Sophia's Grotto

I agree, Sophia's Grotto is a grat date night place. Especially nice in the warmer months to sit outside in the courtyard. Great small plates and a good wine selection.

Sophia's Grotto is a good place to take a date. Its small, so you have to sit close and the plates are pretty small so there are no awkward doggie bags to take home. The food is good but a bit pricey, but like I said, good for a date. Its too fancy to be the kind of place you call in an order or eat at regularly though. The menu has enough quirks to justify the high price tag but it seems more like affectation then daring do. Its only a good restaurant if you score.

Sophia's Grotto is the perfect destination for an evening out. Tucked in the courtyard of 22 Birch St, their only entrance is secluded and gives it an intimate charm we don't find often in our big city. The Grotto offers a wide range of authentic Italian cuisine. My faves are the baby arugula and prosciutto salad followed by the pan seared scallops. Pizzas are always creative and cooked to perfection. Sophia's Grotto carries a full liquor license and their own Grotto Ale (my fave) along with their wine menu which is consistently Divine!! Sophia's offers wine tasting dinners and can accommodate large parties, with a small Italian village atmosphere. Check out SophiasGrotto.com for hours and directions. Bon appetit, and have a very pleasant evening!
