Eat here. I went with a friend and we sat at the bar, splitting everything. We started with hand cut raw tuna with spicy mostarda aioli and chili vinegar, which they split for us (always greatly appreciated). Following that was the highly recommended red beet ravioli with toasted almonds, green onion butter. YUM. Their small dish comes with three ravioli but since we were splitting things, the bar tender offered to add a fourth (how nice) This dish has so much flavor that two raviolis each was just enough to keep us sa-tis-fied, and wanting more. The morning after I received a text message that said, "I think I dreamed of the ravioli" followed by "I've taken down two bagels and am really slow today", which has more to do with the bottle of wine but I digress. The double rib roast pork with mascarpone polenta was sweet and the filet mignon was savory. With great food, great service and a bustling atmosphere (even on a Tuesday night) you can't go wrong. Eat here. read more

Sorellina is the top of the line as far as restaurants go in Boston. From the moment you walk in, you are treated with total class. I've come here for several birthday celebrations as well as once for Restaurant Week. I can honestly say that each meal was incredible. One meal in particular, the three people I was with and I all walked out claiming it was the best meal we'd ever had. The wine selection is amazing, as are the cocktails. The foie gras appetizer is a must order for me. I have usually gotten that and a pasta dish. I love the pasta with shrimp- it's very simple but delicious. The tar-tar appetizers are also amazing. Their menu frequently changes but some form of the staples are always there. I wish I could eat here more often but as is the food, the prices are also top of the line. It's definitely my go-to for special occasions because the whole experience- the food, the service, the ambiance, is all very special! read more

Spectacular. My good friend and future matron of honor took me here to celebrate my engagement. And a celebration place, this definitely is. It's not a place I would frequent, solely because of the price tag, but you pay for what you get. The ambiance is modern and chic. The service was remarkable. The waiter was not stumped by any questions we asked and he seemed genuinely interested in helping us. We both got the tuna tartare appetizer per my friend's recommendation. This dish is a revelation. It is possibly the best appetizer I've had in my life and is most of the reason I'm giving this place five stars instead of four. If you order nothing else, order this dish. The fresh raw tuna, horseradish aioli and spices in a square formation had the perfect amount of flavor without being overpowering and the crackers that came with the dish were amazing. I ordered the sturgeon for my main course. It was buttery and cooked to perfection. It wasn't as mind blowing as the appetizer, but it was still very good. I don't know when I'll come back, but I should probably make up something to celebrate for a chance to. read more

I stumbled upon Sorrelina, a modern Italian-inspired restaurant while sightseeing near the Boston Public Library. Immediately, I recognized this restaurant was part of the Columbus Hospitality Group. I was curious to experience the hype behind this collection of restaurants. Striking manzanita trees, a large scale piece of a tree lined path, and branches painted on plates welcomed us to this dimly lit, sleek, and stylish restaurant. The white tablecloths and dining patrons dressed in business attire added to the upscale atmosphere at Sorrelina. Bottom line: Sorellina lives up to the hype of the CHG restaurants. Lovely ambiance with a wide selection of seafood and meat. I highly recommend the lobster gnocchi. The soft and buttery pillows of gnocchi melted in my mouth and the Maine lobster was cooked to perfection. read more

i've been lucky enough to come here 3 times now and it's always been amazing! for entrees, i've had the salmon before, which was perfect albeit uneventful, but wowza- last time i tried the fettuccine and it blew my mind. i love mushrooms but am not a big fan of truffles, so i was pleased with the very mild truffle taste in the butter.. the noodles were so thick and perfect, it was decadent. i had this as an entrée, so I felt the need to get some broccoli rabe since there was no veggie component w/ the pasta, and the two went so well together. service & ambience are top notch as you would expect w/ their pricing. it's really a perfect date spot- quiet and romantic (and sure to impress your date!). okay, now here's where i do a little plug for a happy discovery, which are the BOMBOLINI! they're essentially fancy munckin's filled with Nutella, rolled in sugar and served alongside a vanilla bean anglaise for dipping. they smell like sweet funnel cakes and remind me of state fairs. with some coffee? perfection! definitely try this place at least once! my mouth is watering just writing this review... ;) (FYI, there's a tuna tartare on the menu but an even yummier salmon version off the menu) read more

