    Black truffle mushroom pasta
    Keli T.

    This was a phenomenal dining experience. I was in town for a work event and did dinner with a friend while there. The service was great. The server made recommendations and was extremely attentive. The food was fantastic. I hate I didn't get pictures of my salad. The atmosphere was also amazing. I would definitely return.

    Saltimbocca, salmon

    Wow wow wow. Beautiful restaurant that makes a date night feel like a special occasion. Our reservation for 2 on Saturday night sat us at the corner seat of the bar which we loved. Service was exquisite, fast and friendly. To start, we ordered the tuna and the kitchen even split it into two personal portions for each of us! Tuna was delicious and fresh, with heavy wasabi flavor. For entrees, the salmon was perfectly cooked with a small mixture of veggies. The saltimbocca was phenomenal - veal was melt in your mouth with mashed potatoes that had so much flavor. Love this place, highly recommend if you're looking a special fancy night out.

    Dim lighting, white tablecloths and lovely china made for a beautiful setting, only dampened by the loud music that didn't fit the romantic vibe. The house made sourdough round was amazing. I could have eaten just that. But we also plowed through an entire order of truffle fries before a yummy, very garlicky Caesar salad. Unfortunately the salmon was rare instead of medium well as ordered. Having to send back one meal while the other person eats always dampens the dining experience. The salmon was served with a delicious eggplant dish. The other fish we had was served with a humongous dish of kale which was a bit strong tasting. The dishes were sufficiently spread out time wise. Overall a nice experience.

    Warm bread with salted butter

    Visited the first night while in Boston and could not have been more pleased with Sorellina. Upon entering the establishment, the decor is modern and striking. Low lighting and peaceful atmosphere. The service was good. The warm bread with salted butter melts in your mouth. The pasta made with bone marrow was very rich and filling. Large portions. Highly recommend for a special evening.

    Fabulous food, amazing staff paid attention to every detail, great table with beautiful bow window. We had a variety of salads, the buffalo mozzarella appetizer. Primo we had the meatball dish and the ravioli dish. Dinner plates were scallops and veal saltimbocca. Desserts were chocolate raspberry mousse and the chocolate lava cake with salted caramel gelato.

    we sat at the bar last minute, kaitlyn was our bartender/server and was great. we started with bread and eggplant rolatini. i loved the eggplant rollatini. we ordered their maccheroncelli and cavatelli to split because we couldn't decide, and both preferred the cavatelli. bread 9/10 eggplant rollatini 9/10 maccheroncelli 8.5/10 cavatelli 10/10 came here again and thomas was our server through the majority of our meal, then maryann took over, they were both extremely hospitable and had perfect timing. i tried their petal pusher drink which was outside of my typical order and it was so delicious, i ordered 2 more! we started with bread, oysters, and lobster gnocchi. the lobster gnocchi was absolutely divine, perfect taste and texture. we ordered the ribeye, scallops, and mushrooms for a main course. ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection, look at pictures for reference. i loved the scallops, they were big and beautifully plated. mushrooms were good, asparagus was great, and for dessert, we ordered the gelato (chocolate, coffee, and pistachio). they surprised me with a chocolate happy birthday plating with candle. they made this dinner incredibly special and i highly recommend everything i ordered. raw oysters 9/10 lobster gnocchi 10/10 ribeye 10/10 scallops 10/10 mushrooms 8.5/10 gelato 10/10 petal pusher 10/10 whether you're looking for a special date night, intimate solo date, or a dining with a group, sorellina would be a perfect destination with their attention to detail, exemplary service, and everything is delicious. ambiance: 5/5 food: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 sorellina: 5/5

    Tuna Tartare
    Lily S.

    Wow, I loved this place. Our server was outstanding. We (again) decided our brains were too fried to order. Even though they did not have a tasting menu our server put together a wonderful array of dishes and total tab was very reasonable given the amount of food, ambience, and quality of food. We had a total of 8 dishes and total came out under $300. We started with the tuna which was nicely seasoned with a kick, then went on to Al dente handmade pasta with zucchini (?) - very very good, I didn't want the meatball dish so our server subbed it was a truffle pasta with mushrooms - WOW loved this one! Sauce was rich and mushrooms were perfect topped with truffle oil, eggplant rollatini was a great addition, and halibut was cooked perfectly with sweet summer corn. Our favorite was the dessert, limone was not too tart or too sweet, the bombolini was incredible - Highly recommended. Great value, beautiful restaurant, and wonderful service!

    Came here for my birthday !The ambiance was nice and chill! The service was great waiter was able to assist when asked what was recommended. The drinks and food were yummy and appetizing.

