Sorge’s Restaurant Review

I mentioned that we celebrated Christmas early as our niece came for a visit. When Christmas was just a couple days away Jim and I decided to hop in the car to visit Amanda, Steve and the twins for Christmas in New York. So after about 7 long hours in the car, getting checked into the hotel it was finally time for us to grab some dinner! After speaking with the hotel staff we decided to go to Sorge’s Restaurant at 68 West Market Street in Corning, New York.

Sorge’s was opened in 1951 by Ronnie Sorge and his brother Remo who both came to the United States from Italy in 1936. Sorge’s is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We stopped by for an early dinner and let me just say we were on the verge of “hangry” (hungry and grumpy= hangry). I don’t have as many pictures as I usually have as the long drive had taken its toll on me!

Thankfully we were seated and had our menus very quick, along with drinks and dinner rolls to start. Since one of the things they are known for is the homemade pasta, that’s what I chose with an Alfredo sauce. After just one bite I had to stop for a moment as the pasta brought me right back to making homemade noodles with my grandmother. Although my grandmother made her pasta for chicken noodle soup and this had Alfredo sauce, the cooked noodle was as identical to my grandmother’s pasta that I have ever eaten. I had Jim take a bite and he too agreed it was very , very close. The noodle was pillowy but still cooked al Dante. Needless to say, I proceeded to shovel that pasta right into my hungry, but now very happy belly. What a way to start our time in New York.

Jim had the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich served with a side of their homemade sauce and chips. As you can see it took me a minute to get Jim’s picture as you are only seeing half the sandwich! Jim was also on the verge of “hangry”! I think I was lucky to get any pictures to be honest! We did not have any dessert as we wanted to get over to see Amanda’s family and new home they just purchased.

When we got back to New Hampshire I had a little more time to research the restaurant and menu a little further. Although they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu’s are terrific. From salad and soup bars every Wednesday and Thursday, burgers, sandwiches, home made pasta with your choice of sauce. Along with gluten- free items such as ravioli tossed in oil with fresh garlic topped with melted mozzarella.

Don’t forget to check the daily specials, those are amazing! Some of the specials have included grilled veggie wraps, meatball pizza and lemon herb crusted salmon to just name a couple things.

If you find yourself in the Corning, New York area stop in at Sorge’s for some homemade pasta or other amazing and just as delicious, menu choices. You can find them online and on Facebook. www.sorges.com
