Let's get this straight: if you're visiting Boston, you have to drive a little. It's not like New York where you can hitch a cab anywhere, and that the only good restaurants are in Manhattan or Brooklyn. In Boston, there're places like Brookline or Cambridge where Boston's hidden treasures are revealed (not for locals, of course)...but...I wouldn't drive out of my way if I was visting Boston to go to La Morra...it's not bad, but it's not the best restaurant...If you're in the Brookline area, then try it and let me know how you like it (in the comments), it's just that what I ordered wasn't the best Italian food (judging by my Italian food experience in Boston, I think that I'm just going to stick to the North End).
MAIN COURSES: I played it simple and old school at La Morra: Gnocchi. Again...it wasn't bad...but it was a little bland. The Gnocchi came with ox tail and dates. Hence the description, I thought that I would get a kick out of it! Honestly, the ox tail and dates were great! Tender, sweet and tasted great together. The dates cut out some of the gaminess of the ox tail, but the Gnocchi was...bland. I felt like I ordered ox tail and dates with a side of Gnocchi; it was that bland...On their own, the dish would be great but together...it just didn't work...
So like I said...if you're in the area then maybe try it, but don't waste your time driving all the way to Brookline and back.
