Sophia’s Grotto
About
Sophia’s Grotto is a Mediterranean and Italian restaurant tucked into a courtyard in Roslindale Village. Diners walk into the aroma of the wood oven and a warm, glowing room that one reviewer compared to a trattoria in a small Italian town. Outdoor dining is a big part of the appeal, and Boston Magazine has recognized the restaurant several times, including for its romantic patio and as one of the city’s 15 most romantic restaurants.
The restaurant opened in March 2005. Boston Magazine named it one of the 25 Best Al Fresco Spots in 2008, gave it a Best of Boston award for affordable al fresco dining in 2009, and named it Best Roslindale Restaurant in 2013. In 2024 the City of Boston honored it with a Boston Legacy Business Award. The kitchen offers dinner and drink menus, and a Pasta Sunday special pairs wine, salad and a pasta entree.
