Nebo Cucina & Enoteca - Having a great drink called "Dark Waters" on a great outdoor sidewalk patio @Nebo - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Visited Nebo again, and it did not disappoint! The calamari and Rigatoni All'Amatriciana were just as amazing as I remembered--generous portions and packed with flavor. Also tried the Bolognese, which was just as good as the rigatoni. Definitely a place that knows how to do pasta right! For starters, we had the Bruschetta Aglio E Olio along with the calamari. Simple but so flavorful--sometimes less is more! The wine selection is great, with plenty of options to pair with the meal. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is so relaxing--perfect for a casual yet elevated dining experience. Can't wait to come back again! read more

If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy some traditional but creative cocktails, Nebo in Boston might just be your new go-to. We stopped by for some after-dinner drinks and were not disappointed. First up was the Filthy Martini--a dirty martini taken to the next level with vodka marinated in olives. The drink was a perfect blend of salty and boozy. There was a mountain of olives behind the bar marinating in vodka, along with strawberries and pineapples for other drinks. Next, we tried the PB&J Martini, a creamy concoction that struck the perfect balance between peanut butter richness and a hint of berry sweetness. It was a dessert in a glass so good I forgot to take a picture of it!! The ambiance was surprisingly really quiet for a Friday night, making it an ideal place to unwind. The bar setup was inviting, with a well-stocked array of liquors and a laid-back vibe that encourages you to stay for just one more. Nebo in Boston is worth a visit if you're in the mood for quality cocktails in a relaxed setting. read more

Nebo, an Italian spot opened by sisters Carla and Christine Pallotta in 2005, is another fave in Boston. Located in a setting that has a mechanical industrial aesthetic. The patio for an afternoon drink is a must. Stopping in for a drink, I opted for a Manhattan, which was great as always. We didn't eat but I love this spot. The zucchini lasagna is my favorite. The Pallotta sisters' dedication to authentic Italian cuisine is clear. read more

Nebo Cucina & Enoteca - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Authentic Italian Cuisine with clean fresh ingredients! Nebo, along the beautiful Boston Greenway (great outdoor seating too), is more than just an Italian restaurant. It's sophisticated, yet deeply familiar. From the bustling open kitchen to the friendly chatter, it's like an invitation to a family dinner. The menu is a testament to the restaurant's celebrated sister-chef owners and a masterclass in classic Italian dishes passed down from their mom's Puglia region of Italy. I can't get enough of the amazing appetizers. We take the family style approach- ordering many- making sure everyone gets their favorites! These dishes are reminders of what my family ate growing up! We had the crispy yet creamy arancini, perfectly golden spheres of mushroom cheese risotto with a touch of chestnut honey glaze- (I asked for a bit of marinara on the side!!) The Timballo di Melanzana was outstanding; and our family favorite - the fritto misto-filled with perfectly cooked mix of calamari shrimp and smelts! Yet I couldn't leave without tasting 1-2 pizzas (Tradizionale & the Gino) cooked to perfection! The "stand at attention" crispy crunchy thin crust- never soggy or limp!! Hands down the best pizza in all of Boston!! (Hint: buy a few extra to take them home for lunch!) Entrees: My husband had the classic Cioppino with tons of fresh fish in a light tomato base (don't forget the side of amazing crunchy grilled homemade bruschetta) and I went with the fresh, house-made pasta - Spaghetti vongole! Delicious!!! Do NOT pass on dessert! The Spumoni Sundae will knock your socks off as will the espresso gelato! If you happen to go for lunch - hands down- order the Spuckies! Our service was excellent (Michael) attentive, happy and professional! A great night out!! Nebo is always home to me! read more

There's a real lack of passionate enthusiasm behind this food. The meatballs were tough. They were not melt in your mouth by any means. It felt like they were missing an ingredient. They also came out cold. We ordered a bruschetta and it was just bread with olive oil and garlic on it. We also ordered Bolognese and that was just OK. The restaurant is beautiful and the atmosphere is stunning. The service is good. But the food is really leaving a lot to be desired. read more

What an incredible birthday meal for my wife! They made us feel like family. Will return, for food and ambience.