Just came back from a weekend in Boston for my hubby's birthday. I have read many good reviews for this place and decided to book it. The food and service is top notch. The service is definitely a 11 out of 10 - they were so efficient, polite and great team work. We never had to ask for anything because they were always one step ahead. We were very impressed - never been to a restaurant whom care about service so much. We shared everything and the portions were very generous from start to finish. The salad was very fresh, the lobster gnoochi was so flavourful that it melted in our mouths. The butter sauce mixed in with the Maine lobster made the gnocchi so tasty. I wanted more...... We shared the rib eye and my hubby absolutely loved it. The meat was cooked to perfection and the sauce that they used had a smokey taste which complimented the meat very well. It came with brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes that were cooked to perfection. For dessert, they provide a complimentary lemon sorbet for my hubby's birthday to end things off. We will definitely come back when we are in town next. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for amazing Italian food in the Back Bay area of Boston. It's in a great location! read more

Judging by other reviews people had mixed experiences at this place. I'll tell you about mine. I had one of the best restaurant service experiences. The place is beautifully decorated, reminds me a little of Miami with the high ceilings and white curtains. We were sat instantly. The waitress got me a pillow to recline on, even though I never even thought of asking for one. She was extremely attentive, making sure that we had everything that we wanted and were happy with what we got. One of us dropped a knife accidental and before we had a chance to reach over and pick it up there was someone on the floor picking it up for us! Our wine glasses were never empty (they made sure that we drank every drop of our expensive bottle of wine, I wouldn't have wanted to leave a drop, it was that good). Over all we left with a feeling of being pampered to death (but in a good way. :) ) The food was very good. The Salmon and Veil Carpaccio was an interesting combination, but the Veil I had for the entree was insanely good!! Unfortunately I couldn't finish it 'cause the portion was pretty large, but I wanted every bite of it. My companion had the Kobe meat balls... the meat was ok, but the sauce was to die for. For an entree the whole cod (i believe it was), oh my... I'm salivating just thinking about it. No, this place was not cheap. Yes it was a $200 dinner for two, but soooo worth it. I'll definitely come back there again. Why wouldn't I? There was absolutely NOT one thing that was disappointing or unpleasant about the dinner and that's rear. read more

My sister and I go every time I visit her in Boston and it is honestly the sexiest restaurant on the East Coast. Gorgeous decor, excellent spot with floor to ceiling window view on surrounding city, beautiful & friendly people all around. Love, love, love Sorellina! The food is amazing, the staff is superb - can't wait for my next trip... read more

I have heard about this place for a long time, and finally tried it last night. The decor is AMAZING. The service is highly attentive, and they are very knowledgeable. However, I have to say I was underwhelmed by the food. It was good, just not great,considering the prices. I had the chicken which was decent. I have to say for the first course, we had the meatballs (MACCHERONCELLI), which were absolutely delicious.. incredible... so I would definitely recommend a trip, I just think that you can get a better value for your money in Boston. read more

I love this place. i think this restaurant is comparable to a trendy NY place or even Miami spot. typically good ol' boston- can't compete to either. someone told me that cardinal omalley was sitting next to us. but i had no clue. on the other side of us there was a drunk couple spilling wine all over the place- so my attention was on them trying to avoid red wine on my dress! thats the thing- the tables are so close together. thats the one thing i didn't like. its too squished. and for dinner, i dont' really want to hear our neighbor's entire conversation. the service is outstanding. car service- ask for Nounzea! he is the best! GET the kobe meatballs for an appetizer- omg i am still dreaming about them. seriously soooo good. i had the filet- mouthwatering! the eggplant was probably one of the best i ever had! i can't wait to go back to this place. everything was delicious. its very very expensive- but its so worth it. read more

Despite its dubious location right next to the Mass Pike entrance, the interior of Sorellina transports you out of the hustle and bustle, and into a luxuriously complacent dining experience. The interior boasted very high ceilings, with equally impressive bay windows. One wall holds luscious bottles of vino as high as you can see, another with modern art decor that promotes a comforting ambiance. Despite its sophistication and refinement, the cuisine reminds me of rustic Italian comfort food that my mother and grandmother would recreate from the northern regions of Italy. The service is impeccable, leaving nothing to quander over, or interrupt your dining experience. Sorellina is definitely a for-certain-occasions establishment, however, due to their admittedly steep pricing. All in all, a cute, quaint evening is to be had at the top of Huntington Avenue. read more

