Bar Enza

“Such a beautiful experience to enjoy with family. The food was absolutely delicious, from the salmon to the perfectly prepared chicken. Everything had amazing flavor and presentation. We especially want to thank Alejandra for her kindness and outstanding service. My family and I felt truly welcomed and well taken care of, and we genuinely appreciated her attention and warm attitude. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended, especially for a Sunday family visit.”

“We had a great experience at the restaurant. Barbara, our server, was excellent—very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations that we really enjoyed. We started with the mussels and another appetizer, which were both delicious. For our main courses, we had the pork chop and the oxtail pasta, and both dishes were outstanding. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and Barbara’s service made it even better. We would definitely come back.”

“What a meal! Really nice space on 2nd floor of hotel. Not noisy at all. Had 7:15 reservation on Saturday night. Greeted by friendly host who promptly sat us on time. Waitress Barbara was extremely friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. She was happy to be working there. Our food was delicious. Bread basket very creative. Just try it. You’ll see! Started with Tuna Tartar which was very fresh, served at a perfect chilled temperature, just creamy enough. It was very good. The Enza salad has different varieties of beets and citrus with a bright dressing and pistachios. Gave us a good summer feel on a cold winter night. The pork chop was served off the bone was cooked to perfection with a nice char and served with an onion chutney or something. Absolutely delicious. The flat iron steak was cooked medium rare and served with a nice sauce. We had the chocolate torte for dessert that came with a cream sauce that I finally gave up trying to identify and when told it was a Marsala reduction it hit me. YES! The drinks and wines are excellent. This restaurant is going in my top 5 Boston area spots. We will definitely be going back.”

“I've had several enjoyable visits to Bar Enza but the most recent stand out because the menu options just keep getting better! During my last visit, Katia was behind the bar and she delighted me with her amazing signature cocktail, "Pomo di Katia". It's vibrant and refreshing, with a touch of citrus. It's absolutely delicious -- your taste buds will thank you! Katia is fantastic, but if she's not working, the equally talented and friendly Ali will create a cocktail that will thrill your palette. I started my meal with the rich, flavorful and creamy celery root soup (in the photos). It's very satisfying and my favorite way to start a meal in the cold weather. I followed the soup with the red snapper special that came with gnocchi and asparagus (also in the photos with Katia's special cocktail). Everything was perfectly cooked, tender and well-seasoned. I added a side of creamed spinach and I liked that it emphasized the spinach more than the cream. It has texture and you can really taste the spinach unlike other creamed spinach dishes I've had. I also included a photo of the delectable tomahawk pork chop entree that I had during an earlier visit. It's a generous portion with a savory, mouth-watering glaze that's exploding with flavor -- highly recommended! I also want to mention my appreciation of the manager Ana. She's welcoming and personable, and she works hard to make sure you're well taken care of. Ana is the best! Thank you, Ana, Katia, and Ali!”

“Update 8.2025 The service was much improved. Noise level pretty high and the place was half full. The fish was excellent. The Pappa al pomodoro was bland. The tiramisu has no coffee in it and they used millefoglie instead of biscuits so it was more like 'smores than tiramisu. Updated 2.2024. The service was mediocre (I watched the ice melt into my negroni for 10 minutes before I actually got to drink it). The food was ok. Fritto misto was really good. Mushrooms pears and taleggio not so much. It was a lot louder this time too. And the bill felt a bit steep. Over $100/person for a drink, an antipasto and a primo. The polpettone and especially the broccoli they brought with it were very good. Also the soffritto toscano with olives.”
