Check had a duplicate charge. I was hoping for better but very little attention was given to our group of 4 celebrating a bday.

They were accommodating of us being vegetarian and vegan, doing a special pasta with tomato sauce. Service was friendly, and we felt the value was fair.

From the very first bite to the final spoonful of dessert, every course reflected La Morra’s motto: “Simple Ingredients. Time-honored Techniques.” They don’t just claim it—they live it. We began with a salad of strawberry, hazelnuts and greens that was nothing short of graceful. The balance of flavors was delicate and delightful, with a salad dressing that didn’t overwhelm but gently brought everything together in harmony. Next came a beautifully executed risotto—al dente perfection—paired with fresh pea greens and earthy mushrooms that made each bite a joy. The main course, Bistecca Alla Griglia, featured a wood-grilled hanger steak that was deeply flavorful and perfectly cooked to medium-rare as requested. But what truly stole our hearts was the porcini polenta—creamy, rich, and utterly “to die for.” The grilled asparagus alongside it was crisp-tender and seasoned just right. And just when we thought the evening couldn’t get better, dessert arrived: Bomboloni—Italian donut holes—served with a smooth, sweetened mascarpone that we’re still dreaming about. To accompany the meal, I ordered a Manhattan—and I must say, the bartender prepared the best, most flavorful version of this classic cocktail I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, richly layered, and impeccably crafted, it set the tone for everything that followed. But as exceptional as the food was, what truly elevated the experience was our server, Mike B. In all our years of dining, we can say without hesitation that Mike is the best server we’ve had. Gracious, friendly, prompt, and deeply professional, Mike brought warmth and attentiveness to every part of the evening. He struck the perfect balance—never overbearing, always thoughtful, and even took time to ask about our visit to Boston. His knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm added so much to the atmosphere. Thanks to Mike, we didn’t just have dinner—we had a memorable evening. As Mike mentioned, some menu items and preparations rotate with the seasons, and that alone is reason enough for us to return—again and again. Honestly, we could eat at La Morra every evening. If you're anywhere near Brookline, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. La Morra is a gem. Bravo to the kitchen, the staff, and especially to Mike B. for an unforgettable night.