So...again it was Sorellina. One night in Boston and where do I go? To what I consider the best restaurant in Boston. In NY, it's Marc Forgione, In SF it's Dosa and in Boston its Sorellina. Home away from home. Awesome food and service. read more

. This was our first trip. Restaurant was booked up but we just walked into the bar at around 6:30 and got a perfect spot at the oner sofa/bar table spot. We started with cocktails, a terrific old fashioned and a grapefruit martini. For appetizers, we had UNBELEVEABLY great arancini, with crisp (but not greasy) balls of fried goodness filled with tender risotto and crab. We also had a lovely fonduta with crispy soprasetta bits in the cheese. Yum. We followed that up with two pastas, the rabbit parpadelle and the kobe meatballs with fresh tubes of pasta. The pasta in the meatball dish was incredibly fresh tasting, and the meatballs did not disappoint. Compared to the fresh pasta in the meatball dish, the parpadelle tasted a bit underwhelming, but the sauce had a great braised rabbit flavor and wonderful bits of pancetta. Excellent meal. read more

This place is gorgeous. Chic down to the tiling in the bathroom floor. We came here on a Friday night around 9:30 and the place was packed. We decided to sit at the bar and managed to steal the last two seats. The bartender was very sweet - I had the promegranate martini which was nice and stiff. I could have it a bit sweeter but that's just me. There was about two other people behind the bar that swooped in with water and placemats very quickly. I judge restaurants heavily on the bread they serve and this bread was delicious-warm, fluffly, crisp outside, and great butter/oil to pair it with. The boy had the scallop dish and I had the half plate of linguini. Mine was so, so good- three huge tiger shrimp, al dente pasta with a nice little kick to it. Very pleasantly surpised and the portion was just right for me. The boy's scallops were perfectly cooked (medium rare to medium) and he enjoyed the cauliflower and mushrooms, licking the plate clean. We didn't get dessert but the cider donut one was very tempting. I'm taking away one star because of the price. I just can't justify spending $38 for five scallops. Granted, they were very good scallops, but if he had been starving it wouldn't have been filling enough. Additionally, boyfriend was convinced both the couples on either side of us weren't in fact couples, but fat rich old guys stringing along their mistresses/"personal assistants." I disagreed but we had fun eavesdropping and debating about whether their boobs were real or not. In all, great food, great service, great ambiance but be prepared to spend a lot and beware of the pretentious wannabes. read more

Very beautiful; all white; very tendy; place to be seen; small bar area; hard to locate between the Westin Hotel/Mass Turnpike entrance and the Boston Public Library. Food = 4.5 stars Service = 4 stars Decor = 5 stars read more

It's pricey, but the great thing about this place is that you get exactly what you pay for: a waiter with extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list, a very classy ambiance, and delicious tasting food. For apps the eggplant rollatini was tasty. Truffle fries were good too but I'm not sure if they live up to the Yelp hype. The oysters are good if you like the non-traditional style preparation. We also ordered the special truffle pasta dish ($85!!) and had them split it 5-ways. It was good (don't get me wrong) but I'm not sure if it warrants the outrageous price tag. They really hit it out of the park for entrees: I got the veal which was absolutely superb. It was "melt in your mouth" texture and the truffle whipped potatoes were the perfect compliment. My girlfriend ordered the scallops which were equally as tasty. All in all great ambiance, quality food, and a huge wine list. read more

I've been here before in the past and it was great. But I recently returned because it was on restaurant week again :) The menu had great selections and I will definitely come back in the future. Appetizer: (not on RW menu, on regular menu) Sorellina oysters on the half shell. They serve their raw oysters like no other place I've ever had. they add a scoop of lemony sorbet!! and splashes of champagne or something, but it's to die for, if you like oysters. Appetizer: tuna tartare, which was amazing. just the right amount of seasoning and honestly the perfect portion. Other people at my table got the mushroom soup, which was also a good choice. Entree: Mushroom fettuccine. Any other day, I would have gotten the ribeye, but everyone at the table ordered ribeye, so i figured I'd just steal a bite! The fettuccine turned out to be a GREAT choice. If you love mushrooms, this is the greatest dish ever. the only thing I'd complain about, small portion. I wanted to delved myself deeper but alas, there was no more to be had. I got a taste of the ribeye and it was perfectly cooked and the sweet sauce was like the cherry topping. Dessert: Chocolate ganache, more like a flourless chocolate cake with vanilla gelato and cherry syrup, not a fan of cherries and chocolate, but it wasn't that horrible. Other desserts ordered at my table, butterscotch pudding with salted caramel - I didn't think I would like it, but oh it was decadent. service - no complaints, waiter was helpful and funny. what gives this place the extra boost to 5 stars...ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF BREAD. I love when restaurants have good bread and they don't skimp. and we definitely got a lot of bread. LOVE IT. read more

