La Sorrentina Italian Restaurant 72 High Street, Ascot SL5 9NN

"Celebrated my wife's significant birthday with Adriano and his team. Everything was perfect from the delicious food, to the service which was the right blend of friendly, informal yet efficient and attentive. I would have no hesitation in recommending anybody to visit and enjoy a little bit of Italy in Sunninghill. Bravo!"

"The best restaurant I have ever been to. The service is at the highest level and the food will bring great pleasure to your receptors. Lasagna was extremely delicious, and Tiramisu is as sweet and quite gentle. The owner of the restaurant, Adriano, is positive and friendly. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I'll be back!)"

"I came because of nice reviews, and it was nice, I ordered the pasta carbonara and ravioli. The ravioli were very very nice, the carbonara was nice but unfortunately an hour later my boyfriend (who ordered the carbonara) had a terrible diarrhoea… I had some tiramisu and my boyfriend ice-cream. I assume that he had the bad tummy as carbonara was made with cream and egg and maybe was not cooked properly. I will recommend the place as I liked it, but chef may need to pay attention to that."

"Visited May2022 as part of a corporate bash. La Sorrentina is an amazing place. A functional, slightly battered outside, with a front door that opens to the side of the building, the interior is small and cozy, yet accommodates quite a few people, resutling in a bright, lively and noisy environment. The menu is modest, with attention to the major bits that we English believe is the standard Italiian offering (anti-pasta, pasta, pizza, risotto, etc). The staff are amazing. A family own and run the place. They are the chefs, the waitstaff and the entertainers. The pace of service is really quick, with no hesitation, little reptition and occasional deviation from the menu at the customer's request. The food is cooked to absolute, sublime perfection. Pasta that is truly al dente. The flavours are strong and deep, with a particular interest in garlic. The spaghetti is particularly good, tossed in garlic oil and chilli oil (I think). The tagliatelle al pollo blends dozens of flavours and textures into a warm satisfying bowl of heaven (the sauce is basically an intensely-flavoured bisque, it is amazing). The bistecca arrives medium-rare, half-dressed in a deep, flavoursome gravy. The risottos balance texture and flavour. The food demonstrates the truism that excelling at the basics, dismissing vainglorious frivolity, is the way forward. The wine list appears to have been calibrated within nanometers of the menu and cooking style. On this occasion, every wine on this particular corporate table had its own distinct flavour and it met all of the strongly-flavoured foods on the table. By contrast to the main courses, the tiramusi is light and delicate, yet still carries flavours (even after all of the garlic of the main courses). A great place."

"Amazing Food, Beautiful Atmosphere. Genuinely good vibes, staff were so amicable and provided top quality service and food. Presentation was impeccable, and the Tiramisu melted in the mouth. Loved it, recommend 10/10!!"
