La Morra

We have the best experience here at La Morra. The food is at high quality and the owner sauces the vegetables from the local farmer weekly. The steak is significantly amazing, they roasted with the charcoal giving the intensity aroma of the steak. Overall, amazing restaurant with great customer service.

This is a gem. It's cozy with a large menu that is creative yet not too out-there. There's something for everyone and I went for the gnocchi and scallops. The dish was shockingly delicious! My friend got the truffle and spinach lasagna and loved it. All in all an amazing restaurant that I'd absolutely recommend to anyone.

I celebrated my 50th birthday with a private party on the 2nd floor of La Morra and it was perfect. Jen was great to work with in planning the event and catered to my gluten free diet. We had 40 people and it was the perfect size to accommodate plenty of places to sit plus a dj and dance floor. I think we could have fit another 10-15 people comfortably as well. The night of the event was perfect- we had a blast! The staff was wonderful and took good care of us making the night flow beautifully so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend La Morra for your next private party of 30-60 people. I thought it was amazing that we did not disturb the diners on the 1st floor- La Morra is quite solid and well built and handled the jumping and dancing and loud music perfectly. I think you may have some of my friends booking events at La Morra as well!!!

My partner and I did the 55 4 course meal. It was the perfect portion and delicious. It’s on the saltier side, but I love salty. The cocktail drinks was yummy too. I ordered the hanger steak and it was cooked to perfection. Will definitely come back!

It was such a pleasure to have our graduation dinner event for our daughter at La Morra. From the first interactions with Jen I knew that this was going to be an excellent experience, and indeed it was! We had 17 people with a pre-selected menu or three choices per course, antipasti, entree and dolci. A lovely cheese and meat board was sent to us first, as a delicious and unexpected surprise. If you haven't been to La Morra, I urge you to try it for yourself to enjoy the exquisite and authentic Italian cuisine with the freshest of ingredients, creative and traditional tastes and a very fine chef's touch in the kitchen. Cynthia who hosted and helped curate on site was terrific, and the ambience was perfect for a lovely, warm and personal event. You can hear the conversation in this space, you are not rushed, and the service is attentive and caring. I can't say enough how pleased all of the families were who participated - thank you Jen and team for a memory of a lifetime for all of us!

Overall a great experience, delicious food and good staff- as usual i have a few small criticisms but would be happy to dine here again. The salads were good - the pea caesar was better than a regular caesar in my opinion, though the arugula salad was my favorite for its freshness. The tagliatelle bolognese was delicious, with tender meat, though was a little bit too salty for my taste. Cornish hen and Halibut were both great. Plating was simple and appropriate for the dishes. For desert, the apple crisp was decent but not my favorite, maybe I prefer it to be more spiced and served with a bit more ice cream. The sorbet trio was nice, the passionfruit was delicious. I assume they scoop the sorbet into balls and freeze them, so they were frozen solid and very hard to eat initially- I appreciate that they werent melting however. The donut holes were lovely, crisp and soft inside. The staff were kind and things moved quickly. The interior has a nice ambiance and is perfect for a special occasion.

A Dream Dinner at La Morra – A New Favorite in Brookline My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Morra, and we can wholeheartedly say it was one of the finest meals we've ever experienced. 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.

Delicious food and great service. Appreciated the detailed information about Italian wines and loved the bottle we selected based on her recommendations. The fig bruschetta was very tasty as was the bolognese.