4.5 stars Sorrellina is a great fine dining experience in Boston. We went together as a whole team, and had a wonderful time. For the food alone, I would probably have given five stars, but there were a few things that were off at the start of the meal that prevent me from giving 5 stars. First, we were a bit late for our reservation, but we called ahead to say that we would be late. The hostess told us that they'd only hold our table for 15 min. When we got there, she very huffily said that we were the first ones there. The restaurant was half empty. There was no reason for her to be so rude to us, especially given that we were a group of 7 people and going to spend a large amount of money on dinner. Then, we had a problem where we had a drink that we had had last time, and wanted to order again. This drink however was not what we expected & it turns out it's because they took the drink we wanted off the menu. We now had 6 drinks we didn't want. The waiter did a great job fixing the situation and offered to comp us the drinks, which was greatly appreciated. It also took a while to order in the beginning & the pacing was not the best throughout. For appetizers, the tuna tartare was amazing! Such a good combination of flavors, especially the mustard. The gnocchi was also extremely popular- the gnocchi was soft and tasty and the lobster was good as well. The octopus was just alright. The peppers made the dish a bit too hot for my taste. The salmon tartare was also just ok. The flavors didn't mix together as well as the tuna. The carpaccio also tasted a bit off- the flavors didn't meld together and the pear added a strange texture to the food. The burrata was also a fine choice- not the best burrata I've ever had, but solid choice. For the main dish, I had the filet mignon with the cauliflower puree instead of the mashed potatoes. It was very, very good. The filet was perfectly cooked and the sauce was a wonderful addition to the steak. I probably would have left off the onions in favor of more mushrooms, but pleased overall. The spinach is not good. It's soggy and not particularly tasty. The brussels sprouts were a solid addition to the meal. Everyone liked their main course. The Milanese was ordered by two different people and it took up a whole plate! It was great, as was the polenta. We also ordered the short ribs and the sturgeon which also got good reviews. Finally, the desserts. We asked the waiter to bring us 3 of his favorites. Two of them were unmemorable. The doughnuts were nothing special and the tiramisu also was unmemorable. The semifreddo however is spectacular. Absolutely fantastic. It was chilled and had some crunchy bits in it. Great desssert. They also brought us complementary caramel chocolate truffles which were very, very good. Generally, a strong team dinner. Not sure I would go back if not going for work. read more

A classy but modern setting - it's a good ambiance for either a romantic date with your significant other or a nice night out with a few close friends. My visit fell under the former category (we came to celebrate an anniversary), and while I wasn't wow-ed out of my pants, I nevertheless enjoyed a pleasant evening here. As a starter, we ordered the eggplant rollatini, which was better than I would've thought. The eggplant was perfectly gooey and hot, with a good amount of umami flavoring. Easily one of the better variations of eggplant I've tried. For entrees, we ordered the Maccheroncelli (they claim to be wagyu beef meatball dish, which I'm inclined to believe because these were definitely a huge step up from what you get in your standard cafeteria spaghetti-and-meatballs) and the Veal (not gonna lie, I think I may have enjoyed the truffle whipped potato even more than the veal itself - I'm just such a huge truffle fan that if I see it in the description, I *have* to get it). Finally, we ended the evening with the Cioccolato, which I cannot describe enough how much I love... They take "warm molten" to a whole new level, and I swear even the gelato was one of the best I've had (or maybe I was too busy enjoying the chocolate cake to notice any potential disappointments...) Would come back just for this dessert. read more