We were looking for a quick , easy Italian dinner spot and decided on Nebo! The service was fast and the food was pretty good. If you are looking for an amazing mocktail section come here - they have the best I've ever seen! Also if you are gluten free this is definitely a great option! I got the Bianca Pizza it was really tasty. To share we got polenta which was very heavy but tasty! Finished our date with an ice cream sundae! read more

I had the pasta bolognese and it was just... meh. Nothing special about the sauce, tasted like marinara from a jar. No complexity of flavor. Came out of the kitchen barely warm, so I sent it back. The manager came to our table to apologize and comped us dessert, which we enjoyed. read more

The food was so delicious. The drinks were OK. The portions are small and it's a really nice location. The ambience is decadent. I would highly recommend going and trying a few things.

Came here for a private party. Drive in and parking super easy. Atmosphere is calming. Plenty of natural light from the huge windows. Staff were awesome and tended to everyone's needs.

Extremely disappointed. My Wife and I tried NEBO for the first time and will probably never go back Food was not good, bland no flavor. Just very unimpressed. It was so disheartening to order one of my favorite dishes and be soooo disappointed. read more

DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT from Nebo. I placed an order on Sept 5, 2025. The person who took my order repeated it. I then repeated it back to her. She then confirmed that the veal dish was not gluten free like the other items. I confirmed that the veal was not GF. When I got home the order was incorrect. One of the items I ordered and that I confirmed over the phone twice was a veal dish. Instead I got a pasta dish. I called Nebo and told the order taker that there was a mistake. She said: THAT'S WHAT YOU ORDERED! I said: No, we went over the list twice and confirmed the non-GF dish 3 times. I did not order a pasta dish. NEBO employee: YES YOU DID. Me: No Miss. I ordered a veal dish. NEBO employee: NO, YOU DIDN'T ORDER THE VEAL. I'M SURE OF IT. There is no shortage of fine restaurants in the Seaport and the North End. Don't get verbally abused by an order taker after they make the mistake and refuse to "own it". I strongly urge people considering this restaurant NOT to order take out...unless you like to get yelled at. I like to be treated nicely especially when I spend $107 for an order of lasagna, calamari, a small order of olives and a plate of pasta that I didn't order. Go somewhere else. read more

NEBO is a gem. Very authentic Italian food. We began with Burrata and Salumi Misti with grilled bread. The homemade tomato relish that accompanied it was so a perfect balance to the cheese. The Salumi Misti has perfectly thinly sliced cured meats and cheese. One of the best I have ever had. We each had the Rucola salad which was fresh and simply seasoned with lemon and olive oil. We shared the Rigatoni Amartriciana which was such a delicious pasta. The main meals were exceptional, Cioppino (fish stew) and Pollo Limone. Great service, attentive and accommodating The restaurants is stunning and the outdoor seating is spacious and relaxing. read more

Went to Nebo last week and what a great diner! Our server recommended a nice bottle of wine which we loved. We started with the Caesar salad and the Polo Con Scampi for appetizers best I've ever had then we shared the Zucchini Lasagna(I see how this beat Bobby Flay) Fried Seafood Platter and a Gino pizza!! everything was great! The atmosphere was wonderful. I can't wait to go back next month for my friend's birthday!! read more

My wife and I had dinner (Saturday) and the food was great.......but the manager (did not get her name) had an attitude! She brings over a pizza with out plates. We waited about 5 minutes and finally went over to another waitress and she brought us the plates. The manager had no clue how to manage a restaurant. Maybe she came from Burger King - this manager just stands around doing nothing! For a high end restaurant, need to hire experienced people. read more

We went on a late Saturday afternoon. The place was not crowded at all. Plenty of room to sit. The ambience is really a 10. Very warm and cozy. I love the fact that they use real candles. Exposed brick and hard woods. Views of the city out the front windows. Very nicely done. We sat at the bar, and everyone who served us was excellent. Just very friendly and hospitable. They had plenty of gluten-free and dairy free options which was a plus. The food is expensive as to be expected considering the location. The food was very good. I wasn't blown away. But it was good enough to warrant four stars and I can give it a solid recommendation. The person sitting next to me ordered a pizza, which I did not try, but it did look quite delicious. They have a lot of pasta dishes, meatballs, chicken. Not an extensive menu, but some yummy options. read more

Dress nice. It's a great date, small groups and/or business dinner spot. Right off of Atlantic Ave. and Congress St., this place is perfect location for easy access and parking.

