Sorbellos Authentic Sicilian Restaurant is a small Family Owned, store front Sicilian Restaurant located in the Wells Plaza Shopping Center on Wells Road in Orange Park, Florida. Actually, Sorbellos Restaurant is a little easy to miss. The Restaurant is located on the side of Wells Plaza on Debarry Ave just behind the Kangaroo Gas Station. Sorbellos Authentic Sicilian Restaurant serves a variety of Sicilian Dishes made by a Sicilian Family that came from the old country. The food is Authentic, and the atmosphere is decidedly Sicilian with red & white checkered table clothes and curtains. The Restaurant is divided with the kitchen and a couple tables and a counter to dine at on one side, and a small dining room on the other. The owner and cook is obviously Sicilian with a thick accent. They are friendly and courteous there too.

I stumbled upon Sorbellos Authentic Sicilian Restaurant by accident while visiting nearby NAS Jacksonville. If I was just driving down Wells Road, I probably would have never noticed it due to its out of the way location in Wells Plaza. I guess I got lucky. In Sorbellos, they have a sign that asks you to be patient while they prepare your food and to please relax. This is also reiterated on the menu. I ordered the Baked Ziti (Nonna Style). The Baked Ziti had pieces of ham in it and lots of ricotta & mozzarella cheese in it too. I did not have to wait long for my food at all. I was curious about the "Nonna Style" and was told that it meant Grandmother style. It was pretty good. I prefer not to have the ham, but the pasta was hot and cooked al dente, and the cheese combo was excellent. They serve a salad with homemade Italian dressing which was good and some bread. The bread was disappointing to me. I expected traditional Italian crusty bread, but instead I received soft bread that I suspect may have been Pillsbury or some other store bought pop-in-the-oven type bread. The price of the food was reasonable too. Sorbellos also serves traditional Sicilian Style Pizza, Calzones, and other Italian/Sicilian Dishes too

Overall, Sorbellos Authentic Sicilian Restaurant is a good place to have a meal in a Family Owned Restaurant that doesn't kill your pocket.