I think I truly fell a little in love with Sorellina when they brought my grandmother and mother black napkins (to replace the standard whites we were given) so as not to get lint on their black trousers. Still swooning over that attention to detail -- but, in terms of the food, although it was wonderful, I didn't withhold the 5-star because the food was anything but delish, but if my 5s are Alinea, etc, it seems silly to just give 'em out for free right? I like to make a girl work for it. To begin, the wine list is totally approachable -- none of us know anything abt wine, and we all enjoyed everything that was brought -- and more importantly, when my delightful grandmother requested a vodka on the rocks in A WINE GLASS rather than a tumbler (lady doesn't eff around), they happily brought it to her. Win. I could have easily just eaten the warm, pillowy, and perfectly crunch bread they provided, but fortunately we also branched into their salmon tartare, beet salad, arugula salad, and veal/tuna carpaccio starters -- presentation was gorgeous, but more importantly, everything was flavorful and bright. Interesting. For mains we got a little less diverse as a team....85% of the table got the scallops (succulent and soft -- I could have eaten at least 50 of them), but apparently the lamb was equally fantastic. Oh, and the side of truffle fries is worth every bit of fried glory. Desserts were nice, the star being the homemade doughnuts and keffir lime sorbet. Nevertheless, I'd rather gorge on savories than spare room for dessert. Din will easily run $120/pp, depending on how many courses/glasses you get -- we all did 3 courses and had a glass of wine, but I guess it could be done for less. Entrees are around $40-45 and starters are around $20. Worth the splurge. read more

A must stop if you're in the Boston area! Started our evening off with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and proceeded to indulge in their fabulous arugula salad. Every bite of that salad is unique and savory. Next up was the eggplant rollatini which blew my mind, they were bite size but definitely enough to share. I ordered the fettuccini(appetizer portion) and it was cooked to perfection! They even covered my main dish while I stepped out to the ladies room. The ambience and the superb service made our last night in Boston memorable. Thank you Sorellina!!!! read more

A very chic restaurant close to our hotel near Copley Square, but hard to spot--you almost have to know where it is to get there. The menu isn't the most traditional we've run into, and we had difficulty choosing entrees, but the food was very good. I began with about eight east coast oysters on the half shell, served with a cucumber mignonette and topped with a lemon granita--fantastic! My wife had a bone-in veal cutlet ala Milanesa, and I enjoyed a dish of veal ravioli in a veal stock. Our server seemed a little condescending, but otherwise a great experience. read more

Sorellina is my favorite restaurant. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday this past weekend and we had the most romantic evening. The decor is beautiful, very chic and modern. I highly recommend requesting Kirk as your server, he was extremely helpful. We needed some guidance and he went over the menu and wine list, recommending some excellent choices. Sometimes the wait-staff at upscale places tend to be condescending, but he made us feel comfortable. I ordered the Insalata and he ordered the Romaine to start, both were amazing and portions were not at all skimpy. Both of us ordered the Sirloin with gorgonzola potatoes. Sexy to eat. Every last bite! We finished off with the dessert special, which was amazing as well. Also, if you get dessert, order the sparkling dessert white wine. It was the most amazing fruity wine I have ever had! Can't wait to go back. It is pricey, but definitely worth saving for. read more

I wish our waiter was fired. The others seem okay. Went for pre-fix. Food, not very memorable, the usual BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP, STEAK, PORK CHOPS. Decor, very nice. read more

Modern. Swanky. Classy. Fun. Energized. I really enjoyed myself here for my birthday dinner. The decor and the art was really cool and a little bit different and the food was top notch. Faves of the evening: truffled tagliatelle with wild mushrooms, wild mushroom soup. The steak tartare was pretty good but had a slight hint of sweetness from the onions that I don't prefer. Good wine. Good service. I'm sold. read more

I go here quite a bit, and it's always perfect in my book. Great service, a bit elegant but comfortable ambience, and the food is amazing. My personal favorites are the steaks (filet and ribeye) and pastas (fettucine with truffle, and kobe meatballs). The wine list is also top notch. Sorellina is in my Boston top 5. read more

So glad that I've finally gotten the chance to dine at Sorellina. The restaurant is definitely in simple terms fancy/fine dining aka knowing the right utensils for your bread and salad (psh who made that rule anyways). Here were my picks for the night: - Salmon tartare: It's a small portion for exactly one person. They paired it with a salted breadstick which was a great taste combo with the salmon. It was fresh, zesty and salty. You really could taste the sweetness from the salmon. - Ribeye entree: The ribeye was honestly to die for! I really enjoyed the flavors that were marinated into the steak. I could taste the wine from the steak which gave it the savory sweetness taste. Really a big fan of this. - Panna Cotta: It's a vanilla bean pudding basically with fruits on top and white chocolate stencil. It's not too sweet and if I didn't read the menu I couldn't tell that it was vanilla bean. Not bad but not to die for. Really good experience here at Sorellina and I usually expect myself to be a little hungry afterwards but portions were absolutely perfect. My only only ehh moment was I couldn't help but notice that the customer service was just not there. Minimal interaction from the host to the server but the food made up for it! read more

