My husband and I recently discovered this restaurant and we loved it. Great Italian food in a nice atmosphere. The owner was walking around talking to and seating customers and he asked us how our dinner was. It really shows that he cares about customers. We had a appetizer, a chicken entree, pork chop entree, and a dessert for about... More

My wife and I tried Sortino's this evening. The meal was excellent! Good quality and good presentation. The owner and staff are very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back for more. I would highly recommend this great Italian restaurant.

My parents and I just had the best meal we've had in a long time...found Sortino's just by searching "restaurants in Sandusky" and drove about 55 miles to try it out. The atmosphere is great, the service was wonderful and the food was OUTSTANDING! My father is Italian and hard to please and, after the almost hour drive home and... More

This place is excellent for authentic Italian. Like most of the reviews have said--appetizer, entree, salad, bread and wine portions are fit for royalty. No shortcuts--my pasta dish had more Italian olives than the entree cost. The house wine on the table is pour your own and it suits fine for $5/glass. Sortino comes over to talk to us each... More

So much taste and character in this Italian restaurant. Come as you are from America's Roller Coast at Cedar Point, but maybe you need a reservation- capiche?? The special with linguine and Italian bacon had great flavor, meatballs and sauce light and tasty. What a jewell. Tiramisu was elegant and good cannoli too. Glad to be steered here.

This place is over the top. The food is amazing, atmosphere is great. The owner of the restaurant was in while we dined and went around convsating with guests and it seemed every was enjoying their meal and having good conversation. Meal portions are beyond filling and you MUST try the canoles.

Totally loved the place! I'm vegetarian and it isn't always easy to eat out but this was amazing! The wine was tasty even though I'm not a big wine drinker. I only have one complaint .....the nudity in the restroom. There was a life sized poster of a man that says "the typical male that comes to the club" and... More

Yes some may find it offensive ( my late father in law who hated any mafia refence on connection to the family) but for fun and nostalgic feel to the checker past of Italian and Sicilian families this is a fun little place. Excellent food I had a chicken and pasta dish to die for - it was a fun... More
