Sorellina

I came here on a whim. There was room at the bar for me for dinner. Fantastic waitstaff at the bar! I loved the butter squash ravioli. It had a lot of flavor. It was amazing! I also had the octopus appetizer too. It had a lot of flavor and some spice to it too. The wines are good too. I will return!

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.

Date night delights: Burrata, Malfadine, Salmon, Filet, Molten Lava Cake, Tiramisu served thoughtfully by Angelica in a sexy dimly-lit dining room. Highly recommend this gem.

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.

It was a fancy restaurant so they require a little bit formal attire rather than just casual look. Most dishes are very expensive but really worth them. I especially loved ribeye and gnocchi and will revisit here for them for sure. Recommend here for celebrating or dating ♥️♥️