We came here with our 4 children during the lunchtime hour and thought maybe it might be too busy or too nice for us tourists to stop in. But we had a great experience, got our food rather quickly and the food was amazing! We were greeted by Carla as we were talking about a picture hanging in the bathroom. She told us an awesome story about it and all the pictures in the restaurant. They all have a story behind them, which I think is endearing and so neat. Thank you for a great experience Carla and staff! We loved it! read more

Nebo Cucina & Enoteca - Chef Carla took a picture with us outside. Such a wonderful lady. - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Pretty average Italian restaurant, solid food but won't blow your socks off. I've been on numerous occasions, and have tried the prosciutto di parma, burrata, arancini, calamari fritti, christina pizza (sausage, bacon, corn), and the ricotta gnocchi. The ricotta gnocchi is the only dish that stood out to me, as being very tasty and well put-together. The dish has homemade pasta, sweet Italian sausage, broccoli rabe, pecorino romano, and calabrian chili flakes. Each bite is well-seasoned, and has a little bit of a kick (spicy). The gnocchi is thick but not too dense, the sauce is creamy, and the chili flakes complete the dish. The ambiance both inside and outside the restaurant is nice- it's a great spot for a social gathering! I find service to be on the slower side, but this place is also usually packed. read more

Service was excellent. The first dish I got (the chicken dish) was very dry but I was offered another and I tried the veal, which was delicious. Prices are high. I had to pay an extra $22 for gluten free pasta on the side. Ambiance was great but there was a very loud private party that took away from it a bit. read more

Nebo Cucina & Enoteca - Gluten free pasta, chicken dish - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Last week, my husband and I, along with my sister-in-law and nephew came to Nebo for an early dinner. It was a beautiful night and while we did have the option to sit outside we worried that it would be too noisy as the restaurant faces a busy road. In hindsight, we wish we had opted to sit outside. More on that later. The restaurant is lovely and designed as so many are these days with a high-ceilinged, exposed vents, hardwood floors giving it an industrial look. I liked it. When you walk in there is a bar on one side and then the host desk where we were quickly greeted. As it was still early (5:30pm) we had a number of options and I asked that we be seated as far back from the bar as possible. The bar area was packed with people who I am guessing had just stopped in after work. The noise level at the bar was loud!!! Once we were seated our waitperson came by and introduced himself. He asked about allergies and if there was a need for gluten free menus. No and no. As many places do now he asked us "what kind" of water we wanted. He returned shortly thereafter with our waters and then took our drink menus. I was happy to see they had Falanghina which is a wine from the Campania region of Italy that I very much enjoy. I had that. My husband and nephew each had some kind of imported beer and my SIL had an Aperol spritz. The menu is a modernized take on Italian. For my main dish I ordered the Polenta Con Scampi. This was a dish of shrimp done scampi style over grilled polenta. The interesting take on this dish is that it included baccalà mantecato which is essentially salt cod whipped with olive oil. Alone it is a popular Venetian appetizer usually spread on grilled bread but here the spread was incorporated into the dish for a lovely burst of umami flavor. I love cod as well as anything made with salt cod and this was a tasty. The issue with my dish which otherwise was delicious was that it was swimming in far too much garlic butter. One might argue there is never enough delicious garlic butter in a dish but I am here to tell you this was too much. My SIL ordered the Acqua Pazza ("crazy water") which is a pan-seared arctic char with baby clams, capers, olives, fennel in a tomato brodo. She said she liked her dish. Both my husband and nephew ordered an individual pizza...I can't recall which ones they ordered but the menu has interesting selections from which to choose...They seemed to enjoy their choices. For dessert we shared an order of tiramisu and a plate of cenci which are thin pieces of of fried dough with powdered sugar on top. The cenci come with a dish of warm Nutella in which you can dip. The tiramisu was just okay and really needed to have more pizzazz. I didn't love the presentation in goblet (I prefer a wedge on a plate) and it needed a heavier hand with the espresso and cognac flavors. The cenci were unfortunately too greasy. While these are easy enough to make (I've done it) they require attention in ensuring they are drained well before serving. The primary issue with Nebo is the noise level which will prevent us from returning any time soon. As the tables filled up, the noise level became almost intolerable. Any restaurant where patrons have to raise their voices in order to be heard is a problem. This is why in hindsight we wished that we had chosen to sit outside where even the traffic noise would have been an improvement. Some restaurants are misguided in thinking noise equals an energetic vibe and while this may be true, it is also annoying and exhausting. I urge Nebo to consider some sound abatement measures. The only other time I had been to Nebo is when they opened in the early 2000s and they were in their original location. The restaurant was much smaller, the two sisters who own it were out and about in the dining room and the menu was much more old-school. I recall they even had tripe on the menu! The restaurant became popular and moved some time later to this larger location where it has evolved into what seems to be a "hot spot". Hot spots often spell trouble in one way or another...the noise level is the primary trouble here. The food is okay to good and needs more attention to detail in the areas I mentioned. Given the price point which is relatively high, I would expect more focus and care in the kitchen. (Women's bathroom, btw is nice and despite how busy the restaurant was, it was clean and tidy.) read more

