Fui a La Padrona Boston y wow... este lugar se siente súper luxury desde que entras. Está dentro del Raffles, así que el vibe es elegante, oscuro, con música y una energía bien upscale. La comida italiana se siente refined, especialmente las pastas hechas en casa y el focaccia, que honestamente fue de mis favoritos. El servicio también estuvo muy bien y hace que toda la experiencia se sienta especial. Eso sí, es un spot caro, más para birthday dinner, date night o una ocasión especial que para una cena casual. También puede estar un poco loud dependiendo la noche, pero overall la experiencia vale la pena por el ambiente y lo bien presentado que está todo read more

We were celebrating a belated birthday, and what a meal! The cacio e pepe focaccia and the sheep's milk ricotta were more than enough for the three of us to share with our cocktails ("Salty Truffle"made with black truffle infused vodka, and an Old Fashioned). Staff was great in walking us through some of the Spring menu selections that debuted that evening. We decided on the Spring Sorprisene pasta with basil and snap peas for the vegetarian diner, while two of us shared the roasted rack of lamb and the swordfish fra diavolo. The asparagus stalks were large, and cooked properly (not soggy). The portions were very good sized, and we had them pack 4 untouched lamb chops and the leftover fra diavolo sauce with lobster for us to take home. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and the pavlova with fruit, both of which were excellent. The dining room is on the second floor of the Raffles Hotel, and very attractive. Since it was a Saturday night, the scene was lively. We had a really good time celebrating a birthday, and will definitely return again (just make sure to reserve in advance, as the restaurant is much in demand). read more

We were able to secure a seat at the bar as a walk-in. The bar ambience was dark and moody. We didn't make it up to the main floor restaurant to really see what it was about, but I certainly enjoyed the vibe at the bar. The cocktails were great in the wine list was expensive. Both of our pasta dishes were excellent, but really the best thing that we ate was a bread that was non leavened with cheese in between the layers - wish i could remember the name! read more

La Padrona Boston - Primi: Lobster & uni Risotto - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had dinner at La Padrona when I was in Boston last week and wow - easily one of the best meals I've had this year. I had read about La Padrona in the New York Times and then - kismet - I realized the restaurant was around the block from my hotel. I had to go! The restaurant is beautiful - really elegant but not fussy (people were still dressed comfortably, not formally). I sat the bar, which is one of the more elegant bars I've sat at recently - an oval in the center of the dining room. I started with one of their martinis (a whole page of their bar menu is martinis) - the Salty Truffle (black truffle-infused Belvedere vodka, olive brine, ricotta-parmigiana, and black truffle-stuffed olives). It was a treat - a great start to the meal. I had a glass of wine that the bartender recommended with my two courses after my martini - very good. Then I had their Charred Arrowhead Cabbage (with anchovy butter, orange, and sage). It was one of the best vegetable dishes I've had in ages. The cabbage was charred on the outside but tender on the inside (harder to do than it sounds, because I've had a lot of cabbage dishes where the cabbage is still raw inside), and the flavor was incredible. Have I ever had anchovy and orange with cabbage? Nope. Was it delicious and entirely memorable? Absolutely. Then I had a pasta course - their Rabbit Ragu Fazzoletti (milk-braised rabbit, roasted sunchokes, and fennel). Another absolute knockout. The flavor of this dish surprised and 100% delighted me. I might have closed my eyes during my first few bites. Should I have had dessert? Probably not. Did I? When a meal is this good, don't you have to? I had their vanilla gelato, which is served with olive oil croutons, 12-year Balsamic vinegar, and Maldon salt. I wish it had had a bit more of the balsamic vinegar, but the dish was delicious: sweet, savory, cream - all the best things in a dessert. A great way to end the meal. The service was good. The restaurant was beautiful. But the food and drinks really knocked my socks off. It will easily go down as one of my best meals of 2025. I'd love to return. read more

