Service is quite ordinary including when you book over teh phone you are advised "upfront" one bill per table no exceptions, what is that about. We ordered bruchetta which was actually a bowl of tomato and onion salsa surrounded by what looked like pre bought toast crackers. Mains was a steak which was overcooked Medium when rare was ordered, however... More

I had the anti pasto for entree and Penne Pollo Avocado for mains. I was surprised at how quickly the entree came out. It is only anti-pasto after all but obviously nothing was home made. It was ok but the presentation was shocking. Bits and pieces crammed onto a plate. The main was awful. The pasta wasn't cooked properly and... More

We first went to Sorbello's over 10 years ago, the food was fantastic then and it’s still fantastic. My hubby and I have been there for lunch 4 times in the last few months and really enjoy it. They have a great variety of food to pick from and everything we’ve had so far has been wonderful. Service is normally... More

I hear it is busy on most nice so I was happy when we walked in with no reservation and were given a table near the bar. I had the bread medley, which comes with garlic bread, cheesy bread , ciabatta and what I think is herb bread- but tastes pretty much like garlic bread. My partner had a large... More

I love Sorbello's, so when it was suggested we fly from Brisbane to Mackay so I could celebrate my birthday with a close friend at Sorbello's, I was super excited. I had talked up Sorbello's for almost a year since my first of quite a few visits each time I was in Mackay. Sadly, instead of celebrating my birthday over... More

Stayed in Mackay for one night and ate here because it was close to my motel. (The International Lodge) It was pouring with rain so didn't want to go too far. The food was served quickly but was a bit pre-made for my liking. I had brusschetta for starters (yeah probably wrong spelling) this was a small finger bowl of... More
