Boston restaurant has a hit!

🍴 Sorellina: Once a Top 3 Boston Italian Spot—Now a Disappointing Letdown This used to be my go-to for special occasions: fine-dining vibes, elegant decor, and reliably delicious food that made it perfect for dates or friend meetups. But after a recent revisit (my first in years), I’m crossing it off the list. Overpriced, underwhelming, and frustratingly slow—here’s why. 🌟 The Only Highlight Oysters 🦪 • The meal peaked first: Fresh, sweet oysters topped with tiny herbs and a zesty lime granita. Bright, balanced, and the table’s unanimous favorite. 😐 The "Meh" Dishes Tuna Tartare 🍣 • Spicy with a hint of wasabi, but served with rock-hard crackers—ruined the texture. Foie Gras 🦢 • Creamy, chilled liver pâté with a subtle wine kick, paired with warm, buttery bread. I enjoyed it, but it’s not enough to save the meal. Octopus 🐙 • Dry, overly salty tentacles. The black squid-ink pasta pearls underneath were visually interesting but flavorless—just a gimmick. ❌ The Major Flops Pasta 🍝 Maccheroncelli with Meatballs: A "large" portion had 6 thick noodles (one per person in our group of 6). Underdone (not al dente—straight-up raw in spots). The meatballs were fine, but the sauce was greasy with overpowering butter. Rabbit Shell Pasta: The pasta itself was properly al dente, but the rabbit had an off-putting, gamey taste (maybe just me, but no one else finished theirs). Mains 🥩 Ribeye: Juicy at first, but quickly became cloyingly fatty. Veal Chop: Bland, tough, and forgettable—what even was this? Lobster "Dish": A tiny sliver of lobster paired with a huge chunk of cod. False advertising, and the fish was dry. 🕒 The Final Straw: Service Wait Time: 2.5 hours total, even with us rushing staff to clear plates and bring the next course. No apologies, no explanations—just indifference. 📍 The Verdict Price: ~$140+/person for 70% fullness and zero satisfaction. Insane. Vibe: Still pretty, but the magic’s gone—now just overpriced and underdelivers. Save your money. There are better Italian spots in Boston that actually care about their food. #BostonItalian #FineDiningFail #DisappointingMeal #BostonFood