For my second visit to La Padrona for a birthday dinner, I was able to see the whole menu this time since the Easter visit was a specific menu. It's certainly interesting and full of dishes that are very authentically Italian and you might not see anywhere else. They've also just been added to the Michelin guide and it's well deserved! The noise does increase by the hours and they play music as well, so if you want it to be quieter, go on the earlier side and sit closer to the entrance. I first split the prosciutto & smashed fig crostini with a family member, and it's the best one I've had in quite a long time, and didn't seem as fatty as some prosciutto that I've had before. There were two slabs of bread with basil pesto and burrata, as if it was made just for me! Then the entree came, a very special dish of milk raised rabbit ragu fazzoletti with sunchokes and fennel in a creamy white sauce, instead of red like usual with ragu. The rabbit chunks were substantial and tasted wonderful, even though I felt a bit bad as I like rabbits a lot in general haha I started with a nice Sangiovese Chianti and then a great white wine called Arneis Marchesi. Before dessert, I was fortunate enough to have some of a family member's tagliatelle, which was delicious as I remember from Easter, and then a couple bites of the butternut squash and pumpkin brown butter ravioli which was full of flavor. The vanilla creme brûlée with caramelized sugar was wonderful and some bites even tasted like toasted marshmallow to me. I had some bites of the chocolate cake with had some wafter textures in the layers which were great. The whole thing was presented in a lovely display with some gelato added to it and a happy birthday message spelled out in fudge sauce. Then mini cannolis came at the end! My time at La Padrona was something really special, and the restaurant really went all out to make it a memorable, amazing time. Our waitress was really great and attentive. The service was excellent all around and the atmosphere really nice. La Padrona is a noteworthy place and for sure one of the premier restaurants in Boston! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I Went with a group for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed my time there. The dishes were really tasty, fresh. Everyone in the group enjoyed their food. I am a huge Italian cuisine lover end can be a bit critical. But I honestly have nothing bad to say about the food. The cocktails were also nice. Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items to make some great recommendations and/or answers questions. Ambiance is elegant and intimate. Price is to be expected, not cheap. I also like that you can experience their downstairs lounge for drinks or bites. read more

The service was impeccable. There was always someone to halp us whenever we had a question. I had the lobster risotto and eggplant as a starter. It was a layer of eggplant cover with tomato's and seasoning. It was delicious. Located in the Raffles hotel, it was on the second floor. It was dimly lit with soft music in the background. I would return in a heart beat. read more

I really enjoyed La padrona! I did one visit to the upstairs part and one visit to the downstairs part. The upstairs part is mainly reserved seating including the beautiful bar seen in most pictures of this place. Upstairs I got the pornstar martini and it was expensive but amazing. I went to the downstairs part around 9pm and was very impressed by the atmosphere they created for the walk-in area. It's half bar and half lounge. I loved the cocktail lounge vibe! I got some desserts that were delicious - I'd recommend the chocolate cake over the tiramisu if you're going to pick one. Another note is that they may run out of Passionfruit for the pornstar martini late at night. Sadly no price adjustment for this. Overall I really loved La padrona and I especially liked that they had matchboxes at the host stand since I'm a collector! read more

We got reservations in the club room the weekend of Boston marathon. The club room was definitely worth it. It was beautiful and quieter than the rest of the restaurant. I forgot to take photos of the food but we got the PIATTO DI PANE to start and I ordered the CHARRED EGGPLANT MILANESE. My partner ordered TAGLIATELLE EMILIA - ROMAGNA which I thought was better than my dish. The restaurant gave us cannolis at the end of the dinner that was delicious. Overall I'd definitely come back and try some of their other food options. read more

The staff was welcoming and the overall experience was enjoyable. The service felt disjointed, we had multiple servers but none of them seemed to know who ordered what which for a restaurant of this level seems below par. The service was also very slow, at first everything came out quickly and then we all would have ordered a second drink and no one came by to ask if we wanted one. Our dessert took a painfully long time to come out. Come for the IG, not the service. That said, all the servers were lovely. read more

When I tell you the best food I have eaten in a long time! We split a lot of different dishes My favorite were the mushrooms and the beef tenderloin. Service was on point. When our meal took too long they offered a shot of limoncello to make up for it. The dinning room is so pretty and get a romantic mood at night. read more