I came here with a friend for dinner it was ok. The service was good and the ambiance is decent. I had the pasta with bolognese and there was more sauce than there was pasta. It could use a little more flavor. For dessert we had the tiramisu that was good. The food was decent. read more

Boyfriend and I made a last minute reservation for our anniversary. The place got us seated immediately. It was a bit loud, but it's also a pretty big restaurant so it was to be expected. The lighting is also a bit dark. We ordered a bottle of wine and some calamari to start--which was great! Very tasty. Bf got the veal cutlet, sooo good. I made sure to try it I got the ricotta gnocchi, which had a lot of greens in it, but I enjoyed it regardless. Our server was good! Attentive when she needed to be, couldn't have asked for more! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Boston! The pasta is consistently amazing! It is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What truly sets Nebo apart is the hospitality! The team is warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It's clear they love what they do, and that passion shows in both the food and the experience. A favorite spot I return to again and again. read more

I somehow ended up here twice on a work trip. Being jet lagged and gluten free led me here. It was stylish and busy, but a hit or miss with food - mostly a miss. First night, I ordered a Caesar salad and calamari. Calamari rings were decent, but the tentacles were pretty darn tasty. Breading was different than the rings, seemed like more of a crunchy cornmeal breading on the tentacles? So definitely ate all the tentacles and left quite a bit of the rings. Dedicated gluten free fryer which is tricky when I travel, so was much appreciated. The calamari came with aioli which was the right balance of tangy & creamy, but I always enjoy dipping those bad boys in marinara. I ordered a side of marinara which was bland and under seasoned & salted so I stuck with the aioli. Caesar salad was standard, nothing special or awful about it. Bartender was chill - helpful and nice. Couple days later, found myself here again and ordered the bolognese and all I gotta say is meh. Bolognese is not ground beef simmered in marinara sauce, but seems like here, it is. It lacked salt, depth of flavor, and any sort of fat. Tasted like my Irish mother's meat sauce growing up in the Midwest which consisted of a jar of marinara and some lean ground beef (no offense mom). 35$ for a 5$ plate of ingredients. I've had so many good meals in Boston, and despite the convenience, will end up somewhere else next time I'm around. read more

