The Sorella Experience

We're moving away from the starter and main course type format, and we're introducing more of a concept where people enjoy a more social dining experience with us.

We want this to be different - not just great food and drinks. As much as anything, we're going to look after you. And that whole experience, a social dining experience, will be something which you and your friends will really enjoy, socially!

Yeah, okay, we are there to explain a menu to you, to advise you on what we like, what the chefs like, and equally you might completely ignore us and go, we're just having this, and that’s cool. We will make sure that your experience with us is one of where you’re cared for and looked after and well fed and watered, and just immediately want to rebook, come back and introduce it to the rest of your family and friends.

Upstairs, we’ve redesigned the space, with an open kitchen & imported Italian stone baked Pizza oven, to create a fully engaging restaurant, seating up to 32. The experience continues downstairs with high tables and bar, where you can still get exceptional food, in a slightly less formal environment, with less of a need to book. And there’s even an outdoor terrace now to enjoy those warm summers evenings.

Our Pizzas - stone baked heaven

Our Neapolitan Pizzas are just amazing - thin based pizza, as opposed to something from Chicago which is more of a very heavy sourdough type base. Neapolitan is a thin pizza meant to be eaten very quickly, as soon as it comes out of the pizza oven, its dressed and straight to your table. It's not meant to eat with a knife and fork; just cut it up, fold it and then eat it. It's just the best pizza.. They're the ones that you're like, you keep putting in, and you know you should stop. But you can't because it's sat on the plate and you're like, I need to eat all of that.

Our Small Plates - made for sharing

So that's a pizza side of things, and then there are small plates too. It will be a regularly changing seasonal menu, which the house staff as will advise you on. They’ll let you know what’s on the menu; our favourites; the chef’s favourite, and you can choose a selection from there. Then bring them as soon as they're ready, for you to enjoy, socially ;-) There are Sorella arancinis, homemade focaccias parma hams and aged balsamics. There are some incredible Italian cheeses out there too, so there's a blend of things imported from Italy, and also sourced from local producers developed over the years with Two Sisters.

Our Drinks - not the usual

In terms of drinks, the Sorella team has worked with Wrights Wine over the road, and together we’ve curated a selection of wines, beers and cocktails you won’t see anywhere else. Wines which complement the food; cocktails which turn heads; and also a choice of beers with plenty of flavour. And as with the menu, these will be constantly evolving and changing with the seasons, and as we evolve too.

Our place is your place

From the outset, the vision for Sorella was to be a great place to come to relax & enjoy and actually a great place to work too. A beautiful old sandstone building, which needed restoring to some of its former glory inside and out, improving the flow and style, which truly complimented the social dining atmosphere at Sorella.

Upstairs - Open Kitchen & Restaurant

There's now a large open kitchen, and restaurant dining area, with the kitchen forming part of the atmosphere and energy of the dining experience upstairs, which literally feeds the whole building. Social yet intimate. And through the design of the space, the finishes and the lighting, you really feel that atmosphere.

Downstairs - Restaurant & Bar

With high tables and seating, where you can share the same amazing food, drinks and service, and if you’ve not been able to book upstairs, the team will do their best to squeeze you in down here. It’s not to shabby to be fair!

Outdoor Terrace - for the warmer days

The outside terrace is a totally new addition to the site, and those of you who know Skipton well, will know that it is a real sun trap. There will be a limited food menu available outside in the summer, but it will be sure to have a bouncy summer vibe as soon as the nights start to get lighter.

Our Promise

We love Skipton, and we love everything we do at Two Sisters, and now Sorella. We’re passionate about hospitality and giving our customers something different and something special. Sorella will be something different again, but with the same values and commitment to delivering amazing experience.

There’s a buzz in town about what ‘s happening at Sorella, so come down and give us a try. Our job is to look after you and give you an experience that you'll never forget and you’ll book again and again and again. We promise great food, amazing drinks and a Social dining experience to match. See you soon.
