Sorrento In is an Italian pizzeria and trattoria on London Road in Norbury, created by chef Valentino Ferro after two decades working in London restaurants. The kitchen draws on recipes from his home town of Sorrento and uses Italian ingredients with fresh seasonal produce.
Pizza is cooked in a traditional wood fired oven, with both tomato based and white varieties available. Choices range from marinara and spicy Diavola to combinations with Italian sausage, smoked cheese, mushrooms, lemon, walnuts or truffle oil, alongside a folded Sorrento style pizza filled with cheese, salami and cooked ham.
Homemade pasta is another important part of the menu. Gnocchi appears with tomato, mozzarella and basil or with prawns and courgette, while linguine with clams, mussels, squid and prawns brings together flavours associated with the coast around Sorrento.
Starters include bruschetta, aubergine parmigiana, buffalo mozzarella, meatballs, mussels and prawns. Italian meat and seafood dishes extend the main course selection, while tiramisu, chocolate and almond cake, gelato, tartufo and a dedicated wine list complete the relaxed trattoria experience.
Address: 1168 London Road, Norbury, London SW16 4DP, United Kingdom

WINE LIST
Marche Rosso IGT 2015 Moncaro
An intense ruby red colour. It has a fruity and floral bouquet with bits of wild berries
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Moncaro
Vinous buquet of berry fruits, medium bodied, ripe, wild berry fruit flavours and light tannic finish
Negroamaro IGT "Il Medaglione"
Full body southern italian red from Salento. This is a warming hearty wine that demands good food
Aglianico Sannio DOP 2015 Janaro
Deep ruby red with purple hints. It pairs well with all meals especially chargrilled roast meats and stewings
Chianti DOC "I Sodi del Paretaio"
Badia di Morrona – Almost ruby red with layered red fruit aromas. Old Chianti in style, best served with salami, cheese or even pizza
Valpollicella Ripasso Superiore 2014
Campagnola – Deep ruby red colour, elegant, complex aromas of ripes fruits, with a soft and rich flavour in the mouth
Lacryma Christi Mastrobernardino
Intense ruby-red in color, aromas of cherries and red fruit underscore notes of plums, raspberries, and black pepper. Refined tannins and good acidity make this wine rich without being overpowering. Pair this wine with spaghetti and meatballs, Bolognese sauce, pizza Margherita, and even grilled swordfish.
Gragnano Penisola Sorrentina 2015
Ruby red color that tends to dark, vinous and rural scent. Frizzantino with evanescent froth, has an extremely volatile aroma and smoky aftertaste. Slightly sweet, despite the color should be drunk cold at a temperature of 5-8 degrees. Perhaps it is the wine that best matches with Margherita or marinara pizza and with delicatessen products. Also ideal as an aperitif.
Marche Bianco IGT 2015 Moncaro
A light easy drinking wine. It has a straw, yellow colour with green tints, the flavour is fresh and harmonious.
Grillo Nadaria IGT 2015
Fresh nose with citrus and white flowers. The palate carries a medium weight with peach fruit juice and a citrus twinge. Nice refreshing finish.
Falanghina del Sannio DOP Janare
This is a vibrant wine with plenty of richness and elegant citrussy fruit. There are notes of apple and quince, alongside some nutty complexity, soft spice and a lean mineral streak. The attractive notes of orchard fruits lead through on to the palate which is layered with conference pear and white blossom. Long and fragrant on the finish, this is a great wine that is delicious with summer salads, poultry and fish. A real all-rounder!
La Scolca Gavi Dei Gavi Gold 2016
He shines with the varietal’s bouquet and its straw yellow color with greenish reflections. An elegant freshness and harmony characterize its taste, which is lapped by a touch of almond.
