Fresh Homemade Pasta
All of our pasta is made fresh in our kitchen by one of our talented chefs.
At Piazza Sorrento, the freshness of all our ingredients is paramount, but none more so than our pasta.
We use simply flour and water (and a single egg per batch) to make our fresh pastas, such as Spaghetti, Linguini, Fettuccine, and Penne.
The soft texture and tenderness of fresh pasta absorbs the full flavor of the sauces and spices.
This creates many extraordinary dishes with memorable taste sensations for you to enjoy.
This season Piazza Sorrento is making from scratch :
Spaghetti, Linguini, Fettuccini, Penne, Lasagna, Ravioli, Gnocchi and more
(Due to Covid we have temporarily limited our Pasta Selection. Favorites such as Pappardelle and Cannelloni will be back soon)

Fresh Homemade Mozzarella
We at Piazza Sorrento are proud to say that we also make our Mozzarella cheese in house.
A staple ingredient in our dishes, fresh mozzarella cheese is made with two ingredients: hot salted water and fresh mozzarella curd.
Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy and the process of making mozzarella is called pasta filata.
The curds are heated in salted water until they form strings and become elastic in texture. The curds are stretched, kneaded until smooth,
and then formed into round balls to make fresh mozzarella cheese. It is actually best when eaten within hours of its making.
Well prepared fresh mozzarella is milky, tender, and mild, with a faint layer of cream beneath the skin that gushes a little when you slice it.
