    Pasta with Fave beans, crispy guanciale, and Romano cheese.

    I've now been to Olivia's Kitchen four times. The first time was for brunch on International Woman's Day, which was delicious. It's the type of food where you can taste each of the quality ingredients just before they meld together into the perfect bite! The other three times were for dinner. Every appetizer, entree and dessert we have tried have been amazing. I only managed to snap a picture on the last visit because every other time we all dove into our plates so quickly, there was nothing left to capture! The waiters make it such an enjoyable experience and the Chef was warm and gracious.

    In all of my years visiting the Cambridge area, I haven't been to Toscano; I've been missing out!…read moreWe made reservations for a Thursday night, but it wasn't terribly busy so I think we could have walked in. We ordered a bunch of things to share (listed with my favorites at the top): - Rack of lamb, not too well-done so had good flavor and the right texture; it came with a huge portion of mashed potatoes - Tiramisu - Veal scalloppine pizzaiola - Mushroom pizza - Broccoli rabe

    We've eaten at the Beacon Hill location many times, and was disappointed by our first trip to the…read moreHarvard Square location. The atmosphere and vibe was very different and lacks the class of the Boston location. Didn't have the same "fine dining" vibe. Service was decent, but not the top notch professional service we're accustomed to in Boston. The server didn't really engage with us, and overall was a bit indifferent throughout the meal. Two in our party ordered t-bone steaks, which were cooked perfectly as ordered, but the cuts were on the thin side. The seafood mixed grill (one of the nights specials) was extremely disappointing, a ridiculously small portion, and the shrimp and fish were overcooked and dry. We had the cheese tasting as an appetizer, and the portion was laughably small. We'll stick to Beacon Hill from now on. Never been disappointed with anything there.

    Finally had a chance to try this spot after hearing good things…read more I have been visiting Boston area pretty regularly for work lately and this place has been on my list. Made reservations for 1 in advance and was able finally come by. Staff was amazing and very friendly. My waiter John was nice and very knowledgeable. Atmosphere here was very nice. I ordered the oysters, pappardelle, and gelato. Oysters were a nice appetite starter. Had the pappardelle with black truffle and I demolished that dish. Absolutely going to come back. I am surprised this place has not recieved a Michelin star yet because everything was on par.

    Such a lovely spot. So happy I was able to stop by during my visit…read more As mentioned many times, reservations are quite a challenge. I was in town visiting and was lucky enough to grab a bar spot later in the evening on a really cold night. The service -- superior. I was done making the decisions for the day so I had my server guide the experience and he was not wrong! I started with the best cocktail I had in Boston, . So good! Next I went with the Semolina cakes which were lovely. Followed that with spice crusted bluefin tuna which I devoured. For the main course -- i wanted a representative dish since i may never get the opportunity to circle back and the pappardelle with wild boar was amazing! I ate every bite. Ricotta cheesecake was for dessert and it was sooo good. I had to take the last few bites to go to enjoy later. Definitely work the reservation challenge

    Amazing little spot in the Boston North End. We walked in…read morejust before lunch and were seated immediately. Recommend reservations for dinner as others have mentioned as it's relatively small, but cozy and reminiscent of some of my favorite Italy spots. Service was personal, immediate and wonderful. Bread was great as appetizer and filling. We ordered two specials and were VERY happy we did (see photos).

    I recently visited Isabella Ristorante in the North End and had a really enjoyable dinner overall…read more I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because the restaurant fills up quickly, especially during dinner hours. One small thing -- maybe it was just me, but the entrance was a little difficult to find at first since it's mainly just a door from the outside. There were also tables seated very close to the entrance, which made it feel a bit cramped and awkward walking in and out. Our waiter was friendly and nice, though the service did feel a little rushed at times. That said, the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the calamari to share, and it was beautifully prepared -- crispy, fresh, and not overly heavy. For my entree, I ordered the seafood pasta and really loved it. The seafood tasted fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors all came together really well.