    We had a great dinner at Sorellina! The restaurant has as great atmosphere - dimmed lighting, nice table settings, and not too loud. Our waitress was also spectacular. Attentive, informative, and super nice! For food - we tried the tuna appetizer first. It was amazing except for the Dijon spread at the bottom. I did not care for that part. We also tried the lobster gnocchi, and the filet mignon. The filet was amazing - highly recommend. The lobster was fun to try but I can't say I would recommend as your only dish. It has way too much butter in it so it's rich after a few bites. We split the gnocchi and filet between 2 of us and that worked better. The desserts were awesome too - we tried the tiramisu, chocolate cake and the donuts. We also tried the espresso martinis (it was a big night lol). The donuts and the martini were the winners but everything was very good! The pricing is high - as expected, given the caliber of the restaurant. Some of the portion sizes were smaller than I was expecting but overall the bill was in line with other high end steak houses. We will be back to try it again!

    Family dinner for six the weekend after Thanksgiving. The menu is varied ranging from seafood to salads to house made pasta to traditional plated entrees. The tuna tartare was amazing. Large, fresh with a bit of a kick. It was served with homemade crackers. Wow. I had two half portions of pasta as my entree. Loved that the pasta was house made and the sauces were non traditional. Truffle sauce, red wine based sauce- both delicious. Server was one of the best we have had in years. Dining room was active but not loud. Nice lighting.

    Veal chop
    Chris M.

    We had impeccable service. I think we had a waiter assigned just to our table because there were eight of us. After he gave us all menus. He went through the entire menu. I don't know how he remembered it all. They kept our glasses full so someone was always watching the table. I started with six oysters followed by a veal chop. The oysters had cucumber mignonette on them rather than cocktail sauce. The veal chop was nice and tender, medium rare just like I like it. We had kale and mushrooms as sides. We really did not need them with the size of the portions. There were high ceiling, curtains to keep down the noise. Perfect for conversation. The parking is non-existent. I took an Uber so I'm would not have to deal with a car.

    Beautiful spacious restaurant with high ceilings. There is also a large LED lit mural as the centerpiece. The space is also dimly lit and really give off an art gallery vibe. The complimentry bread is rather tasty. Crunchy crust and nice and soft in inside. The butter is a bit bland side, though. 3.5/5 Lobster bisque- Creamy and savory with a generous portion of lobster, which was nice and tender. Very good! 4.5/5 Octopus Large portion of thinly sliced octopus. It was slightly covercook but still a tasty dish. The squid ink on the lentils did not add any flavor, but looked nice. There was also a little spice kick to the dish that that complained it. 4/5 Scallops 5 giant diver scallops. Nice crust on outside sweet and tender on inside. Perfectly cooked. Came with a delicious truffle jam sauce. The prosciutto was a bit of a distraction texture was. It was slightly cooked . The crunchiness just seemed off with such a tender dish. Also, it is on the small size, so get a big appetizer. 4/5 LIMONE Creamy and smooth lemon curd that's not to sweet and not too sour. Topped with campati foam that adds a nice bitterness and buckthorn that's adds a bit of sweetness. A very tasty dish 5/5

    Lamb chops

    Our friend told us about this place so of course we had to try it since it was across the street from our hotel. We made a reservation just in case it was busy. We arrived on time and we were greeted right away by the hostess. We waited a few minutes before being seated. We ordered a nice bottle of red wine which price wise was really good. Our waiter brought us some hot bread that was delicious. We ordered the Kobe beef meatballs as an appetizer and they came out right away. They didn't look like your normal meatballs but once you sliced them up, they were delicious and the noodles with complimented them. No marinara sauce which was even better. Our entrees were the lamb chops and the Fettuccini with Black truffle sauce. The lamb was so tender, cooked perfect, and great flavor. The fettuccini had so much flavor with the truffle sauce and the noodles cooked perfect. The desert doughnuts were light and fluffy and delicious. Our waiter was nice and fantastic during our whole meal. The place is a really nice restaurant, but not to fancy. The prices are a little pricey but the service and the food is well worth it for one night.

    Excellent views and ambience. Friendly professional staff, and very nice menu. Great drinks…read more Conversations with other patrons is very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Everything is done "top notch ". Whether you are a traveler or a local, it can be either a special night out, or a regular place to frequent. Extra munchies are an added plus. Everything is slightly higher priced, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I have been coming here for decades...since the old Ritz Carlton days, and still appreciate the revolution of this lovely spot.

This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls!
