This Boston restaurant made OpenTable’s list of the 100 most romantic restaurants in the U.S.

If you still haven't made Valentine's Day dinner plans, you’re not alone. Americans spend an average of more than two hours hunting for the right spot and plenty of us wait until the last minute to book. Last year, nearly a quarter of OpenTable reservations were made within 48 hours of dining, with 14 percent booked the day before. To make the search for the perfect restaurant easier, OpenTable compiled its Top 100 Romantic Restaurants in America list based on nine million diner reviews, along with diner ratings, reservation trends, the percentage of five-star reviews and the percentage of reviews with the tag “romantic.” One Boston restaurant made the list.

Sorellina, the Back Bay mainstay from chef-owner Jamie Mammano, earned its spot by doing what it’s always done well: refined Italian-Mediterranean cooking without the stuffiness. The menu pulls inspiration from across Italy and the Mediterranean, and updates it with a modern sensibility. From pristine crudos and handmade pastas to polished mains, everything feels celebratory. It’s the kind of food that invites lingering, which is exactly what you want on a night meant for conversation and romance.

The wine program takes things to the next level. Sorellina spotlights lesser-known Italian bottles alongside classics, making it easy to turn dinner into a shared discovery. Add in a sleek dining room, low lighting and attentive service, and it’s easy to see why diners keep tagging their experience as romantic.

Boston wasn’t the only New England area to get some love. Elsewhere in the region, Pellana Steakhouse in Peabody, Earth at Hidden Pond in Maine and Ristorante Massimo in New Hampshire also made OpenTable’s list.

OpenTable’s research also suggests Valentine’s Day itself is evolving. More than half of Americans say the holiday is becoming less about traditional romance and more about celebrating all kinds of relationships, a shift led by Gen Z. Food still sits at the center of it all. Fifty-five percent of respondents say shared food preferences play a meaningful role in connection.
