Trattoria Sora Lella

Definitely overpriced, but because you're paying for the ambience as well. The surrounding area is really very nice, so if you know 30% of the price goes to that and are ok w it then please proceed Coda alla vaccinara(oxtail) is alright. Texture was slightly chewy, the tomato sauce was lacking in body despite being already quite salty. Can skip The meatballs are really not good. The tomato sauce is more strongly herbed in this one, but the smooth texture and the mealyness betrays the use of a lot of filling, you can hardly taste meat. Skip this, it's ridiculously priced Finally the lamb sweetbread does have some caramelised flavour, texture is alright as well but also lacks flavour esp because it's done with such a mild sauce. In particular the centre of each piece is almost tasteless Food is only slightly above average, but very overpriced if you're not here to enjoy the scenery

So good we had to go back a second time! Sora Lella was the first choice for my boyfriend and I when we travelled to Edinburgh last month and wanted to support the local vegan restaurants. We knew we had made the right decision when we arrived to find a cosy, warm, pleasant restaurant filled with the wonderful scents of Italian cooking. We had the penne arrabiata and the zozzana and both were amazing; the spices were flavoursome but balanced with a fresh and creamy taste. The vegan parmesan was great too. For dessert, we had the white chocolate cheesecake and that was simply the best cheesecake I’ve ever had; I tried going back for it multiple times but there are different, fresh cheesecakes every day and we unfortunately had to return home too soon. I’ll go back for it next time! It was a pleasure eating in this restaurant - the ambience was homely and the service was professional and attentive. We recommend that anyone, vegan or not, goes to Sora Lella for the italian food in Edinburgh!

I really liked the food, which was simply amazing. However, I am compelled to reduce the mark I give because the wine was served at a higher temperature than it should, and that they never brought oil & balsamic for the bread (which was not complimentary...).

We had a very nice dinner at Sora Lella in January 2025. Service was friendly, food delicious, and an overall great experience. Expect pretty heavy food though, Rome's cuisine is rich. There were tourists but it did feel like a local restaurant. A deposit is necessary to book.

Wow! Service with a smile, friendly waiters who gave excellent advice and helped us with our selections, and exceptionally delicious food! We had the family-recipe tomato gnocchi and paccheri with oxtail (served on the bone!) with a side of simple salad with anchovy dressing. Perfeto! If you can nab a table outside it’s a lovely setting by a bridge too. Highly recommend

Fantastic Roman tasting and Lazio wine pairings! We did the traditional Roman tasting and 5 wine pairing, and the Honor to the fifth quarter tasting with 4 wine pairings. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, and the service was great. One of the best meals we have had in our travels across Italy the last few weeks.

1 starter, 1 first course, 1 second course, 1 bottle of house wine for 2 adults and the bill was $110. The food was good but not exceedingly delicious, the service was good and helpful but it was not above average. The atmosphere was uninteresting , no music, just the sounds of others chattering and the kitchen staff preparing meals. It’s hard to justify the price with the quality of food and atmosphere. Nothing about the experience makes me want to return.

The price was too high for what we got. The food is good but nothing incredible you can eat in Rome much better for way less. The saltimbocca was not in the menu and super expensive… 32euro ! In general it is a basic dish from Roman kitchen ! The owner suggested to take it as the dish of the day, he did not specify the price and told me to take a side in addition! At the end 1 primo, 1 secondo, 1 contorno, 1 degustazione di formaggi + half wine bottle for 123 euro
