 I had read so many glowing reviews of Sorella, so when we needed to find an alternative place to Barrio Chino, I used my Yelp app to find another nearby eatery and was reminded how much I have wanted to try Sorella. All I can say is THANK YOU Barrio Chino for being crowded, otherwise I would not have found my new obsession, Pate de Fegato. This unbelievably decadent plate combines what I think is the new holy trinity of food combinations- chicken liver mousse, bacon and egg all on an english muffin with that extra bit of love, duck fat. This would be perfect to share, but I was too greedy and had to polish it off all myself (I did give Tracy a taste, but that was it!)
And if that wasn't enough to saite my appetite, I also had the Targain, thin fettucini like pasta with lamb ragu, ricotta, pistachios and mint. Tracy had the fish special, a bass over super creamy potatoes which was another hit. To wash all of this down, we had a bottle of Montepulciano, a medium to full bodied red that was a great pairing with all I had. And I should have passed on dessert, but once I heard homemade ice cream chocolate and pretzels I forgot how full I was and forged ahead with dessert.   Next time I go (and there will be a next time), in addition to the Pate de Fegato, I am looking forward to trying the Acciughe al Verde- ligurian anchovies, salsa verde, lemon butter, hazelnuts, and flatbread, the Risotto with apples, caramelized onions, chanterelles, & robiola or the Crispy Veal Sweetbreads quince bacon marmalade. 

My advice to all is run, don't walk to Sorella and dig in to their Pate de Fegato to enjoy a plate of a lifetime!
