***** Sorrisi, 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 935-6688.

The other night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate at- Sorrisi which is an Italain restaurant located in the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek. Just so you know, the bill was “comped” by the casino based on our black-jack play. So we ate on the arm, but not as Jeff Eats.

Short and to the point, Sorrisi is an “okay” restaurant…ordered dishes included-fried calamari ($9), Caesar salad ($7), penne alla vodka ($15), margherita pizza ($11-personal size–wood fired), chicken parmigiana ($18 with pasta side), spaghetti and meatballs ($17) meat lasagna ($19)-and like I just said, Sorrisi is an okay-joint…but, nothing really special is going on there.

So…

We get a “comp”…we use the “comp” at Sorrisi- no “comp” we don’t go-driving no 17 miles-one way (you can fill in your own number) to eat there… you’re already in the casino, no “comp”- you’re hungry, you weigh your eating options (just so you know -Jeff Eats is being overly dramatic here), maybe you do Sorrisi, maybe you do the casino’s deli, maybe you do the casino’s steak joint, maybe you do the casino’s outdoor tiki bar, maybe you do the casino’s buffet…..

To close it out for you-handsome restaurant, full bar, inside seating/inside patio seating, decent enough menu/food, casino (captured audience) prices- but nothing even close to approaching highway robbery, good service and you can wear your tee shirt/shorts/flip flop ensemble.

One last thought…Did you ever notice that when the word “BUT” is used in a sentence the next part of the sentence ain’t good news? For example…Hey Jeff Eats you look great, BUT your hair looks like crap. Or, how about- Hey Joey, you got the promotion, BUT your dog just got hit by a car and died.

Sorrisi is open Tuesday-Thursday 5pm-11pm, Sunday 3pm-10pm, closed on Monday.
