FAQ
Is SÒRSO a wine bar or a restaurant?
Both, in roughly equal measure, which is what separates it locally. Most Tirana wine rooms treat food as something to soak up the pour, and most Italian kitchens treat wine as an afterthought. Here the kitchen and the list carry similar weight.
What food does SÒRSO serve?
Italian in shape: tagliere boards of cured meat and cheese, piadina flatbreads, pasta and bruschetta. It is built for sharing across a table rather than ordering a course each, so it suits a group better than a solo sitting.
Where exactly is SÒRSO in relation to Blloku?
In the quieter streets just outside the main Blloku grid, a few minutes' walk from its busiest corners. That matters at the weekend, when the central Blloku streets are loud enough to make conversation across a table difficult.
Is SÒRSO suitable for a group?
Yes, and the menu is designed for it. Boards and shared plates work better for four or six than individual courses, and it is one of the reasons the room fills with groups rather than couples at the end of the week.
Do I need to reserve at SÒRSO?
Worth it for a weekend evening or for a group of more than four. The room is not large, and being off the main strip means walk-in turnover is lower than at the bars in the middle of Blloku.
