Sorrento Lounge

Head down to Alcester Road in Moseley and you'll find yourself in one of Birmingham's most reliable neighbourhood spots. Sorrento Lounge does the kind of straightforward British cooking that actually tastes good—nothing pretentious, just well-executed dishes that make you want to come back. The room itself has that comfortable, lived-in feel you get when a place genuinely cares about its regulars; it's packed most nights with locals who know what they're after. You're looking at a proper night out without having to mortgage the house, and the fact that people keep returning says everything.
