According to a recent permit filing, Sorella has filed for a location in the Sellwood-Moreland area at 6716 SE Milwaukie Avenue.
A representative of Sorella was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date and what Sorella plans to offer have yet to be confirmed, according to the permit filing, behind Sorella is Blake Kusler of Montelupo Market.
Sorella’s planned days of operation will be every day from 11 AM to 9 PM, with no seasonal variation. Outdoor operating hours will be the same, with food and alcohol service options.
Montelupo Market has two locations in the area and is described as providing everything from ready-to-eat antipasti to delectable desserts and artisanal cocktails, Montelupo offers everything you need to create a custom Italian feast in the comfort of your own home.
According to a previous article from What Now Portland about Montelupo and Del Lupo, another concept from Blake, “Montelupo’s cocktail-to-go program is described as a standout feature of the market. Initially beginning with the Italian classic Negroni, the program has since expanded to include other favorites like the Manhattan and Sazerac.”
“Currently, visitors can choose from a carefully curated lineup of five drinks, all meticulously created by the talented bar manager, Eddie Riddell. Blake wanted to keep things straightforward yet delightful, maintaining a connection between the cocktails and the culinary experience.”
“While traditionally seen as pre-dinner drinks, these libations have been thoughtfully paired to complement the various food offerings, making them equally enjoyable during meals.”
