Sorriso Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Angeles

I am beyond thrilled to review Sorriso Restaurant & Pizzeria because this place truly left me in awe! As someone who has traveled the world and dined at countless restaurants, I can confidently say there is no place like this. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such warmth and hospitality that I felt like a long-lost family member.

The food? Absolutely exquisite. It’s not just food—it’s an experience. I still can’t wrap my head around how authentic and incredible the homemade Italian dishes were. Every bite was a revelation, a testament to the chef’s unparalleled talent and passion.

The lasagna? Easily the best I’ve ever eaten. Layers of perfectly seasoned meat, creamy béchamel, and melt-in-your-mouth pasta came together in flawless harmony. And then there was the truffle pizza—wow. It was so good, I’d say it’s worth the trip to Angeles City on its own. The balance of earthy truffle, gooey cheese, and crispy crust was nothing short of perfection.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. The chef—whom I firmly believe was sent by God himself—has a unique approach to cooking that truly sets this restaurant apart. Every dish reflects his creativity and dedication, leaving you not just satisfied but genuinely happy.

This little gem was recommended to me by a friend, and I can’t thank them enough for pointing me in the right direction. Sorriso deserves all the praise and recognition, and quite frankly, they should be winning awards for what they’re doing here.

If you find yourself in Angeles City—or even if you don’t—make the effort to visit Sorriso Restaurant & Pizzeria. I’ll recommend it over and over again because this is more than just a restaurant; it’s a masterpiece. Please, do yourself a favor and try this place. You’ll...

How lucky we stumbled upon this Authentic family-ran Italian restaurant in Angeles Pampanga. We came here because our dad loves carbonara. They not only exceeded our expectations, we also got to meet Chef Salvatore and his lovely family who helps run the restaurant. I heard they offer a spot to watch the chef cook. I can’t imagine how entertaining it is to watch the chef. He’s definitely born to cook. He uses his family recipes and has served royals! His wife and daughter help run the restaurant and his son is in charge of pastries (and pizzas if I’m remembering correctly). Anyway, don’t take my word for it. Actually go and try their food.

When we ordered our food, I didn’t know the chef so I ordered something Italian restaurants SHOULDN’T screw up - spaghetti bolognese! It was soooo delicious! We ordered family-style so I got to try other things, lasagna, carbonara, a couple different pizzas (their crust was baked to perfection!), beef stew with rice, chocolate lava cake (it was bomb!). Thanks Chef and family! It was pleasant meeting you all. Good luck and I hope you all make it to where you want to be! In the meantime, I hope you have plenty more opportunities to bless others with your delicious cooking...

If you are a fan of family operated restaurants then this is a good candidate.

Carbonara either Pinoy or Italian style. I got the Italian style as my tummy reminisces past experiences... and with peroni beer ( Italian), excellent!

P.s. They put your bottle on an ice bucket. Talk about paying attention to small things...

Ok so the carbonara. Simple. Creamy yet the flavor is light. But wait till you get to the bacon slices. It gives that salt and character to the dish.

The beer, peroni, a very drinkable beer for me. Perfect with pizza. Light flavor and fizzy. Excellent for the pizza that has parma ham and truffle oil. The smell is sublime, almost better than the taste. Don't get me wrong, the taste has an encompassing aroma. The truffle envelopes your breathe followed by the ham. The dough is home made, by the chef's son who is 16 at this time. It's not the best dough but above average..maybe lighter on the crust and I'm positive everyone will eat the crust.

Service is good. Waitress knows the menu and is confident. I enjoyed the experience and food.

Don't be afraid to eat alone. You can talk to the family. They are welcoming and have quite a story.

Quality demands...