My husband and I finally tried La Padrona after being torn for a while about whether we even wanted to go with all the conflicting reviews. Overall, the service and food was good, although it's much too loud (think blasting club music with a strong bass) for my taste. Yes, it's overpriced and they charge for bread, but you already know that going in. Our server did a good job helping me navigate the menu with all of my allergies and being vegetarian. To start we got the "flatbread" which was delicious- basically focaccia with tomato and onion, and came with 4 huge pieces, so we had leftovers. My husband also got the tuna crudo, which he enjoyed, and I got the fall salad "misticanza". This was barely dressed (which I actually like), had a few hazelnuts & Gorgonzola, was refreshing and big enough to share. I don't understand at all why you would have a pasta on the menu that looks vegetarian but actually has fish sauce in it (the bucatini napoletana). This was able to be modified for me, and while the pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, the flavors and textures were not pleasant (smoky with chopped green tomato?). My husband got the tagliatelle Emilia Romagna (also vegetarian) which is like a creamy Alfredo with aged balsamic. It was very good, but heavy. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake, which was pretty good, but my favorite bite of the night was the citrus ricotta filled florentine cannoli that came with the check! read more

Absolutely loved it here and already excited to go back! Our server, Alicia, was so friendly and fantastic with recommendations. The vibes here are great for a swanky girls night or date night, and the two separate levels have seating to keep the night going. Everything we ordered was fantastic, but our favorites were scallops, spinach ricotta gnudi, and the eggplant Milanese. They pace the courses well, and each dish was so freshly made. They also have a HUGE selection of cocktails and wines. Reservations go pretty quickly, but easy to make online. If you live in the city and can walk, I recommend it since there's hardly any parking in the area. It is definitely on the expensive side, but for a special occasion it's a great option. read more

I made reservations a few weeks in advance to celebrate my 48th birthday with my husband, and I was genuinely excited to finally try this glamorous, Michelin starred restaurant. We dressed to the nines and booked an early reservation at 5:00 p.m. (I believe it was their first seating). I usually enjoy sitting at the bar for a drink before dinner, but this isn't really that kind of place. The bar is set primarily for diners with reservations. They did kindly make an exception and allowed us to sit there for one drink, but the experience felt a bit awkward overall...even though no one seemed outwardly annoyed. Once seated, we had a great view of the dining room. There was a lot of energy..waiters, runners, and a manager moving quickly around the space, communicating through a mic. Despite the hustle, everything ran smoothly. The food was excellent. We thought every dish was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and offered thoughtful recommendations, which we appreciated. The only part of the evening that truly disappointed me was the shared restroom. I'm certainly not a prude, but it felt uncomfortable trying to wash my hands or fix my hair with men all around. I would have appreciated a women's space. For such a swanky restaurant, this detail felt surprisingly distasteful. read more

No wonder this place got rated in the Top 25 New Restaurants In The US! It's a very elegant, celebratory room and the place is buzzing with energy. The food is truly delicious and creative. Service was friendly and excellent. The creamy tagliatelle was epic. The duck pasta fantastic. My wife had fish which she said was superb and she is a great cook! The desserts were so delicious too. Don't miss the thin cannolis made with sliced almonds instead of flour. A wonderful new take on a classic. This is such a great restaurant. So glad we have it here in Boston. read more

We got quite a few things and the only time we would not get again is the cornbread. It was far too sweet. Our server was wonderful. It was a very good evening (our xmas celebration). My adult kids loved the cocktails. My only complaint, and I was quite disgusted, was the condition of the bathroom. It is a joint bathroom. I have no Issue with that but, every stall was disgusting. Pee everywhere. And I witnessed every man come out of a stall and not wash their hands. So gross. They need a bathroom attendant to encourage hand washing or at the least hand sanitizer and clean the stalls after every person. This is an expensive restaurant. Guess the affluent think they are above decent hygiene manners. I am not sure I will go back there. It was quite literally the worst bathroom I have ever been in. read more

