An Italian restaurant from the team behind two popular North Fulton County eateries is set to open in downtown Alpharetta in the next few weeks. Sorella Vicina will debut at 35 Milton Ave., on the bottom floor of the Hamilton Hotel. The concept comes from Phillip Cooper’s Cellared Roots Hospitality Group, which also owns Vin 25 in Roswell and Citizen Soul in Alpharetta.

Corporate chef and operations manager Sean Clark said Sorella Vicina’s menus will focus on Italian dishes, although some items will show influences from northern Spain and southern France. He said it was important to Cooper, a certified sommelier, to highlight cuisine that would also be complemented by a wide range of Mediterranean wines.
