“I went here on my last night in Boston during my stay at Liberty Hotel. This place has by far the best pasta I have ever tasted in my life. Pictured is the large plate Cacio e Pepe and it is to die for. I will definitely be back!”
“Great food, staff and atmosphere! Maybe the best meal we have had on the city!”
“Erica our server was amazing! Ask for Erica she knew the menu well and had an amazing energy! We started off with Calamari highly recommend light and fluffy and a homemade sauce. We had a bottle of wine a chianti! For dinner I had the chicken which was amazing! For dessert a tiramisu that was so delicious!”
“Stopped in for a Mother's Day lunch. We had a reservation, so we were seated promptly. Service was attentive with casual elegance. We selected from the special Mother's Day Menu. Our starter was a Caesar salad. Entrees included chicken, pasta carbonara, gluten-free spaghetti, and a gnocchi plate with mussels. All were delicious. Full bar and extensive wine list available. Wood fired oven for pizzas. Lovely atmosphere in a unique historic setting.”
“This restaurant is inside the Liberty Hotel: the grounds used to be an old jail house. -loved the ambiance and atmosphere -from reading other reviews: we weren’t given a complimentary bread basket or dip… -the espresso martini was given with cream to me…I was surprised , but the waiter without a problem took it back and gave me a real espresso martini… -the lobster pizza was delicious! -the tuna tartar was delicious! -my partner got the scampo cracklings & hot pepper (Now there was no actual description of what’s entirely in this…nor did the waiter ask us if we had any allergens, or anything) we don’t eat pork…. And I was very upset after he told me that it tastes like meat and we confirmed with the waiter…but I didn’t make a scene or anything because it was New Year’s Eve… But for a place like this,,, he assumes I want cream in my espresso martini, he didn’t ask for any food allergies or anything….it’s utterly upsetting. -I wasn’t a fan of the tiramisu…I had better elsewhere Overall very nice restaurant and I do recommend.”