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend because I've heard about how good their gluten free menu / options are and my boyfriend has celiac so reputable GF kitchens are so important. Whenever we make reservations we always note that we are eating GF and make sure to tell the waiter as we order, and noted that he did mark it down. However, my boyfriend was glutened after eating here which bums me out so much! Maybe it was a mixup in the kitchen or some accidental cross contamination which happens, but when a menu is voted as the "best GF menu" I think I do expect a little more. Their menu does say that they cannot guarantee a 100% GF kitchen, but they do take precautions against cross contamination. We ordered the calamari to start; we're pretty sure this is how he got glutened but because the dish is on the gluten free menu we assumed it would be fried separately? In the moment it was really good, and the aioli was great. For mains, I tried the "Bobby Flay Throwdown Winner" (a zucchini lasagna) and my boyfriend ordered the cappesante (a mascarpone sauce pasta with scallops). We were a little underwhelmed for the price of the entrées. The lasagna was good, but better reheated the next day--something I don't really expect when paying $30 for a veggie lasagna to be completely honest. The cappesante had a really overwhelming lemon flavor that put my boyfriend off, but I didn't really mind a few days later (after reheating). The scallops on his pasta were cooked nicely. We went in on a Thursday evening and it was busier than I thought it would be, at some points every single seat was filled. We had to wait a long time before our waiter even came by the first time (enough time for both of us to go to the bathroom and come back and finish our water). The ambiance of Nebo is really nice, I loved the look of the interior and I'm a sucker for good ambient lighting. Maybe we came here on an off day, but for the price and after effects of glutening, I can't strongly recommend Nebo. read more

Atmosphere and decor was great and that's where it ends. Food was meh at best. For the plate prices, I would expect more flavor and cooking skills. Chicken piccata was overcooked. The zucchini lasagna was bland and no where what I would expect as a Bobby Flay winner. I could have cooked the noodle dishes better. As for the tiramisu, the ladyfingers still had a bit of a crunch. Drinks seemed watered down as well. Parking was $42 for 3 hours and they only validate after 5pm. Save your money and go to the North End. read more

This restaurant just happened to be right next door to our hotel, Intercontinental Boston. We were tired from travel so glad to not have to walk too far. The weather was great (we had left the "oven" of Texas!) so we asked to be seated outside on the patio. Since we had our grandson with us we settled on pizza. DEEEElish! The Christina, with Italian sausage and sweet corn (say wuttt) and the Bianco, with prosciutto and arugula were sooo good! Our server, Haritza, was attentive. My grandson had a question about the "bean" (which is actually in Chicago) and the manager, Brian, was very thoughtful and kind when answering all of his questions. I highly recommend. read more

Ate here the other night. Atmosphere is nice and service was adequate but not real attentive. Drinks were weak seemed watered down. Food was just ok. Apps-Sliced prosciutto was very good, Burrata was just ok - garlic bread seemed like just dry toast Calamari was not tender but was fishy. Main-Veal Milanese was a bit chewy and not tender. Chicken Limone was just ok. Rigatoni was good but not memorable. At this point I skipped dessert. One and done here. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Nebo on a Saturday evening after spending the afternoon at the Boston Tea Party & Ships Museum nearby. I give this restaurant a solid four stars, maybe 4.5. The food was fresh and delicious. We shared the Timballo Di Melanzana (baked eggplant, mozzarella and marinara) as an appetizer and we each ordered the Zucchini Lasagna with bolognese, both of which were very satisfying. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I also appreciated that they had a couple mocktail options on the menu too. I am subtracting one star from my review because it took a long time for anyone to come to our table once we were seated and it also took a while for our food to arrive. Our server (who was excellent and provided helpful menu recommendations) apologized for the wait and explained it was because all dishes are prepared fresh. The wait was worth it, but it seemed their kitchen may be short staffed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back! Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Wait time for food (not our server's fault: 3 stars Ambiance: 5 stars read more

The ambiance and cocktails at Nebo are fantastic. We dined here for a later dinner reservation (8:30 pm) on a Saturday night. The service was fine, nothing spectacular, but we were also a late table so imagine they were finished after our group. We had both bruschettas as appetizers - there is one that's basically just garlic butter bread, the other is a sweeter, dessert-style bread. The breads were both very good, but not typical bruschetta as one would expect as there were no tomatoes. The main course dishes we got were the spaghetti and lemon chicken. None of our main course dishes were very flavorful. Overall would recommend this spot, but only as a stop for cocktails and appetizers. read more
