Experience Sorellina

Chef/Owner Jamie Mammano presents a modern take on regionally inspired Italian-Mediterranean cuisine. Featuring a unique wine list of hidden Italian gems, sophisticated service, and a warm-modern aesthetic, Sorellina offers a true feast for the senses.

Since January 2006, Sorellina has anchored Boston’s Copley Square at 1 Huntington Avenue, across from the Boston Public Library. Among the best Italian restaurants in Boston, MA, Sorellina pairs a warm-modern dining room with regional Italian-Mediterranean cooking that unfolds through house-made pastas, seafood, and perfectly grilled meats, each plate crafted with the finest ingredients and expert care.

Nearly two decades in Copley Square have made Sorellina a destination for celebrations, pre-theater dining, and evenings that call for something memorable. Whether you are searching for the best Italian restaurants in Boston or you already know precisely where you are going, we invite you to dine with us.

About Us

The Kitchen Behind the Table

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef/Owner Jamie Mammano established his reputation among the country’s most highly regarded chefs over ten years in the kitchens of the Four Seasons Hotel Company. As Executive Chef of the Four Seasons Boston, he elevated its dining room, Aujourd’hui, to the number one ranking in the Zagat Survey of Boston Restaurants. He has been invited to cook as a guest chef at the famed James Beard House, and after opening Mistral in 1997, he created Sorellina in January 2006. 

That pedigree still sets the standard in the Sorellina kitchen, where the pastas are made by hand and the menu turns with the seasons. Classic Italian technique meets modern execution in every dish, prepared with the finest ingredients and expert care.

Private Dining At Sorellina

Whether it is a corporate luncheon or a social dinner, large or small, Sorellina works with you every step of the way to ensure your vision is incorporated into every detail of your event.

Sorellina hosts private events as full restaurant buyouts only, which means the entire warm, modern dining room becomes yours for the occasion rather than a partitioned room within a busy restaurant. A full buyout suits corporate dinners, milestone celebrations, wedding rehearsal dinners, and anniversaries, and it brings the whole of our kitchen and service team to your event. Our team will guide you through menu selection, timing, and the details that make an evening feel effortless to your guests.

Visiting Our Italian Restaurant in Boston, MA

What is the dress code at Sorellina?

Sorellina is a sophisticated dining room in Copley Square, and most guests arrive in smart casual to business attire. Jackets are not required. Our guests tend to dress for the occasion, and the room is at its most inviting when they do.

Reservations are recommended, particularly on weekends, during theater and symphony season, and around the holidays. You may reserve online through our reservations page, and if you are planning something larger, our team will work with you to find the right table.

Valet parking is available at 20 Blagden Street for 30 dollars. We do not validate at garages, but we recommend 2 Copley Place as the closest option. For guests within a two-mile radius of the restaurant, we also offer a complimentary car service upon request.

Italian-Mediterranean cuisine draws on the cooking of Italy’s coastal and southern regions, where the Mediterranean shapes what reaches the table: olive oil rather than heavy butter, seafood alongside pasta and grilled meats, and vegetables, herbs, and citrus used generously. It favors a handful of excellent ingredients treated simply over elaborate preparation. At Sorellina, that tradition is interpreted with a modern sensibility and refined technique.

Italy has no single national cuisine. Each region cooks differently according to its geography and history: Emilia-Romagna is known for egg pastas and long-braised ragù, Liguria for pesto and seafood, Tuscany for grilled meats and beans, and Sicily for citrus, seafood, and North African influence. A regional Italian menu draws from those distinct traditions rather than flattening them into a generic Italian-American blend. Sorellina’s menu is built that way, then given a modern, chef-driven interpretation.

Yes, and it is one of the pleasures of the room. Our wine list focuses on hidden Italian gems, meaning lesser-known producers and bottles you are unlikely to find elsewhere in Boston, and our service team knows it well. Tell your server what you are ordering and what you tend to enjoy, and they will guide you to the right glass or bottle.

Not at all. Italian menus are traditionally structured in courses, from antipasti through primi, secondi, and dolci, and you are welcome to make your way through them at whatever pace suits the evening. Many guests build a meal from a pasta and a shared plate; others take the full journey. Both are exactly right.

ABOUT Marga Raffucci

After graduating from high school in Puerto Rico in 1995, Marga Raffucci went on to study Comparative Literature at the University of Puerto Rico. She then went on to further her education through studying Law at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, graduating in January of 2004. Marga worked with her father at his law firm for about two years and started to realize that continuing a career in law was not her life’s dream.

Marga spent some time trying to figure out what it was that she truly enjoyed. Finding herself reading culinary magazines and planning her travels around different cultures, Marga made it a point to sample the regional cuisines. She sat back one day and said to herself, “Wait a minute, I think I have something here”, and all signs clearly pointed to her true passion for food.

Her discovery lead her to the Aaron Restaurant located inside the Horned Dorsett Primavera Hotel, in Rincón, Puerto Rico. One of Puerto Rico’s most well known restaurants, Marga embarked on an apprenticeship. In October 2007, Marga then moved to Boston and began an externship as a line cook at Aujourd’hui in the Four Seasons Hotel. In October of 2008, Marga graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts.

