Sorella

Originally opened as The Manor, Robin and Sarah Gill’s second restaurant followed the hugely successful The Dairy in Clapham Common (now relocated to Bermondsey), which itself was followed by Counter Culture, an intimate counter-dining experience and deli next door. The Manor was later renamed Sorella and has been popular with locals and visitors from further afield ever since.

Sorella’s interior is airy and with a relaxed feel, helped by the exposed brick, draped plants and colourful crockery. As with The Dairy, it promises ‘bistronomy’-style dining, rooted in classical cooking but with an unfussy style of service and ambience.

The menu here has a distinctly Italian character when compared to Gill’s other venues. House-cured Italian-style charcuterie – think coppa and bresaola made with high-welfare British meat – and bread are part of an antipasti section. Plates of pastas are offered as starters in Italian style, with grilled fish, meat and game making up a selection of larger secondi piatti.