I ate too much when I went to Sorellina, but it was so hard to resist all of the wonderful items on the menu! I normally forgo the appetizers, but they have something on the menu called fonduta, which is basically a fondue for one (it could easily feed three). It was amazing - wonderfully melted cheese with sopressata and crusty rustico bread. I should have made this my meal and stopped there. But alas, my eyes were much bigger than my stomach, and I got the scallops, which were sweet, juicy and filled with flavor. Though dessert was tempting, I finally came to my senses and opted out, though everything looked delectable. Maybe next time I pass up the apps and go with the dessert. Another positive were the drinks, which were great...I had a perfectly made dirty Sapphire martini with extra olives. It was a superb concoction and if I hadn't been with a group from work, I may have gotten one or four more :-). The wine list was ample and our table got wine during our meal, both bottles which were good (though the red was the slightly better choice than the white....the names are escaping me, though). Beyond the food and libations, the atmosphere is chic, not stuffy. The dining room is well appointed, clean, decorated in a minimalist tone, and lit by the perfect amount of candlelight For a large room, it wasn't nearly as loud as one would expect it to be, even when the restaurant hits capacity. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, not to mention how friendly she was, offering excellent advice and recommendations from the menu. One person in our party RAVED about the Brussel sprouts he had during a prior visit and though they weren't even on the menu that evening, our waitress checked with the kitchen and a plate of wonderfully sauteed sprouts appeared during dinner. It is so nice to see a daring, lovely, and upscale Italian restaurant in Boston, after spending so many years relegated to the options in the North End. Sorellina is the perfect place to take someone for a night on the town, a special dinner, or a fun celebration. I would give it five stars, but due to the fact it's a bit pricey, I'm not sure I'll be going there nearly as often as I would like to :-). read more

Sorellina is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I've been here probably half a dozen times and every time its a good as the first. The first time I have ever came here we had ordered the scallop with celery root puree and truffles. Let me just say the truffles they had put top of the dish was such a generous portion, it was amazing. It was also the first time I had celery root puree and I fell in love. Another thing that is amazing is the lobster gnocchi. That sauce they have on it is amazing. Currently, I'm drooling over those two dishes as I am writing this review. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Sorellina's this weekend for a flat-out excellent and wonderfully romantic dinner. Location: odd spot sandwiched between the rear of the Boston Public Library and Copley, right at the Mass Pike on-ramp. Atmosphere: honestly a little larger than I would prefer, but it does give you a little room to stretch out. Spacious dining room with high ceilings with funky boxed-chandeliers. The decor is hip and funky, even if the clientele isn't (it was an odd mix of blue hairs and yuppies, but everyone was certainly friendly). Staff: very attentive (without haunting us or sitting in our laps) and knowledgable - our waitress gave us some excellent recommendations and was well-versed in the menu and even provenance of the ingredients. Food: utterly fantastic!!! My appetizer of buffalo mozzerella (from Italy) with dates (from Morocco) was the star of the evening...mouth-wateringly delicious! I also had the chicken and then a wonderful warm, rich chocolate cake dessert with praline ice cream. And best of all, the portion sizes were VERY generous. Drinks: we opted to taste various cocktails instead of going for a bottle of vino. I loved the grapefruit martini and will have to return to try all of their funky, seasonal, delicious-sounding drinks! The verdict: a great choice for celebrating or for a special ocassion (new job!). Don't know how soon we'll be back (I still prefer Dali or Ten Tables - both have a little more character), but I highly recommend it! read more

Ate here with my wife during restaurant week...what a bargain. The food was amazing, from appetizer to dessert. I highly recommend their pasta courses, splitting one with your date is a good amount of food for an app. The service was probably the best I've had, ever. We ordered a bottle of wine and when our server set it down, it was a little wobbly due to the way the tablecloth was laid on the table...no big deal, we just needed to be careful. Without us saying a word about it, our server came back with a little metal tray to stabilize it. This is why I sucked when I was a waiter myself, I just could not pay attention to details as seemingly trivial as this. It made a difference though. Word of caution: their normal, non-restaurant week prices are pretty expensive. You're looking at a couple hundred at least. read more

