    Bucatini all'amatriciana
    Jessica K.

    I made a reservation for three people for the Sunday before the Boston Marathon. They had a special menu for runners if you wanted a lot of food. Only one of us was running, so we ordered off of the regular menu. I got a good glass of red wine to drink, and we got the arancini to start. It was very good! However, you only get four pieces that aren't that big. They do bring some bread and olive oil to you before the entrees, which is nice. I ordered the paccheri bolognese. I liked the sauce and the broccoli rabe was different but added some good flavor. My friend got the bucatini all'amatriciana and liked it. The portions were decent but not huge. I finished all of mine and wasn't full. The inside is a bit tight, so it wouldn't be great for a big group. The service was very good, and they were very attentive.

    Good wine selection

    I continue to be a fan of this place. Six of us had reservations for New Year's Eve. We were seated promptly, and given a choice of a set menu or ordering off the regular menu. I ordered the lasagna, which was quite tasty. The servers kept filling up our water glasses, which was great. We did not feel at all, rushed, even though we were one of the earlier sittings.

    CHEESE PIZZA
    Olivia S.

    **Would say this is more 3.5 stars not 3, but there isn't an option for half ratings! Food was good, but service could have been better. We ordered a bottle of white wine and they didn't put it in a chiller or wine sleeve, which is a must for white wine. They could have been a bit more attentive in checking in with us if we needed anything. Pizza was solid and reminded us of New Haven pizza (very thin and crispy). Pasta was good not great, and we preferred the pizza more. We had a later reservation so feel like the hiccups on the service piece were due to that. I'd maybe try this spot again, but at an earlier reservation time or maybe lunch!

    SPACCATELLI AL PESTO

    Came to celebrate my partner starting a new job and let me say. The arancini, to die for. The music and ambience, wonderful. And to top it off, our server, Desmond, was fantastic throughout the night

    Mushroom pappardelle, roasted chicken, cod piccata
    Eva A.

    Rounding up from 3.5* I was looking forward to trying out Mida after hearing great things about their other locations and since I live in the area, but the experience wasn't anything special. We got the mushroom pappardelle, Icelandic cod piccata, roasted chicken, and meatball appetizer. Everything was pretty salty (especially the farro and risotto), but the chicken and cod were cooked well. I don't think I would return on my own but wouldn't complain if I came back for a party or by invite, and I would try the bolognese or pizzas. Friendliness and speed of service, ambiance, and cleanliness are good though! No complaints on that front.

    Meatballs
    Eric M.

    So yes I did go to 2 seperate locations today. Service leve at both was the same - excellent! We love to see consistency, the bread great at both warm with olive oil. This time went with the meatballs as an app(delicious) but the pizza! An ode to New Haven style for sure! Thin, but no flop great crisp! Was not greasy at all even with all the meat and yes again the short rib was fantastic! Loved this location as pictured below, modern, clean with pops of color. If you come to mida you are going to get a consistently great meal with great staff behind it

    BAY OF FUNDY SALMON. Oily. Underseasoned. Beans were flavorless.
    Stephanie C.

    First time here and very very disappointed. Cute vibes but the service is so understaffed. Food comes out so slowly and not all the entrees came up at once. The starter bread also didn't come until after entree. For a party of 5, we were frankly thoroughly disappointed about the food. My friends all ordered some sort of pasta that is beyond average. I had the bag of funds salmon which was oily, underseasoned, though I do appreciate the crisp of the salmon skin. It was otherwise not worth a second visit. Will not come back for the food but the patio is definitely cute for seatings.

    Mushroom Pappardelle

    Came here with a group of 10 and had such a great experience! The food was very good and everything came out smoothly. The service was attentive and friendly the whole time. Not pictured, but we also ordered the cheese pizza which was very good. I definitely recommend trying and would come back!

    Carbonara & Braised pork tagliatelle
    Jasmine J.

    Beautiful new location in Fenway! I've been to the South End location a few times and always enjoyed my meal. Highly recommend booking a reservation in advance! Loved the Amalfi Coast cocktail. Very sweet and fruity. Ordered the carbonara, braised pork tagliatelle, and carne supremo pizza. The carbonara was my personal favorite. The noodles were perfectly al dente. It was my first time trying pizza at Mida, and it didn't disappoint! The tagliatelle was pretty good, but I felt like there was too much going on and the noodles were not as thick and substantial as I would have liked. However, if you like braised pork, it's still a good option. Will be coming back to try all the other dishes one day!

    Charred cauliflower with romesco sauce
    Vicki M.

    Lovely meal at this newly opened location in Fenway! First time at Mida! We walked in on Friday night and were expecting a wait given they seemed quite packed and also some groups of people were waiting for their table. But surprise surprise they had a table for 2 and we were seated immediately! The hubs ordered the Amalfi coast drink - he liked it. We ordered the charred cauliflower with romesco sauce as an appetizer and it was really good. The dill and mint were unexpected and added great flavor. They also brought bread and olive oil - 2 pieces of bread. I ordered the Bay of Fundy salmon which came with smashed cannellini beans with spinach in a light broth sauce and a parsley gremolata which was very lemony and added good flavor. The salmon was well cooked crispy outside and tender inside. I only wish they would add some carb to this dish, perhaps some rice or potatoes to make it a bit more filling. Although I was ok because we had had bread and appetizer so it was ok. The hubs ordered the sausage tagliatelle which he liked. It was a good portion so he had leftovers to take home! Our server was very friendly! And the waters were refilled adequately. Overall nice meal!