We enjoyed La Padrona for a birthday celebration and overall it was good with just a few glitches. I find when dining at this price point I expect both the food and service to be great. Big fan of Jody Adams and her food for years, so was excited to try her newest venture. The dining room was packed, and as others have noted here, it is a loud experience. We were not quite sure why the music being played was so loud. We were able to hear our dinner guests, but sometimes it was a struggle. They do offer "club room" reservations for a quieter dining experience, but that looked like a room off to the back. Prices are high. The food and drink were good, but hard to justify the price of some items. I've posted photos of the menu, as they don't post prices on the website. Overall, we enjoyed all of the food sampled. Salads, bread service, appetizers were generous portions. I would have preferred a smaller portion at a reduced price. Our server advised that the dishes were shareable. Service was good, but there was an issue at a critical juncture of the meal. Our appetizers and drinks were done, and our server asked if we wanted another drink. We asked for a drink menu, which quickly arrived, but then nobody came to take our order for wine. Entrees were served, and mostly eaten until she returned for our drink order. At that point, I really don't want to enjoy wine as I'm eating dessert. read more

We spent Thanksgiving in Boston and chose La Padrona for our holiday dinner--and it did not disappoint. The venue is stunning, with dim lighting and a gorgeous bar at its center, creating the perfect atmosphere. The service was outstanding, from the welcoming host to the attentive sommelier and our server, who memorized all our names and was very attentive. The Thanksgiving menu featured a mix of their menu favorites and fall classics. I had the turkey dinner, and it was fantastic--comforting and true to tradition, even for an Italian spot. It made us feel right at home for the holiday. Knocking a star because my stuffed pasta appetizer's filling was fridge cold and the pumpkin pie dessert wasn't the best. While it's definitely a splurge, La Padrona is perfect for special occasions. Highly recommend! read more

To be completely honest, I have no idea what the dishes were called. Me and my girlfriend told our waitress we just didn't feel like ordering and for her to bring whatever the chef feels like making. The dishes were a bit on the heavy side but that's because I'm used to eating healthy usually don't have this much for carbs. Atmosphere was nice, wait staff attentive, on the steep side but it was expected. Definitely reserved for special occasions read more

Fancy restaurant that is good for an elevated dining experience. I wouldn't say you have to dress up but it wouldn't be fitting to come in sweats. The service was great and they were very attentive. Between appetizer, main course and dessert, they would wipe down the table. Came with 4 others and the amount of food we ordered was just perfect! The food here is meant to be shared according to our server. We got 2 appetizers (burrata and razor clams), 3 main entrees (swordfish, pasta and the porter house sharable with size of mushrooms), and some desserts (chocolate cake, panna cotta, cannot and affogato). Appetizers overall were delicious! The burrata app was unexpectedly so flavorful and razor clams were decent. Main entrees: Swordfish - sooo good and there were pieces of lobster in it. Had a really nice balance. Pasta (sorry couldn't remember the name) - the tomato sauce was wellmade and overall I reallly enjoyed this dish. There was something that had me coming back for more. Porter House - for its price, I'm not sure if it was flavored enough for me. Even pairing with the garlic, it was ok. Now the side of mushrooms were AMAZING. Bursting with flavor and with the steak on it, much better. Dessert: Overall I'd pass. Panna cotta was meh. Chocolate cake was tasty, dense and very very rich. A few bites were enough for me. Affogato, you can't really go wrong. Overall! I reallly enjoyed this spot and would come back again but the price is definitely on the higher end. read more

This is a great place to have a cocktail and appetizers at the bar. I would definitely come here again. read more

