First lunch or second breakfast? Who is really tracking?
Sorrento's is the pizza venue on board. They are open nearly 24 hours a day with hours of 11:30 AM to 3AM. I thought it was just a place to grab a slice. I didn't know they also had a great selection of antipasto.
The pizza was pedestrian. I have had much better crust on other cruises ships. Princess and Carnival come to mind. The special.pizza of the day (Prima Vera) was the best of the two, lifted by terrific toppings of marinated tomatoes, peppers,.spinach and onion. It had a good kick of heat.
The real gem of this place is the antipasto. So many things to try.
The marinated olives were my favorite. If you have never tried marinating olives with oranges, stop what you are doing and add it to your "to do" list. This was not the first time having them this way, but it was the best. Something about the sweet citrus that goes so well with the brininess. The marinated roasted peppers and eggplant were also delicious. They were combined with some spicy peppers which raised the whole dish up several notches. The stuffed potatoes were surprisingly tasty. Small yellow potatoes that had been boiled and them had some the potatoes scooped out and combined with cheese. Then that mixture added back as stuffing. There were also stuffed and fried mushrooms. While these had a good flavor, they were served cold. If they had been warm, it would have been a winning dish.
So while this place may be "known" for it's pizza, you should really go for the antipasto. It is a shame this isn't located on the pool deck although I understand why they have it near the casino.
