    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.

    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.

    I really enjoyed our dinner at Sorellina. The restaurant's entrance was hidden by some trees, so my friend and I wandered around awhile until we found it. The waitress was very helpful in making some recommendations. We were surprised at how much we liked the sourdough round. We ordered the white asparagus, tuna tartare, gnocchi, polpo, branzino, and scallops. My favorites were the tuna tartare, gnocchi, and scallops. The polpo was also very good. They also recognized that we were sharing our dishes and therefore thoughtfully provided serving utensils for each dish.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Veal Saltimbocca
    Ellen S.

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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

    One of my favorite dining experiences all year…read more Service- exceptional. Everyone interacted with was amazing. My server had excellent recommendations and was super knowledgeable about the menu and the popularity of items. Food- we got 5 dinner items and 1 dessert item and that was enough for two. Zaatar Bread- our favorite item. Bread was thick but light. Buttery but not overpowering. And the dip! Wow was the dip so good. Whipped Feta- delicious but could've use 2 more chips as the dip to chip ratio was off. Sultans Delight- my wife's favorite dish. Super tender and extremely flavorful. Lamb Shwarma (special)- so good and I hope they add it to their menu going forward. Mussels- mixed. I enjoyed them but my wife did not like them as much. May have been textural for her, but I enjoyed it. Baked Alaska- a must. From the presentation to the flavors- amazing! Can't wait to come back, they earned their Michelin recognition for sure.

    Oh, Oleana! Tucked…read moreaway in Cambridge, Oleana is a cozy Mediterranean restaurant serving small plates. My partner and I managed to snag a last-minute reservation on a Tuesday night, and even at 9 p.m. the restaurant was still lively. Between the beautiful decor and warm atmosphere, it made for a great date night spot, though it was admittedly a bit dim (apologies in advance for the photo quality!) Between the two of us, we ended up ordering quite a few dishes: Whipped Feta (4/5): This was good, though I was hoping for a stronger roasted pepper flavor. Nothing wrong with it, but it didn't quite stand out. Interestingly, we overheard the table next to us mention the same thing, so maybe this one's a bit hit or miss. Spinach Falafel (4/5): Another solid dish. It was bright, colorful, and fresh, though a little messy to eat. Our waiter rather bluntly told us to "just wrap it and bite," which caught us a little off guard, but it was good nonetheless. Fatteh (4.5/5): Our favorite appetizer of the night. The creamy roasted cauliflower paired so well with the crispy pita, and I especially loved the sweetness the onions brought to the dish. Sultan's Delight (5/5): As everyone else says, this is the one to order. The beef was incredibly tender and rich. In hindsight, I almost wish we'd had the potatoes from the Adana Kebab to eat alongside it because they would've been the perfect accompaniment. Vermont Quail Kebab (5/5): Tied with the Sultan's Delight as our favorite entrée. The quail was juicy, well-spiced, and surprisingly easy to eat. I'd absolutely order this again. Adana Kebab (4/5): By this point, I think we were simply getting full. The kebab itself was good, but not nearly as memorable as the other meat dishes. Ironically, the potatoes and peppers that came with it might have been my favorite part--they would've paired perfectly with the Sultan's Delight. Baked Alaska (4.5/5): Delicious. The toasted meringue paired wonderfully with the coconut ice cream, though we were a little mixed on the passionfruit caramel, which came across slightly burnt and more acidic than expected. After a while the meringue did become quite sweet, so we ended up pairing some with the Muhallebi. Dark Chocolate Muhallebi (3.5/5): Yes...we ordered two desserts. I was mostly drawn in by the kaymak ice cream, but the Muhallebi itself was almost completely unsweetened. I'm usually all for desserts that aren't overly sweet, but this one leaned more savory than I expected. We actually ended up adding some leftover meringue from the Baked Alaska to balance it out. Looking back, given both our appetites (and our wallets), I think we would've been perfectly happy just ordering the Baked Alaska. Overall, Oleana was a lovely spot for a date night. While it didn't quite live up to the lofty expectations I'd built up from all the praise, we still had a really enjoyable meal. Our main waiter was kind, and I appreciated that the dishes came out in rounds, giving us plenty of time to eat and chat. The meat dishes were definitely the highlights for us, but overall there's a lot to like here.

Tucked in the corner of a cozy residential neighborhood, Desfina has that laid-back vibe. There's indoor seating if you want to escape the heat and outdoor seating. It was hot as hell- but we picked a table outside anyway. The service is exactly how I like it. Warm, friendly and attentive without someone checking on you every 10 seconds. Everyone was just full of smiles and it made our dinner that much special. Instead of going for big main plates, my daughter and I went for starters. The fried calamari is a must and tasty. The batter is light and crisp and actually stays on the calamari instead of sliding off. The grilled octopus is silky- the kind that melts the second you bite into it. None of that chewiness you get from places that don't know how to make a grilled octopus. This one in Desfina, is how it's supposed to be done! A Greek salad was a given.

We arrived a little early and were escorted to a cozy lounge before being guided to our table, a corner spot right under the restaurant's big windows. From the moment you walk in, you can see how elegant it is, and yet it's not pretentious at all. I spotted people in sneakers and Birkenstocks alongside others who were dressed up which worked out since we'd spent the day sightseeing and were dressed a bit more casual. We started with the escargot, which was delicious, served out of the shell with toasted sourdough. The complimentary bread was also some of the best I've had and I'm not just saying that because it was free. The wine list was extensive but had something for every price range. We picked a delicious Bordeaux for just $80, which was less than I expected to pay at a restaurant of this caliber. My husband ordered the Cornish hen and I had the duck on a bed of risotto. Both were amazing, and the portions were huge. I ended up taking half my duck home which I really wasn't expecting. The duck was delicious but my husband's hen might have been just a bit better; it was so juicy. We also got a side of the horseradish mashed potatoes; divine. I went in expecting small plates and precious portions like most elevated French spots so this was a welcome surprise. We ended with the crème brûlée, it had the most perfect "glassy" top; might be the best I've had. The service was next level throughout.

The salmon was very overpriced for how much they offered; $27 for a piece of salmon only a few inches across was insulting, but apparently that is just how it is served there (picture below, you can see the pieces of broccoli are almost as big as the fish!) The other dish we got was the chicken sandwich, which is cut into two halves. The first half was normal but there was basically no chicken on the second half of the sandwich, it was essentially all bread. We brought it up to a manager and they got us a new piece of chicken, which fit entirely alongside the old piece of chicken on the bun because it was so small. On top of that we had to wait around nearly half an hour after finishing and had to flag down a waiter to get our check and go. The service overall was very slow. I will never come back to this restaurant.