I had a very brief 20 hour trip to Boston and had just read about La Padrona making The NY Times 50 best restaurants right now list, so I had to make a reservation for dinner with a friend. I booked a few weeks out and was able to get a prime time spot on a Friday night. La Padrona is on the 2nd floor of the new Raffles Hotel. When you walk in, it's dark, very lively, and just has classy but fun vibes. It's pretty loud inside, and while there were many groups, there were also a lot of people on dates. The cocktails were awesome: - Blooming Hour: their version of a milk punch, with calvados, chamomile, yuzu, peach, and honey. This was slightly sweet for my own tastes but still clean - Mai Padrona: their take on a mai tai - tiki but well balanced and served in a proper tiki cup with an orchi - Salty truffle: a dirty martini but with truffle. It sounds odd, but it worked so well, and it's served with truffle cheese stuffed olives on the side sitting on ice (loved the presentation) Onto food... - Caccio e Pepe focaccia: 4 large pieces topped with pecorino and fresh cracked pepper - Grilled sweet farm peppers: with smoked almonds, black currant agrodolce, and mild anchovies - Campanelle: a last of summer pasta with zucchini, squash blossoms, cruschi peppers, pine nuts, and pecorino. It was a richer pasta but has lots of textures and vegetables to offset it, so it was super well balanced - Tagliatelle Emilia Romagna: classic with cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, 12 year balsamico. This simple preparation brought me back to Italy Dessert: Warm peach crostada: a huge portion topped with hazelnut cream, cinnamon oat streusel, blueberries, olive oil ice cream We sat at the bar, and service was great - super attentive and friendly despite how busy it was. The food was great, but it's definitely also a destination for cocktails. The thought and presentation that went into the drinks is much more than at your average restaurant. Back in the day, when I lived in Boston, I really liked Rialto, and chef Jodi Adams has created another hit! read more

La Padrona is so cute! The restaurant is gorgeous and food was delicious. The wine list is extensive. Worth it to be here for the vibe.

I'm surprised this place doesn't have all 5 star reviews. I stayed at Raffles this summer and came here because it's in (but not run by) the hotel. The management, bartenders and hostess staff are all wonderful. Even the lounge downstairs was a great mix of fun and welcoming. I think this is my new favorite place in Boston. We still talk about how well run this place is. Whoever is in charge of hiring is doing a fantastic job. Food is underrated- get the eggplant. read more

A grand restaurant in every respect that misses the mark. La Padrona seeks to overwhelm the senses but takes it too far: 1. I am not one to typically complain about loud restaurants but this place was totally ridiculous. Booming cub music with a bass that radiates through the floor. Impossible to hear a conversation. The music makes no sense for the ambience. 2. The cocktail menu tries to be innovative but the drinks are average. 3. Service felt disorganized. They never knew who ordered which drink or dish which I would expect for a restaurant of this caliber. Courses came out painfully slow and it often felt we were forgotten. 4. The food was good- not notable. The pastas were tasty and the filet was well prepared. I found dessert to be the best course. Overall a restaurant meant for big events that falls short of expectations read more

So the place is stunning to look at and be in but it is crammed and honestly the steps of service aren't there for the type of restaurant they want to be. For the 3 of us to have 3 entrees the bread sampler and 2 cocktails the bill was 280 without tip. The sa came to put the water and tried to pour the sparkling in one of the other people regular water glass when we told them of error she took while glass and threw away. We had our bread on table which was yummy but our server took our plates with still 4 pieces on there. It was a small table but we do need a plate. We got our entrees I had duck ragú and other chicken saltimboca. The ragú was a ragú but was cream and did have large pieces of duck in it. Tasty and pasta was fresh. Would I go back for it no but ok. The chicken was good but did come on the bone and wasn't described that way. The prosciutto and cheese I think was on top of it. Tasted ok but not worth it. I had 2 martinis each $30. They came with a cute cup of ice with a half fresh passion fruit for me to scoop in. I did like that touch. Overall nothing blew me away. They did bring a small dessert to say thx a orange almond cannoli which was tasty. To be voted best Italian I would expect more from them. read more

I am writing to share feedback regarding a very disappointing experience my group had at your restaurant on the evening of March 7. We had a reservation for a party of 10 at 9:00 PM to celebrate a milestone birthday for our friend Juliet. Our group arrived early at approximately 8:45 PM, however we were not seated until after 9:30 PM. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the evening felt extremely disorganized and the service did not reflect the level of hospitality one would expect from a high-end establishment. Once seated, everything took an unusually long time to be served -- including drinks, starters, and our main meals. In fact, we did not receive our dinner until well after 11:30 PM. For a large group celebrating a milestone birthday, the experience was overwhelming and frustrating rather than enjoyable. While we did eventually receive a complimentary bottle of champagne, it had to be requested rather than offered proactively, and nothing else was extended to acknowledge the significant delays or the inconvenience we experienced throughout the night. Additionally, when our main courses arrived, the server noticed that no one had ordered sides and asked if we wanted to add any. By that point it was already around midnight, and we had neither the patience nor the desire to place additional orders that we were told could take up to another hour to come out of the kitchen. Another disappointment was learning that several of the key menu items our group had planned to order were already sold out. This further dampened the mood of what was meant to be a special celebration. Overall, the evening did not meet the expectations we had for a restaurant of La Padrona's caliber, especially considering the significant amount spent by our group and the importance of the occasion. I felt it was important to share this feedback so that the experience of future guests celebrating special occasions can be improved. I would appreciate hearing from management regarding this matter. read more

