We went to Sophia's Grotto to celebrate my daughters girlfriend's birthday last night. It is located down a little alley, that magically transports you to Italy! We were greated at the door and asked if we had a reservation (which we did) we asked if we could sit out on the patio under the heat lamps. Even though the wind had a chill, it was so cozy out there! Our waitress was amazing, very invested in making our outing enjoyable! She took our drink and small plate order and they came back to the table quickly. Then we ordered our main dishes. ALL of the choices made by our table tasted amazing! We will definitely be back when we are in the area!

This place needs a pick me up!! Food was subpar for the prices!! They should knock off $10/plate. Needs a deep clean too. Server was really nice and the food did not take too long to come out.

The food is was very mediocre and overpriced. It didn’t have much taste. We had the Fried Calamari, Salmon fillet and the Chicken Parmesan. The service was alright.

Transported to a special hidden Italian village but in Roslindale. Artichoke heart appetizer was perfection! Open face raviolis and pizza were amazing. What a find! Our new favorite spot for Italian food. Great service! Wonderful experience!
Frankie, aka Frank the tank was an incredible staff member for this restaurant. Not only did he come over and put smiles on me and my girlfriend’s face but he went above and beyond to bring excellent service. This man’s on the path to greatness keep him on the staff at all costs. And the food was delicious by the way definitely coming back

A beautiful and relaxing atmosphere DOES NOT equal quality food. I'm tired of wasting my money and time at the expense of my taste buds because of falsely elevated reviews.

One of my favorite spots in Roslindale with arguably the best antipasto you’ll find. Awesome ambience that looks different than most Italian joints in Boston, strong and attentive staff, tasty drinks and overall just a fantastic place to have a meal or some drinks and an appetizer with friends.
Dangerous martinis and life-changing paella
