The Grotto is a hidden gem. Laid back, fun, and family-friendly (but a bit classy too), with good food, a great wine list, and long-time staff that have it all covered. Find the Grotto! You'll be happy you did!

Very charming and good food! The wait staff were very kind and I loved the patio. However, the inside is WAY too dark for me. I enjoyed sitting outside but I don’t think I would come back if I had to sit inside.

Delicious pasta and entrees. We loved all of the food we had. The ravioli had so much flavor and the white wine sauce was delicious. Chicken parm was simply done right with deep flavor and comforting tastes. My mojito was great too. Vibes are definitely better on the outdoor patio than the indoor area which is nothing spectacular. Service was absolutely lovely. We’ll be back!

Sophia's Grotto on the patio during a summer night is one of the best parts of living in and around Roslindale. The service is always great and personable. The food is always spectacular (I love their paella). Great place for a date or girls night. Looking forward to my next visit here!

1st time @ Sophia's Grotto. The ambiance of the establishment is very intimate and small. Low dim light setting. The food was well seasoned & tasty.
Will return.

The food was outstanding!!!!!!! I ordered the Sirloin steak, and it was awesome! The place is very hidden in a alley. The inside is small, but it wasn’t crowded at all. I accidentally ate some of the steak before I took a photo 😂.

Adore this place. The sachetti was the most amazing food discovery of my life - it’s seriously outstanding. HIGHLY recommend visiting this gem & expanding your taste buds. Top notch food & service.

What a wonderful dining experience in the Roslindale neighborhood. Hidden in a cute alley, this is a charming Italian restaurant that is sure to please. We sat outside under heat lamps on a chilly night, and were very comfortable. The staff was prompt, attentive and very efficient. Most importantly the food was outstanding. We loved the crostini apps, and the various pasta entrees and specials. Everything was cooked to perfection- which made for a great evening!

Such a lovely place! I love that the outdoor seating is away from any active streets; it was a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food! The portions were very generous, making the prices super reasonable. Highly recommend for a romantic Italian dinner date!

Wonderful patio dining and atmosphere. We absolutely enjoyed the open face ravioli and the caseretti al pesto. The torino pizza is also delicious.