La Padrona delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. We came in as VIP guests and were treated exactly as such--every moment felt effortlessly special. The atmosphere is cleverly elegant yet young and everyone is very well immersed in their own business and polite. The cocktails were phenomenal, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. As for the food, we ordered the tuna crudo, rabbit ragu, risotto, piato di pane, lobster uni risotto, red wine braised veal, etc (we were celebrating so we ordered almost everything). Every single dish was executed to perfection and it's super fun to share with like nearly a tapas experience if you want it like that. Each bite was packed with bold, elevated flavors that showcased the kitchen's expertise. We spent five hours here even after close, yet the time flew by thanks to the incredible service. The waiters were attentive, charming, and fun, making us feel completely at home while maintaining a level of professionalism that enhanced the experience. So if you're looking for a place in Boston that combines impeccable food, top-tier service, and a stunning ambiance, La Padrona is it (dress well ;) read more

Visited Sunday evening at 7pm. A little tricky to find because it is hidden off to the side of Raffles hotel. We had trouble getting last minute reservations elsewhere (one place gave away our table we reserved online). La padrona was able to accommodate easily! Thank goodness they did because it was a highlight of our trip to BOSTON. Have to admit we were a tad under dressed but when you are hungry just own it. I would advise getting a tad dressed up. It's a perfect special occasion, first date, or excited to have a great meal type place. The decor is sophisticated and luxurious from the entry to the main dining room. Staff was extremely attentive, next level. Yulia was exceptional and very down to earth. Such a pleasurable experience all around. I am gluten sensitive but my teenage kids and husband are not. They ordered focaccia bread items with lots of freshly shaved Parmesan on top. They loved it. We ordered the tuna crudo appetizer and it was unlike anything I have ever had. Such depth of flavor! Unlike anything I have had before. Cesar salad dressing was on point. Wow! I ordered the swordfish (with chunks of lobster) and it was fantastic. Highly recommend!! My family shared the chicken saltimpoca and 2-orders Tagliatelle Emilia romagne. They scraped the plates. The chicken was a favorite. The creme brulee was the creamiest and best flavor I have ever had, better than in Italy!! Wish the crust was a little thicker. But over all yum. We were given complimentary gf cannolis and it was a true treat for a gluten free eater to have those! Yuma was amazing and the staff was very attentive. You must try this place! read more

Hands down, this is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to enjoy a fancy dinner with your special company! The ambiance here is phenomenal with the entry way paying homage to a nostalgic world gone by. The bar is classic and the staircase going up to the dining hall is refined. They also have an elevator for those who already worked in their glutes! The dining hall is top notch with everything where it should be. The staff here is very attentive and very efficient. We were lucky to by paired with Clara & her trainee Sam who was shadowing her that evening. Clara was great with her course recommendations and Sam was a natural. Clara recommended some dishes and we just decided to go with her choices! Afterall, she was part of the original staff when they opened this luxurious restaurant about 2 years ago. As each course arrived, they were introduced and beautifully presented. As each course arrived, we were happier and happier. Needless to say, everyone at our table was very satisfied and happy with what we ate! We were so full from dinner that we really didn't have any more room for dessert but Clara & Sam really insisted on the chocolate cake! I mean...Clara & Sam hadn't done us wrong yet. It was delicious and sharing it was absolutely perfect! What a lovely experience and such a memorable dinner! We'll certainly be back....see you here! read more
