Courtyard Sweet
A trattoria with courtyard dining, hiding in plain sight
S
ophia’s Grotto is the very embodiment of a hidden gem. To find this cozy trattoria, walk through the Birch Street gate in Roslindale Village, where you’ll find a charming brick courtyard with ample sun during warm days, and decorative lights at night. Sophia’s wood-fired Spanish and Italian food is sure to warm your soul as much as its hearty paella, considerable wine list, homey Tuscan atmosphere, and al-fresco dining will. Templeton