    GNOCCHI CACIO E PEPE and SMOKED SHORT RIB LASAGNA

    The restaurant looked nice and the staff was very friendly. The focaccia bread was delicious. However the arancini were cold. The lasagna and cacio e pepe were fine just nothing that wowed us. The food overall was very average. The amalfi coast drink felt overpowered by the grapefruit and very watery. The espresso martini felt overly sweet and also very average. Overall it was an expensive meal for average tasting food. Maybe we should've had the pizza because the people sitting next to us had it and it looked good, but I don't think I'd risk going back.

    Bridget S.

    We had such an incredible experience here and our waitress Grace went above and beyond to ensure experience was memorable! The food was unbelievable and the atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming - We will 100% be returning!

    The Amalfi Coast - a wonderfully tasty citrusy combination with Vodka. Does it get any better?
    Lisa M.

    Exceptional service from start to finish. Every dish fresh, delicious, cleanly plated, appropriate serving sizes for a change. The freshly made pasta is delicious!

We walked into a warm, energetic space with dim lighting, an open dining room, and a constant buzz that makes it a great choice for a night out with friends or a date. The restaurant has a vibrant, social energy that encourages sharing and exploration, and the open layout adds to the sense of activity without feeling chaotic. Rather than ordering individual entrées, the experience is centered around sharing a variety of dishes, making each visit feel a little different depending on what you choose. The tapas are the highlight of the menu, with plenty of options that encourage trying a little bit of everything. The bacon-wrapped dates are one of the signature dishes, balancing sweet and savory flavors, while the patatas bravas, croquettes, and charcuterie boards are reliable choices to start the meal. If you are looking for something more substantial, the seafood paella and squid ink pasta stand out as excellent main dishes, offering rich flavors and generous portions that are easy to split between two or more people. The olive oil cake is also worth saving room for if you want to end the meal with dessert, and the overall progression of the meal works well with the tapas format. The drink menu is just as impressive as the food. Wine is the main focus, with an extensive list featuring Spanish and international selections, but the sangria and cocktails are equally popular. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours sharing plates while working your way through a few different drinks, and the beverage program is thoughtfully curated to match the style of the food. Service is one of the restaurant's strongest points. The staff are knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and dishes arrive steadily throughout the meal instead of all at once, creating a relaxed dining pace. The pacing allowed us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed, and the team checked in at the right moments without hovering. The restaurant is consistently busy, especially on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. Even with a reservation, there can occasionally be a short wait, and the lively atmosphere means the dining room can get quite loud during peak hours. The energy of the room is part of what makes the experience work, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quieter dinner. Barcelona Wine Bar is one of the best places in Boston for Spanish-inspired tapas and wine. The combination of flavorful shareable dishes, a well-curated drink menu, attentive service, and vibrant atmosphere makes it an easy choice for group dinners, celebrations, or date nights. It offers a meal that feels both communal and polished, with a setting that encourages slowing down and enjoying the evening. Just be prepared for the energetic environment and plan ahead if you are visiting during the busiest times.

From the moment you enter, the setting makes an impression -- the dining room is decadent and beautifully designed, with rich finishes, dramatic details, and sweeping city views that create a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere. It feels special without being overly formal, making it perfect for celebrations or a sophisticated afternoon treat. The tea selection is thoughtfully curated, featuring high-quality blends that range from classic black and green teas to more delicate herbal options. Each tea is aromatic, well-balanced, and served with care, allowing guests to truly savor the experience. The sweet pastries are a standout. Beautifully presented and expertly crafted, they deliver flavor and texture without being overly sweet -- a balance that elevates the entire tea service.

    People recently wondered why Boston got nearly entirely shut out by the Michelin people (only 1…read moreone-star was given); among the places that were said to be in the running was Amar, located in a lovely space in the Raffles Hotel. We have been there twice, and I now will put my brief review. The take-home: if Boston, Raffles, and Amar think they deserve a star, they really need to up their game. I will get one thing out of the way very quickly: the food is spectacular and the wine service was excellent; these are not the reason for my comment. The simple truth folks is that a dining experience is not JUST about the food. It's about ambiance--which includes service and atmosphere, and that is where Amar just falls apart. It would be wrong to not recognize that the individual servers were quite nice and attentive. We had an 830 pm seating--hardly late in most cities, though one might suggest that in Boston that is on the later side (it really isn't folks). Regardless, by 1030-11 pm, the dining room was nearly empty on a Saturday night. At that moment, a server came over to us to alert us the kitchen was closing--which was obviously them saying "get out"--but soon thereafter the smell of cleaning fluid filled the air, and we realized there was a person cleaning the tables--with a cleaning cart, complete with mops, brooms, and cleaning fluid in the middle of the dining room. While people were seated and eating. This is a restaurant with a pricey menu and wine list, and I cannot remember a time when dining in a fine restaurant when something like this EVER happened. We found it funny at first, but while trying to eat our dessert and drink our final cocktails the smell of ammonia really ruined the final experience. In the end, once served with the bill, it was not funny. The bill was around $1000 for 4 people including a nice bottle of wine. So: expensive, nice individual service, good food. But the lack of awareness about how diners paying for an expensive meal feel being rushed, and then the utterly ludicrous presence of a cleaning cart in the middle of the dining room while people were still eating (I posted a photo) makes Amar a laughable memory but nowhere I'd go back to.
