The waiter recommended an awesome white wine for us, and recommended the Octopus dish. I tried this dish and it changed my world- I can't stop thinking about it! The details of coat check, sound dispersing ceiling, kind staff, and an excellent food and drink menu made this a wonderful Valentine's Day spot. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for something delicious and romantic.
The entire experience was perfect, from the decor to the food. Waitstaff were very professional and attentive. Our meals were outstanding and the wine list and cordial list were epic. One of the finest meals we have had. My husband had the Cesar Salad and Veal. I had the Carpaccio and Scallops. Fantastic. I highly recommend.
After being seated from a reservation with a dinner date I had the oysters, wine, & filet mignon. One word. Delizioso! The waitress was down to earth and very friendly. I would recommend to anyone.
There's nothing to say that hasn't already been said. The service level and food quality at Sorellina could not be better. We had oysters first, perfect! Halibut, slightly rare, sensational. Last, the maccheroncelli. The dish is supposed to focus on the meatballs (don't get me wrong they are incredible) but to be honest they were an afterthought. The montepulciano sauce is so good I could have been served an old pillow case to eat it with and would still have been blow away. I won't ignore the talent of Mark, our primary server who obviously loves his job and his customers but I have to take my hat off to our secondary or "second server" Diana. Well done my dear. Impressive performance!
Our second time eating at Sorrllina Boston. First time we were amazed at the quality and amazing flavor of each dish. This second time didn't disappoint. We brought 4 guests with us and they were as delighted with the food as we were. Definitely a Boston destination.
Amazing as always! Started with the tuna tartare and the branzino crudo, and couldn’t help ordering the lobster gnocchi - too good to pass up! The halibut entree was also lovely.

Classic Italian fine dining restaurant that is decent for celebrating special occasions.
Stepping into Sorellina to celebrate a friend's birthday, we were disappointed by our initial reception. We found ourselves seated right by the kitchen, at a table with the heaviest foot traffic. This was a recurring experience I have noticed across CHG’s restaurants, including Ostra and Mistral, where we’ve found non-Caucasian patrons often relegated to less desirable spots. Despite Sorellina’s classy ambiance, the hectic surroundings made it challenging to focus on the meal during the first hour. The service, however, improved as the evening unfolded, making up for the rocky start.
From the appetizers, the Carpaccio emerged as a highlight. The subtle sweetness of the Vidalia onion jam, zesty lemon, grated Parmigiano, and crunchy croutons created a pleasing balance in flavors and contrasting textures that was undeniably satisfying. While the Bronzino crudo and Foie gras were enjoyable, they lacked the wow-factor we expected.
Our pasta exploration yielded two clear winners: the Gnocchi and the Ravioli. Both dishes exhibited impeccable textures. The gnocchi, with its enjoyable chewiness, and the perfectly textured ravioli, easily climbed to the top of our favorites list.
However, the main courses told a different story. Only the Ribeye managed to capture our interest. Seated on a bed of Vin Cotto sauce, the steak was a succulent spectacle of tenderness and flavor, superbly complemented by the fresh heirloom tomatoes and punchy gorgonzola picante. Regrettably, the Chicken and Veal Milanese fell short of our expectations.
Overall, our experience at Sorellina was a mixed bag - an acceptable choice for special occasions with a handful of stellar dishes, but balanced by its fair share of disappointments. Given the abundance of exceptional Italian restaurants in Boston, I'm uncertain if a return visit to Sorellina is in the cards.

Friendly service, nice selections of drinks, food was excellent. My favorite part was the ambiance and acoustics of the place. It’s not overly loud and you can have actual
conversations with your friends.
In my opinion tied with moo for the best Colombus group restaurant. A level above Ostra. All the food was amazing, I really recommend the octopus and the cavatelli pasta. The truffle fries were amazing. 9.2/10 super underrated restaurant. Coming back next weekend.
Beautiful ambient with a touch of luxury. High ceilings and lovely decoration. The food was amazing. Everything we ordered, consumed with atmost delight. We had fish, meat and pasta with some antipasti. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. The staff polite and willing. The check as expected.
