Sophia’s Grotto
About
Set in a courtyard in Roslindale Village, Sophia’s Grotto serves Mediterranean dishes from a kitchen with a wood oven. Guests are greeted by the aroma of the oven and warm, glowing decor, and one reviewer said the place feels like a trattoria you might stumble upon in a quaint little Italian town. The restaurant calls itself a home away from home, and its outdoor dining has drawn repeated recognition from Boston Magazine.
Since opening in March 2005, the restaurant has collected a long list of honors. Boston Magazine has named it Best of Boston for Roslindale’s neighborhood restaurant, romantic patio and affordable al fresco dining, and listed it among the 15 most romantic restaurants in the city. The City of Boston gave it a Boston Legacy Business Award in 2024. Pasta Sundays, a set pairing of wine, salad and pasta, have returned to the menu.
