Best Italian Restaurants in South End

Fabulous food and cocktails. Ate at the bar and the bartender was spectacular. Always a great experience at Sorellna's

what a lovely restaurant. Beautiful decor and branding with the littlest but perfect touches. They had an extensive wine and cocktail menu. The wine that Sarah got was lovely. The two cocktails that I got were fabulous. started with the strait of Messina Which was a calabrian chili-infused tequila, prickly pear, lemon. perfect balance of spicy, but sweet yet still refreshing. The next drink I got was the improved spritz. This I think was an aperol spritz with olive juice. It was great. It had a perfect mind of the salty olive brine and the sweet aperol. I’ve had something like this once before, and I am a fan. This came in a tall rocks glass, which isn’t very cute, but at least it wasn’t a coupe glass. The focaccia was so mid. i was not a fan of this. the bottom was sooooo hard, and the bread itself was not light a fluffy. kinda dense and not enough salt in my opinion. It had rosemary on top, but the rest of the bread besides the top was very bland tasting. The next dish we had was the shaved Brussel sprout salad with roasted hazelnuts, pickled red onion, dried cranberries, and a Caesar vinaigrette dressing. This was yummy. It reminded me of a chopped salad the way that everything was very small and you could get every ingredient in the salad in one bite. then for mains, we both got the Bolognese tagliolini. This was a fabulous Bolognese sauce. You could tell that it had been cooking for a while. The spices were complex and it had a note of sweetness, which was surprisingly nice. The noodles were not al dente, but still very good. they were the Perfect size for me, as I don’t like a thick noodle. This was probably top 10 Bolognese that I’ve had in Boston for sure. we finished the night with a tiramisu. This is a delightful tiramisu. It was chocolate heavy without being overwhelming. All of the components were very well done and not one overshadowed anything else.

This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.

Pedro our server was so welcoming and knowledgeable!! Food and service was five star! Love the view and atmosphere! A must dining experience in Boston!
