Sorso opens Sept. 23 at Orinda Theatre Square

Sorso, a new Italian cocktail and wine bar, is set to open its doors on Wednesday, September 23, at 2 Orinda Theatre Square, Suite 106, in Moraga. The bar promises to bring a sophisticated yet neighborhood-focused experience to the local community, offering a unique twist on the Italian aperitivo culture with small plates that blend Italian flavors with Asian and Mexican accents.

The opening of Sorso is expected to have a significant impact on the local dining scene, providing residents and visitors with a new spot for after-work drinks and casual dining.

The bar is operated by Dicapa Inc., with Daniele Carsano listed as the company’s officer. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued an active on-sale general eating place license for the establishment, allowing Sorso to serve beer, wine, and distilled spirits.

While the exact operating hours for Sorso have not yet been determined, the bar will initially operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. The center’s directory lists Sorso among other popular tenants such as Shemroon Cafe, Lamorinda Atelier, and Forge Pizza. The patio area will adhere to specific conditions set by the state, including a barrier at the boundary and a sign at the entrance to comply with alcohol service regulations.
