Since its inception in 1997, Chef Jamie Mammano, along with Seth Greenberg & Paul Roiff, have been reshaping Boston’s culinary landscape. Their flagship venture, Mistral, introduced a fusion of French-Mediterranean flavors to the vibrant South End.
In 2006, Mammano and Roiff unveiled Sorellina, a haven for lovers of contemporary regional Italian-Mediterranean cuisine. Boasting an eclectic wine selection and chic ambiance accented by a captivating mural, Sorellina quickly became a culinary landmark.
Before Sorellina, Mammano joined forces with Roiff at The Federalist, nestled within XV Beacon Hotel. This collaboration laid the groundwork for their next venture: Mooo…., a sophisticated steakhouse in Boston’s Back Bay, which opened its doors in August 2007.
Ostra, an ode to Mediterranean seafood, followed suit in November 2013. Ostra, located at One Charles Street South in Boston’s Back Bay, is a contemporary restaurant. Inspired by local and European varieties of seafood, Chef/Owner Jamie Mammano focus on specialty seafood found throughout the Mediterranean and regions within the U.S. The light preparation of our cuisine highlights the natural and fresh flavors of each dish.
In 2022, Columbus Hospitality Group expanded Mooo… with a new location in Boston’s bustling Seaport District, solidifying its status as a culinary mainstay. Additionally, the group transformed L’Andana into Mooo…Burlington, marking another milestone in their culinary journey.