I had been waiting for a while to check out Sorellina, and the only thing I am upset about it how long it took me to go! Hands down one of, if not the best dinner I have had in Boston. From the Lobster Gnocci appetizer to the amazing meatballs..I was impressed from the first bite! I loved my salmon entree, although I had to order a side..it came out solo. My date ordered the Veal, and was equally as satisfied as I was. One of the best parts of the meal was our server Ivy. We absolutley LOVED her! I would recommend asking for her on your visit! From the start she was so friendly, and so on top of everything. We are looking forward to going back to see her. So, overall Sorellina is worth every penny! read more

Pros: - Ambiance: Modern and elegant. - Food: Wine was great, I had the Tuna tartar followed by the Kobe Beef Meatball dish which was both delicious and presented very nicely. The truffle fries were very good. - Service: Attentive and knowledgeable. Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for. read more

I came here last night for an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. I loved the ambiance and decor. Very stylish and sophisticated. Our waitress, Nancy, was awesome. We ordered the grilled octupus with squid ink cous cous as an appetizer. Superb with just the right amount of spicy! Our entrees consisted of the tortellini and the lamb ragu bolognese. Although the bolognese was just so-so, the tortellini took the gold. I could have eaten that tortellini for days....... so delish. We were so full but still decided to order the almond torta for dessert. The perfect end to a great meal. I'd definitely come back again to try something different. Thank you Sorellina for a wonderful anniversary dinner! read more

I visited Sorellina with two companions for a work related dinner. This was my first foray into the $$$$ range in Boston and it did not disappoint. For a first course we had the Tuna Tartare, Polpo and the Burrata. The second and third of these were per the recommendation of our waiter who did a great job. All three dishes were delicious, it's genuinely hard to say which of the seafood options I preferred. For a main I had the Veal saltimbocca and my companions had the filet mignon and gnocchi. They both appeared to enjoy their dishes. The veal was cooked perfectly and one of my coworkers observed that I smiled at the first bite. I'm pretty sure I was smiling for every bie after as well. We finished with desserts, I had the Gelato, which in keeping with the trend was also amazing. The atmosphere and service was perfect. The restaurant was full yet we had no difficulty hearing one another, nor could we hear conversation from any neighboring tables. Prices are what you can read on the menu. Definitely not something to do too often (though I may be back tomorrow). My four star rating is largely based on lack of experience with restaurants in this price range. I have no complaints, but I would be astounded if I did at $100 a head. read more

The food is very flavorful, but most of the items are very overpriced. I ordered the truffle mushroom fettuccine and my fiancee ordered the lobster gnocchi. I ordered the full size $36. It was pretty flavorful, but not worth almost $40 for a pasta. The gnocchi comes in one size and I thought it was really small. We ordered the warm cake for dessert. We got there around 5pm on a Friday and sat at the bar. The bartender was extremely knowledgable and was able to provide a lot of information about the menu with great recommendations. Was the food good? Yes. Was the food the best I've had? No. Will I go back there? Probably not. read more

My go-to restaurant for a small get-together, catch-up, or girls night. As a vegetarian, the truffle pasta is fantastic. Highly recommend!!

We had a Christmas eve dinner at this place and overall the experience was mediocre. When we arrived the hostess sat us right by the kitchen/office door and we could see the back office which was unpleasant. We asked the server if we could be moved and he unwillingly moved us to a better table. We made an order of two apps and two main courses, however the server made a mistake and brought three appetizers (double order of octopus). The octopus was not tasty at all as it was way over seasoned with salt. The gnocchi were also very very over seasoned but weren't too bad. The service was rushed and the servers were very cold and unfriendly. read more

The best!!! You want an unbelievable Italian dinner, look no further. Perfect for a date night or a place to impress your parents or friends when they come to visit. Get the lobster gnocchi, and I bet it will be the best food you've ever eaten!! read more

This is the sort of place where you're eating regular Italian food and also feel like you are also hip with your fine dining. (Granted the Italian food is elevated.) The service was excellent. We only had brief encounters with our server; however, the sommelier was very helpful and the woman who bussed/cleaned our table was totally on top of it. We had the meatballs (had to, based on the reviews here) and I had the seasonal butternut squash and black truffle special. They lived up to the high expectations! I was also here for Restaurant Week a long time ago and this was definitely one of the best and most memorable places I went to over the many years. read more
