gotta try them and don't forget to dip the bread. The layout is like a coffee shop, but nicely decorated, with different sized tables and comfortable chairs. And only in front of the place are shelves with wares to sell. They're not in your face about buying logoed stuff. This is such a great location. And I hope it doesn't become a den of at home workers dominating all the tables, but a place to meet friends and co-workers, grab a drink (hot, cold, or wine) and share some lite bites, pastries, and soon, dinner. And they make everything in-house. When you stop in, say hello to George as he's happy you're there. My new go to coffee shop and more.

I love, love coming here! The staff is so incredible. For just opening they have a really smooth operation. The food is great and ready fast! The lattes are my favorite thing. And let’s talk about the ambiance ! Wow the decor, and live music they have sometimes. Long grove definitely needed this and I am so happy it’s so close by to me

Unbelievably super delicious Italian food! The atmosphere is fantastic and there’s plenty of seating. And plenty of parking.
