What locals are saying
Sorelle is widely regarded as one of Charleston's most exciting Italian openings in years — notoriously hard to get into and backed by Michelin recognition — with handmade pastas like the 'Pillows of Gold' tortellini and swordfish piccata earning devoted fans among locals. The Post and Courier's early review flagged loud pacing, overly fussy plates, and a screaming-hot chef's table, but a follow-up two years later found the kitchen and dining room had matured meaningfully: quieter room, tighter menu, more confident execution. Some diners still flag value concerns on smaller plates (e.g., a half-dozen tuna crudo slices at $28) and a reservation system that creates friction before the meal even starts.
