[Eat & Drink]() Restaurant [Sorrento]() # Stringers Sorrento A wine bar and small-plate restaurant in Sorrento, cured kingfish, raw bar selections, and a natural-wine list built to match the food. Known for Natural and minimal-intervention wine list as the lead focus Raw bar, cured kingfish, and grilled octopus as signature dishes Narrow, atmospheric room, one of Sorrento's most considered small spaces Wine-bar format built around small plates rather than a full menu Best suited to late lunch or early dinner [Reserve a table]() Why we’d go Sorrento has plenty of places to eat. Stringers is the one that feels like it belongs in a laneway in Fitzroy, which, at the Tip, is not nothing. Stringers operates as a wine bar first and a restaurant second, the list leads, and the kitchen builds around it. The natural and minimal-intervention wine selection is the kind of list that repays time spent with it: there are bottles here you won't find in most suburban wine bars, and the staff know what they're pouring. The food follows the same logic: raw bar selections, cured kingfish, grilled octopus, mostly cold preparations and technique-forward small plates designed to work alongside what's in your glass. The room is narrow and atmospheric, the kind of space that works better with two or four than with a party of eight. It suits late lunch when the light is coming through the front, or early dinner before the Sorrento evening crowd arrives. Neither is a mistake. Come without an agenda, order a few plates, pick a bottle from the lower half of the list, and walk back along Sorrento's main strip when you're done.