Marga joined the team at Sorellina in November of 2008 as a line cook. Proving herself a valued employee, within six months she was promoted to Sous Chef. For three years she honed her skills and craft and in September of 2012, Marga was offered the position of Executive Chef. Her culinary background brings many strengths and culinary distinctions, an asset to the Sorellina kitchen.

ABOUT Paul Roiff

As one of Boston’s most acclaimed real estate developers, and known for pursuing projects that the real estate “establishment” has often deemed too daring, Paul possesses a drive and vision for urban architectural splendor that has led to the renaissance of some of Boston’s most treasured communities. Paul, who has been working in the field of real estate since the age of 18, originally planned to pursue a career in music, but found himself being drawn towards a love for urban architecture.

Throughout his career, Paul, who earned a baccalaureate and MBA from Boston University, and a JD degree from Suffolk Law School, has worked on the acquisition and renovation of Boston real estate in such diverse areas as historic rehabilitation, mill restorations, HUD projects, , the development of hundreds of residential lofts in Boston’s Leather district and the development of a luxury 28-acre beachfront cabana club in Florida

In 1997, together with partners Jamie Mammano and Seth Greenberg, Paul built and became a co-owner of Mistral, a French/Mediterranean bistro located in one of his most successful developments, Boston’s Albert A. Pope Building. Quickly after the opening, Mistral was named one of the “Top 25 New Restaurants in America” by Esquire Magazine, “Sexiest Bar” by Food & Wine, and earned four “Best of Boston” awards from Boston Magazine.

His first foray into the luxury hotel world, Paul renovated a 1903 Beaux Arts building to create XV Beacon in January of 2000. In developing the hotel, Roiff adhered to the vision of a classic and elegant environment combined with modern style that would provide an unforgettable service experience for travelers, as well as a culinary destination, The Federalist, with an atmosphere reminiscent of the world’s most prestigious private clubs.

Paul followed up the success of Mistral and The Federalist, which is now Mooo, with three other restaurants: Sorellina in January 2006 and L’Andana in 2007, which he owns in conjunction with Jamie and The Columbus Hospitality Group. The latest additions to CHG are The Inn at St. Botolph, a limited service boutique hotel & the sister property of XV Beacon, and Ostra, a contemporary Mediterranean seafood restaurant. Serving as president of Heath Properties, a real estate development and finance company, Paul has also served on the board of directors of a professional software company, and as a director of Capitol Bancorp in Boston.

ABOUT Jamie Mammano

From the day that Chef Jamie Mammano opened the doors to Mistral in 1997, his biggest culinary venture yet was destined to become a legend of the Boston dining scene. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, Jamie established a reputation for himself amongst the country’s most highly-regarded chefs during stints at The Jockey Club and Le Pavillion Restaurant in Washington DC, as the chef for the United States Ambassador to Spain, and 10 years spent in the kitchens of the Four Seasons Hotel Company, where he honed his culinary skills at the company’s Washington DC, Seattle, Chicago and Boston properties. While serving as Executive Chef for the Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Jamie single-handedly catapulted its dining room, Aujourd’hui, to the #1 ranking in the Zagat Survey of Boston Restaurants in 1995, and soon after readers of Boston Magazine chose Aujourd’hui as the #1 restaurant in Boston and Condé Nast Traveler named it the #4 restaurant in the country.

Seeking the next big challenge, Jamie left the Four Seasons, and along with partners Paul Roiff and Seth Greenberg, created the concept for Mistral, a French/Mediterranean bistro in Boston’s South End. Through crafting the menu, hiring the staff, handpicking the tableware, choosing the décor and designing the kitchen, Jamie was able to give life to the restaurant he had always dreamed of and that Boston diners could not wait to frequent. Throughout the past 13 years, Jamie and Mistral have consistently delivered excellent food, exceptional service, and garnered numerous accolades including “Top 25 New Restaurants in America” by Esquire Magazine, “Sexiest Bar” by Food & Wine, and four “Best of Boston” awards from Boston Magazine. Jamie has appeared on NBC’s “Today Show” as well as CNN’s “On the Menu.” In June 1999, Nation’s Restaurant News named Mistral as one of “5 Hottest Restaurants in Boston” and in July of the same year, Jamie was invited to be a guest chef at the famed James Beard House.

In November 2005, Jamie and Paul followed up their success when Paul made Jamie a partner in The Federalist. The team then opened Sorellina in January 2006, offering regional Italian-Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist, a unique wine list focusing on hidden Italian gems, upbeat and sophisticated service, and a warm-modern design. In August 2007, The Federalist was transformed to Mooo, a modern steakhouse inside the XV Beacon Hotel. The latest venture, L’Andana in Burlington, MA, opened in October 2007, focusing on Tuscan Wood-Grilled cuisine. In 2013, Mammano and Roiff opened their newest concept, Ostra, a contemporary Mediterranean seafood restaurant. Ostra provides a sophisticated and inviting dining room with an elegant bar and piano lounge, as well as an exclusive private dining space.
