BRATENAHL, Ohio — Sorella Restaurant , an elevated Italian-American concept, opens Friday, Oct. 17, at One Bratenahl Place, just beyond the gates of the lakeside community.

Founded by David and Alexa Dragich in partnership with Alexa’s father, Raymond Guarino, Sorella is the latest project from the family’s new G & D Hospitality Group. Guarino has a history in hospitality but is not related to the Guarino’s restaurant in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood.

The team took over and transformed the dining space at One Bratenahl Place in June.

The refreshed venue now features a 16-seat granite bar and lounge with a moody, intimate feel, a 60-seat dining room and a private event space dubbed “The Speakeasy.”
