Calgary | Sorella Trattoria 🌿 | Hidden Gem Restaurant

Another perfect spot for a cute girls’ date and photo ops! The vibe is clean and cozy, offering family-style dishes that are simple but totally Insta-worthy 📸. The weather has been incredible these days, and we were soaking up the sun at lunch. The sunlight poured in, making the whole place bright and airy, adding to the lovely atmosphere. The plates may look small, but the portions are perfect for sharing. 🍽️ 🐙 Polpo: Grilled octopus with fried chili and olives (not too spicy). Though I don’t eat much spicy food, I brushed off the peppers. It’s a popular dish based on reviews, but I found it just okay. The octopus itself was tender, but lacked seasoning, just a light sprinkle of salt before grilling. If you love well-seasoned dishes, maybe skip this one. If you’re all about soft, tender octopus, then go for it! ⭕️ 🥦 Broccoletti: Roasted with Roman chili sauce, chili honey, and crushed almonds. This was salty, crispy, and packed with flavor! I liked it better than the octopus. 🌶️ The chili had a bit of heat (which you can easily avoid), but it was a nice balance to the richness of the other dishes. Definitely recommend trying this one! ✅ 🍝 Pappardelle: My favorite wide pasta, served with a classic pork and beef ragu, mascarpone, and topped with Grana Padano cheese. Loved this dish—the pasta had a great chewy texture, and the ragu was rich without being too heavy. You can tell they use fresh pasta. Highly recommend! ✅ Though we enjoyed it, it’s a pretty big portion for two girls with smaller appetites—we had to pack some to go! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much since the reviews on different platforms were mixed, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It’s a lovely spot to chill, chat, and snap some cute photos without disappointment. #Calgary #CalgaryEats #CalgaryLife #CalgaryFoodie #BrunchSpot #VibeRestaurant #FoodieAdventures
