Sorelle “Off the Lane” Brings Warm Italian Hospitality to Main Street in Warren

Tucked along the charming stretch of downtown Warren, Sorelle “Off the Lane” is quickly becoming one of the East Bay’s standout dining destinations. Created by Chef Michael St. Angelo and Mary Beth Ryder, the husband-and-wife team behind the popular Spaghetti Lane, Sorelle pairs classic Italian comfort food with warm hospitality, a thoughtfully curated wine program, and an inviting neighborhood atmosphere.

Located at 437 Main Street in the heart of Warren, Sorelle captures everything locals and visitors love about the town’s growing food scene—creativity, community, and authentic local character.

A Family-Driven Italian Dining Experience

The name “Sorelle,” meaning “sisters” in Italian, reflects the family spirit behind the restaurant. The concept was developed in collaboration with Mary Beth Ryder’s sisters, creating a dining experience rooted in family and tradition that feels warm, lively, and unmistakably personal. Rather than recreating a formal fine dining atmosphere, Sorelle embraces something more approachable and distinctly Rhode Island—elevated comfort food served in a warm, lively setting where guests can settle in with a glass of wine and stay awhile.

The restaurant describes itself as both casual and elevated, with an emphasis on old-school Italian cooking inspired by local traditions.  

A Perfect Fit for Warren’s Main Street

Over the past several years, Warren has become one of Rhode Island’s most exciting culinary destinations. Its walkable downtown, independent shops, art spaces, and growing collection of restaurants have made it a favorite stop for food lovers exploring the East Bay.

Sorelle fits naturally into that landscape. Rooted in the eclectic energy of Main Street, the restaurant offers visitors a quintessential Warren experience: locally inspired dining in a space that feels intimate, stylish, and welcoming. 

For travelers exploring the East Bay or spending a weekend along Rhode Island’s coastline, Sorelle is an ideal stop for dinner and drinks after visiting local galleries, boutiques, or the nearby waterfront.

Italian Cuisine with a Rhode Island Soul

At its core, Sorelle celebrates classic Italian flavors through the lens of Rhode Island dining culture. Guests can expect classic pastas, rich sauces, thoughtfully curated wines, and seasonal dishes that balance comfort with refinement.
Chef Michael St. Angelo’s culinary style leans into nostalgic Italian-American traditions while still feeling fresh and modern. 

The restaurant’s atmosphere is equally important to the experience. Rather than focusing solely on the food, Sorelle emphasizes the feeling of gathering around a table with family and friends, which is reflected in everything from the restaurant’s name to its design and service.
